And how do a poor TeXhacker in Denmark, Europe get this, without access to anonymous ftp? Is there an archive sevice somewhere? Can I get it by sending somebody a tape? In case it has any interest, I can redistribute it to backbones in Europe. Rene' Seindal, DIKU, U. of Copenhagen. (seindal@diku.dk)

Previous versions of Common TeX used to have a MSDOS specific tex.c file and a make.bat file to compile. I don't see them in this distribution. Were they simply incorporated into the regular tex.c file ? If anyone out there has generated a Makefile for Microsoft C to compile this, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, PS: The Makefile supplied with the program worked fine on our Pyramid running OSx or some such flavor of Unix. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Atul Kacker | Internet: akk2@tut.cc.rochester.edu | UUCP: {ames,cmcl2,decvax,rutgers}!rochester!ur-tut!akk2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may get this from me via uucp if you're willing to pay for the cost of the phone call. Set up an entry in your uucp l.sys file, and then fetch the file "~Uanon/Catalog". Here's an excerpt to get you started: This is file ~Uanon/Instructions and ~Uanon/Catalog Instructions for Anonymous Source Archives at hqda-ai: Archives are maintained as a public service. They do not contain any particular sources, just what seems useful to me. If you need something, and don't see it, send a mail note to "postmaster@hqda-ai" and ask for it. Our modem is a Concord Data Systems model 224 Autodial. We can handle 2400 and 1200, but not 300. This line is available 24 hours per day. Note that 202-694 is accessible via PC-Pursuit. If you have this service, feel free to use it. Here are a few sample L.sys lines for UUCP. You'll have to modify them for whatever autodial procedures you use.
