Introduction
This FAQ was originated by the Committee of the UK TeX Users' Group
(UK TUG) as a development of a regular posting to the Usenet newsgroup
comp.text.tex that was maintained for some time by Bobby Bodenheimer.
The first UK version was much re-arranged and corrected from the
original, and little of Bodenheimer's work now remains.
An alternative HTML version of the FAQ may be found on the TeX Live
CDROM.
A copy of the complete FAQ, in PDF with many hyperlinks, may be found on
help/uk-tex-faq/newfaq.pdf (formatted for A4 paper) or
help/uk-tex-faq/letterfaq.pdf (formatted for North American "letter"
paper).
Most members of the committee of UK TUG, over the years since 1994, have
contributed to this FAQ to some extent. The following people, who
have never been members of the committee, have also contributed help
or advice: Donald Arseneau, Barbara Beeton, Karl Berry, Giuseppe
Bilotta, Charles Cameron, Damian Cugley, Michael Dewey, Michael Downes,
Thomas Esser, Anthony Goreham, Norman Gray, Eitan Gurari, Hartmut
Henkel, John Hobby, Berthold Horn, Ian Hutchinson, Werner Icking,
David Kastrup, Regnor Jernsletten, Daniel Luecking, Sanjoy Mahajan,
Andreas Matthias, Ted Nieland, Hans Nordhaug, Pat Rau, Heiko Oberdiek,
Piet van Oostrum, Scott Pakin, Oren Patashnik, José Carlos Santos,
Walter Schmidt, Hans-Peter Schr?cker, Joachim Schrod, Ulrik Vieth,
Mike Vulis, Peter Wilson, Rick Zaccone and Reinhard Zierke.
Caveat: Acquiring files
Most answers in this FAQ provide links for downloading software; a large
proportion of these links direct you to entire directories on the
CTAN archives. Unfortunately, some browsers issue a sequence of commands
that causes CTAN servers to deny the existence of compressed archive
files of the directory. The FAQ now therefore offers three possible
links for downloading directories (that aren't already designated
"browse only"): the links give you .tar.gz and .zip archives, and (for
those with the troublesome browsers) a link for browsing the directory.
