The distribution on labrea is usually a copy of the most recent tape
distribution; the tape doesn't change all the time, either. You can
also get a copy via ftp to tut.cis.ohio-state.edu, which is usually a
few days behind labrea, and which every so often picks up the complete
style file archive from Clarkson as well (it is currently about 6
months behind Clarkson, though). Finally, Ohio State also makes all
things it has available for anonymous ftp available for anonymous
uucp as well; the uucp machine is "osu-cis". I don't have the instructions
for anonymous uucp to hand, but they are posted regularly to the gnu
groups, as Ohio State is a major Gnu redistribution point.
