So I assume Mattes is regarded as uncivilised? b) its also available from the UK TeX Archive. It won't help you, as an FTP person, but there *are* people outside internet, you know. The UK TeX archive distributes emTeX on floppies - but before you ask, please don't abuse this service. Its intended for people with no electronic connections at all. Anyone reading this can almost certainly get it without causing staff at Aston (who, like ymir, do it for nothing) a lot of grief with floppy thingies sebastian -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
