+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Save as DRAWING.TEX
+% This contribution is written in LaTeX so that everybody can make a
+% "pretty printout".
+% In order to print it you need VERBATIM.STY by Rainer Sch"opf. This
+% style is available from many archives.
+% You of course need METAFONT and GFTOPK to generate the pictures.
+% (Ask your local wizard for help)
+% DRAWING.MF will be generated when you run this file through
+% LaTeX the first time.
+
+\section*{Introduction}
+This contribution explains how to use \mf\ for simple drawings. To
+make the text shorter, some commands are not described. The reader
+is kindly asked to look into this source to see how it was done.
+
+Nobody can guarantee that \mf\ is exactly what you need. the
+simple rules say:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Use \TeX\ where \TeX\ is good.
+\item Use \mf\ where \mf\ is good.
+\item Use other tools where other tools are good.
+\end{itemize}
+Here you can see examples where \mf\ is good.
+
+\section*{Why not other packages?}
+Though it might look strange I prefer explaining it here. The
+selection of tools is more (or less) a matter of personal taste.
+But there should be some reasoning behind it. If you want to make
+simple drawings, you may choose either MFpic or a similar package
+or directly \mf. In either case you must learn some new commands.
+However, MFpic supports only a subset of \mf. Later, if you need
+more complex pictures, you have to learn a new tool. With \mf\
+it's a bit easier. You just learn some more commands.
+
+It's not a good practice to reject everything what has been done.
+you can find files with \mf\ macros which can be used in a similar
+way as \LaTeX\ styles. This can make life much easier.
+
+\section*{Principle of \lmf\ pictures}
+The principle is to make a new font where a picture is some
+``character''. When we want to place the picture into the
+document, we change the font and type appropriate character. If
+the picture is too large or too complex, it is better to divide it
+into several characters and overlay them with \verb|\llap| or
+\verb|\rlap| commands or simply place the characters in the
+correct order (we will see it later).

+Subject: Making an index in AMS-LaTeX or LaTeX
+
+ April 29, 1993
+
+I'm pretty new to AMS-LaTeX and LaTex, so please excuse
+me if my request is not a very informed one.
+(However, I've used plain TeX for about five years,
+and AMS-TeX for about 3-1/2 years.)
+I've used the idx.tex file to generate an index.
+However, there is another file which is included with
+the LaTeX distribution called makeindex.tex which
+(when compiled and printed) gives instructions for
+using a PROGRAM called MakeIndex. This program sounds
+like it's much more sophisticated and powerful than
+idx.tex. But I cannot find
+the program anywhere. Does anyone know of this program?
+I can't figure out why the instructions for the program would be
+included and not the program (or style file, or whatever it
+is) itself.
+I'v even looked on several archives hoping to find it,
+to no avail.
+If anyone can help me, please respond directly to:
+
+phares@math.ias.edu

+Subject: citations
+
+I have a problem with bibliography citations in Latex. If I cite
+multiple references to the same place they come out this:
+
+I know a lot[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], rather than
+
+I know a lot[1-9].
+
+It seems this could be fixed by manipulating the bbl file by hand, but
+that seems way too messy. There must be a macro to fix this? I was
+disappointed that pctex didn't know how to do it.

+Subject: LaTeX output to HP DeskJet and style for curriculum vitae
+
+I would be most grateful if any of you could help out with the
+following questions:
+
+1) What is the email address for any LATEX user group in
+the USA? I am trying this address I got from a Latex book published
+in 1990. Can LATEX documents (with graphic output generated by e.g.
+GNUPLOT) be printed on a Hewlett Packard 500 deskjet (inkjet)
+printer? If so, where could one get or purchase a copy of the HP
+deskjet printer driver? I have been using Latex on a HP Laserjet 3
+printer in the department office and it works fine. However, I am
+thinking of buying a deskjet printer for my own personal use.
+Unfortunately, not many academics in HongKong use Latex, and those
+who use it rely entirely on laserjet printers.
+
+2) Although Latex is admirably powerful in preparing technical
+papers, I find it cumbersome to use it to prepare something simple
+like a Curriculum Vitae - e.g. the usual 'Experience' section where
+one would like to have something like:
+
+1987-90 Something here that may extend for several lines but
+ would like to have this block on the right typeset
+ and fully left and right justified.
+
+This can easily be done on a standard wordprocessor, but it is not
+clear how one can use Latex efficiently for this. Using a tabular
+environment is too clumsy for this. Whereas using a description
+environment may not allow one to adjust the spacing between the left
+and right blocks. Is there any 'clean' way to do this?
+
+Thank you in advance for your assistance.

