I tried building and running tpscript some time ago. There were some
problems during installation (the installation was set up for BSD install,
which is quite different from Sys V install) but those were minor. I also
hit a crash, which sounds like van Hout's problem, due to tpscript
attempting to set up more "built-in" fonts than provided for in this
version of ditroff. (It's a hard-coded limit of 10.) You can use as many
fonts as you desire, if you reference them by name; you just can't "mount"
them. Try reducing the number of fonts in DESC.
