Help! I'm been fighting to get Metafont running on this UNIX V/386
box for some time and maybe somebody can help. Basically, I'm using
web2c and am able to get mf.web to convert fine using the C version
of tangle to mf.p but can't get any further. The convert script
(actually web2c) complains about syntax errors but when I look
at the file it looks great. The samething happens when building 
TeX.

I've tried two differet versions of web2c with no luck. Any suggestions?
I'd also be happy to take a binary copy of metafont off somebody's hands
if all else fails.
