+Subject: UK TeX Archive
+
+First, let me say how much I appreciate the "automatic zipping" feature
+of the UKTEX archive. However, I did run into a small problem today: I wanted
+to collect the latest version of "pstricks", so I found the directory and
+sent off for /pub/archive/graphics/pstricks.zip. It seemed to take a while
+to arrive, and was larger than I expected (over 960k). The reason was that
+inside the zip file was a file called "pstricks.tar.Z" which contained
+another copy of everything. Of course, I should have looked inside the
+directory and collected just that file - however it does seem an odd place to
+put it? I would have expected to find an archive of the pstricks directory
+(which when unpacked, creates the pstricks directory) to be in the same
+directory as pstricks (ie in /pub/archive/graphics), rather than in the
+pstricks directory itself! An alternative solution would be to modify the
+automatic zipper to ignore files in the top level which have the name
+DIR.tar.Z (or DIR.tar.z) where "DIR" is the directory name.
+

+this was a temporary artefact. i had been `mirroring' pstricks by
+hand, eg i copied the .tar.Z file and exploded it locally. in order to
+save myself work, i set up an automatic mirrir, which fetched pstricks
+in the way Zandt stores it (.tar.Z) and forgot to delete the exploded
+copy (which I have now done)
+
+if you see this situation again elsewhere, tell us, as it is not
+policy to store anything twice!
+
+i realize that for some people a tarred and Zed file is not easy to
+unpack. but the convenience of tracking the author's work
+automatically is so great that we have to ask for tolerance from
+archive users.

+Subject: emtex betatest
+
+Dear Texers
+
+ A couple of days ago I ftp the betatest of emtex386 for PC's
+this installed like a dream.
+However I have some problems with the betatest dvidrv_14s.
+
+I installed it as a replacement for my last version dvidrv_14d
+but it doesn't locate the fonts anymore.
+ I don't have the font libraries but a selection of fonts in directories
+like c:\texfonts\300\cmr10.pk etc etc.
+
+With the last driver I set the option /pfc:\texfonts\$r and all was well.
+This doen't appear to work with the current version any more
+I have read the manual and tried all sorts of configurations such as
+/pf=c:\texfonts\@Rrdpi\@f{.pxl,pk}
+ to no avail.
+
+I have also just got the dvips from the emtex bonus set. However GHOSTSCRIPT
+complains about any ps files created with this version. My old version was
+okay though I remember seeing something about this before but cannot
+remember what the solution was.
+
+Many thanks

+Subject: yet another arrangement of archive directory tree
+
+As of April 3rd, the UK TeX Archive (on uk.ac.tex and ftp.tex.ac.uk)
+has changed its structure for LaTeX, following the home site of
+Stuttgart. This differentiates strongly between the "official" LaTeX
+(distribs) and everything else (contrib). Within distribs, the "latex"
+tree is the current, complete LaTeX, and the Mainz packages are run in
+parallel to emphase their status as "nearly LaTeX".
+
+To make it clear what I mean, I append a pictorial diagram of the
+directory structure under macros/latex [.macros.latex]

+From: Niel Kempson <kempson@uk.ac.tex>
+Subject: Archive directory listings on Dad (Uk.Ac.TeX)
+
+I posted a message in UKTeX V93 #12 concerning the new format listing
+files generated every night on the Dad archive (UK.AC.TEX). The changes
+have now been implemented, subject to one modification. The listing
+files now generated are summarised below.
+
+In the top level [TEX-ARCHIVE] directory:
+
+ 00INDEX.FILES listing of all files in the archive
+
+ 00LAST7DAYS.FILES listing of all files added to the archive in
+ the last 30 days; most recent file listed
+ first
+
+ 00LAST30DAYS.FILES listing of all files added to the archive in
+ the last 7 days; most recent file listed
+ first
+
+ 00INDEX.ZIP_VVE
+ 00LAST7DAYS.ZIP_VVE
+ 00LAST30DAYS.ZIP_VVE VVencoded, Info-ZIP compressed versions of
+ the above files
+
+In every sub-directory:
+
+ 00FILES.TXT listing of all files in the subdirectory
+
+
+All of the 00* listing files are in a common format. Here's an extract
+from [TEX-ARCHIVE]00INDEX.FILES:
+
+> Files matching DISK$TEX:[TEX-ARCHIVE]*.*
+> (listing updated: 5-Apr-93 04:20).
+>
+> Last change Size Type File specification
+> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+> ...
+> 5-Apr-93 04:06 2537672 txt [tex-archive]00index.files
+> 5-Apr-93 04:18 400540 txt [tex-archive]00index.zip_vve
+> 5-Apr-93 03:19 364148 txt [tex-archive]00last7days.files
+> 5-Apr-93 03:21 59622 txt [tex-archive]00last7days.zip_vve

