Subject: Thanks for everybody's help, on my TeX installation
Hi,
I would like to thank the following kind individuals who took the time to
email me about my problem for TeX installation on Sun with openwindows:
Peter Dyballa
Thomas Schertler
Stetson Skoglund
Robert Lopez
Mr. Volker
K. Berry
Chet Creider
You all had the same solution. I was extremely amazed and thankful that you
guys took the time to respond. I followed your advice and TeX installed
error free. But up on running LaTeX I got the error
This is TeX, Version 3.1415 (C version 6.1)
I can't find the default format file!
seemed like it could not find the file because it did not know where to
look, so I gave setenv commands in texmf.cnf to my .cshrc file and sourced
it. Then it knew where to look, but there was no latex.fmt, so I brought
one from a SunOS 4.1.3 machine in Princeton (where I still have an account)
and latex finally worked. But dvips does not work and gives an error like:
Prompmt$ dvips -o ncstate.cover.ps ncstate.cover.dvi

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help? Please forgive
me if I am taking too much of your time. You see, I am a physicist and worse
than that, an experimental physicist:-)
Thanks again for your help.
