Please send your order +and cheque (in \acro{UK} \pounds) to Peter Abbott. Make cheques +payable to `\acro{UKTUG}' please. All books will be routed through +\ukt. \emph{In all cases} please notify Peter Abbott by email, phone, +fax or letter when books are delivered. This means that provided the +book(s) are in stock, it will normally take at least a week from +receipt of order to delivery of the book(s). + +\section{Obtaining \TeX\ from 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 \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. Please read {\tt README.site-commands} for a brief overview. + +For interfaces and catalogues of CTAN, you are referred to Graham +Williams' \emph{\TeX{} and \LaTeX{} Catalogue} which is available from +\acro{CTAN} as \path|help/Catalogue/catalogue.html|; other interfaces +are listed in \url{http://www.tug.org/interest.html}. + +Please report any problems with \acro{CTAN} archives via email to +\texttt{ctan@urz.Uni-Heidelberg.de}. + + +\subsection{Obtaining \TeX\ on CD-ROM} +\ukt, in collaboration with \acro{GUT}enberg, \acro{TUG}, +\acro{NTG} and \acro{DANTE}, have produced \TeX{} Live, a plug-and-play +\acro{CD}-\acro{ROM} for Unix, Amiga and Windows based on the Web2c +\TeX{} setup. As it is formatted according to \acro{ISO} 9660, the +platform-independent files can, in principle, be read on all operating +systems which can deal with that format, or Microsoft Joliet extensions. +The \acro{CD} is available free of charge to members of \ukt\ and to +non-members at \pounds2. + +Complete DOS, Windows 32 and Macintosh implementations are also +available as packages on the \acro{CD}; floppy disk sets will now be +supplied only on special request. + +\section{Future meetings of \ukt} +The next meeting for members of \ukt{} will be in Oxford, on Monday +18th May. The title is \textit{Multiple use of +digital documents}. It will discuss some of the problems and opportunities +involved in using the same source file for several purposes. We hope +to go from the everyday and mundane, namely the production of journals +and books from author supplied compuscripts, to the advanced and +esoteric, namely using \TeX{} as an adjunct to electronic publishing. +We also hope to take in technical documentation along the way. + +Plans are also afoot for the meeting associated to the AGM. This + will be in Cambridge, on Monday 21 September. The title is +\textit{\TeX{} in its diversity}. If you have done something with +\TeX{} that you think others might be interested in hearing about, +please let the organisers know, because they are looking for +speakers. In addition, if there is sufficient interest, workshops +and training will be organised for the next day. + +Finally, both in Oxford and Cambridge there are tentative plans to +hold a least a trial local meeting for \TeX{} users. If you are +interested please contact Kim Roberts or Jonathan Fine respectively. + +The May meeting is being organised by Kim Roberts, Roy Everett and +Jonathan Fine. The September meeting is being organised by Robin +Fairbairns, Martyn Johnson and Jonathan Fine . For further information +please contact one of these people, or visit the \ukt{} Web site. In +addition, with this issue there should be some flyers. + +\end{Article} |