+> 5-Apr-93 02:31 251108 txt [tex-archive]00last30days.zip_vve
+> ...
+> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In addition, each of the *.FILES in the [TEX-ARCHIVE] directory will be
+also be available in VVencoded ZIP format (e.g. 00INDEX.ZIP_VVE). To
+unpack these files, you will need implementations of VVdecode and
+Info-unZIP for your systems. The *.ZIP_VVE files are around 15% of
+the size of the original *.FILES, so it's probably worth the effort.
+
+Here's a relevant extract from one of nine (!) messages sent by Sebastian
+Rahtz to UKTeX V93 #13:
+
+> b) because of the needs of JANET file transfer users, all binary
+> files (includes font metrics, PKs etc) are stored *encoded* on
+> Dad, using the VVCODE program. You need a copy of vvdecode to
+> unpack them. See [.archive-tools.vvcode.binaries] for your poison
+> (sorry, not for Macs yet. on its way).
+>
+> c) The archiving method of choice in the archive is the public domain
+> ZIP. This is compatible with PKZIP 2.x, but *not* with the older
+> (and very common) pkzip 1.x. You *must* upgrade your unzipper soon
+> to take advantage of things

+
+ TUG'93 News Update
+
+ The committee of the TUG'93 conference would like to bring you up to date
+with plans for this summer's big TEX jamboree at Aston. Booking forms were
+mailed to all TUG members in mid March, and are now being sent to other user
+groups. Readers with Internet access who have not received a form can fetch it
+using ftp from directory pub/tug93 on ftp.tex.ac.uk.
+
+ The five magnificent days of TEX conference will include:
+
+ - A first day introducing TEX to newcomers; bring your partner and get
+ them to learn your obsession!
+
+ - A day on typography and design, in conjunction with the DIDOT project.
+
+ - A detailed workshop on LaTEX3.
+
+ - A session on language and font issues.
+
+ - A session on TEX standards and the future developments of TEX and
+ related software.
+
+ - Discussions of TEX archives.
+
+ - A `problem-solving' panel.
+
+ - Birds-of-a-feather groups.
+
+Invited speakers include Christina Thiele, the TUG president, the President
+of the German TEX User Group, DANTE, and Boguslav Jackowski, the winner
+of the `best paper' award at recent conferences in Prague and Karlsruhe.
+
+Some highlights from the accepted papers by speakers from around the world
+are:
+
+ - The Khmer Script tamed by the Lion (of TEX): Yannis Haralambous
+
+ - Virtual fonts in a production environment: Michael Doob & Craig Platt
+
+ - Readability of math typesetting: David Murphy
+
+ - Russian TEX issues; Looking about and outlook: Irina A Makhovaya
+
+ - Beginners Guide to DSSSL: Martin Bryan
+
+ - A PostScript font installer written in TEX: Alan Jeffrey
+
+ - A versatile TEX device driver: Minato Kawaguti
+
+ - Typesetting Catalan texts with TEX: Gabriel Valiente Feruglio
+
+ - Bibliography Prettyprinting and Syntax Checking: Nelson Beebe
+
+ - Syntactic Sugar: Kees van der Laan
+
+ And we remind you that there is a full week of varied TEX courses
+ both before and after the conference proper, of which full details
+ can be found on the booking form.
+
+Socially, we can promise delegates that there will be no dull moments
+at TUG'93, with
+
+ - A half-day trip to Shakespeare country, ending with a performance of King
+ Lear by the Royal Shakespeare Company
+
+ - Evening trips to visit a Chocolate Experience or take part in a bowling
+ tournament
+
+ - A TEX-related competition with prizes
+
+ - Receptions and banquets
+
+ - The TEX Users Group annual general meeting
+
+Do not forget, booking forms returned by May 15th can save 15$ ($22.00),
+and guarantee a place on the trip to Stratford-upon-Avon.
+
+The first draft programme, with names and and titles of all speakers, will
+be issued towards the end of April, and will be circulated widely on networks
+and by electronic mail.
