Definitely the right thing to do.  If you have found them on CTAN in a
location outside of the "nonfree" tree, you should notify the CTAN
maintainers: it would be definitely not nice to Addison Wesley and
Knuth to suggest by a bad placement of those files that people were
allowed to use them freely.

teTeX-2.0 - second release candidate

2003-01-31 Thread Thomas Esser 
Hi,

this is the second release candidate for teTeX-2.0. I have put the files to
my server, but they'll soon be available for download at CTAN:

  
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-src-2.0-rc1.tar.gz
  
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmf-2.0-rc1.tar.gz
  
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmfsrc-2.0-rc1.tar.gz
or
  
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-src-2.0-rc1.tar.gz
  
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmf-2.0-rc1.tar.gz
  
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmfsrc-2.0-rc1.tar.gz

All sources and texmf files should be ready for release, except teTeX
specific documentation (which I am still working on). xdvik is 22.40v-RC2,
but only the documentation will change for the 22.40v release.

If all is good, I'll make the teTeX-2.0 release this weekend.
