From: CHANDAN@tifrvax.tifr.res.in
Subject: Wish to download EMTEX for MS-DOS
We had earlier used EMTEX and were conversant with it. We lost
the files in a disk crash. We therefore need to get a copy of EMTEX
for MS-DOS. we are not experts in ftp, file down load, etc.
we know how to login via ftp. We accessed tex.ac.uk but
could not make out which files to down load for EMTeX.
Have you deleted EMTEX from your archives? We find that
(from your help file) EMTEX could be obtained on 3 1/2 disks.
But we prefer to down load here via ftp. Please let us
know if this is possible; how to do it and WHICH FILES
we should down load. In case, EMTEX is not availble, please
advise (even in that case) which files we should down load
so as to have a working TEX system. We have a POSTSCRIPT laser
printer and EPSON LQ2500. We would need drivers for these
(dvi2ps and dvi2eps)
Thanking you,
yours sincerely

Subject: Raising awareness
I have a letter published in The Daily Telegraph today on the
subject of character sets and computers. My letter of course
named TeX. The Editor has unfortunately balked at the logo,
or at a name he didn't know, and has substituted "a character
text system" - whatever that means.

Subject: MetaPost
Does anyone know if there is likely to be in the near future a public
domain "interpreter/compiler" under DOS or Unix for the MetaPost
programming language. I have retrieved a copy of the user's manual
from netlib@research.att.com and would like to try it out.
Thanks
