Does anyone know where I can send for PiCTeX documentation? I can't seem to locate Dr. Wichura at U.of.Chicago. Does TUG sell a manual? Any and all help appreciated. dave -- Dave Fififeld Dept. of Computer Science dave3@garfield.mun.edu Memorial University of Newfoundland. uunet!garfield!dave3 St. John's, NFLD, Canada -- -- Dave Fififeld Dept. of Computer Science dave3@garfield.mun.edu Memorial University of Newfoundland. uunet!garfield!dave3 St. John's, NFLD, Canada

I append some info on servers from Don Hosek's TeXmag. **************** LaTeX-style collection. A collection of LaTeX files is available for FTP and mail access at sun.soe.clarkson.edu. To obtain files via FTP, login to sun.soe.clarkson.edu as anonymous, password guest and go to the directory pub/latex-style (where the files are). Mail access is accomplished by sending a mail message to <archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu> with the first line containing "path" followed by a network address FROM clarkson TO you, then file requests with one or more files per line prefixed by "send latex-style". For example, path fschwartz%hmcvax.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu send latex-style Readme Index send latex-style resume.sty Note that this syntax is different than that used by the server at the University of Rochester. Submissions should be sent to <mrd@sun.soe.clarkson.edu> or <archive-management@sun.soe.clarkson.edu> LISTSERV@DHDURZ1 has file archives of interest to TeX users. Included are the Beebe drivers and contents of the LaTeX style collection, as well as some TeX macros. Many files are available only in German. LISTSERV@TAMVM1 also has file archives that may be of interest to TeX users on BITNET, including the files from the Score.Stanford.EDU FTP directories and back issues of TeXHAX. For a list of files available, send the following command to LISTSERV@TAMVM1: GET TeX FILELIST. >>> THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. DECNET. There is a TeX file collection on DECnet accessible from DECnet and SPAN. Available files include the Beebe DVI drivers, the LaTeX style collection, and back issues of TeXhax, TeXMag, and UKTeX.
