Tex for Xenix 286

Ok folks, enough flooding of my mailbox. I will start shipping the source
for Tex right now.

The source consists of a bunch of files, most of them compressed and uuencoded.
There are three groups of files: the files for Tex, the files for undump,
and the drivers. You should keep them in separate directories.

And yes of course, all you guys out there having all other kinds of flavors
of Unix machines, you can run this version too, provided your C-compiler does
not choke or generate weird buggy code on this input. I have tried it on
different machines, including Sun and Vax.

386 machines may need a little work: undef M_XENIX since it generates huge-
model 286 code, which is not what you want. so don't forget to edit the
Makefile. Also, you'll have to write your own undump (please post it after
you finished), cause I am poor and don't have a 386 system and/or Xenix/386.
(that's because I give such valuable code away for free I guess.)

No, I won't send macro's, fonts or anything to anyone: you DO need the
Tex distribution tape.

My apologies for those who don't want Tex and now will be getting these
million postings with the different parts of Tex. I suggest you save them
until someone manages to get you all excited about Tex and you'll want it.

Enjoy!

Paul.
