I did answer, but quite often my mail from tardis seems to drop on the
floor - I've got a more reliable machine to post/mail from now.

As I explained synchronicitously in my last message, there have been
a few cockups... However, TeX on the server comes complete with a
!System and offical acorn update program which I know works (I
installed it all on a wiped machine before I posted it) -- and since
I paid the bucks to acorn for the license specifically to distribute
clib et al with TeX, you might as well use the proper modules.

Well - I say proper... shortly after posting, I got mail from Acorn
saying that the current official release was now a newer version - which
I'm expecting to arrive any day now.  Excuse me if I'm fuzzy about
version numbers; don't have the docs to hand.  I suspect what I put
on Newcastle was 3.65 and the offical release is 3.66 - or something
like that. I dunno.

PPS tiggr wrote the excellent bits of the previewer; I just did the
drudgery :-)  (And Ian Young made all the recent changes)
