I attempted to install the version of TeX included in NeXTStep release
2.0 extended, using the Install_Tex program acting on TeXdist.tar.Z.

The installation proceeded just about O.K., all the binaries apparently
being installed.  Unfortunately, there was a checksum error detected
during the tar extract process and this I believe has led to some files,
in particular the document files, not being installed correctly.

Is there a known problem with TeXdist.tar.Z ?

It seems more likely that I have managed to corrupt the file - is there
a way of getting a fresh version of TeXdist.tar.Z?

I have looked at the FAQ and on some archive sites but didn't find
anything.  I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks,

Mike Page, spxmpap@thor.cardiff.ac.uk
