Project `latex-tds' also provides a module `knuth' with
PDF documentation files including bookmarks and links:

    CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/latex-tds/knuth.tds.zip

Perhaps Karl has forgotten to install it?

Currently the `.web' files are sorted into TDS:source/knuth//
However, there they cannot be found, because the search path
in texmf.cnf is;

WEBINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/web//

I have now changed the installation directories in module `knuth'
and put the `.web' files below TDS:web/knuth//. Now
tangle should find `tex.web' and the other `.web' files.

A new release of `latex-tds' is anyway scheduled for this afternoon
(some minor changes in LaTeX2e/base and tools).

Can you check the module `knuth', please?

The paths are now correct? Nothing missing?
