Thanks for the numerous replies to my query about Unix TeX sources via
internet access.

The latest tex.web, the master source, lives on score.stanford.edu,
though apparently score is going away.  No definitive word yet on what
will replace it in this role.

Besides tex.web, it helps to have the most current web2c, which is
available on ics.uci.edu; note that this is considered less stable
than the one on the UW distribution, in the sense that it might have
untested changes.  ics.uci.edu also has a copy of the web files from
score; pub/web* are the files of interest.

There are also TeX files of interest on june.cs.washington.edu, in
~ftp/tex/, but they don't track the full Unix distribution due to
insufficient disk space.

The distribution on labrea.stanford.edu is apparently the newest full
copy of the Unix distribution available for ftp.  It's probably only a
matter of time before someone puts the contents of a newer tape
online somewhere, though that one has certainly served me well.

Thanks again to all who replied.

Eirik
