Subject: TeX for Alpha?
I would very much appreciate any information on the way to
get public domain TeX and LaTeX for an alpha workstation.
It would be very useful to get a multilingual version.
Thank you very much. Sincerely,

From: David.Osborne@nottingham.ac.uk
Subject: Proposed merger of UKTeX with TeXhax
It's proposed to merge the UKTeX Digest and TeXhax Digest to form
one TeX-oriented digest of e-mail questions, answers and announcements.
Since the UK TeX Archive (formerly at Aston University, now located at
Cambridge University) has now become part of the Comprehensive TeX
Archive Network (CTAN), there's no longer any real need for a
UK-oriented TeX digest, for which UKTeX was set up in 1987. A single
digest for discussing all TeX matters simplifies the issue of "which
digest do I post to, or should I post to both?". The intention is to
merge the lists of subscribers at the end of this year and that after
that date, articles posted to UKTeX will continue to be accepted, but
will appear in TeXhax with articles posted to that digest. TeXhax
will continue, being the "senior" digest with the larger list of
subscribers. One difference between the digests is that UKTeX appears
weekly, while TeXhax appears much less frequently depending on number
of articles submitted. To begin with, at least, the plan is to post
the new TeXhax weekly.
Comments are welcomed (directly to me, please) and I'll summarise any
responses to the digests in a few weeks.

Subject: kpathsea 2.3/dvipsk 5.58c/xdvik 18d/dviljk 2.3 available
New versions of dvipsk/xdvik/dviljk are in the usual place:
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
... and CTAN and its mirrors; see the end of this message.
Please use the nearest site, to reduce the load on our Sparc 1.
The patch that John Interrante and others created for web2c 6.1 for the
previous kpathsea release should basically work for this release; you
can get that as the file web2c.kpathsea-2.2.help from the above sites.
Naturally, I am working on the next release of web2c. It will be ready
no sooner than a month or two from now (and perhaps significantly
longer); it's no use to ask me precisely when, as I simply do not know.
As always, thanks to the many people who contributed. I tried to record
names in the ChangeLog entries.
Please report bugs to tex-k@cs.umb.edu.
Email tex-k-request@cs.umb.edu with a line containing
subscribe you@preferred.email.address
in the body of the message to join this mailing list.
If you only want to see announcements, not bug reports and discussion,
subscribe to tex-archive@math.utah.edu instead. (Email
tex-archive-request@math.utah.edu to join that list.)

Here's the NEWS:
kpathsea 2.3
* Extra :'s in an envvar value referring to the texmf.cnf value work.
* Names like dpi600/cmr10.pk can be found in ls-R.
* KPATHSEA_DEBUG environment variable checked.
* Directories like pk/ljfour directly under $TEXMF/fonts are found.
* New standalone program, kpsexpand, optionally compiled and installed,
to do variable expansion (not path searching).
* Debugging output written to stderr instead of stdout.
* pxlNNN support removed; I never intended to support `pxl1500'.
dvipsk 5.58c
* -o and -f once again do not read config.$PRINTER, but a new option
-mode and a compile-time default specify the mode.
* \special{"...} was never supposed to have a closing quote, so don't omit it.
xdvik 18d
* New --with-ps={no,gs,dps,news} configure options; gs is still the default.
* The file selection can be cancelled.
* No complaints about finding 249 dpi if looking for 250.
