+
+how about using psfig instead? i have taken James Darrell's psfig1.8
+and emended it to use the macros in epsf.tex wherever possible (it
+\input s epsf.tex). this lets you use psfig syntax for just printing

+ \framebox{\psfig{figure=foo.ps}}

+ \framebox{epsffile{foo.ps}}

+the famous and widely used emTeX package has a 386 version which has

+TFMtoAFM comes with some software packages from Y&Y. It is, for example,
+in the `Font Manipulation Package' along with AFMtoTFM, PFMtoAFM, AFMtoPFM,
+SCRtoAFM, AFMtoSCR and more than a dozen other goodies. TFMtoAFM not
+only generates the usual AFM file, but also inserts comments describing the
+extra information found in TFM files (like how to make large delimiters out
+of pieces) that is not normally found in AFM files. These comments are used
+by AFMtoTFM. Hence AFMtoTFM can even make TFM files for math fonts!

+Subject: Size of foo after typesetting
+
+Friends:
+ I need help in deTeXting a problem in the TeX FM. I would like to
+determine the size of a fragment like "foo" after typesetting. Reason:
+I am using LaTeX to typeset a table. I wish to use vertical rules to
+separate tables. I also want the column information to be almost tangent
+to the vertical rules, much closer than the normal \tabcolsep allows.
+
+- - I have determined that I can use \tabcolsep to make a very small space
+ around the table entries, so that I get the spacing desired
+- - However, unless I use the p{wd} construction in the
+ \begin{tabular}{p{1in}p{23pt}etc.etc.} construction,
+ I do not get the vertical rules lined up, but rather all jagged.
+- - If I set the columns to have a length which is long enough to
+ typeset the longest string + a little, then things all work out.
+- - So I need the length of the longest string
+
+If I could figure that out internally, this would save unending fudging and
+adjusting (is there some term for the process of playing with parameters
+until stuff comes out right - if not, I suggest the term "quidge"). On the
+other hand, I may be squashing a sow bug with a large rock - is there an
+easier way? Reply privately if possible.

+ ASAETR
+ ------
+The ASAETR package includes the a UUENCODEd ZIP archive containing the 11
+files for version 1.1 (22 December 1992) of James Darrell McCauley's ASAETR
+file set. This package includes a set of LaTeX and BibTeX styles, with
+documentation and samples, to make your articles look like those in
+Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE).
+Also included are the metafont source file, precompiled PK (at 300dpi)
+font, and TFM file for the font cmcscsl10. This is not official and not
+(yet) an accepted way to submit articles to ASAE.
+
+The American Society of Agricultural Engineers editorial staff encourages
+authors to submit electronic manuscripts in the following formats:
+MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works (preferably Version 2.0), WordPerfect (Version
+5.0 or later), and WriteNow. Though LaTeX is not an accepted format to
+submit articles to ASAE, it does have utility when predicting page length
+and appearance of an article that you submit. Predicting page length is
+especially important when submitting "Technical Notes" (which cannot exceed
+two pages) and when trying to avoid unnecessary page charges.
+
+You may retrieve the package of of 4 UUENCODEd files by including:
+ SENDME ASAETR
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
+For users of anonymous ftp, the ZIP file is available from Niord.SHSU.edu
+(192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.ASAETR] as ASAETR-1_1.ZIP; the
+individual files are available in [FILESERV.ASAETR.ASAETR-1_1].
+
+Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)
+File Blocks Save file as: ASAETR.UUE
+
+ASAETR.UUE_1OF4 This file UUDECODEs to ASAETR-1_1.ZIP

+Subject: Tib in LaTeX "root file + \include-d files" situation
+
+From browsing through James Alexander's documentation about Tib (a TeX
+bibliographic preprocessor), I have the impression that Tib was designed
+for production of fairly short documents (e.g., an article), rather than
+for the production of long documents (e.g., a book). Have I got the right
+impression?
+
+In particular:
+* it looks as though one should go
+ tib book.tex
+ and get
+ book-t.tex
+ Having 2 big .tex files may be expensive in filestore.
+* it is not clear to me what one is supposed to do if one is using
+ LaTeX's "root file + \include-d files" approach (typically with one
+ \include command per chapter). Can the Tib-ing be parcelled up into a
+ shell script that makes the whole process as painless as using BibTeX
+ would be? (E.g., would you have a Tib index for each chapter?)
+
+Does anyone have any experience that they'd like to share of using Tib in
+the LaTeX "root file + \include-d files" situation?

