***** Notice **********
Some readers suggested that info about commercial products should also
be included in this document... But I didnt have enough time to
do it... Sorry about that... If you know any TeX-related products and
their detail info, I would be happy to hear from you.    /Guoying Chen

[STI.1992.12]     Supplementary TeX Information -- December, 1992

This is the so-called STI (Supplementary TeX Information) file, a supplement
to the ``Frequently Asked Questions'' maintained by Bobby Bodenheimer
for newsgroup "comp.text.tex". Note that there is some duplication of material.
I am grateful to our comp.text.tex audiences for providing your
up-to-date info. This document cannot be useful without your input and support.

Since the issue of August, 1992, this document is sort of restructured so
that it will be easier for you to locate what you are looking for.

This file is monthly (in early days each month) posted to USENET newsgroup
"comp.text.tex" and cross-posted to "news.answers". It is in several parts.
The entire document is reposited in
   CS.NYU.EDU (128.122.140.24)  at ~ftp/pub/tex/
and also in many good archivers, e.g.
   rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12) at the /soft/tex/documentation/
as the file FAQ.supplement-mmm.yy (mmm-yy is the month and year).
In that directory is also the comp.text.tex FAQ.

[1] Major FTP sites for TeX and its friends

[1a] Major FTP sites
  Please bear in mind the geographical location of the site to which you
  intend to ftp.  (This can typically be determined by inspecting the
  last component in the site name.)  Overseas links tend to be slow and
  expensive.  Choose the closest available site.  Most sites discourage
  ftp'ing during normal business hours (local time).

Major archive sites (and their administrators):

labrea.stanford.edu [36.8.0.47]
        Stanford University, California, USA
        Time zone: -0700 GMT

                 Rainer Schoepf <[e-mail]>
      350MB of TeX files.  Works together with uk.ac.tex.
      This archive is the primary source for emTeX, publicTeX, publicMF and
      all styles by Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf (multicol, verbatim,
      theorem, NFSS, ftnright, array).

ymir.claremont.edu [134.173.4.23]
        The Claremont Colleges, California, USA
        Time zone: -0700 GMT
        Contact: Don Hosek ()
      (so-called the second-largest TeX archive?  do not know if it
    keeps up-to-date info ??? )
      Aggresively tracks down packages for downloading.

uk.ac.tex
        Time Zone: 0000 GMT
      Home of the UKTeX newsletter, and a repository for all sorts
      of things.  NOTE!  This is not an Internet FTP site! (The FTP
      site is called "TeX.ac.uk", started service since March, 92.)
      Aggresively tracks down packages for downloading.

tex.ac.uk
    The ftp accessible site of uk.ac.tex (see above info).

wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [192.88.110.20]
        White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, USA

        Contact: [e-mail] (Keith Petersen)
        Suggested hours:  Weekends and evenings
      An archive of MS-DOS and other stuff.  TeX-related things
      can be found in the directory pd1:<msdos.tex>.

sun.soe.clarkson.edu [128.153.12.3]
        Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, USA
        Time zone: -0400 GMT
      Assorted things, especially LaTeX style files.
      Apparently has become ``hopelessly out of date''.

ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17]
        Department of Computer Science, Utrecht Univ., the Netherlands
        Time Zone: +0100 GMT
        Contact: [e-mail] (Piet van Oostrum)
        Suggested hours:  Weekends and evenings (2000 to 0900 UTC)

      Home of various Macintosh TeX goodies (in macintosh/tex).
      Requests for any TeX-related things for the Mac can be sent
      to [e-mail] and Walter will see if he
      can find it.  (How's *that* for dedication!)

uunet.uu.net
      Suggested hours:  Normal business hours [NB!]
      Not a TeX archive site, but rather a general-purpose archive
      site.  You can find comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.misc
      materials here.

>>>  Odds are good that if you want something, one of these sites <<<
>>>  has it.  See also section [1c] and [3].              <<<

[1b] Mirror sites.
     yallara.cs.rmit.oz.au [131.170.24.42]
            Mirrors labrea (for users Down Under)
            /pub/tex/labrea

     wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4]
            Mirrors wsmr-simtel20.army.mil.
            /mirrors/msdos

     [??? any more ???]

[1c] How to find more sites
    The `archie' server contains file listings for hundreds of ftp sites.
    Telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca [132.206.2.3] and type `archie' when asked
    to log in.  Then type `help'.
    OR, if your system has "archie", a program for querying archie
    anonymous ftp databases using Prospero.

===========================================================================
[2] 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.

niord.shsu.edu:
        via automatic FILESERV: include your email mesg to
    [e-mail] with
        sendme <subject>
    Questions go to: George D. Greenwade ([e-mail])

ftp.cs.ruu.nl:  [e-mail] or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf
    Send the message
        begin
        path [e-mail] (PLEASE SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS)
        send HELP
        end

rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de:  [e-mail]
    [last confirmed: 30 Sep 91]
    Same instructions as for ftp.cs.ruu.nl.

ymir.claremont.edu: [e-mail]
    To retrieve files from ymir via the mailserver, send a message to
    [e-mail] with a line saying

        send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME

    where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans "anonymous") and
    FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt". There is
    a list of files in each directory under the name 00files.txt
    Binary files are not available by this technique.

sun.soe.clarkson.edu: [e-mail]
    Send the single word "help".  You will receive instructions on
    how to use the email server.

uk.ac.tex:
    FTP access was available only to JANET users. Now it is also avail
    to internet users (tex.ac.uk). Login as username "public" and
    password "public". Then get the file  [tex-archive]00readme.txt

[3] Systems for TeX and friends

[3a] TeX for Unix boxes
  TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It
  is up-to-date (TeX 3.14t3), 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.

[3b] Tex for 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.  The physical distribution of the disks has been taken
 over by TUG.  The catalog should be free for the asking.  The final
 determination on prices for disks has not yet been determined, but
 for the moment, software is distributed on 5.25" 360K and 1.2M floppy
 disks.  3.5" disks are available by prior arrangement.  There is a
 charge of $3.50/floppy in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico; $4.00/floppy
 elsewhere.

 Major sources of ftp sites are listed in part [1a] and [10].
 particularly see
    DOSTeX, emTeX, emTeX386, Public TeX, SBTeX and related entries in [10].

[3c] TeX for Macintosh
-----------------------
o Textures (lowercase 'x'):
  Version 2.0 allegedly has many improvements over 1.2.

  A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
  little to be desired, but with a good DA editors, that's not a big issue.

 "Textures is a mature product, very stable, well supported.  Has a
  very good preview feature.  At around $400 list, it is way too
  expensive.  However, many University bookstores have it for $125."
