I have been installing TeX on several systems lately and would like to
know if I have the most recent information too.

I found a copy of TeX 3.141 available for ftp using archie:

akiu.gw.tohoku.ac.jp
	/pub/tex
		drwxrwxr-x        512  Jul 15 22:57  TeX3.141/
isfs.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp
	/ftpmail/nuis.nuie.nagoya-u.ac.jp/TeX
		drwxr-xr-x        512  Jun 30 18:13  TeX3.141/
ugle.unit.no
	/pub/tex/TeX-3.141
		-rw-r--r--      47794  Oct 21 16:56  README.TeX3.141
		drwxr-xr-x       1024  Jul  3 07:54  TeX3.141/
	/pub/tex/TeX-3.141/TeX3.141
		-rw-r--r--      47794  Jun 22 07:32  README.TeX3.141

I got the file /pub/tex/TeX-3.141.tar.Z from ugle.unit.no and built
the TeX distribution from there.  I really hope they don't mind me
saying where I got it from--I don't want their ftp server to get
overloaded since it is a big 22 MEG file.  It seems to be the current
release as of June '92 or so.  I installed this on our sun3 and sun4
systems, as well as our Convex computer.  No problems for me so far.

I also ftp'd the DECUS tex collection for our VAX/VMS system from
niord.shsu.edu.  It is dated around February '91 but it seemed to be
the most recent version available.  It is not up to version 3.141 yet.
If someone knows of a more recent version for VAX/VMS, I would love to
hear where it is.

I hope I won't have to do this again for a few years if these are
recent versions.
