I'll post this here in case anyone else had my problem.  By the way,
I recompiled and then everything worked fine. - Tom

>Subject: TeX undump problems

The binaries on the distribution are SUN2 binaries created before the emergence
of the SUN 3.n operating system.  There is no way they will be handled by any
version of undump, since the a.out format is bound to be inappropriate for
a SUN OS 3.n system.  I have left those old binaries there for the poor souls
who are still stuck with earlier operating systems, on the assumption that
any SUN OS 3.n system could successfully recompile.  I really can't
advise anything else.  You must have a boot tape for some version of
3.n somewhere.  The PASCAL stuff is on reel two of a 9 track tape, I think,
and on tape 3 of a 1/4 inch tape.  It is tar format, so all you need
is to skip in to whichever file is the pascall and extract it.  

It would, I suppose, be possible to hack an undump so that SUN2 O.S(<3) would
work on an O.S 3.n system, but it hasn't been done, to my knowledge.  I
would strongly advise recompilation.   Version (<3) a.out simply does not
match the core dumps produced by a Version (>=3) system, and the mismatch
is quite extensive.
