UK TeX Archive at Aston University
TELNET TEX.AC.UK or 134.151.40.18

(This service is brought to you through the generosity of)
(Fifth Party Ltd & Second User Systems Ltd [Hardware])
(and the Digital Equipment Company [Software])
The TeX Archive is maintained by a team of volunteers scattered around
Europe.
**** NEWS ****
Since the UK TeX Archive is now connected to the Internet, PUBLIC
account browsers can now use the FTP command to send files back to
their home sites.
We have now installed TGV's MultiNet product, which is vastly superior
to the implementation formerly used, which was DEC's UCX v1.3. Help is
available in the usual fashion; just type the command
$ HELP ftp
to get details; alternatively, type HELP at the FTP> prompt.
Other VMS sites also running MultiNet, or a compatible product, such as
Matt Madison's CRUX extension to the CMU/Tek TCP/IP product, will be
pleased to find that MultiNet FTP automagically negotiates transfer of
VMS files with all their structure intact. Users sending to Unix
systems should still select ASCII or BINARY as appropriate, to ensure
that record-length counts are not included in the bitstream sent to
their home site.
Your current default directory is the root of the UK TeX Archive. The
usual VMS commands are available for moving around the structure, but so
also is the Unix-like `cd' command; this can be used with a standard
VMS directory specification or with Unix-like relative movements (e.g.
cd drivers/dvidis).
MAIL is not available, neither is any facility for logging on to any
other machine. Many VMS commands have been curtailed or disabled in
this account; the HELP files have been updated to reflect this usage.
For transferring files back to your own site, use TRANSFER over X25
lines. Kermit is available for those calling via a modem and dial-up
line; it is specifically disabled for X25 transfer, because of the
extreme degradation of service that this causes to other users.
For transferring multiple files, with wild card specification, use the
SEND command; see HELP SEND for further details.
Internet FTP is available for sites directly connected to the Internet.
Any problems, please contact SYSTEM@Uk.Ac.TeX.. Good Luck!! Brian HK
