Summary: Notes submitted to group a while back now in ftp area
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL9]

Hi,

Ever since I posted my ``Intro to TeX and Friends'' a little while back
I have been promising myself that I'd submit them to an archive site
sometime.  In the meantime I have mailed numerous copies in response
to individual requests.  I believe that they have found their way
into archives of this group here and there, anyway.  It turned out
that I didn't need to submit them for at least two sites now have it
on anonymous ftp, namely

math12.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de in /pub/tex/documentation as the file
   maltby-intro.tex
and
ftp.ee.und.ac.za (a local site) in /pub/tex/maltby as the file
  maltby-tex-intro.tex

I'm told by a couple of people ``in the know'' that a manual such
as this does not undercut LaTeX manual sales so much as it promotes
the usage of TeX in general.  For this reason I have started writing the
new chapters that the original notes refer to here and there (mistakenly!).
I am not working flat-out at this, so I hope to post/submit the new-and-
improved version in 2--3 months.

Cheers

Gavin Maltby
