Hello NetUSA,

I'm fairly new to installing TeX so in my effort to install a working
version of TeX--XeT, I've run into some problems and don't know the
solution.  Here's what I did:

    1. ran "tangle tex.web tex--xet.ch" on TeX v3.141 with no problems;
       tex.p was produced with no errors.

    2. since we didn't have a running version of web2c, I compiled web2c-5.0c
       and tried to run web2c in the same fashion as given in
       web2c/tex/convert:

            #!/bin/sh
            # Convert TeX to C.
            #

            cat tex.defines tex.p \
                | ../web2c/web2c -t \
                | ../web2c/fixwrites -t \
                | ../web2c/regfix \
                | ../web2c/splitup

            cat coerce.h fixcoerce.h > xcoerce.h
            mv xcoerce.h coerce.h

       but web2c burps with a syntax error and quits:

             syntax error
            Last token = 299, error buffer = `alphafile',
                last id = `alphafile' (type).

       The type declaration in tex.p is:

            alphafile=packed file of char;

Perhaps this sounds like a trivial question, but I'm stymied.  Any
suggestions?

    Thanks, Andy Biewer