+Subject: Re: Magic lines for TeX/Mf files
+
+Dan Karron <karron@karron.med.nyu.edu> asks about magic byte values
+for TeXware files.
+
+We have had the following in our UNIX systems' /etc/magic file for
+some time now:
+
+#=======================================================================
+# Local additions to the /etc/magic file
+0 short 0x1b0c Tektronix graphics file
+0 short 0xf702 TeX DVI (device-independent) file
+0 short 0xf759 TeX PK packed font file
+0 short 0xf783 TeX GF (generic font) file
+
+We no longer have .pxl files, so I didn't bother to make a magic entry
+for them. The first 32-bit word of a .pxl file contains the decimal
+value 1001, so a /etc/magic entry like
+
+0 long 0x000003e9 TeX PXL (pixel font) file
+
+should suffice.
+
+TeX source files are not easily identifiable because they can start
+with anything at all. Only if users adopt a common convention like
+
+%% This is a -*-TeX-*- file
+
+could we have a /etc/magic entry like
+
+0 string %% TeX source file
+
+This still leaves open the problem of distinguishing plain TeX from
+AmSTeX, LaTeX, SliTeX, AmSLaTeX, and LAmSTeX. I prefer to do that by
+file extensions instead, and use .tex, .ltx, .stx, .alx, .lax
+respectively.
+
+Regrettably, TeX/METAFONT .tfm files have no magic signature that can
+be used to identify them (see TeX: The Program, Section 539ff, p.
+216). I've always viewed this as a serious design flaw in TeX,
+because it is hard for a DVI driver to be distinguish a TFM file from
+random garbage.
+
+While a .tfm file does contain a checksum, it is a Metafont-generated
+checksum of the font parameters, not the .tfm file contents. The DVI
+driver can compare this against the font checksum recorded in the .dvi
+file, and issue a warning if they do not match.
+
+The only other sanity check a DVI driver can make is that the first
+word of a .tfm file contains a file length measured in 32-bit words
+that should match the actual size of the file as returned by an
+operating-system call. Even that is not reliable however, because
+some operating systems pad binary files with NULs to disk block
+boundaries. Worse, 8 parameters in the 12-word .tfm file header are
+lengths of tables that are stored later on in the file, and file
+corruption can lead to crashes of a driver when it gets an
+unreasonable value for one of these lengths, and clobbers internal
+arrays.

