Greetings,

I too was confused for a while how anyone could install TeX on a Sun 3
running Sun OS 4.0; they probably used a 3.X executable instead.  Funny,
though, the "undump" that comes with the current distribution of C TeX
works on our Sun 4s.  [[ If you got the distribution recently, it is
probably the fixed version.  --wnl ]]

Recently I finished writing a version of "undump" for the new Sun core
file format.  I would be happy to make this available to other people.
However, I would like to do this via ftp (not mail) as I am rather busy
with other things these days (our NeXT machines have just arrived! :-).

I will place a copy of my version of undump in /usr/ftp/pub/undump.c on
iuvax.cs.indiana.edu.  If you have problems picking this up, let me know.

We have also just received our Sun 386i and I am in the process of writing
a version of undump to generate a COFF executable file.  If there is
sufficient interest this can also be made publically available.
Alternatively, has anyone already written this?  I'd prefer not having to
write it at this time.
