Thanks to both of you.  One point of info though: it *isn't* a restricted
version -- all the programs are the same ones you'll get in the full
release.  It is cut down in quantity, not quality :-)

Folks with TeX on other machines could probably get a whole system up
just by copying the tfm/pk files etc and adding to this minimal
system.  However, fetching the whole lot is recommended.

And a reminder to people with no ftp:  send 30 *FORMATTED* disks with
return postage stamps or coupons to this address and get I'll copy
the whole lot free.  Turn around time is quite good at the moment since
I have the release on 3 seperate machines :-)

Graham Toal/76 Clare Court/Judd Street/London WC1H 9QW.  (No callers please)

Regards
   Graham
PS Wilfrid: bad choice -- of the 76 fonts in the package, you picked
cmdunh10 which is the only corrupt file of the lot! Argh! :-)
