(This can typically be determined by inspecting the last component in the site name.) Overseas links tend to be slow and expensive. Choose the closest available site. Most sites discourage ftp'ing during normal business hours (local time). Major archive sites (and their administrators): ftp.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.8.13] (in CTAN) Computing Centre of the University of Stuttgart (RUS), Germany Time Zone: +0100 GMT, +0200GMT during summer Contact: Barbara Burr <infoadm@rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de> Rainer Schoepf <texinfo1@rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de> 350MB of TeX files.

NOTE! This is not an Internet FTP site! (The FTP site is called "TeX.ac.uk", started service since March, 92.) Aggresively tracks down packages for downloading. tex.ac.uk The ftp accessible site of uk.ac.tex (see above info). wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [192.88.110.20] White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, USA Time Zone: -0600 GMT Contact: w8sdz@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (Keith Petersen) Suggested hours: Weekends and evenings An archive of MS-DOS and other stuff.

(How's *that* for dedication!) uunet.uu.net Suggested hours: Normal business hours [NB!] Not a TeX archive site, but rather a general-purpose archive site. You can find comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.misc materials here. >>> Odds are good that if you want something, one of these sites <<< >>> has it. See also section [1c] and [3]. <<< [1b] Mirror sites. yallara.cs.rmit.oz.au [131.170.24.42] Mirrors labrea (for users Down Under) /pub/tex/labrea wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4] Mirrors wsmr-simtel20.army.mil. /mirrors/msdos [1c] How to find more sites The `archie' server contains file listings for hundreds of ftp sites. Telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca [132.206.2.3] and type `archie' when asked to log in. Then type `help'. (Currently, it still works!) OR, if your system has "archie", a program for querying archie anonymous ftp databases using Prospero. =========================================================================== [2] Mail servers for selected sites. When using mail servers, bear several points in mind. (a) Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure you aren't following server X's instructions when sending requests to server Y. Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches. (I know, I'm one such administrator.) (b) Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by ftp or other means. (c) Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server. niord.shsu.edu: via automatic FILESERV: include your email mesg to FILESERV@shsu.edu with sendme <subject> Questions go to: George D. Greenwade (bed_gdg@SHSU.BITNET) ftp.cs.ruu.nl: mail-server@cs.ruu.nl or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf Send the message begin path john@highbrow.edu (PLEASE SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS) send HELP end ftp.uni-stuttgart.de: mail-server@ftp.uni-stuttgart.de [last confirmed: 30 Sep 91] Same instructions as for ftp.cs.ruu.nl. ymir.claremont.edu: mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu To retrieve files from ymir via the mailserver, send a message to mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu with a line saying send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans "anonymous") and FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt". There is a list of files in each directory under the name 00files.txt Binary files are not available by this technique. uk.ac.tex: Login as username "public" and password "public". Then get the file [tex-archive]00readme.txt. Access via mail server: Send a message to texserver@tex.ac.uk The message body must contain at least the following three lines starting in column 1. atari.archive.umich.edu: atari@atari.archive.umich.edu Send the message "help" to receive instructions. hearn.bitnet (Nijmegen, The Netherlands): Send the message GET TEX-L FILELIST to LISTSERV@HEARN.BITNET DHDURZ1.BITNET: primary source for the VM/CMS implementation and several drivers for IBM printers. Send a message containing the following three lines to <LISTSERV@DHDURZ1.BITNET> HELP GET README FIRST TEX GET TEX FILELIST =========================================================================== [3] Systems for TeX and friends [3a] TeX for Unix boxes get unix version from CTAN's /tex-archive/systems/unix. e.g. ftp.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.8.13) See also [10] of PART II for other ftp sites for UNIX TeX package. Note that the site at university of washington has suspended the service due to the budget cut. (contact mackay@cs.washington.edu) [3b] TeX for IBM PC ------------------- The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon Radel. His catalog which is currently >= 40 pages long contains several versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG documents, etc. The physical distribution of the disks has been taken over by TUG. The catalog should be free for the asking. The final determination on prices for disks has not yet been determined, but for the moment, software is distributed on 5.25" 360K and 1.2M floppy disks. 3.5" disks are available by prior arrangement. There is a charge of $3.50/floppy in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico; $4.00/floppy elsewhere. Major sources of ftp sites are listed in part [1a] and [10]. particularly see DOSTeX, emTeX, emTeX386, Public TeX, SBTeX and related entries in [10]. [3c] TeX for Macintosh ----------------------- o Textures (lowercase 'x') [C]: A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a little to be desired, but with a good DA editors, that's not a big issue. If you buy it from the TeX Users Group, they will get the vendor royalty. TeX Users Group P.O. Box 9506 Providence, RI 02940-9506 Phone: 401-751-7760 The publisher is Blue Sky Research, 534 SW Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204. o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program. The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats). Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly. Available via anonymous ftp from: midway.uchicago.edu in pub/sources/OzTeX. watmsg.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.9) in pub/oztex. ymir.claremont.edu (goes without saying) o DirectTeX: runs under MPW (Apple's development system with a command line interface, making it look a bit UNIX-alike. It can be found on ftp.uni-stuttgart.de in the directory: pub/mac/tex/directtex Note that DirectTeX is ShareWare. x MacTeX: FTL is officially defunct, and MacTeX is no longer available. o CTeX: The web2c version ported to the Mac (under MPW). Available from ymir and midway. ? An ArborText representative posted the following: 535 W.

