I'm trying now to get my head around acquiring it. I don't have a great track record with installing things, and try to use package management systems when I can. Sffms is located on CTAN (which I'm learning about as I write this!). I'm running Ubuntu, and believe I have TexLive installed, but have never tried its package management system. What's a good way to proceed here? Thank you!
