I would like to obtain LaTex source code so that we can install it on our SUN server. Can anyone give me direction - where, and how to get it. Thanks!

The official archive site of tex and latex sources is labrea.stanford.edu. You can anonymous ftp to it and look in the directory /tex for the sources (there's a README file there that explains where everything is). I don't know whether or not there's an anonymous UUCP site you can get the sources from if you don't have ftp access. If there isn't, you can use the bitftp server on pucc.princeton.edu to get the files from labrea. To find out how to do that, send a message to "bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu" with the text "help". -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710 P.S. By the way, it's LaTeX and TeX usually, not LaTex and Tex. P.P.S. You could have found this out yourself by asking the archie server. YOu can do that by logging into quiche.cs.mcgill.ca as "archie" if you have telnet access, or by sending mail to "archie@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca". I logged in and typed "set search exact" and then "prog latex" and got back 10 responses.
