Owing to the unprecedented demand for the TeX support files, I will post them compressed, uuencoded and shar'ed. I will then become the largest poster to this group ever. I will get this stuff ready over the weekend. It will amount to a about a megabyte with a leeway of up to another megabyte. If this is a bad move, i.e. some people on the net don't want this much stuff, please let me know, but I've had O(20) mail requests and it really is a lot easier to post it to this group once and for all. At least it will be archived and widely distributed. Please, Please let me know if this is a BAD move. Oh, and I'll hold *everyone* to a million beers EACH. Cheers, Glenn

OK - it's a bad move, at least for those of us connecting via dialup lines, paying for connect time, and otherwise tying up the system to receive overlong files that we don't need. Please either post this to a sources group or mail them to the appropriate archives for downloading by interested sites. If you do post one to two meg of support files, I will consider that you owe me a case of beer to cover my costs :-) -- Lance Antrim Project on Multilateral Negotiation ..!uunet!embassy!lance American Academy of Diplomacy ___________________________________________________________________________
