                       Problem installing TeX 2.93 on a 3B2/400

Subject:       Problem installing TeX 2.93 on a 3B2/400

[NOTE: I posted this to TeXHax as well.  I just thought i'd try this
list also since I haven't been receiving TeXHax for a few days.]

I am attempting to install TeX 2.93 and friends from the latest Washington
tape onto a 3B2/400 with the floating point C compiler (fpcc).  All goes
well until time to compile the last module of C code (tex8.c).  The compile
fails with a compiler error indicating that the switch table has overflowed.
This also happens when I try to compile DVItype for the trip test.

I have looked everywhere for some kind of switch I can set to avoid this.
I looked in web2c, tex.web (forget it, I don't pretend to understand it)
and other places.  I did find a reference in tex.web to something that causes
defualt cases to be created by web interpreters.  That is what seems to
be needed to fix my problem.

If you have experienced this, please respond directly to me.  I appreciate
any help anyone can supply
