     You may get this from me via uucp if you're willing to pay for the
cost of the phone call.  Set up an entry in your uucp l.sys file,
and then fetch the file "~Uanon/Catalog".  Here's an excerpt to
get you started:

This is file ~Uanon/Instructions and ~Uanon/Catalog

Instructions for Anonymous Source Archives at hqda-ai:

     Archives are maintained as a public service.  They do not
contain any particular sources, just what seems useful to me.  If
you need something, and don't see it, send a mail note to
"postmaster@hqda-ai" and ask for it.

     Our modem is a Concord Data Systems model 224 Autodial.  We
can handle 2400 and 1200, but not 300.  This line is available 24
hours per day.  Note that 202-694 is accessible via PC-Pursuit.
If you have this service, feel free to use it.

     Here are a few sample L.sys lines for UUCP.  You'll have to
modify them for whatever autodial procedures you use.

L.sys:
hqda-ai	  Any  ACU  2400  1-202-694-6911  login:  Uanon
hqda-ai	  Any  ACU  1200  1-202-694-6911  "" \r login:  Uanon

The account doesn't have any password.  You may use wildcards to
request several files, but please check their sizes first.

Files shown as compressed are compacted using the Lempel-Ziv
algorithm, with 12-bit compression.  These files can be
decompressed on systems limited to 64k per process.  Times are
determined assuming a 2400-bps modem, yielding 2200 bps effective
throughput.

     must still be obtained from the standard TeX distribution.
