[1b] A list of ftp sites.
The original list is due to Ed Vielmetti (emv@math.lsa.umich.edu).
The information was originally sorted by site. It's now sorted by
product. I've also added information from other lists and articles.
Certain sites are labelled as follows:
[p] -- primary distribution point
[l] -- latest version resides here
[x] -- use of this site is disrecommended.
Newsgroups are also listed as "sites", meaning that the program in question
was posted to that newsgroup and should be available from any site that
archives those newsgroups.
lee@sq.sq.com (Liam R. E. Quin) maintains a master list of fonts,
selections of which are included below.

OzTeX is a free version TeX for the Macintosh. Version 1.3
corresponds to TeX 3.0, and can be configured in "large" versions
that can handle huge macro packages, e.g. LamsTeX.
OzTeX uses standard pk fonts and tfm filesand creates standard dvi files.
Includes a DVI previewer, and PostScript driver.
For rudimentary support and additional information, send mail to

The PicTeX manual is not available in electronic form (at least, not
legally). Manual can be obtained from TUG. Contact Tug@Math.AMS.com
for more information.
If you have a copy of the file pictex.dvi at your site, delete it now.
Printing of that file is a violation of international copyright law.
Funds from the sale of the PiCTeX manual are the only renumeration Michael
Wichura (author of the package) gets for his work, and by illegally copying
the manual, you not only deprive him of income he deserves, but also
decrease the possibility of his releasing future macro packages under terms
similar to those of PiCTeX.
Note also that numerous bugs have been found in the LaTeX parts.
As of 4 Oct 90, the most recent version is available only from ymir.
The bug fixes will be included on future disks shipped by TUG.

"helpful" and "decent" in spite of some limitations. It gets high
marks for handling font changes. Limitations include no indices,
table of contents, margins or graphics. It also won't handle the new
features of WordPerfect 5.1, in particular the equation formatter.

[1c] Mail servers for selected sites.
When using mail servers, bear several points in mind.
[a] Follow the instructions carefully. Each mail server
accepts a different dialect of commands. Make sure
you aren't following server X's instructions when sending
requests to server Y.
Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests
tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches.
(I know, I'm one such administrator.)
[b] Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by
ftp or other means.
[c] Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers
is frowned upon by system administrators. Overuse of
mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.
Bearing all that in mind, ...

[2] A list of TeX implementations for the Macintosh.
o Textures (no capital 'x' any more): Around $750 with LaTeX.
A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
little to be desired, but with the growing availability of good
DA editors on the Mac, that's not as big of an issue as it used
to be. If you decide to buy it, get it from the TeX Users Group
so that they get the vendor royalty.
TeX Users Group
P.O. Box 9506
Providence, RI 02940-9506
Phone: 401-751-7760
The publisher is Blue Sky Research. Address *might* be
534 SW Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204. (That's the address
of Kellerman & Smith, the previous publisher.)
o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program.
The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly.
Available via anonymous ftp from:
midway.uchicago.edu in pub/sources/OzTeX.
watmsg.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.9) in pub/oztex.
ymir.claremont.edu (goes without saying)
x MacTeX: FTL is officially defunct, and MacTeX is no longer available.
o CTeX: The web2c version ported to the Mac (under MPW).
Available from ymir and midway..

[3] How to obtain TeX for the IBM PC.
The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
Radel. His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several
versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
documents, etc. A catalog is available by sending an envelope which
can contain 10 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with adequate return postage or
$2.00 (US).
Contact: Jon Radel
Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276
Reston, VA 22090
Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K floppy disks. For floppies
sent with a return mailer, there is a charge of $1.50/floppy
U.S. orders, $2/floppy elsewhere. For orders where floppies
are supplied by Jon Radel, there is a charge of $5/floppy
for U.S., Mexican and Canadian orders, $6/floppy elsewhere.
Other sources are the ftp sites listed in part [1].
The following information was released on 1 Feb 1989:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DosMF has passed the TRAP test and is now part of the DosTeX distribution.
DosMF is distributed with the complete set of Computer Modern Metafont source
files as well as sources for the LaTeX fonts. As with the current version of
DosTeX, the size of the mem[] array is user-controllable and preloaded versions
may be created from inimf dumps. Other array sizes and constants are as
specified in METAFONT: The Program (except max_in_open, which has been raised
from 6 to 10). Performance is approximately 30 seconds per character when
generating the cmr10 font at 200 dpi on a 8 Mhz 1-ws AT clone.
MSDOS versions of GFtoDVI and GFtoPK are included as well. Online graphics
support is provided within DosMF for the Hercules card. Alternatively, the
DosTeX Hercules previewer may be used with the output of GFtoDVI. The default
local mode is for the Epson printer operating at 240h x 216v dpi. No provision
has been made to avoid name truncation under MSDOS (i.e., mfput.2602gf becomes
mfput.260). DosMF is probably no match for commercially available
implementations, but it should be just fine for people who do not use Metafont
that often or wish to learn how to design fonts with the language. The DosTeX
distribution occupies 7 360k floppy disks. If you receive it from the vendor,
a printed version of the installation/operation instructions is also included,
along with support by mail or telephone as needed.
To receive DosTeX, send a check or money order payable to Electronetics, Inc.
for US$75 (US$85 outside USA) with your name and address to:

Stephen McGrath (smg@eedsp.gatech.edu) has placed a rather complete collection
of TeX gizmos for MS-DOS on eedsp.gatech.edu (128.61.2.1) in the TeX directory.
Get the file "readme.tex" before starting.
It includes SBTeX from Wayne Sullivan, Nelson Beebe's dvi drivers, an
EGA/VGA/8514 screen previewer, a BibTeX 0.99 implementation from J. Demel and
Dimitri Vulis, macro and style packages, and a humongous number of cm and am
fonts. You will need at least 4MB for the TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX/AmsTeX/BibTeX/etc
stuff, and up to 30 MB to install and unpack all of the drivers and fonts. 13MB
is a realistic estimate for TeX, drivers, and CM fonts.

[4] How to obtain TeX for UNIX boxes.
TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It
is up-to-date (TeX 3.0, MF 2.0), contains detailed installation
instructions and support is available if you have problems. Money
from the distribution tapes goes towards funding the support
hotline and future Unix TeX development.

[$\omega$] Acknowledgements
Thanks to all the people whose articles in comp.text.tex I've ruthlessly
excerpted. Opinions are those of the original authors (even though I've
lost many of the attributions), but if you want to blame me for them,
go ahead.
Thanks also to all the people who've sent me corrections, to the
authors of all the software, and to the many nameless administrators
which keep FTP sites up and running.
Special thanks to Edward Vielmetti for providing the raw material
for section [1b], as well as for moderating comp.archives, which
was another source of information.
Extra special thanks to Don Hosek, for gosh oh-so-many things.
