These are the anonymous ftp sites that I prefer (I am in Europe and these are the fastest sites for me) Noweb 2.7a (only in this site in 29-May-95) ftp.shsu.edu:/pub/tex/web Noweb 2.7 ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/web 'get noweb.tar.gz' (on the fly compression of noweb dir, 1221834 bytes because it includes Dos and Linux binaries) or 'cd noweb' and get file by file (like this it's possible to skip the binaries dir) How to build Noweb 2.7a for Dos + PC386 + MKS toolkit ftp.daimi.aau.dk:/pub/empl/avs/avs386_noweb27a.tar.gz (my site, just for completeness, you might also want to look there for a newer version in case some bug in my scripts has been reported and fixed) emTeX 386 3.1415 [3c-beta12], LaTeX2e (1-Dec-94 patch level 1), Dvips 5.54 (several ftp sites must be used, see the file 'jrtex12a.avs') Chicago LaTeX package (required by noweb/src/xdoc/guide.tex) ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/chicago*.* Assuming that you followed the instructions from the file 'jrtex12a.avs' put the 3 files (chicago.bst, chicago.sty, chicagoa.bst) in ?:/emtex/texinputs/local) DJGPP (GNU software Dos port for PC 386) ftp.funet.fi:/pub/mirrors/oak.oakland.edu/Simtel/msdos/djgpp (empty in 21-Mar-95 due to disk crash) or omnigate.clarkson.edu:/pub/msdos/djgpp or oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/djgpp The easiest way is to get the README's and FAQ (readme.1st, readme.dj, djgpp.faq), to read them, and then to get the installation program (install.exe, install.dat) and the remaining binaries and docs (the minimum set of files that you need is the first FAQ entry, you will also need the Make module, and if you have a 386 without a coprocessor the 80387 emulator) Binaries for Icon 9.0 for MsDos 386/486: cs.arizona.edu:/icon/packages/msdos/de-386.lzh (if you don't have lha.exe to unpack the archive you should also get it from there) The MKS Toolkit for Dos is commercial software (Sorry) Don't know which is the last version, I use 4.2 (Oct-93) Tel: (519) 884-2251 Mortice Kern Systems Inc.

See 'jrtex12a.avs' for a list of the devices in the gs.exe, gs386.exe, gswin.exe, and gswin32s.exe binaries. Notice that gs.exe crawls when processing noweave output (after intermediate processing by latex and dvips), while gs386.exe is about 40 times faster (about 1 page/second in a 486 DX2-80). This speed difference does not apply to normal PostScript code it is caused by something in the noweb code
