You will have to undump Common TeX differently than Knuth's TeX. With Knuth's version you enter "\read 0 to \blort" (to virtex, after reading the format file), and make it dump core with a SIGQUIT at the "\blort=" prompt. This is not necessary with Common TeX. Instead, just give virtex a SIGQUIT at TeX's asterix-prompt. It will dump core all right, and the undumped TeX runs just fine. By the way. My undumped Common TeX executables is about 2Mb, opposed to old TeX's 860kb. It is not a problem, but I'd rather have them a bit smaller. Could I get them smaller by changing MIN_QUARTERWORD and MAX_QUARTERWORD. They are currently 0 resp. 255. It's on a VAX 785 running 4.3BSD. Thanks Rene' Seindal, DIKU, U. of Copenhagen.
