	I do have TeX and dvi2ps, others compiled, but it was a frustrating
experience.  The README's "sort of" point at each other, you end up making
directories that the Makefiles don't, and so on.

	So, next chance, I'm going to rip it up and install everything
from scratch...  I should note that compiling X11R3, R4, and R5 was
quite a bit easier, and I've handled quite a number of other non-trivial
installations.

	Has anyone made a file of notes of problems they encountered when
installing TeX?  May I have you email it to me?

	There's some sort of secret "I made it through TeX installation"
society, right? :-)
