Reading the latest Tugboat, I saw the UnixTeX site report. Several things about tex and metafont were discussed. A assumed (erroneously?) that all that stuff was available from june.cs.washington.edu via ftp. Is this not true? I went to june.cs.washington.edu, but couldn't find anything dealing with metafont (which is specifically what I'm after). If that machine doesn't have that stuff, could someone possibly point me in the right direction? I'm looking for mf sources (especially the base files plain.mf and cmbase.mf), other mf sources, MFware stuff, plain and lplain macro files, and other standard latex macros not included in the rochester latex-style collection. We have most of the above, but it is old, and some of it doesn't even work (for instance, the plain.mf won't work with our current metafont). Thanks for any help. Glenn Little little%cs@ucsd.edu

Metafont sources for fonts, macro packages,etc can be found at score.stanford.edu. Beware, it's a tops-20 machine.

There are several directories for the tex and metafont stuff on score that I know of: amsfonts, amstex, aps, bibtex, cm, doc, gf, inputs, latex, mf, tex texguests, texhax, and web These directories are "subdirectories" (if there is such a thing for tops20) of the directory <tex>. For example, the sources to computer modern are in the directory <tex.cm> and be sure that you use the angle brackets: ftp score.stanford.edu ftp> cd <tex.cm> ftp> prompt ftp> verbose ftp> mget *.* ftp> quit There is no unix stuff (change files, .c files, makefiles, etc.) on score; you'll need to get that from Washington. -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@cartan.berkeley.edu ucbvax!cartan!rusty
