michael lipp communicated the following information from
joachim schrod:

    ... the official ftp-hosts for
    LaTeX are labrea.stanford.edu and rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de, the
    former maintained by TUG, the latter by DANTE.

i'd like to clear up a misconception.  labrea is actually maintained
by a devoted volunteer at stanford, at present dan kolkowitz.
although tug has a very good working relationship with dan, tug is
responsible only for delivering whatever is in the directory
/tex/tugboat into his capable hands.  dan takes care of everything
else, including downloading tapes of new versions of tex, et al, that
don knuth writes out on his unix workstation (knuth is no longer
connected to any network).

since the formal termination of the tex project several years ago,
the stanford tex archive (originally at score, now at labrea) has no
*official* standing or sponsorship at stanford.  we are very much
indebted to the volunteers who have kept this archive in such fine
shape.  so this message is not only conveying information, it is
also a public "thank you" to these volunteers.
