I have been enjoying my first installation of TeX from the Labrea Archive,
and all seems fine except that TeX does not seem to recognize the default
input directory /usr/local/lib/tex/inputs.  Typing \input plain results
in the complaint:
	! I can't find file `plain.tex'.
	l.1 \input plain.tex

	Please type another input file name: 

I have checked that site.h points to the correct directory, the directory
exists (a soft link /usr2/local/lib/tex/inputs).

Is this correct behavior?  I compared to the behavior on the machines at
the university of chicago, and discovered that the old installation (TeX
2.?) does recognize a default input directory, but TeX 3.0 does not.

Any advice/comments?

Thanks,

--Walter
