OK, as you know there are some TeX sources on rose.  All I have is in
~shb/src/TeX.  I have tidied them up recently, so....

The subdirectories are :-

	./tex-binaries	-- where I made tex from ctex (see below)
	./ctex		-- C version of TeX from Aston
	./tex		-- C version of TeX from eunet.sources
	./macros	-- some macros I used to get the things going
	./tex-drivers	-- dvi drivers from eunet.sources
	./undump	-- undump for Uniplus (I think) from eunet.sources
	./undump.tex82	-- undump from tex82 compiled for Sun3.
	./README.rose	-- this file

I think you know about the problems with the macros etc, as that is all
we've done today.

I think that the TeX to use is aston ctex, rather than the eunet.source
version  i.e. give up 5% speed for better code.  The aston stuff here
comes with minimal information, but I will try to tell you how it works.
Maybe the tape will contain more info.

With ./ctex there are the following files and directories

	./ctex/README ./ctex/ctex.readme
			-- info file from the shar, and from the aston archive

	./ctex/RCS
			-- the C code for TeX

	./ctex/SMALL
	./ctex/BIG
	./ctex/BIGG
			-- each of these contain sub-directories with
			   Makefiles for initex and virtex (see below).

	./ctex/JOY ./ctex/README
			-- some info files

Not being quite sure of the best way to build TeX, here is what I did.

The three directories SMALL, BIG and BIGG contain Makefiles for three 
versions of TeX, which are compiled on the basis of the size of memory
available i.e. small, medium and large -- I chose BIGG.

What I've done is to hard link all the code ".c and .h" files in RCS
to these directories, and then each made initex and virtex i.e

		cd ctex/BIGG/INIT; make
		cd ../VIR
		make

I edited files.h to reflect that the tex libraries are in /usr/lib/tex,
rather than /lib/local/tex as original.

Initex and virtex are left in the directories ctex/BIGG/INIT and 
ctex/BIGG/VIR respectively.  I have removed the object files ".o" as
they just take up space.

I then linked them to ./tex-binaries, made tex and latex there using 
the ../macros directory in the TEXINPUTS path.  Instructions on how 
to make tex are in ./tex/README or 
tex82/LaTeX/LaTeXorigfiles/latex.ins
