\section{\BV\ articles needed}
\BV\ has been getting good articles this year, and I am very grateful
to all the contributors. But I need more! Please delight fellow \TeX\
users with your words of wisdom.
\emph{Please note the following schedule of copy deadlines}:

Please also note the changed email and paper mail addresses for the
editor in the banner heading above.

Each issue of \BV\ will have a special theme, although articles on any
\TeX-related subject are always welcome. Contributions on the themes
for the remainder of 1994 are eagerly solicited:
\BV\ 4.5 will try and go beyond \TeX, to see what is on the
horizon, and \BV\ 4.6 will be about font-encoding if past history is anything
  to go by \ldots

\subsection{\TeX\ goes CD-ROM}

In the last \BV, the Dutch-produced \fortex\ CD was advertised, and
shortly afterwards a box of them arrived in the UK. They were promptly
snapped up by discerning members, and back-orders to Holland from
around the world soon accounted for all the copies which were made.
If you do manage to find one, it's a real treasure trove (you can see
one of my `finds' later) of fonts, macros, programs, articles, all
piled together moderately higgledy-piggledy. NTG and the \fortex\ team
are to be enthusiastically thanked for this product. I couldn't get
too excited about \fortex\ itself (it's a DOSsy shell for \TeX), but I
have used the disk over and over again to find odd files. Are any \BV\
readers who bought the CD willing to write a full review?

If that wasn't enough, those of us who attended TUG94 were given
another CD, `\TeX cetera', courtesy of Prime Time Freeware. This
is an almost-complete copy of the CTAN archives as of mid June (they
left out a few monolithic items like the Archimedes \TeX\ setup to
make it fit a single disk), collected and compressed into (usually)
meaningful bundles. They couldn't just dump the whole archive since a)
its too big, and b) the ISO 9660 file system on the CD couldn't cope
with the names and the level of subdirectories. This CD is a Really
Useful Thing! I recommend all or any \TeX\ persons reading this to buy
a copy now, and encourage Prime Time Freeware to issue regular
editions. Details of suppliers are given in the regular section at the
back of \BV.

\subsection{The archive is dead, long live the archive\ldots}
Later in this issue, Martyn Johnson and Robin Fairbairns explain why
and how the UK's \TeX\ Archive has moved to Cambridge. I join them in
a tremendous vote of thanks to Peter Abbott for the way he stood
behind the archive for years at Aston; without him we would have none
of today's fancy CTANs. At the same time, I would like to record again
the hallowed names of those pioneer archivists who worked so hard on
the old archive: Adrian Clark, Malcolm Clark, Brian Hamilton Kelly,
Niel Kempson, David Osborne, Sebastian Rahtz, Chris Rowley and Phil
Taylor. David's (ongoing) work on the
\texttt{uktex} and \texttt{texhax} bulletins
also deserves the fullest recognition here.

\subsection{Colophon}

This issue of the journal was created entirely with the new standard
\LaTeX\ and printed on a Hewlett Packard LaserJet~4.
\BV\ is set in ITC New Baskerville Roman and Gill Sans, 
with Computer Modern Typewriter
for literal text.  Production and distribution was undertaken in
Cambridge by Robin Fairbairns and Jonathan Fine.
