Since this is a form letter that Pierre sends out, let me update this by stating that the bug mentioned above is indeed fixed in SunOS 3.[23] for 68010 architecture. Also, there are bug fixes and improvements to the Pascal compiler in release 3.3, so those out there with Suns considering buying the Unix TeX tape might think about waiting until you are running SunOS 3.3 [or 3.4, which is due out Real Soon Now] before trying to build it. It would probably make life considerably easier. -- Greg Earle earle@{jplpub1,jplopto}.JPL.NASA.GOV (Now ex-)JPL jpl{pub1,opto}!earle@jpl-elroy.ARPA jpl(pub1,opto}!earle@elroy.JPL.NASA.GOV seismo!cit-vax!elroy!jpl{opto,pub1}!earle ---------------------------------------- Submissions to: desktop%plaid@sun.com -OR- sun!plaid!desktop Administrivia to: desktop-request%plaid@sun.com -OR- sun!plaid@desktop-request Paths: {ihnp4,decwrl,hplabs,seismo,ucbvax}!sun Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM [I don't read flames] There is no statute of limitations on stupidity
