i've made a slight update to the TeX package in SLS:
1) /pub/linux/SLS/t1/texman.taz - mostly std Unix manpages now
2) /pub/linux/SLS/t1/texbin.taz
a) mf binary now defaults to reading /usr/TeX/lib/mf/macros
AND its subdirectories
b) xdvi is now Karl Berry's version..the main change from
Paul Volta's src is that it can do subdirectory searches.
It uses std Tex environmentals if u dont like the default
(/usr/Tex/lib/tex/fonts//)
c) texbin.taz has a /usr/X386/bin/xdvi which is just a symlink
to /usr/TeX/bin/xdvi
hopefully, these changes will fix the problems people have had from
1) not reading the docs or 2) having XDVIFONTS erroneously set from
somewhere (the TeX package, ie t1-t5 in the SLS package, never sets it)
mf and xdvi compiled with gcc 2.2.2d7 , c libs 4.1 and x libs 2.1
xdvi tested on a file with 401 fonts on my system (kernel 0.98p5)
