I installed TeX v3.14 obtained from anonymous ftp to byron.u.washington.edu
[128.95.48.32] in /pub/unixtex.  It is broken up into several smaller tar
files called TeX3.14.tar.Za[a-r] (18 files total)

I did have trouble compiling METAFONT using these tar files. Has anyone else
had trouble?  In particular the ./TeX3.14/Install_INPUTS file seems to be
searching for font directories in ../ which don't exist.  Also the `site.h'
has TEXINPUTS defined to be `.' by default while the other defaults seem to be
OK this one definitely needs to be modified.

Any comments on using these file to install TeX?