+Subject: Expanding user-defined macros for REVTeX compuscripts
+
+The widespread adoption of electronic submission of TeX files (more
+precisely, LaTeX with \documentstyle{revtex}) to journals of the American
+Physical Society (APS) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) poses an
+interesting problem for the handling of user-defined macros. The present
+rules for the ``REVTeX'' compuscript program state either that NO
+user-defined macros (they call them ``type 1'') are allowed (APS), or that
+only a very small number are allowed (AIP). It turns out that ``very small
+number'' means 1 or 2 (according to Peggy Sutherland of the AIP), not the
+possibly hundreds of macros that a reasonably-sized manuscript could
+naturally entail. Furthermore, NO recursive math definitions are allowed.
+
+After detailed discussions with Christopher Hamlin of the APS and Peggy
+Sutherland, I conclude that there appear to be two principal reasons for these
+stringent restrictions: (1) personnel aren't trained yet to alter TeX macros if
+necessary; (2) much more importantly, users may not be consistent in their use
+of macros. For example, consider the fragment
+
+ \def\lD{\lambda_{\rm D}}
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ The definition of~$\lD$ is ... For $\lambda_{\rm D} small...
+
+You are to imagine that the text fragments are buried deep inside the
+manuscript. Now suppose that the journal editor decides to remove the \rm
+from the definition of \lD to enforce a style rule of the journal. Simply
+changing the one-line \def does NOT have the desired effect, since the
+author sometimes typed out his original definition by hand. Thus, either
+the editorial staff would have to proofread the entire paper (very costly),
+or changes may have to be made at the proof stage. Neither possibility is
+desirable.
+
+Although I think one can still argue that the proper solution is
+to encourage REVTeX authors to use ``macro discipline,'' so that simple
+changes can be made to the macro definitions rather than having someone
+edit the entire file, the journals won't back down in the short term.
+(Furthermore, at the AIP it's even worse: They don't even run TeX on the
+REVTeX source that is submitted; they first translate it into their
+in-house Xyvision language, then edit that as necessary. Am I alone in
+thinking that this is ridiculous?)
+
+The journals, therefore, want a source file that has all user macros
+expanded. They suggest doing this with an editor, but this is tedious and
+error-prone for long, complicated documents. My alternative solution is to
+expand the macros automatically. I have written a utility, with the
+working name of XMACRO, that does so.
+
+XMACRO is an emulation of the higher-level (pre-stomach) operations of TeX
+itself. It absorbs and tokenizes source code just as TeX does (respecting
+all the rules about catcodes etc.), and expands macros as appropriate.
+What's left is a stream of TeX primitives and possibly undefined macros.
+However, instead of typesetting the primitives or complaining about
+undefined macros, XMACRO just writes their names to the output file. The
+effect is to generate a new TeX file that should be equivalent to the
+original, but that has all user-defined macros expanded. This form should
+satisfy the journals.
+
+For example, at the end of this message can be found listings of two short
+input files, xsample.src and xsample.bbl, and the file xsample.tex that was
+output by XMACRO.
+
+I am attempting to convince the REVTeX people to distribute this utility
+along with the REVTeX release. There's nothing definite yet. Meanwhile,
+as an experiment and debugging exercise that will run for ONE MONTH
+beginning with the public release of this texhax announcement, users may
+submit valid REVTeX files to me; they'll receive the expanded results back
+shortly by email. The rules are:
+
+ (1) Valid REVTeX 3.0 file only. This must be precisely as you would
+submit it to the journal, except that your macro definitions shouldn't be
+expanded. The file will first be run as-is through LaTeX. If LaTeX
+detects an error, I will probably not attempt the XMACRO expansion.
+
+ (2) One source file per document. (I.e., .bbl files must be
+inserted manually.) This is in spite of the example at the end of this
+message, which demonstrates that XMACRO can handle automatic insertion of
+the .bbl file.
+
+ (3) Please try to localize all user definitions to the start of the
+file, before the \documentstyle command.
+
+ (4) Send the file to krommes@princeton.edu as the text of a message
+with the precise subject ``XMACRO request''.
+
+ (5) EMAIL submissions ONLY. No disks!
+
+This experiment is intended to be a debugging exercise and to publicize the
+existence of this utility. I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for errors in the expanded
+file that is returned to you (although obviously I'd like to hear about
+them), delays in publication, losses of promotions or Nobel prizes, etc! I
+do certainly promise not to publish your manuscript under my name, release
+it to anyone else, or to use any of its contents unethically in any way.
+But you submit a manuscript to the experiment AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you're
+uncomfortable with any aspect of this experiment, please don't participate.
+
+XMACRO presently expands the following primitives. (There are a few
+obvious omissions such as \Afterassigmnent that will be added in the future.)

