Use anonymous ftp to any of the CTAN hosts (ftp.tex.ac.uk in the UK) and
the sources are available in tools/stuffit/ in its TeX archive area. To
the best of my knowledge, we do not presently have an executable for this
available in the CTAN.

Subject: oztex 1.6
can ayone help?
I have just loaded Oztex 1.6 on my mac. In the past, using 1.4, I have used
some AMS fonts. This has worked by putting the appropriate tfm files in the
Latex font folder. An equivalent trick does not seem to work. I just get
the fonts can't be loaded!!!

Subject: DVIPS under MSDOS
We have been using METAFONT to produce figures (e.g. graphs of functions)
and this works fine up to a point. The problem comes when using DVIPS to
create a Postscript file for printing. Unfortunately,
under MSDOS, DVIPS gives then error message
Cannot allocate more than 64K!
when it tries to convert any file with such `graphical' fonts---presumably
it is because each character is too large.
There are good reasons why we want to create Postscript rather than any
other format (e.g. for a HP laserjet) and we are stuck with MSDOS. Can
anybody suggest any remedies in terms of alternative DVI to PS converters
which do not have the memory allocation restiction, or ways to work round the
problem using DVIPS (which is otherwise excellent).
Thanks
