+\title{Standard for \TeX\ Directory Structures}
+\author{}
+\begin{Article}
+The TUG Working Group on a \TeX\ Directory Structure announces that
+a draft of the proposed \TeX\ Directory Structure standard is available
+for public review.
+
+You can get it by FTP from:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ <CTAN host>:/tex-archive/tds/draft-standard
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Comments and suggestions are welcome. Please communicate them by email to
+\texttt{twg-tds@shsu.edu}

+
+The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard \TeX\
+Directory Structure (TDS) for macros, fonts, and other such
+implementation-independent \TeX\ files. As a matter of practicality, it
+also suggests ways to incorporate the rest of the \TeX\ files into a
+single structure. In the not-so-long run a consistent directory
+structure will make it much easier to install and maintain \TeX. We
+hope that administrators and developers of both free and commercial
+implementations of \TeX\ will adopt this standard. It has been designed
+to work on all modern systems. In particular, this Technical Working
+Group (TWG) believes it is usable under Unix, MS-DOS, OS/2, MacOS, and
+VMS.
+
+We hope to publish another draft, or make the final release (depending
+on the volume of comments and concerns) shortly after TUG 95.
