- I have been installing TeX on several systems lately and would like to
- know if I have the most recent information too.
-
- I found a copy of TeX 3.141 available for ftp using archie:
-
- akiu.gw.tohoku.ac.jp
- /pub/tex
- drwxrwxr-x 512 Jul 15 22:57 TeX3.141/
- isfs.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp
- /ftpmail/nuis.nuie.nagoya-u.ac.jp/TeX
- drwxr-xr-x 512 Jun 30 18:13 TeX3.141/
- ugle.unit.no
- /pub/tex/TeX-3.141
- -rw-r--r-- 47794 Oct 21 16:56 README.TeX3.141
- drwxr-xr-x 1024 Jul 3 07:54 TeX3.141/
- /pub/tex/TeX-3.141/TeX3.141
- -rw-r--r-- 47794 Jun 22 07:32 README.TeX3.141
-
- I got the file /pub/tex/TeX-3.141.tar.Z from ugle.unit.no and built
- the TeX distribution from there. I really hope they don't mind me
- saying where I got it from--I don't want their ftp server to get
- overloaded since it is a big 22 MEG file. It seems to be the current
- release as of June '92 or so. I installed this on our sun3 and sun4
- systems, as well as our Convex computer. No problems for me so far.
-
- I also ftp'd the DECUS tex collection for our VAX/VMS system from
- niord.shsu.edu. It is dated around February '91 but it seemed to be
- the most recent version available. It is not up to version 3.141 yet.
- If someone knows of a more recent version for VAX/VMS, I would love to
- hear where it is.
-
- I hope I won't have to do this again for a few years if these are
- recent versions.
