The following csh script was being run:

#!/bin/csh
#
# Makes .ps files from all the .tex files in the directory
# using latex and dvi2ps
#

foreach file (*.tex)
   latex $file
   set base=$file:r
   dvi2ps -r $base.dvi >! $base.ps
   /bin/rm $base.dvi $base.aux $base.log
end


Most of the files worked fine.  On the last one (lesson9) it died.  Here's
an example of one that worked and the one that didn't:

This is TeX, C Version 3.0
(lesson8.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 <4 Aug 1988>
Prepared for MIT Project Athena. (/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros/article.sty
Document Style `article' <16 Mar 88>.
(/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros/art10.sty))
No file lesson8.aux.
[1] (lesson8.aux) )
Output written on lesson8.dvi (1 page, 1820 bytes).

end: Not in while/foreach.
