I finally got around to ftp'ing the TeX version 3.14 and Metafont 2.7
from byron.u.washington.edu and am in dire need of assistance from the 
net. I naively underestimated the complexity of installing TeX products
and my only excuse is that I did not do the original installation on 
our site. I am trying to update from TeX 3.0 and MF 2.0. I managed to 
read all of the documentation, edit the makefile and site.mf files and
even got everything to compile. Once completed I noted several differences
between the old and new versions like tex and latex appear to be hard 
links to the same file that figures out which format file to use based 
on the command line (tex fname will use tex.fmt (linked to plain.fmt),
latex fname will use lplain3.fmt, etc.) To make a long story short, 
tex works but metafont barfs. Since I wanted to test both programs, I did
not install any pk files (only tfm's) and after successfully tex'ing and
latex'ing sample files, I then invoked dvips which calls the MakeTeXPK 
script to make any fonts for which pk files are not found. Anyway, 
even though the only font needed in the sample file is cmr10.300pk, 
metafont complains about the input files. Specifically, it chokes on
roman.mf stating that "no end of statement" or some such trash. 

Thank God I did not delete the old version or I would have several
grad students here trying to graduate without any way to get their 
dissertations complete and I would be in no shape to type this plea!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Regards,

  James
