+Subject: BibTeX
+
+
+I am using LaTeX and BibTeX both on a Sun and on a Mac. Unfortunately,
+the two BibTeX versions are not compatible, i.e. the ...sty files are
+not exchangeable. On the Mac, I am running BibTeX 0.99c v 2.0 (Stanford
+TeX project). The BibTeX on the Sun calls itself 0.99c, also, but ...
+
+What I need is a "natsci.sty" file for the Mac BibTeX (the one from
+Unix definitly doesn't work).
+
+Does anybody have any suggestions? I'd sure appreciate them.

+The following solution is taken from the book written by David J. Buerger:
+``LaTeX for Scientists and Engineers'', McGraw-Hill, 1990, ISBN 0-07-008845-4,
+page 28--29. It is based upon definition of a custom description list which is
+presented in a small example:
+
+\documentstyle[12pt]{article}
+\newcommand{\explabel}[1]{\mbox{#1}\hfil}
+\newenvironment{experience}[1]{%
+\begin{list}{}
+ {
+ \let\makelabel\explabel
+ \settowidth{\labelwidth}{#1}
+ \setlength{\leftmargin}{1.1\labelwidth}
+ }
+ }{%
+\end{list}}
+
+\begin{document}
+\begin{experience}{19XX--XX}
+\item[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.
+\item[1990--92]
+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.
+\end{experience}
+\end{document}
+
+The parameter of the ``experience'' environment specifies the widest item. You
+can add some more extra characters, e.g. {19XX--XXmmm}, if you wish larger
+space between the item and the rest of the text. You can also play with
+setting the length of \leftmargin or you can change the typeface of the
+``years'' if you redefine \explabel.

+Subject: Why do my macros work???
+
+Dear TeXperts,
+
+some time ago I needed in a style file a great many macros of the form:
+
+\def\macro#1{\def\@macro#1{#1}}
+
+I did not want to type everything by hand and I needed to put the names of all
+those macros into a list macro anyway. So I created the list macro as:
+
+\def\obj@macros{\do{firstmacro} \do{secondmacro} \do{thirdmacro}}
+
+By trial and error I designed:
+
+\def\obj@def#1{\expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname{\@@def{@#1}}}
+\def\@@def#1#2{\expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname{#2}}
+
+At the proper moment I used:
+
+\let\do\obj@def \obj@macros
+
+This does exactly what I wanted but I do not understand why. Apparently the
+second parameter of \@@def is not supplied when I call \obj@macros.
+
+Please do not tell me that it cannot work. I ran this style file more than
+hundred times with different input data and I always got what I expected. The
+only problem is that I do not understand it.
+
+Any explanation will be appreciated.

+Subject: Incompatibility between TeX--XeT and TeX
+
+The TeX community has been told that Peter Breitenlohner's TeX--XeT is
+upwards compatible with TeX proper. Witness the footnote on TTN Vol 1
+No 4 p9 and the statement in the change file which says:
+
+> (3) therefore TeX--XeT is designed to be used instead of and not in
+> addition to TeX and consequently the pool file name is not changed;
+
+I believe I have found a counterexample, which has caused me to have to
+back off from installing TeX--XeT as a replacement for TeX.
+
+The problem arises because of the extra nodes which get inserted when
+paragraphs are broken into lines. The particular case which is causing
+trouble is when a formula is broken. A "\mathoff" is inserted before
+the \rightskip glue of the first line and a "\mathon" at the beginning
+of the next. These nodes are visible if you start unpicking the boxes.
+
+Consider the following example:
+
+ \setbox0=\vbox{\hsize=3em\noindent$a+b+\penalty-9999c+d$}
+ \vbox{\unvbox0\setbox1=\lastbox\unskip\unpenalty\setbox1=\lastbox
+ \unhbox1\unskip\showthe\lastpenalty}
+
+In ordinary TeX, this shows the value -9999, since the last item on the
+first line after the \rightskip glue has been removed with \unskip is
+the penalty which caused the line break. TeX--XeT, on the other hand,
+shows the value 0, since the penalty is obscured by the inserted
+"\mathoff".
+
+Although this is a contrived example, the problem actually showed up in
+some genuine macros. There are some macros for drawing rectangular
+category-theory diagrams written by Paul Taylor which use the
+technique of using penalty values to communicate information. In
+TeX--XeT, these macros break badly, missing out large chunks of the
+diagram.
+
+If this incompatibility cannot be mended, I believe that the claim of
+compatibility will have to be withdrawn. This means that TeX--XeT will
+have to use a different pool file name.
+
+I would of course much prefer the incompatibility to be corrected. I
+have tried reporting the problem directly to Peter Breitenlohner but
+have had no response yet.

+From: David_Rhead@vme.nott.ac.uk
+Subject: LaTeX verbatim
+
+I'm hacking a LaTeX style-file together for a design that has unindented
+paragraphs separated by "a blank line". So I don't want gratuitous blank
+lines appearing elsewhere, since it may leave the reader confused about
+"Where are the paragraph divisions?".
+
+As shown in figure 5.3 in the LaTeX manual, list environments typically
+start with \topsep + \parskip. The \parskip gives the effect I want to
+avoid. I can usually avoid it by hacking together redefined environments.
+E.g., a re-defined enumerate with \topsep set to -\parskip seems to be OK
+(although there may well be more elegant ways to achieve what I want).
+
+However, my attempts to hack at verbatim have failed.
+
+Does anyone happen to have a re-definition of verbatim such that
+ text text text text
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ computerese computerese
+ \end{verbatim}
+ text text text text
+will be typeset as
+ text text text text
+ computerese computerese
+ text text text text
+and not as
+ text text text text
+
+ computerese computerese
+
+ text text text text

+Subject: Font size for astronomical symbols
+
+I was generously provided in the past with packages for printing
+astronomical symbols in TeX. While they work well under PC-TeX, we have
+trouble in implementing them under Unix.
+
+We got them as 240dpi and the system stubbornly asks them in 300dpi.
+
+Any hint how to turn this round? While the system takes the closest font
+size in other cases, it obviously does not work for these symbols.
+
+Many thanks in advance for attention and assistance.

+
+(It should also be at midway.uchicago.edu in about a week.)
+There's a lot of changes in version 1.5; here are the most significant ones:
+
+- - OzTeX now has a "big" TeX (32 bit halfwords). The values of
+ mem_max, mem_top, pool_size and font_mem_size can all exceed 64K.
+ Other TeX parameter limits have also been increased.
+
+- - Multiple folders for TeX input files and TFM files are allowed.
+
+- - OzTeX supports all types of printers (not just PostScript printers).
+
+- - Non-resident PostScript font files can be downloaded on demand.
+
+- - OzTeX supports background printing and typesetting.
+
+- - New keyboard short cuts make it easier to proofread a DVI file.
+ (E.g., you can hit the space bar to scroll forwards through a document.)
+
+- - The "OzTeX User Guide" has been updated and expanded.
+
+- - OzTeX is now shareware.
+ The shareware fee is AUS$30 for an individual and AUS$150 for a group
+ (US$30 and US$150 for people or groups outside Australia.)
+ Both fees are one-time-only payments, covering this release and all
+ future versions. The group fee covers all members of a user group,

+Subject: making pandora work with MF smode
+
+
+The standard mf source files for pandora cannot be used
+with smode because they assume that the type of mode
+is always numeric (smode defines the type of mode as string).
+
+The following very minor changes will make smode
+work and will in no way alter the actual appearance
+of the font.
