I got my version of TeX and LaTeX from another user of the same
brand of equipment in the form of already ported binaries (the machine
is an Integrated Solutions 68020).  It installed easily and runs
wonderfully.  My only problem was that the BiBTeX directory was munged
(not a directory at all but a file).  So, I just downloaded the appropriate
files from su-score to be able to bring up BiBTeX.  Among other files
is bibtex.web.  Well, in the document (bibtex.ins) it talks about using
appropriate changefiles but I know nothing about this.  In fact, I know nothing
about web and have no access to documentation on it.  I also am
unfamiliar with pascal (is that 3 strikes yet?).  Anyway, I ran
tangle on bibtex.web and it worked fine.  But, pc does not like
the .p file at all (this is a 4.2BSD system).  It has problems with
the lines "writeln(tty" and "write(tty".  It says tty is undefined.
Now what do I do?  What should be put where tty is?  What should a
changefile look like?  How do I get BiBTeX running or is it hopeless?

Please e-mail me responses as this is probably not of interest to others.

Thanks in advance.
