Not that I know of. The FTP site |ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk| has two directories for
papers and reports:

  reports

  hvg/papers

Unfortunately the former does only contain a few recent reports (not just from
our research groups either), and the latter is mainly other miscellanous
papers. It would be desirable to add some of the old techreports to the FTP
area, but this depends on their authors still having the source and being
prepared to get it all working and install it. Many might regard their old
reports as obselete anyway!

If all else fails, there's always hardcopy, but that's a rather slow solution
for people outside the UK.

John.
