Leo, I have ftp'ed the TEX and MF sources from PARC and used them to
replace what I had here at SAIL. From now on I'll try to maintain valid
sources for both SAIL and PARC in [tex,dek] and [mf,dek].

But the file "MFFIL.SAI" couldn't be found by the ftp server. Is it not
on [maxc1]<sp>?
Another file that is PARC-required (in MFRAST) is "ADIS.SAI". I tried to
bring it over, but the ftp server couldn't find this one either.


Why do the following lines appear in MFHDR?
IFSUAI define DEBUGONLY = ⊂comment⊃ # changed to ⊂⊃ when debugging METAFONT; ENDSUAI
IFPARC define DEBUGONLY = ⊂⊃ # changed to ⊂⊃ when debugging METAFONT; ENDPARC


I made one change, that I hope you agree with: I changed the name of
your TEXOUT.SAI file to TEXPRS.SAI. Then in TEXSYS the appropriate line is

require IFPARC "TEXPRS.REL" elsec "TEXOUT.REL" ENDPARC load_module;

Similarly, this line belongs in TEXPRE. (And similarly in MFSYS and MFPRE,
where the file is MFPRS.)
I had to move up the line that requires TEXHDR, in order to make this work.

The reason, of course, is that this avoids the necessary of renaming files
if we ever want to compile a PARC version here for some reason.


As far as I know, TEX is still working "perfectly". But I had to fix three
bugs in METAFONT: one simple one in MFNTRP (interchanging two lines of
code on page 15, the statement "spen;" didn't work right) and two slightly
more complex ones in MFRAST (procedures setuppen and penadj had a bit of
trouble with spens and epens).
