Hi. I'm trying to install TeX 2.95 on an IBM RT running AIX 2.2.1 (Sys 5).  
During the execution of the line:
	
	../texware/tangle tex.web ctex.ch

I get the error:

	! Value too big: 2550000.  (1.3151)

It appears (although I could be wrong) that this line in tex.web is the culprit:

	@d eject_penalty=-inf_penalty {``negatively infinite'' penalty value}

I'm not compiling with the BIG patch.  Any comments, hints, suggestions, 
solutions would be GREATLY appreciated!
