I do not have access to FTP but some kind soul already got the
above for me. I am having trouble getting CTeX to run. First of all,
it does not echo anything to the console; all goes to a file called
TEXPUT.LOG. So I never know if it's asking me a question. Here's the
output produced:
This is Common TeX, Version 2.9 (preloaded format=lplain 88.10.15) 0 ^L^@^C 2028 00:00
**&LPLAIN A:/SAMPLE.TEX
! Emergency stop.
<*> &LPLAIN A:/SAMPLE.TEX
! End of file on the terminal
No pages of output.
If anyone has any suggestions I would sure appreciate them,
posted or e-mailed. It seems that the version I have comes from
Jwahar R. Bammi by way of Howard Chu. Here's the arc listing (are the
zoo-ized versions more recent?):
