[comp.text.tex] epic

barr@TRIPLES.MATH.MCGILL.CA (Michael Barr) (04/12/91)

A short time ago, info-tex offerred eepic on the list server.  This morning
I captured only to discover that it required epic.  The readme file said it
 would
give information later on how to get epic, but didn't.  Moreover, the memo
I sent to the author's internet address bounced back as addressee unknown.
So does anyone know how to find epic, either via the list server or
anonymous ftp?
 
Thank you, Michael Barr

EPIC is also available as a package on FILESERV.  Include the command
SENDME EPIC in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET and you
should get it.  If you want it via anonymous ftp, niord.shsu.edu has the
package in the directory [FILESERV.EPIC].  I didn't change eepic's readme
to indicate this as I wanted to leave it as original as possible (which I
guess I will change as a footnote somewhere).
