Thanks to the +efforts of Peter Abbott at Aston University, these files are +available in the UK, and can be obtained by anyone who +can plug into their VAX. This certainly covers all those +with access to {\sc janet}, and probably covers {\sc uucp} +people too. An access method for VAX users was given in +Sebastian Rahtz' ``Bits of \hax'' article. + +Of course, not all the world is using {\it email}. But for the dispossessed +among us, it is possible to obtain the style files +on 5\frac1/4 floppy from + David Hopper of Toronto, Canada who is offering copies of the style + collection on diskettes. David is + doing this in his own time as a favour to the \TeX\ community. The entire + set of style files, not including the C-\TeX\ files, as of June 1st, fits + on one 1.2 MB diskette or three 360KB diskettes. No subsetting, + please. Send David: + formatted diskettes; + indication of the format required; + a self-addressed mailer; and +a \$5.00 donation per set of files, to cover postage and equipment wear + \& tear. (If you live outside North America, airmail delivery will probably + require more postage. Contact David for details.) + David's address: +{\obeylines\parindent2em + David W. Hopper, + 446 Main Street, + Toronto, Ontario, + Canada M4C 4Y2 +} +\noindent +Since this seemed rather roundabout to me, I have copied all the +files (including C-\TeX) to 5\frac1/4 +{\sc ms-dos} floppy and 3\frac1/2 Macintosh diskette +for distribution in the UK. I cannot obtain 3 floppies for \$5 Canadian +(about \quid3.00), +so my prices are higher. I can distribute the style files +for \quid10.00 per 5 5\frac1/4 inch + or \quid7.50 for 3 +3\frac1/2 inch diskettes. For some reason, my copying +was less compact than David's. I may investigate +one of the public domain compression utilities, in +order to cut the cost. +C-\TeX\ has been separated out from the style files, +and is available on 4 5\frac1/4 inch floppies, in +{\sc backup/restore} format. I have stored them in this way +to retain the directory structure so that the extra +files which come with C-\TeX\ make sense. I have not yet +put the C-\TeX\ files onto Macintosh format, but if there is a requirement +I can do this too. + +The list given below is slightly out of date, and there have been +some additions. The most noticeable change is with the +TeXtyl files, which have been slightly reorganised, and +include {\sc unix} and VMS versions. +John Renner, a former student of John Gourlay's, now at Adobe, wrote +TeXtyl to allow \TeX\ users to draw lines and curves in +their documents. It is actually a postprocessor: \TeX\ is run on an +input file containing |\special|s which define a drawing, and then +TeXtyl is run on the |dvi| file to obtain a new |dvi| + file in which the |\special|s +are replaced with |dvi| commands to print the lines and curves by +piecing together small characters from special fonts. + +However, if you want any +these files, you have to take the lot. Like David Hopper, I +do not intend to subdivide. I will try to keep the files +``current'', and emulating Maria Code, to obtain an update, you +have to take the entire set again. +\goodbreak{\rmnine\baselineskip=9pt + \settabs + \+ aaai-instructions.tex\quad&nopagenumbers.doc\quad&ucthesi \cr + \+ 00directory&format.sty&slem.doc \cr + \+ 00index&fullpage.doc&slem.sty \cr + \+ 00readme&fullpage.sty&spacecites.doc \cr + \+ a4.sty&geophysics.sty&spacecites.sty \cr + \+ a4wide.sty&german.sty&suthesis.doc \cr + \+ aaai-instructions.tex&ieeetr.bst&suthesis.sty \cr + \+ aaai-named.bst&ist21.sty&texindex.doc \cr + \+ aaai.sty&latex.bug&texindex.pas \cr + \+ acm.bst&layout.readme&texindex.sty \cr + \+ agugrl.sample&layout.tex&texnames.doc \cr + \+ agugrl.sty&lcustom.tex&texnames.sty \cr + \+ agujgr.sample&lfonts\_ams.readme&textyl.readme \cr + \+ agujgr.sty&lfonts\_ams.tex&textyl.shar1 \cr + \+ amssymbols.sty&lgraph.shar&textyl.shar2 \cr + \+ art10.txt&local.suppl&textyl.shar3 \cr + \+ art11.txt&memo.sty&textyl.shar4 \cr + \+ art12.txt&mfr.sty&textyl.shar5 \cr + \+ article.txt&mitthesis.sample&textyl.shar6 \cr + \+ biihead.sty&mitthesis.sty&textyl.shar7 \cr + \+ ctex.readme&natsci.bst&textyl.shar8 \cr + \+ ctex.shar1&newalpha.bst&textyl.shar9 \cr + \+ ctex.shar2&nopagenumbers.doc&tgrind.sty \cr + \+ ctex.shar3&nopagenumbers.sty&threepart.sty \cr + \+ ctex.shar4&remark.sty&titlepage.txt \cr + \+ ctex.shar5&resume.sample&trademark.sty \cr + \+ ctex.shar6&resume.sty&uct10.doc \cr + \+ cyrillic.sty&sc21-wg1.sty&uct11.doc \cr + \+ dayofweek.tex&sc21.sty&uct12.doc \cr + \+ deproc.sty&sfwmac.sty&ucthesis.doc \cr + \+ deprocldc.tex&showlabels.sty&ucthesis.readme \cr + \+ docsty.c&siam.bib&uuencode.shar \cr + \+ docsty.readme&siam.bst&vdm.doc \cr + \+ doublespace.sty&siam.doc&vdm.sty \cr + \+ draft.sty&siam.sty&vdm.tex \cr + \+ drafthead.sty&siam.tex&ws87.p \cr + \+ dvidoc.shar1&siam10.doc&wsltex.c \cr + \+ dvidoc.shar2&siam10.sty&wsltex.p \cr + \+ epic.shar1&siam11.sty&xxxcustom.tex \cr + \+ epic.shar2&siam12.sty&xxxslides.sty \cr} + + +\rightline{\sl Malcolm Clark} |
