Yes, you were right.  The missing period was the problem.  Now  
everything works perfectly.  My original sample file was

=================================
\font\tentimes=ptmr8r at 10pt
\font\seventimes=ptmr8r at 7pt
\font\fivetimes=ptmr8r at 5.5pt

\textfont0=\tentimes
\scriptfont0=\seventimes
\scriptscriptfont0=\fivetimes
\def\rm{\fam0\tentimes}
\rm

% Input the MathTimeProfessional macro package
\input mtp2

Enter text and math ... $x+ y = z 123$

\bye
=================================

This compiled perfectly with XeTeX but failed with TeX.  Thanks to  
you, it (and everything else) now works with pdf(La)Tex too.

Thanks again.
Vijay
