Thanks for your huge contribution.  I installed the files on ftp.dante.de
as requested except when noted (i.e. when I decided to use choose a
different directory structure):

> 1) First of all, please remove obsolete contents of the following directories,
>   yes ALL contents:

> language/polish/

removed with the exception of the symbolic link to
macros/latex/contrib/other/ogonek

> support/psview/
>
> and the file:
>
> language/hyphenation/pohyph.tex
>
> 2) Here is the list of files I have uploaded to DANTE with recomended placing:
>
>    language/polish/*
>         The Polish formats for Plain, LaTeX2.09, LateX2e, hyphenation patterns,
>         sources of Polish fonts and TFM files.
>
>    language/hyphenation/plhyph.tex
>         The `official' and _proper_ Polish patterns

installed as a symolic link to language/polish/plhyph.tex

>    macros/TeX-PS/bop-hax.tex
>         macros for landscape, mirror etc. of TeX documents
>
>    macros/TeX-PS/epsfx.tex
>         epsf.tex/sty extension, e.g. draft printing of bounding boxes
>
>    macros/TeX-PS/trans.tex
>         easy transformations of PS objects, scaling, rotation, etc.
>
>    macros/TeX-PS/cmyk-hax/*
>        TeX-PS macros for color separation and substitution
>
>    macros/TeX-PS/poligraf*
>        page preparation for prepress, color separation,
>        crop-marks, color and gray scale bars, booklet preparation, etc.

>    macros/generic/tap070.zip
>    macros/generic/tap070.readme
>        a TeX package for typesetting tables; it exploits some

installed in  macros/generic/tap/

>        a PostScript program for converting one-page PostScript files
>        into EPS (encapsulated PostScript) files acceptable by

>    support/ghostscript/ps_view/*
>        Fast and easy previewing of PS documents!
>        a PostScript preamble providing an interactive environement
>        for previewing PostScript documents. The current version
>        can drive Ghostscript 4.03 interpreter and assumes conformance
>        of the document to the Adobe PostScript structuring conventions.
>        Batch files provided for DOS, however ps_view can be adapted
>        to any operating system.

installed as support/ps_view/ because support/ghostscript is mirrored
from another site

> I prefer such a placement because of close relationship to GhostScript.
