The FULL distribution of TeX along with all the contribution files is now available for downloading. For users that haven't called in awhile, the full distribution of X-windows 10.4 and X-windows 11.2 can also be found on the system. Sanford <sandy> Zelkovitz XBBS (alphacm) 714-898-8634 P.S. TeX takes MANY megabytes, so be ready for a shock!

You can ftp TeX from uunet.uu.net or from labrea.stanford.edu. For those with unlimited phone budgets, it is possible to uucp TeX from bigtex: I figure that with a TB+ it will take about 8 hours. I can also make tapes (60meg DC-600A). -- James R. Van Artsdalen ...!uunet!utastro!bigtex!james "Live Free or Die" Phone: 512-346-2444 10926 Jollyville Rd #901 Austin TX 78759

Also, what exactly The direct way of calling my system is going through the bbs. At the login prompt, type bbs and you will be running under the bbs software. If you prefer uucp access, login as nuucp with no password. I strongly suggest the you log in first through the bbs software so that you can get the full path names of the files for a uucp request. When you are in the bbs, you have the following file protocol options: xmodem-crc, xmodem-checksum, ymodem, ymodem-batch, zmodem, SEAlink, kermit (with the slidding windows option), and plaine old ASCII. The telephone number of the system is 714-898-8634 UUCP: !att!hermix!alphacm!sandy !uunet!ccicpg!turnkey!alphacm!sandy !ucbvax!ucivax!icnvax!alphacm!sandy <----- not too reliable !trwrb!ucla-an!alphacm!sandy I hope that this helps, Sanford <sandy> Zelkovitz

TeX takes MANY megabytes, so be ready for a shock! The shock is that even though you get 90 minutes a day and can download as soon as you sign up, you only get 500K of downloads per day. And if the TeX is anything like the X10R4 things are even worse. X10R4 is cut up into 350,000 byte chunks, so you can only grab 350,000 bytes a day! Last time I looked on uunet TeX was REAL big, might take well into 2 months to download at 350,000 bytes a day. Anyone else out there have X10R4 sources online? (The first 350,000 bytes were REAL nice, I don't think I can wait 10 days :) Scott Turner scotty@l5comp -or- uunet!l5comp!scotty "Ve hafe vays to make you talk! 350,000 bytes per day aught to sofen you up!"

The offer to make tapes of this still stands, but it will probably be a couple of weeks before Bell Technology gets the drive back to me. In the meantime I'll just save the requests and send out mail when I've got the tape drive back. In addition to TeX, I can put a copy of the latest GNU stuff on the tape too. The TB+ archive is still active for those who want to download things. The way this will work is that you will send me a tape and return postage, preferrably in the form of an already-filled out Federal Express slip. If you want to send money instead, I'll have to find out how much shipping costs for the tapes. PS. everyone send Bell Tech mail about how important it is to get my tape drive back quickly :-). -- James R.

I would strongly suspect that the version of TeX available from Sandy's BBS will not work on 286 machines due to the 64k segment limitation. I ported TeX to Sys V/AT over a year ago and recently upgraded it to version 2.93 (current). This was done on the way to an eventual MSDOS version, which I've been distributing since the start of the year. If there is sufficient interest, I'd be willing to distribute the Sys V/AT version binaries as well. Those interested may e-mail me at the following address. Gary Beihl (beihl@mcc.com) -- Gary Beihl
