\section*{Baskerville}
Articles may be submitted via electronic mail to
\texttt{baskerville@tex.ac.uk}, or on MSDOS-compatible discs, to
Sebastian Rahtz, Elsevier Science Ltd, The Boulevard, Langford Lane,
Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, to whom any correspondence concerning \BV\ 
should also be addressed.  Back issues from the previous 12 months may
be ordered from \ukt\ for \pounds2 each; earlier issues are archived
on \textsc{ctan} in \texttt{usergrps/uktug}.

\section*{Book Discounts for \protect\ukt\ members}
We have arrangements with Addison-Wesley for
their well-known \TeX-related publications, and with International
Thomson Publishing to supply any of the very excellent O'Reilly \&
Associates Inc.\ series of books to members.

Due to price fluctuations and edition changes, it is not possible to
provide an uptodate list of books. Please send details of the books in
which you are interested to Peter Abbott by fax, phone or email. Peter will
supply a quotation without any obligation.

We are only allowed to offer this service to \textbf{current} members
of the \ukt\ and/or members of \acro{TUG}. Please send your order
and cheque (in \acro{UK} \pounds) to Peter Abbott.  Make cheques
payable to `\acro{UKTUG}' please.  All books will be routed through
\ukt. \emph{In all cases} please notify Peter Abbott by email, phone,
fax or letter when books are delivered. This means that provided the
book(s) are in stock, it will normally take at least a week from
receipt of order to delivery of the book(s).

\section*{Obtaining \TeX\ from CTAN}

The \acro{UK} \TeX\ Archive on \texttt{ftp.tex.ac.uk} is part of the
\acro{CTAN} (Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network) collaborating
network of archives on the Internet organised by the \TeX\ Users
Group.

%The \acro{CTAN} archives run an enhanced \emph{ftp} server which
%supports dynamic compression, uncompression, and archive-creation
%options.  Fetch the top-level file {\tt README.archive-features} for
%information.  The server also supports site-defined commands to assist
%you. Please read {\tt README.site-commands} for a brief overview.

For interfaces and catalogues of CTAN, you are referred to Graham
Williams' \emph{\TeX{} and \LaTeX{} Catalogue} which is available from
\acro{CTAN} as \path|help/Catalogue/catalogue.html|; other interfaces
are listed in \url{http://www.tug.org/interest.html}.

Please report any problems with \acro{CTAN} archives via email to
\texttt{ctan@urz.Uni-Heidelberg.de}.


\subsection{Obtaining \TeX\ on CD-ROM}
\ukt, in collaboration with \acro{GUT}enberg, \acro{TUG},
\acro{NTG} and \acro{DANTE}, have produced \TeX{} Live, a plug-and-play
\acro{CD}-\acro{ROM} for Unix, Amiga and Windows based on the Web2c
\TeX{} setup.  As it is formatted according to \acro{ISO} 9660, the
platform-independent files can, in principle, be read on all operating
systems which can deal with that format, or Microsoft Joliet extensions.
The \acro{CD} is available free of charge to members of \ukt\ and to
non-members at \pounds25.  

Complete DOS, Windows 32 and Macintosh implementations are also
available as packages on the \acro{CD}; floppy disk sets will now be
supplied only on special request.

\section*{Future meetings of \ukt}
The next meeting for members of \ukt{} is \emph{\TeX{} in its
  diversity}, associated with the AGM.  The meeting will be in
Cambridge, on Monday 21 September.  Speakers will include Chris
Rowley, Sebastian Rahtz, Dominik Wujastyk, Simon Dales and Dick
Nickalls.  The following day Hans Hagen will (if there is enough
demand) give a course on \TeX{} and PDF.  Members should already have
received an announcement of the meeting and training day, but a repeat
copy of the flier is also included with this issue of \BV{}.

In addition, both in Oxford and Cambridge there are tentative plans to
hold a least a trial local meeting for \TeX{} users.  If you are
interested please contact Kim Roberts or Jonathan Fine respectively.
