+\section*{Book Discounts for \protect\ukt\ members}
+%The UK \TeX\ User group has been in discussion with a number of
+%publishers to arrange discounts on publications which may be of
+%interest to members.
+We have arrangements with Addison-Wesley for
+their well-known \TeX-related publications, and with International
+Thomson Publishing to supply any of the very excellent O'Reilly \&
+Associates Inc.\ series of books to members.
+
+The agreed list of books, together with the discounted (at least 20\%)
+price, is distributed occasionally with \BV, but is always available
+from the Treasurer, Peter Abbott. The quoted price includes the cost
+of postage and packing.
+
+%We would like to extend this service to members. If you have contacts
+%with the sales and marketing parts of any publisher who publishes
+%relevant books, please inform us and we will try to
+%arrange something mutually convenient and beneficial.
+
+We are only allowed to offer this service to \textbf{current} members
+of the \UKTUG\ and/or members of \acro{TUG}. Please send your
+order and cheque (in \acro{UK} \pounds) to Peter Abbott (address in
+\BV\ masthead).
+Make cheques payable to `\acro{UKTUG}' please.
+Books from Addison-Wesley are delivered direct but books from
+O'Reilly will be routed through \ukt. \emph{In all cases} please
+notify Peter Abbott
+by email, phone, fax or letter when books are delivered. This service
+is unfortunately not a speedy process

+\subsection*{From the network -- CTAN}
+
+The \acro{UK} \TeX\ Archive on \texttt{ftp.tex.ac.uk} is part of the
+\acro{CTAN}
+(Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network) collaborating network of
+archives on the Internet organised by the
+\TeX\ Users Group.
+%The main archives follow the same structure
+%and have identical files ({\tt ftp.tex.ac.uk}
+%{\tt ftp.shsu.edu}
+%and {\tt ftp.dante.de}).
+
+The \acro{CTAN} archives run an enhanced \emph{ftp} server which supports
+dynamic compression, uncompression, and archive creation options.
+Fetch the top-level file {\tt README.archive-features} for
+information. The server also supports site-defined commands to assist
+you. Please read {\tt README.site-commands} for a brief overview.
+
+%Details of where to find public domain, or shareware,
+%\TeX\ packages for different machines and operating
+%systems are given below.
+
+
+ Please report any problems with \acro{CTAN} archives via email to
+ \texttt{ctan@urz.Uni-Heidelberg.de}.
+
+
+%\subsection*{CTAN directories}
+The main directories which make up \acro{CTAN} are listed below; readers are
+referred to Graham Williams' \emph{\TeX{} and \LaTeX{} Catalogue}

+%\subsection*{CTAN -- CDROM}
+
+\subsection*{Unix -- CD-ROM}
+\acro{GUT}enberg and \ukt, in collaboration with \acro{TUG} and
+\acro{NTG}, have produced
+a plug-and-play \acro{CD}-\acro{ROM} based on Thomas Esser's \textrm{te}\TeX{}
+distribution.
+As it uses the \acro{ISO} 9660 standard, the platform-independent
+files can, in principle, be read on all operating systems which are
+compatible with that format.
+
+Unix executables for the following platform/operating system
+combinations are included: Digital alpha-osf (2.0 and 3.2), Hewlett
+Packard hpux (9.01 and 10.01), Intel i386 bsdi2.0, freebsd (2.0.5 and
+2.1.0) netbsd (1.0 and 1.1), Intel i486 (linux and linuxaout), m68k
+(linux, linuxoldld, and nextstep3), mips (irix 5.2, 5.3 and ultrix4.4)
+IBM RS6000 (aix3.2 and aix4.1.1) Sparc Solaris (2.4 and 2.5) and Sunos
+4.1.3.
+
+For full details see the article in \BV\ 6.2.
+
+The \acro{CD} is available to members of \TeX\ user groups at
+\pounds15 and to non-members at \pounds25. Order the disk from Peter
+Abbott; see the section `\acro{PC} and Mac disks' for details.
+
+%\subsection*{Unix tapes}
+%The group no longer offers Unix tapes: we recommend the \TeX{} Live
+%\acro{CD} to Unix users.
+
+\subsection*{DOS -- CD-ROM}
+\ukt\ distributes the comprehensive 4All\TeX\ \acro{CD}-\acro{ROM},
+created by the
+Dutch \TeX\ Users'
+Group (\acro{NTG}), now in its 3rd edition. This costs \pounds25 for 2
+\acro{CD}s, and is for \acro{DOS} users.
+
+
+\subsection*{PC and Mac disks}
+The \ukt\ distributes an em\TeX\ kit for \acro{PC}s,
+and an Oz\TeX\ kit for Macintosh. The cost covers copying and postage
+costs, together with the shareware fee for Oz\TeX\ (and other Mac programs)
+and Eddi4\TeX.
+Each set costs \pounds30,
+and is available from Peter Abbott, 1 Eymore Close, Selly Oak,
+Birmingham B29~4LB. Cheques must be payable to \lq{}UKTUG\rq{}. Please note
+that this service \emph{is available to \ukt\ members only.} Each set
+comes with an installation guide, and (at least) full \TeX\ and \MF, a
+previewer, a PostScript driver, and \acro{CM} fonts. Two update disks a year
+will be sent out automatically, with the current version of \LaTeXe,
+and other goodies. A subscription service is available for
+subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to 3 disks a
+year with any material from the \acro{CTAN} archives, but this will be
+supplied \lq{}as is\rq{}, without instructions.
+
+\subsection*{Atari}
+Enquiries for \TeX\ for the Atari \acro{ST} etc. may be directed to: The Fast
+Club, 7 Musters Road, Nottingham NG2 7PP. Phone 01602 455250, fax 01602