+only in upper case are indicated by (*). However, in some cases you might
+want to use the -t option, but pass a few lower-case primitives unchanged
+to the output file. To prevent XMACRO from expanding a primitive such as
+\the, say ``\undef\the''.
+
+Suggestions are welcome. If you think this utility is a good idea, lobby
+the APS and AIP:

+Subject: Revised date/place: TeX for non-American languages;
+ MF in theory and practice.
+
+I am sorry to have to announce that the proposed UK-TuG Conference in Glasgow
+will not be going ahead as planned, primarily for financial reasons. However,
+the conference _will_ take place, but at an alternative venue and time which I
+hope will prove attractive to you. The conference is now scheduled to take
+place at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (`The Country Campus of the
+University of London') during Spring, when the campus is at its best and most
+attractive.
+
+The actual dates are April 6th--8th, with the same programme as previously
+announced; April 6th is reserved for travelling, registration and the
+Conference dinner; April 7th will consist of a series of talks (with plenty of
+time for discussion) from an internationally famous panel of invited speakers,
+including Dominik Wujastyk (who together with Graham Toal is responsible for
+the authoritative UK hyphenation patterns, and who is also a Sanskrit scholar),
+Bernard Gaulle (until recently president of GUTenberg, the French-speaking TeX
+Users' Group, and an authority on good French typographic practice), and Yannis
+Haralambous (who is the author of ScholarTeX, and a renowned authority on
+MetaFont).
+
+On April 8th, two concurrent MetaFont tutorials will take place, one on
+MetaFont in Theory, led by Yannis, and one on MetaFont in Practice. The former
+will be concerned with the design and implementation of new fonts through the
+medium of MetaFont, whilst the second will be more practical and aimed at
+answering questions such as ``how do I generate all the Computer Modern fonts
+at 600 dpi for my new laser printer?''.
+
+Royal Holloway and Bedford New College is situated conveniently close to London
+Heathrow Airport, and is also served by regular fast trains from London
+Waterloo (circa 30 minutes). Accommodation will be en-suite, and all meals will
+be included in the price.
+
+Further details (including price) will be issued as soon as the approximate
+numbers are known; please send a message to the address below if you are
+interested in attending this conference and wish to be kept informed. If you
+have already let me know that you intended to attend the Glasgow conference,
+please re-confirm for the RHBNC conference in order that I may accurately
+record likely numbers.

+
+ World Wide Window on TeX
+
+
+ 14th Annual TeX Users Group Meeting July 26th - 30th, 1993
+
+***************************************************************************
+
+Aston University in Birmingham (United Kingdom) will be the venue for
+the 1993 TUG conference. Aston is the home of the `Aston Archive',
+one of the largest collections of electronic TeX paraphernalia. This
+is the first time that the annual meeting will have been held outside
+of North America.
+
+The location of the conference at one centre of the electronic web and
+its movement from North America encourage particular focus on the
+`world-wide' aspects of TeX, LaTeX and METAFONT. The marked rise in
+maturity of windowing systems (X Window system, Microsoft Windows,
+Macintosh, Atari, Amiga, etc.) also allows us to exploit more
+visually oriented methods in employing the TeX tools. It is hoped
+that there will be a contribution to the conference from the Didot
+project, further extending the range of topics to include digital
+typography and font creation.
+
+The conference will feature the normal paper presentations.
+Workshops, poster displays, courses, panels and `birds of a feather'
+sessions will also form integral components.
+
+Contributions are urgently sought in the following subject areas: -
+archives - electronic networks - formatting structured documents -
+LaTeX3 - graphical user interfaces to TeXware - non-English issues -
+non-Latin scripts - digital typography - editing structured documents
+- - styles - other typesetting systems - document views -
+

+
+Social details:
+
+The conference will take place on the Aston University campus in
+central Birmingham, with excellent travel connections. Birmingham is
+situated very conveniently for access to all parts of England,
+especially the Midlands areas including Stratford and Oxford, as well
+as much of Wales. Participants will be given details of local events
+and sightseeing suggestions, including a guide to the culinary treats
+offered by Birmingham's multi-ethnic society.
+
+Social events will include dinners, receptions, and a mystery trip to
+an unexpected face of Birmingham. Accompanying persons will be helped
+to have a rewarding time in the area, and will also be offered a
+beginners' course in TeX; this course is available as well to those
+who would like a crash course in TeX prior to the conference proper.
+
+The approximate cost of attendance at the conference will be 100
+pounds, or 250 pounds including accommodation and meals. The normal
+accommodation will be on campus in the University residences. Those
+wishing to book outside hotel accommodation, or executive
+accommodation on campus, will find details on the booking form.
+
+The normal accommodation provided will be on campus in the University
+residences, but alternative arrangements (e.g. for executive
+accommodation on campus, or hotel accommodation) are also possible;
+full details of these and other options are given on the booking form
+which is available upon request.
+
+Full computer facilities, including electronic mail and network
+contacts, will be available to participants. The rich holdings of the
+UK TeX Archive will, of course, be easily accessible.

