This strikes a chord with me ... I have had a terrible time ordering papers from the Oxford PRG. Absolutely no responses to request letters from my department. My only successes have come from contacting the authors directly. What is the difficulty here and how are technical reports to be ordered from this group without bothering/pestering their research people? - Dwight Spencer

In between now and then I grabed the zed.sty stuff of the oxford archive server and had a play around with the server. It sent me the most helpfull message. If you would like information about Programming Research Group monographs and technical reports (including many related to Z), please e-mail our librarian on <library@prg.oxford.ac.uk> or telephone him on +44-865-273837. I did this and the guy on the other end of that address was most helpfull and sent me the techreport I was after. Jim
