What is the status of version 3.0 of TeX?  The README file in ~ftp/pub/tex at
labrea.stanford.edu has the following notice:

>----------------------------------------
>     *** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***
>
>TeX, Metafont, etc. were modified in the fall of 1989, and the new
>versions of various files are available here.  The update process is
>not yet complete, however.  It will be complete when
>  - TeX version 3.0 is released (currently it is at version 2.993)
>  - new web2c change files are written
>  - a new Unix TeX distribution containing TeX 3.0 is prepared
>Until then, the files here will not all be consistent, so you should
>not try to merge files from the Stanford source directories, the Unix
>TeX distribution, or the web2c distribution unless you are prepared to
>spend some time fixing incompatibilities.
>
>----------------------------------------

I want to upgrade all of the TeX stuff for which I am responsible, but am
dependent upon web2c, as we have no access to a pascal compiler.

Any help will be much appreciated.  I have no preference on responses (i.e.
via email or posting):  I will post any email which is especially helpful.

Thanks much.
