Neither will we be able to supply backup copies of the current working \TeX\ system. Changes in workload and resources mean that Aston will also be unable to supply copies of em\TeX or Oz\TeX\ on disc. The committee of the \ukt\ is actively investigating alternatives ways of supplying members with \TeX\ discs and tapes. {\em ftp}, mail and {\em gopher} access to the archives is {\em not} affected by these changes and will continue to be available until further notice. \end{article}