This part is not an attempt to list all sites exhaustively, but a guide for searching your desired style files potentially available in these resources. Your contributions and comments to this part are especially welcome. Notice that dmjones@theory.lcs.mit.edu (David M. Jones) has compiled a "TeX Index" for TeX styles. Contact him for more info if you cannot find the style you want from following sources.

E. Quin (lee@sq.sq.com) posted a digest document about available Metafont Fonts in comp.text.tex, on 3 May 92 03:48:55 GMT. Part II section [10] lists some of avail fonts for Metafont in PUBLIC DOMAIN. See also section [9] for relevant information along with Other-than-English TeX. CMTTSS package: includes the METAFONT source files for Arthur Ogawa's <ogawa@orion.arc.nasa.gov> family of fixed pitch, sans serif, condensed fonts. These fonts are provided in three weights (light, regular, and bold) and are based on cmbase and cmtt10. To retrieve the package, ftp Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.CMTTSS]. =============================================================================== [6] TeX-related mailing lists There are two basic classes of mailing lists. The UNIX-style one and the BITNET-style one. For UNIX-style mailing lists, send your add request to the address provided. A human being will respond. For BITNET-style mailing lists, send a message to the LISTSERV address provided containing the line SUB name-of-mailing-list your-name For example, SUB YUNUS Guoying Chen and a computer program will respond. You can tell the difference because the UNIX-style ones are just an address, while the BITNET-style ones have a name plus an address. cct-Digest: Good for those without net access. (thanks to bed_gdg@SHSU.edu (George D. Greenwade) ) Ctt-Digest includes posts made to comp.text.tex, excluding (a) posts which got there from INFO-TeX and (b) the periodicals which are carried on TeX-Pubs (TeXhax Digest, UKTeX Digest, the FAQ and FAQ Supplement, TeXMaG, and TUG's "TeX and TUG News"). The archives of the Digest are retained on Niord. For the most recent month are retained in [.COMP-TEXT-TEX]COMP-TEXT-TEX.yyyy-mm-dd; prior archives are in the ZIP files [.COMP-TEXT-TEX.00_COMPRESSED]yy-mm-dd.ZIP; indices for each month are in [.COMP-TEXT-TEX]COMP-TEXT-TEX.yyyy-mm-INDEX.

From this issue (June 1992), we summarize all info we have here: In standard Unix TeX distribution, it includes the babel package, a collection of various language fonts: Classical Greek, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Modern Icelandic, Cyrillic, Modern Turkish, German (Gothic/Fraktur). On host ymir.claremont.edu, you might be able to find more other langs under the directory LOCAL:[ANONYMOUS.TEX.BABEL].
