-Here are some things left to do. If you would like to contribute, send
-mail to me (olaf@infovore.xs4all.nl) first.
-
-* Use binary mode for all files (but do obey end-of-line conventions for
- the specific platforms.
-
-* Give TeX more options:
- output filename:lineno: msg on error
- change prompt from `\n*' (for simpler cut-and-paste)
-
-* Have bibtex -verbose print full pathnames.
-
-* Make TeX--XeT a configure-time or runtime option?
-
-* Deal with the configure tests that prevent cross-compilation:
- - Remove use of schar (in dvicopy, mf, pktogf, and tangle).
- - Learn endianness at runtime, include both Big and LittleEndian
- versions in code, call appropriate one.
- - Figure out what to do about the sizeof long test.
-
-* Reallocate memory arrays as needed instead of just allocating once at
- the beginning.
-
-* Possibly use spiff when doing the triptrap comparisons, so acceptable
- differences can be eliminated.
-
-* Make web2c handle fields correctly, i.e., to put the field identifier
- in the symbol table of the type, instead of the global symbol table.
- This would simplify the GFtoDVI change file a fair amount.
-
-* Make web2c handle variant records. This would make the TeX, Metafont,
- and GFtoDVI change files all simpler.
-
-* Implement overflow checking for adding and subtracting dimensions.
- According to Knuth "a few dozen checks" would be needed (section 104).
- Knuth calls the chances of it occuring unlikely, but unfortunately you
- will get a bad DVI file when it does. The following source demonstrates
- the problem.
