+
+The ID is PUBLIC and the password PUBLIC
+
+For each set of software an index file has been created with the name
+
+ 000index.list
+
+and is stored in the top directory of the set of software. Each set of
+software is stored below PUBLIC and where relevant in further sub
+directories.
+
+I have a copy of VMS_SHAR and am awaiting a suitable SHAR for `UNIX'. I can
+also create `TAR' files for FTP but at present the TRANSFER/BINARY fails
+(DEC have been notified).
+
+Further items are always welcome.

+
+
+PSFIGTEX
+========
+
+PSfigTeX is a set of TeX macros to make it easy to include PostScript (and
+Macintosh) figures inside a TeX document. It was written by Trevor Darrell
+at the University of Pennsylvania, who retains copyright. See the file
+COPYRIGHT for details. It arrived as a set of SHAR files, and again, the
+structure here is the same as that to be found in the SHAR files.
+
+ Features:
+ Simple, clean interface
+ Psfig automatically positions the figure at the current pen position
+ Figures can be scaled easily
+ Implemented as a TeX macro package; has been brought up under unix,
+ VMS and OS4000. (Please contact HINES@UK.AC.DARESBURY.MAIL for
+ the OS4000 version)
+
+PSFIGTEX files aston.kirk::[public.psfigtex]000index.list
+
+This file contains a directory listing (including subdirectories) with
+each file listed and its size. The user need not adhere to the directory
+structure, it has been used to make maintenance easier.
+
+
+
+LATEXSTYLE
+==========
+
+This group is the LaTeX Style collection based on TuGboat Volume 8 No 2. The
+`shar' files are included in the directory and will eventually be also
+provided in subdirectories once I can overcome the problem of the limitation
+of VAX/VMS and files which have a non numeric third part to the name.
+
+LATEXSTYLE files aston.kirk::[public.latexstyle]000index.list
+
+CRUDETYPE
+=========
+

+
+PAVEL
+=====
+
+This group was contributed by John Pavel and some material is duplicated
+elsewhere in the archive. These duplications will be removed as time permits.
+The subdirectory structure is I hope self explanatory and is attached here.
+There are a lot of files and we hope to provide batching facilities in the
+future.
