How to Obtain TeX
*****************

  TeX is freely redistributable.  You can obtain TeX for Unix systems
via anonymous ftp or on tape or CD-ROM.  The core material consists of
Karl Berry's Web2c TeX distribution.

  On-line retrieval instructions are available from either:
     `ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/unixtex.ftp'
     `http://www.tug.org/unixtex.ftp'

  The Free Software Foundation provides a core distribution on its
Source Code CD-ROM suitable for printing Texinfo manuals; the
University of Washington maintains and supports a tape distribution;
the TeX Users Group co-sponsors a complete CD-ROM TeX distribution.
