Figure B.4: Partial direc<strong>to</strong>ry tree of CTAN servers<br />

There are three main network servers for T E X <strong>and</strong> L AT E X located in the<br />

United States, Great Britain, <strong>and</strong> Germany, forming the Comprehensive T E X<br />

Archive Network, CTAN. They are not only kept up <strong>to</strong> date but also regularly<br />

exchange contributions among themselves. They are all reachable<br />

on the Internet.<br />

Country Internet address<br />

USA ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/<br />

UK ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/<br />

Germany ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/<br />

In addition, there are many full <strong>and</strong> partial mirrors of these sites. See the<br />

TUG home page, http://www.tug.org, for details.<br />

The direc<strong>to</strong>ry structure is the same for all three servers. A sketch of<br />

the main parts of the direc<strong>to</strong>ry tree is presented in Figure B.4.<br />

The latest version of the L AT E X source files may be found under the<br />

subdirec<strong>to</strong>ries base or unpacked, where in the latter the files are already<br />

unpacked <strong>and</strong> latex.ltx is ready. The L AT E X extensions <strong>and</strong> general style<br />

files that have been contributed by other users are located in the subdirec<strong>to</strong>ry<br />

contrib/supported, with each contribution in a subdirec<strong>to</strong>ry of its<br />

own. Extensions offered by the L AT E X3 Team are found in the required<br />

subdirec<strong>to</strong>ry, which include babel, graphics, <strong>to</strong>ols, <strong>and</strong> so on.
