To all the people who mailed me recently - we've had major mail
problems lately and haven't been able to get replies through; and
have missed a few incoming items too.

If you wanted a copy of TeX from me, send me 30 *FORMATTED* floppies
in the post, with return stamps (or reply coupons if not in UK).
You'll know how much to pay because it'll cost you that much to
send them to me! - so remember not to seal the parcel before you
get to the Post Office :-)

My TeX distribution works best on machines with hard disk and
>= 2Mb of Ram. A 440 in fact. Some smart folks have managed
to run it on a 310 with floppies, but I can't really help you
work out how to do that if you want to try. It'll be hard work.

The distribution comes with *all* sources, and precompiled drivers
for LaserJets and Postscript printers. Any competantC hacker can
add any of Beebe's driver range in an evening.

My address is:
Graham Toal, 76 Clare Court, Judd Street, London WC1H 9QW.

Turnaround time varies; I'll *try* to get it back to you within
a month but there are no promises. If you forget to format
the disks, you'll go to the end of the queue; It takes about 3
hours to format and copy 30 disks.

I'll also accept phone calls between 9 and 11pm, on 071 837 3806.

If a lot of people in the same neighbourhood want TeX, arrange
between yourselves for only one of you to write off to me.

One last thing; some people have been mailing me here at tharr;
please note that my reply address is gt...@ed.ac.uk -- tharr mail
may sit unread for weeks.

Regards
Graham