+
+Mike Reid <mfreid@hkuxa.hku.hk> has been working with me on correcting some
+aspects of my VMS LATEX.HLP file for inclusion in the VMS Help Librarian.
+The *real* meat of this announcement, though, is that Mike has ported this
+file to a format compatible with Microsoft Windows (which is about the
+nicest help utility around), as well as provided a few other utilities for
+the Windows environment which may be of interest to users of LaTeX.
+Attached are (1) Mike's announcement, (2) the FILESERV description file for
+these packages, and (3) very brief information on how to retrieve the
+updated VMS Help file.

+MS-Windows LaTeX Help and microEMACS Interface
+
+January 14, 1993.
+
+Michael F. Reid <mfreid@hkuxa.hku.hk>
+>From April 1993 <mfr@phys.canterbury.ac.nz>
+
+I have uploaded:
+ LATEXHLP.ZIP A LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows
+ VMS2WINH.ZIP Conversion from VMS help to Windows Help
+ QH2WINH.ZIP Conversion from QHELP to Windows Help
+ MEWLTX10.ZIP microEMACS for Windows LaTeX interface
+to Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), directory [FILESERV.MSWIN-LATEX]
+
+The LaTeX help file is a translation of a VAX/VMS help file collated by
+George Greenwade. The conversion program is in the VMS2WINH.ZIP file, in
+case you want to recompile the file with your own additions.
+
+NOTE: You need the MicroSoft Help Compiler (HC) to recompile the help
+file. This comes with many Windows programming toolkits.
+
+A conversion from QHELP (a DOS freeware help engine) to Windows help is
+in the QH2WINH.ZIP file. This is similar to the vms2winh program, and is
+posted here because I know Peter Flynn is working on a TeX help system
+based on QHELP.
+
+##### LaTeX microEMACS Interface #####
+
+The MEWLTX10.ZIP file contains code for a microEMACS for Windows
+Interface. This allows you to insert LaTeX commands, insert template
+files, run TeX processes, parse errors in log files, call up help, and
+so on, using the menus. This is still under development, so I would
+appreciate positive or negative comments.
+***************************************************************************
+ MSWIN-LATEX
+ -----------
+The MSWIN-LATEX package includes UUENCODEd ZIP archives containing Michael
+Reid's LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows and microEMACS for MicroSoft
+Windows LaTeX interface.
+
+To retrieve the 3 part distribution of the LaTeX help file, include:
+ SENDME MSWIN-LATEX.LATEXHLP*
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
+To retrieve the 2 part distribution of the microEMACS for Windows LaTeX
+interface, include:
+ SENDME MSWIN-LATEX.MEWLTX10*
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV.
+
+The ZIP files upon which this distribution is based, as well two other
+utilities created by Reid are available for anonymous ftp retrieval on
+Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.MSWIN-LATEX]:
+ LATEXHLP.ZIP A LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows
+ VMS2WINH.ZIP Conversion from VMS help to Windows Help
+ QH2WINH.ZIP Conversion from QHELP to Windows Help
+ MEWLTX10.ZIP microEMACS for Windows LaTeX interface
+
+The VMS help file is available from FILESERV (in 4 parts) by including:
+ SENDME VMS-LATEX-HELP
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV. The file LATEX.HLP (VMS Help
+Librarian file) is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord in
+[FILESERV.VMS-LATEX-HELP].

