these translators are a standard part of the `transfig' package. you
can get them from the Clarkson tex archive or the UK TeX archive to my
knowledge. I append some info on servers from Don Hosek's TeXmag.


****************
 
LaTeX-style collection. A collection of LaTeX files is available for
FTP and mail access at sun.soe.clarkson.edu. To obtain files via
FTP, login to sun.soe.clarkson.edu as anonymous, password guest and go
to the directory pub/latex-style (where the files are). Mail access is
accomplished by sending a mail message to
<archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu> with the first line containing
"path" followed by a network address FROM clarkson TO you, then file
requests with one or more files per line prefixed by "send latex-style".
For example,
path fschwartz%hmcvax.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
send latex-style Readme Index
send latex-style resume.sty
Note that this syntax is different than that used by the server at
the University of Rochester.
Submissions should be sent to <mrd@sun.soe.clarkson.edu> or
<archive-management@sun.soe.clarkson.edu>
 
LISTSERV@DHDURZ1 has file archives of interest to TeX users. Included
are the Beebe drivers and contents of the LaTeX style collection, as
well as some TeX macros. Many files are available only in German.
 
LISTSERV@TAMVM1 also has file archives that may be of interest to TeX
users on BITNET, including the files from the Score.Stanford.EDU FTP
directories and back issues of TeXHAX. For a list of files available,
send the following command to LISTSERV@TAMVM1: GET TeX FILELIST.
>>> THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE.
 
DECNET. There is a TeX file collection on DECnet accessible from
DECnet and SPAN. Available files include the Beebe DVI drivers, the
LaTeX style collection, and back issues of TeXhax, TeXMag, and UKTeX.
For more information, contact Marisa Luvisetto (DECNET:
<39947::luvisetto>, Bitnet: <LUVISETTO@IBOINFN.BITNET>) or Massimo
Calvani <fisica@astrpd.infn.it> U.S. Users should contact Ed Bell
<7388::Bell>
 
JANET. Peter Abbott keeps an archive of TeX-related files available
for FTP (JANET only) and mail access. The archive is stored in
[tex-archive] on the system uk.ac.aston.tex. Mail access is achieved
by sending mail to <texserver@tex.aston.ac.uk>. For a help file
send a message to that address of the form:
         ---
         a return address to you from Aston
         HELP
Note that all text MUST begin in column one. For Bitnet users, a
return address will take the form: <user%node@EARN-RELAY>. For
Internet users, the return address will be <user%host@NSFNET-RELAY>.
  For more information send mail to Peter Abbott <Abbottp@Uk.Ac.Aston>.
