I mailed the listserver, and got the files, but wasn't able to properly
uudecode them.  Zoo said filestructure corrupt.  This was after spending
a couple of hours manually unsharing them, moving them around from VMS to
UNIX, etc.  If someone has them as a zoo file without all the extras that
appear to be available elsewhere, could you please upload them to an Amiga
FTP site.  tut.cis.ohio-state.edu already has metafont and dviware for the
amiga in pub/amigo, so that would seem to be the logical place...

Of course if someone really needs a "professional quality" version of TeX
for the Amiga, they should purchase AmigaTeX from Radical Eye Software, 
where you can get Support if and when you require it.
