<h1 align="center">Welcome to the UK List of<br>
                TeX Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>This FAQ was originated by the Committee of the UK TeX
Users' Group (UK TUG) as a development of a regular
posting to the <em>Usenet</em> newsgroup <i>comp.text.tex</i> that
was maintained for some time by Bobby Bodenheimer.  The first
UK version was much re-arranged and corrected from the
original, and little of Bodenheimer's work now remains.
<p>
<p>An alternative HTML version of the FAQ may 
be found in <a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX Live</a>.
<p>  A copy of the complete FAQ, in PDF with hyperlinks to
  assist browsing, may be found on

  paper).

<b>Caveat: Acquiring files</b>
<p>Most answers in this FAQ provide links for downloading
software; a large proportion of these links direct you to entire
directories on the CTAN archives.  Unfortunately, some browsers
issue a sequence of commands that causes CTAN servers to deny
the existence of compressed archive files of the directory, that the
server would be happy to create "on the fly".  The FAQ
therefore offers three possible links for downloading directories
(that aren't already designated "browse only"): the links give you
<code>.zip</code> and <code>.tar.gz</code> archives, and a link for browsing
the directory.
<p>Fortunately, CTAN is switching to statically-generated
directory archive files; many directories mentioned in this FAQ
will also exist as <code>.zip</code> files on the archives, and won't fall
foul of the browser problem.  Of course, if the <code>.zip</code> file
does not exist, and the browser is playing up, you will need to use
the "browse" link.
