Subject: nefarious notes: WISCVM overload
% I have received reports from folks that the BITNET relay WISCVM.WISC.EDU
% is very overloaded. One of the ways in which they plan to combat this
% is to limit the number of addresses for any one mailing to 10. This will
% create problems for TeXhax subscribers on BITNET, as the distribution list
% currently shows 160 BITNET entries that use WISCVM.WISC.EDU.
%
% I have a request in to the BITNET folks, asking about ways I can re-route
% some of the TeXhax BITNET mail. However, it may be some time before they
% are able to get back to me.
%
% If you are on BITNET and can get TeXhax via local distribution, please
% send a note to texhax-request@score.stanford.edu so that I can take your
% name off the list and lighten the WISCVM load. It would also help if
% I can send you your TeXhax issues via some relay other than WISCVM
% (such as FORSYTHE.STANFORD.EDU).
%
% thanks Malcolm

I purchased IBM VM/CMS TeX 2.0 from Maria Code and included on the first
tape were utilities to interface TeX to the IBM 3800 Model 3 and the 3820.
We have not yet implemented these utilities, but we plan to. The tape
was $82 and included TeX, Metafont and other utilities and took a total of
50 cylinders to load the entire tape.

Is there anybody on BITNET (or EARN) who has the Cyrillic fonts
announced by Barbara Beeton in TUGBoat vol 6, no. 2 and who can
send them to me in VMS BACKUP-format (I'm using JNET V2.0)???!!!

ps. If you have the mathematical symbol fonts I'm of course interested
in them too...

%BIIHEAD.STY If this is included after \documentstyle{report}, it adds
% an underlined heading style to the LaTeX report style.
% \pagestyle{biiheadings} will put underlined headings at the top
% of each page. The right page headings are the Chapter titles and
% the left page titles are supplied by \def\lefthead{text}.

More submissions are very welcome.
An experimental archive server has been installed so that non-Internet
users can obtain files via email. Here are the instructions.
%%%%%
An experimental archive server for LaTeX style files has been
installed. Requests in the form of email to LaTeX-Style@rochester.arpa
(LaTeX-Style@cs.rochester.edu, ..!rochester!latex-style) will cause
files from the collection to be sent to you. The format of a request
is:
Subject line should contain the phrase "@file request".
Body of the mail should start with a line containing only an @ (at)
sign.
(Important!) The first line following should be a mail address FROM
rochester TO you. (Undeliverable mail will be silently dropped on
the floor.)
Then follow by the names of the files you want, either one to each
line, or many to each line, separated by spaces.
End with a line containing only an @ sign.
Case is not significant.
Do not include any messages in the mail. It will not be seen by human
eyes.
Allow some time for delivery as the server is actually an offline batch
program. Files will be sent in batches, not exceeding 64kbytes in size
to survive mailers.
