Here is the address given in the original posting:

    Name:    tank.uchicago.edu
    Address:  128.135.4.27



I know this works, I ftp'd the files the other day.  You
had better have some time on your hands though, about 6
hours if you need to transfer these babies by 2400 baud modem -
1200 forget it.  And you need a spare 5Meg on your hard drive.
On the positive side the package works quite nice- at least
the LaTex part which I tried- and you can't beat the price.
The dvi previewer however produces text which is rather hard to read.
