Bobby Bodenheimer's article, from which the present one was developed, used
to be posted (nominally monthly) to newsgroup
comp.text.tex and cross-posted to newsgroups
news.answers and comp.answers. The most
recently posted copy of that article is kept on CTAN in directory
obsolete/help; it is no longer kept in the
news.answers archives.