+MeX, version 1.03 on halina.univ.gda.pl
+=======================================
+
+What is MeX?
+
+The Mex package is an adaptation of PLAIN and LaTeX formats
+to the Polish language and to the Polish printing customs.
+MeX is bilingual. You can switch between languages with the
+\language\english and \language\polish commands.
+
+The package contains:
+- - the set of macro files, called MeX and LaMeX. These are
+ the Polish versions of the PLAIN and LaMeX formats,
+ respectively
+- - hyphenation rules for the Polish language
+- - METAFONT programs for the Polish letters and
+ quotation marks.
+
+The authors are:
+- - formats:
+ Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski & Marek Ry\'cko
+- - hyphenation patterns:
+ Hanna Ko\l{}odziejska & Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski & Marek Ry\'cko
+- - fonts:
+ Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski & Marek Ry\'cko
+ consultant: Roman Tomaszewski
+
+Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski and Marek Ry\'cko were awarded on
+EuroTeX'92 with the Cathy Booth Prize for their work in
+the developement of Polish TeX.

+Subject: Pandora LaTeX style file
+
+Enclosed is a style file for LaTeX which uses the Pandora and Euler fonts
+instead of Computer Modern. I find the heavier weight of Pandora ideal for
+screen previewing - you get a much more readable screen, with only slightly
+fewer characters per page. Note that this requires the new font selection
+scheme to be installed.
+
+Comments/enhancements are welcome. Has anyone created a caps/small caps
+virtual font for Pandora? Or any other design sizes?
+
+ Martin.

+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler{1}
+ {eur}{m}{n}
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler{2}

+
+% We also add a special math group to the euler version which
+% contains the redesigned math symbols. Since we don't assume that
+% this version has to live in coexistance with the `normal' or `bold'
+% version we don't add this group to the other versions.
+\new@mathgroup\euex@group
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler\euex@group
+ {euex}{m}{n}
+%
+% To set up the math version properly we have to reset some
+% \verb+\mathcode+s. We have to take, for example, digits in math
+% from the math group number one, i.e.\ from the euler cursive font.
+% If we do this globally switching back to, let's say, \LaTeX{}s
+% normal version will produces an undesired effect: we will then get
+% oldstyle numerals in math.
+%
+% We will leave this problem open at the moment until there is more
+% experience with this new font selection scheme. After all, it does
+% not seem a very good idea to use such incompatible math versions
+% together in one document.
+%
+% So here we are, re-arranging some of the internal tables:
+\mathcode`\0="7130
+\mathcode`\1="7131
+\mathcode`\2="7132
+\mathcode`\3="7133
+\mathcode`\4="7134
+\mathcode`\5="7135
+\mathcode`\6="7136
+\mathcode`\7="7137
+\mathcode`\8="7138
+\mathcode`\9="7139
+%
+% And here are some example for using the symbols from the special
+% extension font. We use \verb+\hexnumber@+ to get the unknown assignment to
+% \verb+\euex@group+ as a hexadecimal number into the macro \verb+\@tempa+.
+\edef\@tempa{\hexnumber@\euex@group}
+\mathchardef\intop="1\@tempa 52
+\mathchardef\ointop="1\@tempa 48
+\mathchardef\sum="1\@tempa 50
+\mathchardef\prod="1\@tempa 51
+%
+% Since numbers for footnotes are text numbers and not math
+% formulas we prefere shapes comming from Concrete roman (like
+% 12345) instead of $12345$. So we have to change the footnote mark
+% generation to avoid using math mode.
+\def\@makefnmark{\raise 1ex\hbox{\scriptsize\@thefnmark}}

+%
+\mathversion{euler}

+%% switch to Pandora Roman family:

+%%% docstring = "This file is the main file for the ucthesis
+%%% style, which is intended to meet the requirements
+%%% for University of California Ph.D. dissertations.
+%%% It is based on the standard report.sty as
+%%% modified by Mittelbach and Schopf in Jan 1992.
+%%% The primary differences are (1) the use of pseudo-
+%%% double-spacing, except in certain special
+%%% environments; and (2) the use of a 6 inch line
+%%% with 4em paragraph indentation.
+%%%
+%%% I know of no bugs in this implementation,
+%%% but would be happy to hear of any problems
+%%% that arise with it.
+%%%
+%%% This version fixes a bug in the previous
+%%% version of 20 Jun 1988. The bug was that
+%%% "draft" optional mode didn't work because of
+%%% problems in handling optional arguments.
+%%% This file does not seem to work with earlier
+%%% versions of LaTeX (pre-Jan 1992).
+
+I think I'm just about caught up with submissions and apologize for the
+delay in getting this into a public area. I have placed the files so they
+are accessible from FILESERV as well as from Niord. Also, the prior
+version of ucthesis.sty (STY.UCTHESIS*) has been removed from our style
+directory. The description file from FILESERV follows.

