\centerline{\LaTeX\ style files}\medskip
\noindent
There are a great many \LaTeX\ style files available.
Unfortunately, availability really means ``over {\it email\/}''
but nevertheless, it is worth listing the complete set of files
which were present (at the last notification). Thanks to the
efforts of Peter Abbott at Aston University, these files are
available in the UK, and can be obtained by anyone who
can plug into their VAX. This certainly covers all those
with access to {\sc janet}, and probably covers {\sc uucp}
people too. An access method for VAX users was given in
Sebastian Rahtz' ``Bits of \hax'' article.

Of course, not all the world is using {\it email}. But for the dispossessed
among us, it is possible to obtain the style files
on 5\frac1/4 floppy from
 David Hopper of Toronto, Canada who is offering copies of the style
 collection on diskettes.   David is
 doing this in his own time as a favour to the \TeX\ community. The entire
 set of style files, not including the C-\TeX\ files, as of June 1st, fits
 on one 1.2 MB diskette or three 360KB diskettes. No subsetting,
 please.  Send David: 
 formatted diskettes;
  indication of the format required;
 a self-addressed mailer; and
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. Contact David for details.)
 David's address:
{\obeylines\parindent2em 
 	David W. Hopper,
 	446 Main Street,
 	Toronto, Ontario,
 	Canada M4C 4Y2

\noindent
Since this seemed rather roundabout to me, I have copied all the
files (including C-\TeX) to 5\frac1/4 
{\sc ms-dos} floppy and 3\frac1/2 Macintosh diskette
for distribution in the UK. I cannot obtain 3 floppies for \$5 Canadian
(about \quid3.00),
so my prices are higher. I can distribute the style files
for \quid10.00 per 5 5\frac1/4 inch
 or \quid7.50 for 3
3\frac1/2 inch diskettes. For some reason, my copying
was less compact than David's. I may investigate
one of the public domain compression utilities, in
order to cut the cost. 
C-\TeX\ has been separated out from the style files,
and is available on 4 5\frac1/4 inch floppies, in
{\sc backup/restore} format. I have stored them in this way
to retain the directory structure so that the extra
files which come with C-\TeX\ make sense. I have not yet
put the C-\TeX\ files onto Macintosh format, but if there is a requirement
I can do this too. 

The list given below is slightly out of date, and there have been
some additions. The most noticeable change is with the
TeXtyl files, which have been slightly reorganised, and
include {\sc unix} and VMS versions.
John Renner, a former student of John Gourlay's, now at Adobe, wrote
TeXtyl to allow \TeX\ users to draw lines and curves in
their documents.  It is actually a postprocessor:  \TeX\ is run on an
input file containing  |\special|s which define a drawing, and then
TeXtyl is run on the |dvi| file to obtain a new |dvi|
 file in which the |\special|s
are replaced with |dvi| commands to print the lines and curves by
piecing together small characters from special fonts.  

However, if you want any
these files, you have to take the lot. Like David Hopper, I
do not intend to subdivide. I will try to keep the files
``current'', and emulating Maria Code, to obtain an update, you
have to take the entire set again.
