+Subject: problem: tex omits every other word in wrapped lines
+
+We have just installed TeX, Version 3.1415 (C version 6.1). We are
+running SunOS 4.1.3u1. Everything is fine, except that in paragraphs
+in which words are wrapped, the wrapped lines have every other word
+omitted. The space is there for the word, but the text itself is
+missing. For example:
+
+How it should look:
+
+This is a test paragraph. This sentence will wrap and will be missing
+words. This sentence will be ok.
+
+How is really looks:
+
+This a paragraph. sentence wrap will missing
+words. This sentence will be ok.
+
+Using dvitype, we have determined that an overflow is occuring (it
+says so)....we had no problems compiling, so we have no clue where to
+start looking for the problem.
+
+Here's how dvitype should look after the first word of the paragraph:
+
+166: push
+level 1:(h=0,v=1441792,w=0,x=0,y=786432,z=0,hh=0,vv=91)
+167: right3 1310720 h:=0+1310720=1310720, hh:=83
+171: setchar84 h:=1310720+473316=1784036, hh:=113
+172: setchar104 h:=1784036+364090=2148126, hh:=136
+173: setchar105 h:=2148126+182045=2330171, hh:=148
+174: setchar115 h:=2330171+258503=2588674, hh:=164
+175: w3 197495 h:=2588674+197495=2786169, hh:=176
+179: setchar115 h:=2786169+258503=3044672, hh:=192
+180: setchar104 h:=3044672+364090=3408762, hh:=215
+181: setchar111 h:=3408762+327681=3736443, hh:=236
+182: setchar117 h:=3736443+364090=4100533, hh:=259
+183: setchar108 h:=4100533+182045=4282578, hh:=271
+184: setchar100 h:=4282578+364090=4646668, hh:=294
+185: w0 197495 h:=4646668+197495=4844163, hh:=307
+186: setchar98 h:=4844163+364090=5208253, hh:=330
+187: right2 18205 h:=5208253+18205=5226458, hh:=331
+
+How it really looks (using the old version of dvitype):
+
+166: push
+level 1:(h=0,v=1441792,w=0,x=0,y=786432,z=0,hh=0,vv=91)

+173: setchar105 h:=2148126+182045=2330171, hh:=148
+174: setchar115 h:=2330171+258503=2588674, hh:=164

+182: setchar111 h:=-2144053928+327681=-2143726247, hh:=-135785

+184: setchar108 h:=-2143362157+182045=-2143180112, hh:=-135750
+185: setchar100 h:=-2143180112+364090=-2142816022, hh:=-135727
+186: w0 -2147265195 arithmetic overflow! parameter changed from
+- -2147265195 to -4667625 h:=-2142816022-4667625=-2147483647,
+hh:=-136021 warning: |h|>2144676521!
+187: setchar98 h:=-2147483647+364090=-2147119557, hh:=-135998
+
+I don't really know what these numbers mean, but the h: things
+continue to be negative, yet words still keep appearing. They return
+to normal for the second sentence of the paragraph (which didn't
+wrap). Also, using the new dvitype, the hh: numbers alternate between
+0 and -2147483648 throughout the entire file, and once the numbers get
+screwed up, they remain so, even for the text that shows up correctly.
+
+Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
+
+Thanks!

+
+You don't say which OS you're running. If it's OSF/1, try the web2c
+distribution; I know it's buildable from that (though I've never done
+it, I just use it). That'll get you the basic Knuthian system and the
+utilities that go with it. (If it's VMS, the distribution is *old*,
+and I know nothing about TeX for NT.)
+
+I would also recommend using dvipsk and xdvik to go with it, since
+they use the same path-searching library.
+
+For LaTeX, I would recommend going straight to 2e for a new
+installation. If you want to stick with the 2.09, you'll have to go
+somewhere other than the archive (cus, which you posted from, stolidly
+maintains several variously out-of-date versions, so you could try
+there). The minimum installation (imo) is the LaTeX base and the
+tools. A new release was due out yesterday, so perhaps by the time
+you've got your executables built it'll be on the archive.
+

+\subsection PC and Mac disks
+
+ From January 1994 the UK TeX Users' Group is distributing an
+ emTeX kit for PCs, and an OzTeX kit for Macintosh. The cost
+ covers copying and postage costs, and the shareware fee for
+ OzTeX. Each set costs \pounds30, and is available from
+ Peter Abbott, 1 Eymore Close, Selly Oak, Birmingham B29 4LB.
+ Cheques must be payable to `UKTUG'. Please note that this
+ service **is available to UKTUG members only.**
+
+ Each set comes with an installation guide, and (at least)
+ full TeX and Metafont, a previewer, a PostScript driver, and
+ CM fonts. Two update disks a year will be sent out
+ automatically, with the current version of LaTeXe, and other
+ goodies. A subscription service will be available for
+ subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to
+ 3 disks a year with any material from the CTAN archives, but
+ this will be supplied `as is', without instructions.
+
+ OzTeX and emTeX are also available on disk from TeX Users Group;
+ mail TUG for details.
