-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label archives</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Repositories of TeX material</h3>
-<p/>To aid the archiving and retrieval of of TeX-related files, a
-TUG working group developed the Comprehensive TeX Archive
-Network (CTAN). Each CTAN site has identical material,
-and maintains authoritative versions of its material. These
-collections are extensive; in particular, almost everything mentioned
-in this FAQ
-is archived at the CTAN sites (see the lists of software at the
-end of each answer).
-<p/>
- The CTAN sites are
- <a href="ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive">Dante (Germany)</a>,
- <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive">Cambridge (UK)</a> and
- <a href="ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive">TUG (USA)</a>; the links are to
- the root of the CTAN tree, above which the layout is
- identical at each site.
-<p/>The TeX files at each CTAN node may also be accessed via
-the Web at URLs <a href="http://www.dante.de/tex-archive">http://www.dante.de/tex-archive</a>,
-<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive">http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive</a> and
-<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive</a> respectively, but not all
-CTAN mirrors are Web-accessible.
-<p/>As a matter of course, to reduce network load,
-please use the CTAN site
-or mirror closest to you. A complete and current list of CTAN sites
-and known mirrors is available as file <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/CTAN.sites">CTAN.sites</a> on the
-archives themselves.
-<p/>Better still, the script behind <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/">http://mirror.ctan.org/</a> will
-cunningly choose a &#8220;nearby&#8221; mirror for you, using information from
-the database &#8216;behind&#8217; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/CTAN.sites">CTAN.sites</a>; at present it uses
-<code>ftp</code> protocol for transfers, but the intention is to convert
-it to using <code>http</code> (web) protocol in the near future.
-<p/>To access a particular thing through the <code>mirror.ctan.org</code>
-mechanism, simply place the CTAN path after the base
-URL; so
-<a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/footmisc/">http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/footmisc/</a> will
-connect you to the <i>footmisc</i> directory at some CTAN
-site (or a mirror) &#8212; note that the <i>tex-archive</i> part of the
-CTAN path isn&#8217;t needed.
-<p/>For details of how to find files at CTAN sites, see
-&#8220;<a href="FAQ-findfiles.html">finding (La)TeX files</a>&#8221;.
-<p/>The TeX user who has no access to any sort of
-network may buy a copy of the archive as part of the
-<a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX Live distribution</a>.
