Please send details of the books in +which you are interested to Peter Abbott by fax, phone or email. Peter will +supply a quotation without any obligation. + +We are only allowed to offer this service to \textbf{current} members +of the \ukt\ and/or members of \acro{TUG}. Please send your order +and cheque (in \acro{UK} \pounds) to Peter Abbott. Make cheques +payable to `\acro{UKTUG}' please. All books will be routed through +\ukt. \emph{In all cases} please notify Peter Abbott by email, phone, +fax or letter when books are delivered. This means that provided the +book(s) are in stock, it will normally take at least a week from +receipt of order to delivery of the book(s). + +\section*{Obtaining \TeX\ from 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 \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. + +For interfaces and catalogues of CTAN, you are referred to Graham +Williams' \emph{\TeX{} and \LaTeX{} Catalogue} which is available from +\acro{CTAN} as \path|help/Catalogue/catalogue.html|; other interfaces +are listed in \url{http://www.tug.org/interest.html}. + +Please report any problems with \acro{CTAN} archives via email to +\texttt{ctan@urz.Uni-Heidelberg.de}. + + +\subsection{Obtaining \TeX\ on CD-ROM} +\ukt, in collaboration with \acro{GUT}enberg, \acro{TUG}, +\acro{NTG} and \acro{DANTE}, have produced \TeX{} Live, a plug-and-play +\acro{CD}-\acro{ROM} for Unix, Amiga and Windows based on the Web2c +\TeX{} setup. As it is formatted according to \acro{ISO} 9660, the +platform-independent files can, in principle, be read on all operating +systems which can deal with that format, or Microsoft Joliet extensions. +The \acro{CD} is available free of charge to members of \ukt\ and to +non-members at \pounds25. + +Complete DOS, Windows 32 and Macintosh implementations are also +available as packages on the \acro{CD}; floppy disk sets will now be +supplied only on special request. + +\section*{Future meetings of \ukt} +The next meeting for members of \ukt{} is \emph{\TeX{} in its + diversity}, associated with the AGM. The meeting will be in +Cambridge, on Monday 21 September. Speakers will include Chris +Rowley, Sebastian Rahtz, Dominik Wujastyk, Simon Dales and Dick +Nickalls. The following day Hans Hagen will (if there is enough +demand) give a course on \TeX{} and PDF. Members should already have +received an announcement of the meeting and training day, but a repeat +copy of the flier is also included with this issue of \BV{}. + +In addition, both in Oxford and Cambridge there are tentative plans to +hold a least a trial local meeting for \TeX{} users. If you are +interested please contact Kim Roberts or Jonathan Fine respectively. + +For up to date details of meetings, visit the \ukt{} Web site at +\url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/UKTUG/} + +\end{Article} -- cgit v1.2.3
