The quoted price includes the cost +of postage and packing. + +%We would like to extend this service to members. If you have contacts +%with the sales and marketing parts of any publisher who publishes +%relevant books, please inform us and we will try to +%arrange something mutually convenient and beneficial. + +We are only allowed to offer this service to \textbf{current} members +of the \UKTUG\ and/or members of \acro{TUG}. Please send your +order and cheque (in \acro{UK} \pounds) to Peter Abbott (address in +\BV\ masthead). +Make cheques payable to `\acro{UKTUG}' please. +Books from Addison-Wesley are delivered direct but books from +O'Reilly will be routed through \ukt. \emph{In all cases} please +notify Peter Abbott +by email, phone, fax or letter when books are delivered. + +\end{article} + +\title{Obtaining \TeX} +\author{edited by Carol Hewlett} +\begin{article} +\subsection*{From the network -- CTAN} + +The \acro{UK} \TeX\ Archive on \texttt{ftp.tex.ac.uk} is part of the +\acro{CTAN} +(Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network) collaborating network of +archives on the Internet organised by the +\TeX\ Users Group. +%The main archives follow the same structure +%and have identical files ({\tt ftp.tex.ac.uk} +%{\tt ftp.shsu.edu} +%and {\tt ftp.dante.de}). + +The \acro{CTAN} archives run an enhanced \emph{ftp} server which supports +dynamic compression, uncompression, and archive creation options. +Fetch the top-level file {\tt README.archive-features} for +information. The server also supports site-defined commands to assist +you.

This costs \pounds25 for 2 +\acro{CD}s, and is for \acro{DOS} users. + + +\subsection*{PC and Mac disks} +The \ukt\ distributes an em\TeX\ kit for \acro{PC}s, +and an Oz\TeX\ kit for Macintosh. The cost covers copying and postage +costs, together with the shareware fee for Oz\TeX\ (and other Mac programs) +and Eddi4\TeX. +Each set costs \pounds30, +and is available from Peter Abbott, 1 Eymore Close, Selly Oak, +Birmingham B29~4LB. Cheques must be payable to \lq{}UKTUG\rq{}. Please note +that this service \emph{is available to \ukt\ members only.} Each set +comes with an installation guide, and (at least) full \TeX\ and \MF, a +previewer, a PostScript driver, and \acro{CM} fonts. Two update disks a year +will be sent out automatically, with the current version of \LaTeXe, +and other goodies. A subscription service is available for +subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to 3 disks a +year with any material from the \acro{CTAN} archives, but this will be +supplied \lq{}as is\rq{}, without instructions. + +\subsection*{Atari} +Enquiries for \TeX\ for the Atari \acro{ST} etc. can be directed to: The Fast +Club, 7 Musters Road, Nottingham NG2 7PP.
