I'm not sure what you mean by ``updates''. All the web2c releases I have made consist of two files: 1) web2c-<version>.tar.Z 2) web-<version>.tar.Z The web-*.tar.Z archive is just the master web files. These can be retrieved from anywhere; labrea.stanford.edu is The Ultimate Source. They are put into a slightly different directory structure than on labrea. The web2c-*.tar.Z file is all the remaining files needed to compile TeX. It untars into the same directory structure as the web-* archive, of course. Neither archive has TeX macros, fonts, or other things needed for a complete distribution. You can order a Unix TeX distribution which includes all these things from the University of Washington (email elisabet@max.acs.washington.edu); or you can ftp from byron.u.washington.edu. (The Unix TeX distribution on labrea is old.) I have never released any patches or other partial updates or distributions. David, I don't know what uktex's address is, so feel free to forward this there. karl@cs.umb.edu -- MSEN Archive Service file verification ftp.cs.umb.edu total 5624 -rw-r--r-- 1 karl 5027 Jun 18 17:34 ushyphen.max -rw-rw-rw- 1 karl 3750 Jun 18 17:33 ushyphen.add -rw-r--r-- 1 karl 37402 Jun 9 08:01 charsubdef.tar.Z lrwxrwxrwx 1 karl 12 Jun 4 12:03 fontname -> fontname-1.0 drwxrwxr-x 2 karl 512 Jun 4 12:02 fontname-1.0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 73777 May 9 06:43 mfjob-2.7.1.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 77493 May 9 06:42 malvern-0.3.tar.Z lrwxrwxrwx 1 karl 16 Apr 30 12:39 eplain.tar.Z -> eplain-1.9.tar.Z lrwxrwxrwx 1 karl 10 Apr 30 12:38 eplain -> eplain-1.9 drwxrwxr-x 2 karl 1024 Apr 30 12:36 eplain-dos drwxrwxr-x 2 karl 1536 Apr 30 12:35 eplain-1.9 -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 215109 Apr 26 13:06 eplain-1.9.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 214443 Apr 23 11:51 musictex.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 1370 Apr 18 20:06 README -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 553681 Apr 16 17:46 web2c-5.84b.tar.Z lrwxrwxrwx 1 karl 15 Apr 16 15:25 web.tar.Z -> web-5.84b.tar.Z lrwxrwxrwx 1 karl 17 Apr 16 15:25 web2c.tar.Z -> web2c-5.84b.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 1594377 Apr 16 14:14 web-5.84b.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 karl 52668 Apr 9 15:37 chbar.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 29130 Mar 18 16:10 modes.mf -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 100721 Jan 9 06:53 tie.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 karl 820522 Jan 2 11:37 ilatex.tar.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 karl 512 Dec 3 1990 impatient -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 1371071 Dec 3 1990 waterloo.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl 485301 Nov 9 1990 ps-screenfonts.tar.Z found umb-tex-archive ok ftp.cs.umb.edu:/pub/tex/
