This one just showed up in the FAQ Supplement, but....

Let me add one more since Daniel was kind enough to work on getting the new
(March 14, 1992) version to me and we have a few flavors of distribution
available.  The files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [.MUSICTEX] (sorry, no
FILESERV on this as it's a rather large package; if you don't have ftp and
need this package, please contact me and we can see what might be able to
be worked out, depending on your network, OS, etc.).  

We have musictex.zip, musictex.tar.Z (MUSICTEX.TAR_Z), and compressed VMS
backup saveset (MUSICTEX.BCK_Z) files available.  The musictex.zip file
does not include the fonts, which are included in musicpk.zip in the same
directory.

Regards,   George