+
+ TeXmenu Version 4.0
+
+TeXmenu SUMMARY:
+
+TeXmenu provides a unified NeXTSTEP front end for Donald Knuth's famous
+typesetting system TeX. TeXmenu integrates all the tools needed to use TeX
+in one application, i.e. you are no longer forced to handle various tools like
+the editor, the previewer, utilities such as spell checkers, and TeX itself
+from different applications. TeXmenu offers a powerful project management,
+including structure recognition, file handling and project search, thus
+providing a convenient way of handling larger multi-file documents. TeXmenu is
+designed as an ``open'' application, i.e. it does not depend on any version
+specific features of TeX, viewers, editors (and friends) and is widely
+customizable. TeXmenu offers services so the user can keep in touch with it
+from any other application, get help on LaTeX, translate his/her current
+project, any file or even screen selections. When running TeX in the
+background TeXmenu alerts the user when an error occurs and offers a
+convenient way to jump between the error message and location of the error, as
+well as letting the user continue the translation afterwards!
+
+Distribution is done shareware-like (i.e. you are allowed to copy a
+unregistered version provided you're running it in demo-mode) but TeXmenu will
+have some annoying ``features'' until you register your copy of it. Similarly,
+TeXmenu comes ``shareware priced''. For those who want a good TeX front end
+without paying anything for it, TeXmenu version 2.2 remains in the public
+domain (although ``donations'' are still accepted).
+
+
+LIST OF SOME NEW FEATURES IN TeXmenu 4.0:
+
+ o Project groups, comparable to NeXTmail's mailboxes: TeXmenu does not
+ only maintain a global list, it allows you to define groups using
+ the new filetype ``texpg''. You may group your projects in categories
+ like Letters, Manuals, Thesis, Papers etc.
+
+ o TeX Page Layout Panel: Interactively generates TeX/LaTeX macro
+ sequences for your preferred page layout,
+
+ o additional service 'Include PS selection' (thanks Derek!),
+
+ o the Watcher is now working similarly to NeXT's ProjectBuilder:
+ Click on *any* (LaTeX) warning or error message and the Watcher will
+ position you at the faulty position in the source-code,
+
+ o same for TeXmenu's Project Find Panel,
+
+ o new Inspectors and grouped Preferences,
+
+ o automatic reparsing of project's structure, user definable interval,
+
+ o drag&drop everywhere,
+
+ o a lot faster VT100(tm) terminal emulation,
+
+ o expanded generalized command execution scheme, you may even use
+ command line editors like vi for file viewing/editing, or xdvi
+ for previewing,
+
+ o and *lots* of other fancy improvements.

+Subject: Announcing new style: shapepar.sty
+
+About a year ago I made a \diamondpar macro in response to someone's
+repeated asking. At the time I hoped to make a \heartpar for Valentine's
+day. It didn't get done, but now I have a *general* shaped-paragraph
+style, that will do hearts, diamonds, squares, or anything else, in
+LaTeX and Plain TeX. It differs from an ordinary \parshape command
+because the size is adjusted automatically so that the entire shape
+is filled with text.
+
+I have just sent the file to George Greenwade for inclusion in the
+Shsu archives and the CTAN sites. (It is too long to post -- 800 lines).
+
+Enjoy.
