+\title{Distribution of \TeX\ materials from Aston University}
+\author{Peter Abbott}
+\begin{article}
+We regret to have to announce that due to the planned closure of the
+University VAX service at the end of the 1993, Aston University will
+no longer be able to supply magnetic tapes containing archive
+material. Neither will we be able to supply backup copies of the
+current working \TeX\ system.
+
+Changes in workload and resources mean that Aston will also be
+unable to supply copies of em\TeX or Oz\TeX\ on disc. The committee of
+the \ukt\ is actively investigating alternatives ways of supplying
+members with \TeX\ discs and tapes.
+
+{\em ftp}, mail and {\em gopher} access to the archives is {\em not}
+affected by these changes and will continue to be available until further
+notice.
