+\appendix{B}{Distribution Mechanics}
+The \mh5 distribution is available in two forms:
+\smallskip
+{\advance\leftskip by\parindent
+\item{1.} Anonymous FTP\hbreak
+If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet,
+use anonymous FTP to the ARPAnet host UDel-Huey [10.2.0.96]
+and retrieve the file portal/mh.5--tar.
+This is a \pgm{tar} image of size 2.1~MB (approximately).
+
+\item{2.} 9--track tape, 1600~bpi, \pgm{tar} format\hbreak
+Otherwise, you can send \$50.00 to the address below.
+This covers the cost of a magtape, handling, and shipping.
+In addition,
+you'll get a laser-printed hard-copy of the \MH/ documentation.
+The documentation includes installation guide,
+\MH/ Tutorial,
+\MH/ User's Manual,
+changes document (from \mh4 to \mh5),
+and BBoards Manual.
+
+\item{} If you go with this option,
+be sure to include your USPS address with your check.
+Checks should be made payable to
+$$\hbox{Regents of the University of California}$$
+It's also a good idea (though not mandatory) to send a computer mail message
+to {\tx Bug-MH@UCI} when you send your check via USPS to ensure minimal
+turn-around time.
+The distribution address is:
+$$\displayindent=\leftskip	\advance\displayindent by1.5\parindent
+    \halign{\leftline{#}\cr
+	Support Group\cr
+	Attn: MH Distribution\cr
+	Department of Information and Computer Science\cr
+	University of California, Irvine\cr
+	Irvine, CA  92717\cr
+	\cr
+	714/856--6852\cr
+}$$
+
+\item{} Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documentation,
+you still have to pay the \$50.00.
+The \pgm{tar} image has the documentation source
+(the man is in \ROFF/ format, but the rest are in \TeX\ format).
+\smallskip}
+\noindent
+In addition,
+there is some hope that \mh5, or a successor,
+might be found in a future 4.x~Berkeley distribution.
+
+Although \MH/ is not ``supported'' per se,
+it does have a bug reporting address.
+Normally,
+the address {\tx Bug-MH@UCI} is used to report bugs and bug fixes.
+There are however, 
+two discussion groups which concern themselves with \MH/:
+\smallskip
+{\advance\leftskip by\parindent
+\item{1.} MH-Users@UCI\hbreak
+A discussion group for the \MH/ user community at large.
+Appropriate topics include:
+questions about how to use \MH/,
+tips on \MH/ usage,
+and exchange of \MH/ shell scripts.
+All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
+along with problems,  questions and suggestions,
+should be sent to {\tx MH-Users-Request@UCI}.
+
+\item{2.} MH-Workers@UCI\hbreak
+A discussion group for \MH/ maintainers and experts.
+Appropriate topics include:
+questions on how to configure \MH/,
+tips on \MH/ configuration,
+exchange of \MH/ bug reports (and fixes).
+All requests to be added to or deleted from this list,
+along with problems, questions and suggestions,
+should be sent to {\tx MH-Workers-Request@UCI}.
+\smallskip}
+\noindent
+The \eg{UCI} host is also known as \eg{ucivax},
+so a possible \UUCP/ path might be {\tx $\tdots$!ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh}.
+
+Updates to \MH/ are published on the {\tx MH-Workers} list
+in the form of context diffs,
+and the appropriate distribution images are updated as well.
