The Marx / Engels Internet Archive was at www.marx.org . I think it has now
moved to www.marxists.org - or at least it's definitely available there
together with many texts of other Marxists. There used to be a very useful
search engine to find where the elusive quote came from, but last time I
tried I couldn't find it.

The English edition of the Marx / Engels collected works was published by
Lawrence and Wishart (rather than Progress Publishers) in the UK, probably
with an under the table subsidy from the USSR and came to a stop in the
early 90s, I think. The German MEGA (Gesamtausgabe) similarly stopped when
the GDR disappeared, but has now been taken up by the Institute of Social
History in Amsterdam.
