I'm not certain of this, but from my limited experience with the
Emulation-modified math libs, at least with most programs, maybe all,
maybe not, they are automagically loaded from the /usr/lib when a program
is run, rather than being stored in the program's binary.  Installing the
modified library files should be enough to make it run, and if that
doesn't work... if I knew where the source code was, I'd stick one in
contrib (it looks like my account has control over the tex directory),
compiled on my IIsi with FPE.  Poking around with archie has just yielded
more confusion.  Is this the same TeX that I see binaries for in the linux
distributions?  Would the source be lying around there, too?  I'll try
there first.

Ideas, information, anyone?
