Subject: Re: TeX for OpenVMS AXP?

You can find a very fine distribution of VMS executables both for VAX and 
AXP on the CTAN archive (ftp.tex.ac.uk) in tex-archive/systems/vms. The
files are archived and packed with the new ZIP which preserves VMS 
attributes.

The programmes come with full source and stand the canonical tests (there 
was an older AXP TeX which didn't, this one you can easily recognise by the 
huge size of the executable, 10 000+ blocks).

Enjoy TeXing on the Alpha,

Yours, J"org Knappen.

\subsection PC and Mac disks

    From January 1994 the UK TeX Users' Group is distributing an
    emTeX kit for PCs, and an OzTeX kit for Macintosh. The cost

    OzTeX.  Each set costs \pounds30, and is available from

    CM fonts. Two update disks a year will be sent out
    automatically, with the current version of LaTeXe, and other
    goodies. A subscription service will be available for
    subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to
    3 disks a year with any material from the CTAN archives, but
    this will be supplied `as is', without instructions.
