Date:	  19 Mar 90				Message No:	028

To:	  TeX implementors and distributors

From:	  Barbara Beeton

Subject:  Updates to TeX.WEB, MF.WEB, GFtoDVI, et al.


New versions of TeX.WEB, MF.WEB and other updates have been installed
at labrea, as Dan Kolkowitz has reported.  For the benefit of those who
may not be able to ftp these files easily, this message contains some
of the more important details:

    New files at labrea since 3 January 91
    Changes to the errata list (ERRATA.SIX)
    Addenda to TeX82.BUG as of 13 March 91
    Addenda to MF84.BUG as of 13 March 91
    Differences between TeX.WEB 3.1 and 3.14 (as of 18 March 1991)
    Differences between TeX.WEB 3.0 and 3.1 (as of 21 September 1990)
    Differences between MF.WEB 2.0 and MF.WEB 2.7 (as of 13 March 1991)
    Cosmetic change, GFTODVI.WEB, ver 3.0

Differences in TeX.WEB are provided in two parts since the details of the
update from version 3.0 to 3.1 was never reported in one of these messages.
In fact, both TeX.WEB and MF.WEB have been updated twice, with only one
version change, since the previous update.  The most recent changes were,
as Don Knuth says in the prose at the top, only cosmetic; cosmetic changes
do not usually appear in the bug listings, but should generally be made to
the main WEB files anyhow in order to keep in synch.

This is the last time that it will be possible to provide the difference
listings in this form.  These difference listings were prepared with a
TOPS-20 utility, and the Math Society's DEC-20 is being unplugged and
de-installed tomorrow.  We now have a couple of Unix workstations, and
the Unix differencing utility seems to be the best replacement (as soon
as I learn how to use it).  Although the VAX/VMS DIFF utility does a good
job of identifying differences, it adds a line number to each difference
line, often resulting in lines of more than 80 characters in length; not
a robust format for sending in e-mail across random network gateways.

As usual, there have been a number of updates to this mailing list since
the last time I sent a message directly, so if everyone receiving this
message could please acknowledge it, that will help keep the list in
good shape.

Addenda to TeX82.BUG as of 13 March 91

-------------
Note: When making change 376, I forgot to delete the redundant
code in module 883, and I should also have changed the name of that
module. These cosmetic changes (and some changes to the comments)
were made in version 3.14; but TeX 3.14 is functionally
equivalent to TeX 3.1 and only a tiny bit faster.

@x module 2
@d banner=='This is TeX, Version 3.14' {printed when \TeX\ starts}
@y
@d banner=='This is TeX, Version $\pi$' {printed when \TeX\ starts}

My last will and testament for TeX is that no further changes be made
under any circumstances. Improved systems should not be called simply `TeX';
that name, unqualified, should refer only to the program for which I have
taken personal responsibility.  -- Don Knuth

Addenda to MF84.BUG as of 13 March 91

My last will and testament for METAFONT is that no further changes be made
under any circumstances. Improved systems should not be called simply

I have taken personal responsibility.  -- Don Knuth

To anyone who has lived in a modern American city (except Boston)
at least one of the underlying ideas of ^{Descartes}' analytic geometry
will seem ridiculously evident. Yet, as remarked,
it took mathematicians all of two thousand years
to arrive at this simple thing.
