+</head><body>
+<h3>Prebuilt installation files on the archive</h3>
+<p/>The <a href="FAQ-tds.html">TDS</a> is a simple structure, and almost all
+files can be installed simply by putting them in the &ldquo;right&rdquo; place,
+and updating a single index. (Note, this simple idea typically
+doesn&rsquo;t work for fonts, unless they&rsquo;re distributed as Metafont source.)
+<p/>The CTAN network is therefore acquiring &ldquo;TDS-ZIP&rdquo; files,
+which have a built-in directory structure that matches the TDS.
+These files have to be built, and the CTAN team has asked that
+package authors supply them (the team will advise, of course, if the
+author has trouble). Everyone hopes that the extra work involved will
+contrinute to happier lives for package users, which in turn must
+surely help keep the TeX community lively and active.
+<p/>Use of the files is discussed in
+&ldquo;<a href="FAQ-inst-tds-zip.html">installing using preformatted ZIP files</a>&rdquo;.
