Hi,
we have a new (and hopefully final) release candidate for 1.10a;
this includes a fix from Fabrice which handles the inclusion of
many pdfs better (you shouldn't get a "too many open files" error
anymore except in some bizarre situations).

Please give this one a spin.

Best regards
    Martin

I've put web2c 7.4.1 sources up on tug.org in ~ftp/tex.  Thus they'll
appear on CTAN in due course(?)

The sources contains a preliminary version of pdftex.  Basically, it's
been taken from the source.development tree, and neither usability nor
stability are guaranteed.

Omega 1.23.2 as in these tarballs is what John Plaice tells me to
release.

These sources are especially meant to allow Thomas and Fabrice and me
to sync up with each other, and may be of limited interest to anyone
else.  However, the only changes I intend to apply at this point are

- bundle pdftex 1.10a once it released.
- add the windows-specific code calling mktex

Thomas, if you can do without the windows bits, then I think the
non-pdftex parts should be good to go.



If, for some reason, you want the sources NOW and cannot log into
tug.org, use the following links.

Otherwise use these:

ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c-7.4.1-omega-1.23.2.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c-7.4.1-pdftex-3.14159-1.10a-RC3.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c-7.4.1-pdftexlibs.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c-7.4.1.tar.gz



Changes to 7.4.0 are some fixed to the fork/exec code path, and a fix
for the fact that cweave would hang (my error).
