You might find the PRG archive server useful. This includes a Z
bibliography. For information on the server, send a message containing
the command "help" to <archive-server@prg.oxford.ac.uk>.  For an index
of Z-related files, use the command "index z". For the full Z
bibliography, use "send z zbib". There is a Z LaTeX style file and
type-checker available for PCs and Suns (3s, and SPARCs soon I think).
Use "send z fuzz" for information.  (It costs c 300 UK pounds.)
