While the ftp sites listed below have just +about everything useful for users of TeX on a variety of operating +systems, our retrieval instructions -- intended solely for users with +machines running Unix -- are limited to the programs mentioned above. + +The three ftp sites mentioned below are part of the Comprehensive TeX +Archive Network (CTAN). + + CTAN is the result of cooperative work among members of TUG, + DANTE [German-speaking TeX Users Group], and UKTUG [U.K. TeX + Users Group], under the leadership of George Greenwade, Chair + for TUG's Technical Working Group on TeX Archive Guidelines. + + Special thanks to George Greenwade for establishing the CTAN site + at Sam Houston State University (US); to Rainer Schoepf, Barbara Burr, + and members of DANTE for the CTAN site at the University of Stuttgart + (FRG); and to Sebastian Rahtz for the CTAN site at Aston University (UK). + These archives mirror each other meticulously. + +Please use the host nearest you: + + Host Internet address TeX root dir + ---- ---------------- ------------ + ftp.shsu.edu 192.92.115.10 tex-archive + ftp.tex.ac.uk 134.151.44.19 tex-archive + ftp.dante.de 128.69.1.12 tex-archive + +Users of ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.dante.de will be able to retrieve +the same tex-archive files, but site-specific files (i.e., the two +mentioned in the next paragraph) may be named differently. + +Upon logging on (to ftp.shsu.edu), retrieve and read + + README.archive-features and + README.site-commands + +to learn how to use the archive efficiently. + +We assume that you will have read these documents and will be able to +use the information in them to make retrieval more convenient for yourself. + + For example, by reading these files, you will learn that you will be + able to retrieve foo.tar.gz even if the file does not exist, because + the ftpd allows archiving and compressing files on the fly. + +In our instructions, the mode of compression used during retrieval is +gzip. All files ending in .gz are gzipped. + +We encourage you to retrieve and install GNU's gunzip utility, part of +the gzip package.

The AMS fonts and macros are included. + + It unpacks into a directory named `texmf', which you will want in + your equivalent of /usr/local/lib -- whatever you defined as your + $(datadir) in the Makefiles. + + The organization of the archive was debated at great length. We hope + it will be useful. If you don't like our organization, you should + move the files around as you see fit, not forgetting to redefine the + search paths and installation directories. The Makefiles, + kpathsea/HIER, kpathsea/paths.h.in, and web2c/README (``Directory + hierarchies'') have more tidbits of information. + + We advise unpacking this and deciding on your directory structure + *before* doing the compilations. + + +For web2c: +- --------- + + Special thanks here to Karl Berry, Unix System Coordinator for TUG. + He improves/develops/maintains web2c, modes.mf, dvipsk, and xdvik + (and other things not mentioned in this file).

Remember to set up your texmf +directory hierarchy before embarking on your compilation (see "For a +basic set of input files and fonts" above). + +All installation processes require careful attention to detail, and knowledge +of your system. "Make haste slowly", and you improve your chances of success. + + +How to make web2c, dvipsk, and xdvik in a single make: +- ----------------------------------------------------- +[Thanks to Martyn Johnson, Pierre MacKay, Jon Peatfield, and Andreas Schott + for their notes.] + +These three programs are not packaged together, because the latter two +are updated fairly frequently. But (thanks to Karl's work), the programs +can be made in a single make: + + Extract the three archives so that the following directories + are parallel to each other: + + ./dvipsk- + ./web2c- + ./xdvik- + + Next: + + mv dvipsk-/dvipsk web2c- + + mv xdvik-/xdvik web2c- + + ./web2c- should now contain four subdirectories: + dvipsk, kpathsea, web2c, and xdvik. + +The files remaining in ./dvipsk- and ./xdvik- +are identical in all three archives. If you wish, you can now +remove ./dvipsk- and ./xdvik-. If you wish to +retain the names and versions of the programs, you can create the +following symbolic links: + + ln -s web2c- dvipsk- + + ln -s web2c- xdvik- + +Be sure to read web2c-/README, web2c-/web2c/INSTALL, +web2c-/dvipsk/INSTALL, and web2c-/xdvik/INSTALL. + +Make sure that you have completed the instructions in the section above +called "For a basic set of input files and fonts". + +You are now ready to begin configuring and building the programs. + + + +Network users interested in TeX software will find much that is useful in +the following FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) documents on rtfm.mit.edu +(18.70.0.209) in ~pub/usenet/comp.text.tex: + + T,_L,_e.:_F_A_Q_w_A_[M] + (i.e., TeX, LaTeX, etc.: FAQ with Answers [Monthly]) + +There is also a supplement to the FAQ containing FTP locations; it's in +the same place on rtfm.mit.edu. + +A beautifully done index of macros for TeX and LaTeX is available on +theory.lcs.mit.edu (18.52.0.92) in ~/pub/tex/TeX-index. + +These files are all included in ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/src.tar.gz. + +- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +If you are concerned about connect-time, search or retrieval problems, +or require help in building and installing the basic TeX/LaTeX and +Metafont programs on your machines, you may wish to consider ordering +a distribution tape from us (address below). + +A distribution fee in the area of $210 for domestic U.S. sites covers +the expenses of putting together and maintaining the tape distribution, +equipment, and of providing information and installation-support +services.
