Date:	  29 May 88				Message No:	004

To:	  TeX implementors and distributors

From:	  Barbara Beeton

Subject:  TeX early-warning system:  status report and TeX 2.92


Owing to a number of problems and general lack of time, this mailing list
has been moribund since the end of last year; the last message sent out
was number 3, dated 24 Dec 87.  There have now been some developments
that should be communicated, so we'll try to get things started again.
As it's been so long since the last message, there are some new names on
the list, and I've also changed some addresses to try to keep up with
changes to gateways and other mailer idosyncrasies, I'd appreciate it
if you'd acknowledge your receipt of the message; the mailer doesn't
always say that an address is unreachable, especially if it's going
across network gateways.

Last week I received the following message from Don Knuth:

  Date: 25 May 88  1911 PDT
  From: Don Knuth <DEK@SAIL.Stanford.EDU>
  Subject: Tex, aka Humpty Dumpty   

  (are you ready for this?)
  Today I repaired five (5) bugs in TeX and two (2) in METAFONT,
  thereby making TeX version 2.92 and MF version 1.4.

  Five. Yes, five. Plus two is seven.
  Quite a blow to any feelings of confidence I once had...

  Two TeX bugs were reported, one by Robert Messer and one by Peter
  Breitenlohner.  The Messer bug appeared last month in TeXhax, where it was
  analyzed by Chris Thompson: When I'm scanning a file name, I use the string
  pool as a buffer, and this conflicts with use of the string to define a
  new control sequence (if the file name contains a macro call that has
  parameters that are undefined control sequences). 

  Following DRF's dictum, I tried to think if any other bugs of a similar
  nature could occur; and indeed I noticed that another case arises if
  \string or \meaning or \the or suchlike occur as part of the file name
  being scanned.  (In previous versions of TeX, constructions like "\input
  X\jobname" worked, but only by sheer luck... the `X' was lost and combined
  with the \jobname and that whole thing was rescanned... very kludgy and
  certainly not what I intended nor would it work with \expandafter.)

  While testing that, I noticed another strange thing you could do with
  TeX version 2.91: Try typing \input\romannumeral6 to the ** prompt,
  then say \end on the next line; TeX tries to open file ".tex", then it
  tells you it has written a transcript file called "viTEXPUT".

  I needed to patch the make_name_string routine when fixing the latter bug.
  This is one of the routines that's often in a change file, so people may
  have to make a small update to their change file when they install 2.92.

  In summary, I found three bugs because of what Messer reported; luckily
  I had to pay for only one of them. What about the others? Well,
  Breitenlohner noticed that \patterns would fail if a pattern starts with a
  character whose \lccode is 1.  While fixing that, I noticed a weird
  circumstance that would arise only if an extremely nasty user tried very
  hard to cause a range error; thus, five bugs total.

  Both METAFONT bugs were found by Chris Thompson. One was a typo,
  easily fixed; the other was craftily contrived in the TRIP/TRAP mold
  (I mean, it was not the sort of thing any reasonable person would ever
  run into, yet it produced a bug natheless). No bugs had been found in
  METAFONT for almost two years, so I had pretty much forgotten how
  to install a new version!

  Breitenlohner also pointed out an infelicity in PLAIN.TEX; I've updated
  that too. To top it all off, another typo in the MFbook was reported.

  The new sources at SAIL have new versions of TEX.WEB, MF.WEB, PLAIN.TEX,
  and all the TRIP and TRAP files.  ...

  I've kept ERRATA.TEX[tex,dek] up to date, except that I didn't bother
  to show all the changes to indexes and mini-indexes.

  The files TEX82.BUG[tex,dek] and MF84.BUG[mf,dek] are also up to date.
  As far as I know, everything at SAIL is now bugfree and self-consistent.

  No amount of apologies can suffice for my stupidities reflected in
  all these booboos.

  ...mumble seven new errors my my mumble seven SEVEN seven SEVEN my my
  mumble seven...


A note seems in order on the reference to SAIL.  SAIL (SAIL.Stanford.Edu)
is a DEC-10 running under the WAITS operating system; this is the system
on which Knuth works, and the files here are always the most up-to-date.
When Knuth sends out notice of a new version, the affected files are
transported to SCORE (SCORE.Stanford.Edu), a DEC-20 running under TOPS-20;
the generic distribution tape is generated here, as well as the TOPS-20
distribution.  The TeX system files at SCORE are maintained and updated
by volunteers, who are not always able to react immediately to changes at
SAIL.  Both SAIL and SCORE support anonymous FTP, and a later message will
provide more information on that.

Today's information will consist of the new entries in the TeX82.BUG file,
a comparison of the TeX.WEB files for version 2.92 and 2.9, and the changes
in PLAIN.TeX.
