I need some help with installing TeXsis. I'm working on 
an ordinary HP-UX 8.0 system, and I am trying to install
TeXsis as a non-superuser. I made the appropriate changes
to the Makefile, (including shifting the SHELL= line upwards,
because otherwise I would get an error message running make),
and then I tried to run make.

The problem is the following: when initex was called I got an
error message:

! I can't read tex.pool.
*** Error code 1.

This lead me to try and find the file tex.pool (which I found in
/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs and /usr/local/lib/tex/macros) and copy
it to my working directory, which is /usr3/andreas/tex/texsis.
After doing this, I ran make again, and then I got the message:

! tex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again.
*** Error code 1.

Well, first of all I haven't got a clue what initex might want from
tex.pool, second I don't know what tangle does (it exists in the same
directory as initex: /usr/local/texbin) and third, I don't know where
to get more information or help about these errors. So if someone 
could e-mail me a hint or THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION I would be very 
greatful. Thank you very much

Andreas
