	Hmm.  The last time I got involved with the TeX 
	world, I spend 4+ months with it; then it was never 
	100%.

	Is there any porting tutorial that lists the necessary
	steps, (1), (2), (3).... (n-1) that will get things
	built?  I tried several months ago (March), and quit
	when the installation bombed...
