It's found in the file lgraph.shar. It is available from either: (1) anonymous ftp to cayuga.cs.rochester.edu [HOW? % ftp cayuga.cs.rochester.edu (a.k.a. rochester.arpa, a.k.a. 192.5.53.209) ] or (2) an archive server [HOW? Send a piece of mail to LaTeX-Style (@rochester.arpa, @cs.rochester.edu, via uucp or your favourite gateway) in the following format: Subject line should contain the phrase "@file request". Body of the mail should start with a line containing only an @ (at) sign. (Important!) The first line following should be a mail address FROM rochester TO you. Then follow by the names of the files you want, either one to each line, or many to each line, separated by spaces. End with a line containing only an @ sign. Case is not significant. For example, if you are user at site.bitnet, this is what you should send: To: latex-style@rochester.arpa Subject: @file request @ user%site.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu 00readme 00index @ A word to the wise: it is best to fully qualify your mail address. Our mailer knows about some gateways but not all. Examples: user%site.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu user%site.csnet@relay.cs.net Do not include any messages in the mail. It will not be seen by human eyes. Be patient as the server is actually a batch program run once a day. Files will be sent in batches, each not exceeding 100kbytes in size. ] -- ARPA: costanzo@cs.rochester.edu UUCP: ..!{allegra,decvax,seismo}!rochester!costanzo USnail: CS Dept., University of Rochester, Rochester NY 14627 Phone: (716)275-7747 Spoken: Hey You!
