+Use anonymous ftp to any of the CTAN hosts (ftp.tex.ac.uk in the UK) and
+the sources are available in tools/stuffit/ in its TeX archive area. To
+the best of my knowledge, we do not presently have an executable for this
+available in the CTAN.

+Subject: oztex 1.6
+
+can ayone help?
+I have just loaded Oztex 1.6 on my mac. In the past, using 1.4, I have used
+some AMS fonts. This has worked by putting the appropriate tfm files in the
+Latex font folder. An equivalent trick does not seem to work. I just get
+the fonts can't be loaded!!!

+Subject: DVIPS under MSDOS
+
+We have been using METAFONT to produce figures (e.g. graphs of functions)
+and this works fine up to a point. The problem comes when using DVIPS to
+create a Postscript file for printing. Unfortunately,
+under MSDOS, DVIPS gives then error message
+
+Cannot allocate more than 64K!
+
+when it tries to convert any file with such `graphical' fonts---presumably
+it is because each character is too large.
+
+There are good reasons why we want to create Postscript rather than any
+other format (e.g. for a HP laserjet) and we are stuck with MSDOS. Can
+anybody suggest any remedies in terms of alternative DVI to PS converters
+which do not have the memory allocation restiction, or ways to work round the
+problem using DVIPS (which is otherwise excellent).
+
+Thanks
