Keywords: upgrade time Message-ID: <4496@accuvax.nwu.edu> Date: 28 Feb 90 20:01:15 GMT Sender: news@accuvax.nwu.edu Reply-To: wargaski@ils.nwu.edu (Robert E. Wargaski Jr.) Organization: The Institute for the Learning Sciences Lines: 33 What is the status of version 3.0 of TeX? The README file in ~ftp/pub/tex at labrea.stanford.edu has the following notice: >---------------------------------------- > *** IMPORTANT NOTICE *** > >TeX, Metafont, etc. were modified in the fall of 1989, and the new >versions of various files are available here. The update process is >not yet complete, however. It will be complete when > - TeX version 3.0 is released (currently it is at version 2.993) > - new web2c change files are written > - a new Unix TeX distribution containing TeX 3.0 is prepared >Until then, the files here will not all be consistent, so you should >not try to merge files from the Stanford source directories, the Unix >TeX distribution, or the web2c distribution unless you are prepared to >spend some time fixing incompatibilities. > >---------------------------------------- I want to upgrade all of the TeX stuff for which I am responsible, but am dependent upon web2c, as we have no access to a pascal compiler. Any help will be much appreciated. I have no preference on responses (i.e. via email or posting): I will post any email which is especially helpful. Thanks much.
