Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) michael lipp communicated the following information from joachim schrod: ... the official ftp-hosts for LaTeX are labrea.stanford.edu and rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de, the former maintained by TUG, the latter by DANTE. i'd like to clear up a misconception. labrea is actually maintained by a devoted volunteer at stanford, at present dan kolkowitz. although tug has a very good working relationship with dan, tug is responsible only for delivering whatever is in the directory /tex/tugboat into his capable hands. dan takes care of everything else, including downloading tapes of new versions of tex, et al, that don knuth writes out on his unix workstation (knuth is no longer connected to any network). since the formal termination of the tex project several years ago, the stanford tex archive (originally at score, now at labrea) has no *official* standing or sponsorship at stanford. we are very much indebted to the volunteers who have kept this archive in such fine shape. so this message is not only conveying information, it is also a public "thank you" to these volunteers. -- bb ------- -- comp.archives file verification labrea.stanford.edu -rw-r--r-- 1 468 fsuser 66791 Mar 11 19:44 /pub/tex/tugboat/tugboat.sty found tugboat-sty ok labrea.stanford.edu:/pub/tex/tugboat/tugboat.sty
