tony@marcam.dsir.govt.nz asked where he could get the latest Unix TeX.
Since this question comes up a lot, I thought I'd post the answer (I am
currently maintaining web2c, the basis of Unix TeX).

You can get the complete Unix TeX distribution by ftp from
byron.u.washington.edu [128.95.48.32].  This has all the usual macros,
fonts, etc.  If you're installing TeX for the first time, go here.

If you just want the web2c part (the sources and change files for the
Stanford project programs), you can get that by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu
[192.12.26.23] or ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1].

Do not trust labrea for anything that is Unix-specific.  It is the
ultimate source for Knuth's sources, macros, and fonts.  It is
definitely out of date wrt web2c and the rest of Unix TeX.

I have never distributed any patches to web2c, so if you have any file
that claims to be such a patch, be wary.
