HOW TO GET MH
     Since you probably already have MH, you may not need to read
     this unless you suspect you have an old version.  There are
     two ways to get the latest release:

     1.  If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet, use anonymous FTP
     to ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1] and retrieve the file
     pub/mh/mh-6.7.tar.Z.  This is a tar image after being run
     through the compress program (approximately 1.5MB).  There
     should also be a README file in that directory which tells
     what the current release of MH is, and how to get updates.

     This tar file is also available on louie.udel.edu
     [128.175.1.3] in portal/mh-6.7.tar.Z.  You may also find MH
     on various other hosts; to make sure you get the latest ver-
     sion and don't waste your time re-fixing bugs, it's best to
     get it from either ics.uci.edu or louie.udel.edu.

     2.  You can send $75 US to the address below.  This covers
     the cost of a 6250 BPI 9-track magtape, handling, and ship-
     ping.  In addition, you'll get a laser-printed hard-copy of
     the entire MH documentation set.  Be sure to include your
     USPS address with your check.  Checks must be drawn on U.S.
     funds and should be made payable to:

               Regents of the University of California

     The distribution address is:

               Computing Support Group
               Attn: MH distribution
               Department of Information and Computer Science
               University of California, Irvine
               Irvine, CA  92717

               714/856-7554

     Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documenta-
     tion, you still have to pay the $75.  The tar image has the
     documentation source (the manual is in roff format, but the
     rest are in TeX format).  Postscript formatted versions of
     the TeX papers are available, as are crude tty-conversions
     of those papers.
