other goodies, you can also contact: Eigen PD Software, P.O. Box 722,

\title{Distribution of \TeX\ materials from Aston University}
\author{Peter Abbott}
\begin{article}
We regret to have to announce that due to the planned closure of the
University VAX service at the end of the 1993, Aston University will
no longer be able to supply magnetic tapes containing archive
material.  Neither will we be able to supply backup copies of the
current working \TeX\ system.

Changes in workload and resources mean that Aston will also be
unable to supply copies of em\TeX or Oz\TeX\ on disc. The committee of
the \ukt\ is actively investigating alternatives ways of supplying
members with \TeX\ discs and tapes.

{\em ftp}, mail and {\em gopher} access to the archives is {\em not}
affected by these changes and will continue to be available until further
notice.
