Let me give you a status report on what's happening with MH. I've got a bundle of updates which are now being tested at several beta-test sites (who run different configurations, versions of UNIX, etc.). One of the updates includes all the TeX and LaTeX files needed to generate the old papers: bboards, mh4, mh5, multifarious, realwork, trusted, and tutorial. I'm reluctant to send this stuff out now, because there might be some changes that come out of the beta-testing. I expect to have the testing finished in about 3 weeks, and mail out a bundle of patches over news and the mh-workers mailing list. If you absolutely have to have the papers/ updates, send e-mail to bug-mh@ics.uci.edu (ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh) asking for them. Be sure to supply a good return e-mail path. Also, let me know if you can ftp them, since they're pretty large (>100K). If someone wants to volunteer to take these updates and generate postscript files which I can ftp back to UCI, I'll be happy to take them and distribute them with new MH releases. -- John Romine
