\centerline{\bf\TeX line goes belatedly electronic}
\smallskip
\noindent
In deference to many requests, \TeXline\ has finally gone electronic. I have
lodged `copies' of the articles contained in \TeX line\ somewhere in the Aston
Archive. These `archived' copies go back to issue 5, and may include the
necessary support files to produce the newsletter. These support files are still
developing, so each issue should be regarded as a single entity. In theory, it
should be possible to reconstitute an issue. Note however that newer issues,
prepared on my Macintosh, have a tendency to use Macintosh style file names (up
to 32 characters, including spaces, back- and forward- slashes, etc.). File name
extensions are not required on the Mac.

How do you get hold of the files? Assuming you can connect to Aston, the files
are in in the directories
\begintt
[tex-archive.digests.texline.no5]
[tex-archive.digests.texline.no6]
[tex-archive.digests.texline.no7]
[tex-archive.digests.texline.no8]
[tex-archive.digests.texline.no9]
[tex-archive.digests.texline.no10]
\endtt
In each of these directories is |00files.txt|, which contains a list of the
contents of the directory. There is also a |read.me| file in the
|texline| directory, which might help.
