Thanks.  I noticed these when I was poking around in APS:<TEX.DVI> on
science.utah.edu, but I basically gave up when I found out that I
would need to individually download over 50 files in order to compile
it.  Is there somewhere that has it as an archive (I can handle Zoo,
ARC, PKARC, PAK, ZIP, tar, cpio, and pax formats), or is there
some kind soul that would be willing to mail the complete package to
me?  (If you have the whole thing, please just send me a note, letting
me know that you have it.  Please do NOT just send it -- I'm sure my
upstream sites wouldn't be too happy about 15 copies coming through
at once.  I'll pick the closest person, and ask them to send it to me.)

BTW, I have heard that a new version of the drivers is in beta-testing.
They're supposed to be less memory-hungry than the previous ones, and
a bit faster.  I'm sure that we'll be informed when they're ready for
release.
