That is, the entire contents of the sub-directory called pub/tex/unix, on labrea. I just re-checked and this has not been touched since March 14, 1989. I understand that they plan to use Imakefiles as in X as the basis for this new distribution. As far as I know, this distribution has not been completed. Anyone know when?
