{\noindent Dear Ms. Brown:}

This is in reply to your recent request for information regarding \WEB\ and
\TEX .

The \TEX\ system, now known as
\TEX82, is copyrighted but it is made freely available to users at the
nominal reproduction costs.  The program on magnetic tape and some printed
documentation may be ordered from an approved outside supplier.

I am enclosing an order form for your use. I am also enclosing a sheet
containing some \TEX82 Installation Notes.  This latter is now rather out
of date, but it will give you an idea of the work that is involved in
installing \TEX82 on your system.  Not mentioned on either sheet is the
fact that Professor Knuth has recently written a users manual to appear in
book form under the title ``The \TEX book''.

In replt to your specific question regarding ``The \WEB\ System of
Structured Documentation'', this is the document referred to on the order
form as simply \WEB\ and the detailed code for this system is contained on
the standard \TEX\ distribution tape.

\ssqip\cr 
\hfill Arthur L. Samuel}

\fin % C'est tout.  
\end



From your letter, I judge that you are mainly interested in printed
information.  The available information together with the actual programs
may be ordered from an outside supplier.  I am enclosing an order form
that you may use to order those items that you require.

Professor Knuth has written a users manual to be published as ``The
\TEX book''.  You may find this book to be of value and you may wish to
obtain a copy when it becomes available.


\sign {\hfill Sincerely yours,\cr
\ssqip\cr 
\hfill Arthur L. Samuel}

\fin % C'est tout.

{\noindent Dear Dr. Heusler:}

In reply to your letter of March 25, 1983. the \TEX\ system, now known as
\TEX82, is copyrighted but it is made freely available to users at the
nominal reproduction costs.  The program on magnetic tape and some printed
documentation may be ordered from an approved outside supplier.

I am enclosing an order form for your use. I am also enclosing a sheet
containing some \TEX82 Installation Notes.  This latter is now rather out
of date, but it will give you an idea of the work that is involved in
installing \TEX82 on your system.  Not mentioned on either sheet is the
fact that Professor Knuth has recently written a users manual to appear in
book form under the title ``The \TEX book''.

In answer to your specific questions, \TEX82 has been or is currently
being installed on a number of TOPS10 and VAX(VMS) systems and it is
currently being used with many different kinds of printers.  As mentioned
in the Installation Notes, change files are needed for different operating
systems and different drivers are needed for the various printers.  By
now, there is a fairly lively exchange of information going on among
\TEX82 users and you should not have any trouble in locating a driver
program for almost any printer that you might want to use.
