After only two days, I've received 30+ requests to post the PlainTeX
source for the PlainTeX beginners manual "TeX Made Easy" so I do plan
to post shortly.

I live on a VMS VAX so I plan to post using a utility called VMS_SHARE
to pack the documentation into 15 files containing 15360 bytes each.
VMS_SHARE is VAX DCL commands to unpack and checksum the results so
you can be sure the data arrived intact.

I do, however, realize I'm posting to a group comp.text.tex that has
mostly Unix readers. Therefore, if you want "TeX Made Easy" but don't
want me to post it using VMS_SHARE, send me mail (before April 2, 1991).
I will not send you a Unix shar file. This is only to see if I should
use my own packing utility that will be easier to decypher on non-VMS
machines (something I'll need to develope).
