Brief descriptions of the TeX stuff here. Contact tex-wizard@cs.umb.edu
if you have troubles transferring this stuff. (But don't write to that
address with general TeX questions!)
In addition to the files listed below, there are archives named with
specific version numbers.
All the archives are tar files compressed with gzip (GNU zip). gzip is
both technically better than compress and (so far as is known) free of
software patents. Write to lpf@uunet.uu.net for more information about
the new monopoly of software patents.
