I have version 2.1 of ctex, but still need a number of add-ons to get a working system. Is there a way of getting parts of the unix distribution tape through the network? I don't have a practical way of reading from a 9-track tape into this system. I hear the whole thing has 60MB which makes matters worse. All suggestions welcome
