TextFile

To see the index for any category, send the server a message saying
"index <archive>" eg. "index latex-style". Capitalization does not
matter.  In the examples you should  replace latex-style with whatever
archive you are interested in.

Send server requests to archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
Send mail to archive-management@sun.soe.clarkson.edu if you must
speak to a real person.

1) For Internet users - how to ftp:

An example session is shown below.  Users should realize that ftp
syntax varies from host to host.  Your syntax may be different.  The
syntax presented here is that of Unix ftp. Comments are in
parentheses. 

% ftp sun.soe.clarkson.edu	(a.k.a. 128.153.12.2)
 ...				(general blurb)
user: anonymous
password: <any non-null string>
ftp> cd pub/latex-style		(where the files are)
ftp> ls				(to see what is there)
 ...				(lots of output)
ftp> get Index
 ...				(more blurb)
ftp> quit

2) Non-Internet users: how to retrieve by mail

To retrieve files or help documentation send mail to
archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu with the body of the mail message
containing the command help or index or send.  The send command must
be followed by latex-style and then the files you want.  Users who are
not in the uucp maps database are strongly encourage to include a path
command followed by a path from clarkson to you. If you don't include
a path command, your mail may not get to you and will definitely be
delayed as Michael will have to mail it by hand.  You should realize
that Clarkson does not have a uucp connection, therefore you must send
it to an internet or bitnet host that does have a uucp connection.
For example, host!user@uunet.uu.net should send:

To: archive-server@clarkson.edu
Subject:
path host!user@uunet.uu.net
send latex-style Readme Index
send latex-style resume.sty


3) Distribution via US-Mail

If you want to obtain a large quantity of files please get them by
USMail.  To do so mail to

Rob Logan 
ERC
Clarkson University
Potsdam NY 13676

a self addressed stamped tape (8mm, 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch) with a check
for $20 made to Clarkson University and a list of the archives that
you want (eg latex-style and texhax).  You can ask for as many
archives as will fit on the tape but you can not ask for individual
files.  The tape will be written in Unix tar format.  Unless you
specify otherwise the tape will be written at the highest possible
density. (1/2 inch @ 6250 BPI, 8mm @ 2.3 G/tape, 1/4 inch @ 60
M/tape). If you do not live in the US we will provide postage if you
send a self addressed tape without stamps and a check for $40 instead
of $20.

NOTE: if the tape is not self addressed we will keep the tape and use
it for backups.

You may obtain an index of all the top level archives by sending a
self addressed stamped envelope to the above address.

For your information that money is used to pay a student to copy the
tapes and any money left over is put into an account to be used to
eventually buy a disk drive dedicated to the archive server.
Contributions are strongly encouraged and tax deductible.

4) Distribution for IBM PC and clone users:

There are two sources.

	David W. Hopper
	446 Main Street
	Toronto, Ontario
	Canada M4C 4Y2

has LaTeX style files only.

1. Either one 1.2 MB diskette or three 360KB diskettes, blank and formatted.
2. Indication of the format required,
3. A self-addressed mailer, and
4. A $5.00 donation per set of files, to cover postage and equipment
wear & tear. (If you live outside North America, airmail delivery will
probably require more postage. You should probably contact David for
details.)
5. No phone calls or personal visits please.

	Jon Radel
	P.O. Box 2276
	Reston, VA 22090

has LaTeX style files and utilities. For a list or other information
send a SASE.

5) Keepers of Slave Repositories of the LaTeX Style Collection 

UK users: Aston University maintains a TeX archive covering all aspects of
TeX/LaTeX/Metafont and ancilliary software. UKTeX (like TeXhax) digests are
distributed from Aston. For users with Colour book software `FTP'
access is available, for all users mail access is available.  To use
the mailserver mail to TeXserver@uk.ac.aston.tex

        --- a line starting with at least three hyphens, rest of line ignored
        yourname%yoursite@relay
        help


Italian users: Marisa Luvisetto and Max Calvani maintain a SPAN/DECNET
depository. They  have software for redistribution like the latex-style
collection, Beebe's driver family, TeXhax, TeXMaG, UKTeX magazines, dvitovdu,
psprint, texsis.  For more info on what is available and how to get it, please
send a mail message to 39947::luvisetto or 39003::fisica .
American users can also contact Ed Bell at 7388::bell. Max Calvani's  internet
address is fisica@astrpd.infn.it.

Canadian users: A shadow copy of the LaTeX-style directory is kept on
neat.ai.utoronto.ca, and is updated automatically from the master source.  It
can be accessed via anonymous FTP (128.100.1.65).  Mail access is also
possible by mailing to info@ai.utoronto.ca or utai!info.  For more details
about mail access, send a message to that address with a message body that
reads

        request: info
        topic: help
        request: latex-style
        topic: info

Bitnet users: Texas A&M maintains a list-server and file-server which is
already handling (with TEX-L) much of the Bitnet distribution of
TeXhax.  An inquiry via listserv will retrieve a list of all
TeX-related files:
tell listserv at tamvm1 get tex filelist

6) Unix TeX.

You can purshase a tape containing everything you need to build TeX on
Unix systems from the Universtiy of Washington.

This archive is available on labrea.stanford.edu in pub/tex/unix for
those who like ftp but if your site can buy the tape, please do so.
The money from Unix tapes is used to support the Unix TeX support
people at U Wash and further Unix TeX development.  You'll be helping
to insure that there is a Unix TeX distribution in the future.
