Because of a security situation, the ftp://tug.ctan.org archive and the http://www.ctan.org front end to that archive will be going down until at least Wed Aug 06 (US East Coast). The archives at http://www.tex.ac.uk and http://dante.ctan.org remain up. I apologize for the inconvience that this causes. Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)ug.ctan.org
