+Subject: Wish to download EMTEX for MS-DOS
+
+ We had earlier used EMTEX and were conversant with it. We lost
+the files in a disk crash. We therefore need to get a copy of EMTEX
+for MS-DOS. we are not experts in ftp, file down load, etc.
+we know how to login via ftp. We accessed tex.ac.uk but
+could not make out which files to down load for EMTeX.
+Have you deleted EMTEX from your archives? We find that
+(from your help file) EMTEX could be obtained on 3 1/2 disks.
+But we prefer to down load here via ftp. Please let us
+know if this is possible; how to do it and WHICH FILES
+we should down load. In case, EMTEX is not availble, please
+advise (even in that case) which files we should down load
+so as to have a working TEX system. We have a POSTSCRIPT laser
+printer and EPSON LQ2500. We would need drivers for these
+(dvi2ps and dvi2eps)
+
+Thanking you,
+yours sincerely

+Subject: Raising awareness
+
+I have a letter published in The Daily Telegraph today on the
+subject of character sets and computers. My letter of course
+named TeX. The Editor has unfortunately balked at the logo,
+or at a name he didn't know, and has substituted "a character
+text system" - whatever that means.

+Does anyone know if there is likely to be in the near future a public
+domain "interpreter/compiler" under DOS or Unix for the MetaPost
+programming language. I have retrieved a copy of the user's manual
+from netlib@research.att.com and would like to try it out.
