I've been trying to get TeX up on our Apollo network,
and I'm using the Apollo mods from srt.  Everything is
fine, except that the program can't read the font files
in the form I got them off the Stanford distribution tape.
Apollo Pascal returns an error when trying to open them,
because they are of type 'uasc' when they should be type
'rec'.  This is the way 'tar' created them.  I've tried
changing the type of the file with 'obty', I've tried
a program that read the files as characters, and then
wrote them as 'file of integer', nothing seems to work.

Can someone give me some suggestions?  I'm completely
stuck.
