First of all, for all people who just want TeX,
ftp is certainly the answer.  TeX is 467386 bytes.
Expect a notice in the very near future concerning this.
I need to adjust a few things. I rewrote the path searching
functions to be pretty, not ``optimal'' (as in the proto versions),
and dumped a couple excessively long type names.
Since the internet ftp will be the first drop point,
let me pose a few questions to people on the internet.
Can I assume that anyone with an internet system also runs RCS?
I would like to distribute TeX in RCS format. The idea is that
people can make changes only if they distribute the changes in
RCS format with my version being the INIT revision. That way I
know that people are receiving my work intact with other changes
accessible as needed. Again this is addressed to the
internet community, who are the principal recipients 
at this point, and whose feedback is wanted right away.
An advantage to this use of RCS is that the INIT revision
will have official copyright info, etc., and there may be
a nice way to extract only the good stuff for local use,
say, a VIR version. Is this a good idea?
