OzTeX is also available for anonymous FTP on handies.ucar.edu, address 128.117.64.4. The directory 'pub/Mac/OzTeX' contains both the binary StuffIt files (subdirectory 'binary') and the split .hqx files in the other directories. -- Craig Ruff NCAR cruff@ncar.ucar.edu (303) 497-1211 P.O.

I'd also like to encourage folks to make files available to your local user community and/or the net at large to help reduce the overall load on the volunteer archive sites (you know how it goes: if someone with clout gets upset, there go the FTPable archive sites .... :-) maybe the folks at SUMEX could retrieve a copy and add to the pool of available sites?! it's really a shame when connections time out after 450k of a 500k file are already transfered. if that happens, get the 64k fragmented and hexed pieces from either NCAR or TANK, please... -- --------------------------> please send REPLIES to <------------------------ INTERNET: uhrig@mcc.com (if unavailable: werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu) UUCP: ...<well-connected-site>!milano!werner ALTERNATIVE: werner@astro.as.utexas.edu OR werner@utastro.UUCP

If people are interested in the floppy set, send email to steve.costa@bmug.fidonet.org, or leave a message for him at (415) 549-2684 saying "I want OzTeX on floppy" so that it gets into the disk duping loop. Sorry to say we don't yet have FDHD duping facilities available, but that may also be an option someday soon. We have the master disks as I write this, by the way...
