its forms, you may consider joining TUGIndia (see the Aims and
Benefits). | |

Information about the International TEX Users Group (TUG)
AwardsThe Knuth Scholarship is awarded each year for the
best original project using TEX developed by a non-technical user. The
award consists of an expenses-paid (not to exceed $2000) trip to the
next annual meeting.
TEX Archives,
Standards and Software A TUG Technical Council working group
defined a standard network archive for TEX software, the Comprehensive TEX Archive Network
(CTAN). This is a mirrored network of ftp servers at ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/
and ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/
which are widely
mirrored and hold up-to-date copies of all the public-domain
versions of TEX, LaTEX, Metafont and ancillary
programs.
TUG also helped to develop, and sells, a CDROM called TEX Live, which contains ready-to-run TEX systems for most types of
Unix and Windows, and a very complete tree of fonts and macros
arranged according to the standard TEX directory structure (TDS) created by a
Technical Council working group. This will be updated regularly. As
a service to our membership, we hope to provide information on new
publications of interest to TEX users, as well as links to the various
publishing sites to enable users speedy access to new publications
(as well as old) and ordering information.
