Use of IUE Final Archive spectra processed with NEWSIPS reduces Dxed pattern noise in individual spectra, allowing signiDcant signal-to-noise ratio gains in our co-added spectra. For the TTS observed by IUE, we measured ?uxes and uncertainties for 17 spectral features, including two continuum windows and four ?uoresced complexes. Thirteen of the 32 accret-H2ing TTS observed by IUE have detectable emission, which until now had been reported only for TH2Tau. Using an empirical correlation between and C IV line ?ux, we show that lack of sensitivity canH2account for practically all nondetections, suggesting that ?uorescence may be intrinsically strong inH2all accreting TTS systems. Comparison of IUE and GHRS spectra of T Tau show extended emission primarily, but not exclusively, in lines of We also Dt reddened main-sequence templates to 72H2.HAEBE stars, determining extinction and checking spectral types. Several of the HAEBE stars could not be Dtted well or yielded implausibly low extinctions, suggesting the presence of a minority emission com- ponent hotter than the stellar photosphere, perhaps cau
