I am writing with regard to the missing files with the UNIX/386
distribution on math.berkeley.edu.  I downloaded it early
yesterday and I did notice that some of the tfm files had been
missing but I am not sure if any other files were missing.
TeX, LaTeX and MetaFont seem to be running just fine after I
obtained copies of the missing tfms required for the preloading
of the TeX formats.  What were the missing files?  Do I have to
download it again?  (Please I hope not!!!  Actually, I just
don't want to have to regenerate any of the fonts again.  Do I
need the tfms for generating the fonts?)

I do have one very important question to ask of you.

I am running ISC 2.2 and I just got the DVI converters from
math.utah.edu but I am not sure how to send the converted
output to the printer.  I am using a HP printer and I know
that PCL is a binary format.  What UNIX command can I use to
get the PCL file sent to the printer in binary mode?  I want
to thank you for your efforts.  In fact, I was prepared all
week long to download all of the TeX source and bring up the
binaries myself.  You saved me a lot of time and a lot of
hair pulling ;)

Thanks,
Wilson

P.S.  I would have emailed you, but I tried earlier and it
      bounced repeatedly.
