There are three official sources for Mittelbach's macros: (1) ymir.claremont.edu (FTP users should retrieve files from the directory [anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-mainz]; mailserv users should send the request send [tex.inputs.latex-mainz]multicol.readme to find out what files are necessary (mailserv requests should be directed to mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu)) (2) The Aston archive (for users on Janet) (3) listserv@dhdurz1 (for European Bitnet people). -dh --- Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont support, consulting dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu installation and production work. dhosek@ymir.bitnet Free Estimates. uunet!jarthur!ymir Phone: 714-625-0147 finger dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu for more info

I'd already sent some people the older version before I saw this. Please, let's eradicate the older version: if I've sent you a copy of version 1.2a, get the latest release from ymir.claremont. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Steele | INTERNET : steele@en.ecn.purdue.edu Electrical Engineering | BITNET : steele%ea.ecn.purdue.edu@purccvm Purdue University | UUCP : {purdue, pur-ee}!en.ecn.purdue.edu!steele
