I recently obtained a copy of the Washington TeX release tape, and have been
busily building it up on a Sun 2/120 running version 3.2 of Sun's OS. For the
most part, things have gone well.... HOWEVER ... I'm using various Imagen
printers, and am using Chris Torek's "iptex/imagen1" output driver to send
the files, and have not yet had much luck avoiding the "tfm and pxl files
have different checksums" messages. Since I'm the resident TeX maintainer,
I could use a little help solving this detail.
Also, if there's a relatively easy fix to allow the driver to accept the
invisible fonts needed for SliTeX, I'd like information about that.

In addition, METAFONT doesn't seem to quite understand that "showit" should
display SOMETHING on the Sun's console. ... or am I not understanding what
Knuth wrote in chapter 5 of the METAFONTbook?

This is mostly an "unnofficial", unsanctioned effort on my part to get TeX
and all of it's pieces working here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I have contacted TUG, and expect to join. And I'm reading and re-reading
the books and all the README's that are on the tape. This has been a little
longer than I originally intended. ... Please respond by e-mail if my path(s)
work, or call me on the phone if all else fails.
Thanks much.
