Hubbard) jkh@violet.berkeley.edu, jkh@al.org, jkh@whisker.lotus.ie The current version of TeX is _3.141_ and the current version of METAFONT is 2.71. The source for both are in the packages web-5.851d and web2c-5.851d (the version number is the sum of TeX's and MF's version number), which you can find at any good TeX archive. If your TeX says something like this at startup: This is TeX 3.141 (D) ... then you have the latest version. If not, you can get the sources. It builds without any change and passes the trip and trap tests under Linux. Just type `configure'. See if the paths for fonts and macros in the makefile are to your liking. Then type `make trip-trap' to run the tests, and `make clean' and `make all' to make the final version. Sunando Sen