+% end doublecol.tex
+
+These macros allows changing from one to two-columns back and forth
+using \begindoublecolumns ... \enddoublecolumns.
+The main problem with this simple approach to column balancing
+is that insertions such as topinsert, midinsert, pageinsert,
+footnotes, etc. are not handled correctly. Thus it is of limited utility
+for preparing two-column camera-ready technical papers, which require
+substantial manual tweeking.
+
+Question: are there 2-col macros with a similar simplicity and
+functionality, compatible with plain.tex, and which handle
+insertions correctly?
+
+When I posed this question on Jan 1992 I got two replies, for which
+I want the again thank the senders. One set of macros handled
+insertions correctly but unfortunately did not allow 1-2-1 column
+switchback, which is important in camera ready papers for placement
+of wide Figures and Tables. The other reply included multicolumn
+macros as part of a complex package and I was unable to work through it
+to extract what I needed in a reasonable time.
+
+I believe such a macro set would be useful to many technical paper
+writers; therefore I encourage wizards to post solutions within
+the stated simplicity and functionality constraints.

+Subject: UnixTeX
+
+This message may be addressed to a minority of the readers of this
+bulletin, but it is a significant and growing minority.
+
+I must regretfully announce that under present revenue projections,
+UnixTeX is technically bankrupt, having drifted into default on
+at least two occasions in the past six months. We have a grand
+total of two orders for 1993. We will go on as long as we are
+allowed to, but that may not be very long.
+
+UnixTeX is not supported by the University of Washington. Quite the
+reverse. The University of Washington seizes a substantial percentage
+of all UnixTeX income for ``overhead'', and since that ``overhead''
+must be paid before all other obligations, we will probably be shut
+down absolutely when the next assessment for ``overhead'' comes due.
+
+At that time, all consultation services by email or by telephone will
+cease, and all Unix-specific tape distributions will also cease. An
+FTP archive of the UnixTeX distribution will be made available until
+University of Washington accountants require its removal, but it will
+be frozen in its present state. There will be no further upgrades or
+corrections to this file. It may be that some site, possibly in
+Europe, can take over the work of tape distribution, but that will be
+out of our hands.
+
+For four years I have predicted at TUG meetings that free,
+unrestricted FTP distribution of UnixTeX would lead to this result. A
+few generous supporters, and an unexpected increase in tape orders
+kept it from happening last year, but the crisis has been accelerated
+this year by several major hardware failures.
+
+The nine-year old SUN-1 and eight-year old SUN-2 on which the
+distribution was resident have become too unstable to be of any
+further use. CPUs, disks, controllers and our last 9-track drive have
+all failed. UnixTeX put together a SUN-3 server out of second-hand
+and salvage parts, and this was the source of all tape distributions
+for two years. But the cost of this new hardware eliminated any
+balance that UnixTeX had in reserve. The 600 MB SMD disk on that
+machine has now failed, and in the inauguration-day windstorm, a power
+surge blew the formatting board on our last tape drive.
+
+The source of our financial problem lies in the fact that
+four-fifths of the calls for compilation assistance and similar
+support are now from sites which picked up the software by FTP. While
+a handful of FTP users have been touchingly generous -- sending in
+amounts from their own pockets, and while we acknowledge that many
+have helped in other ways -- taking the time to summarize system-specific
+problems encountered on varieties of machines we have no access to, the
+majority of sites that retrieve UnixTeX via FTP benefit without cost
+to themselves, from a service supported in the main by TeX users who
+have absolutely no FTP access and who therefore must obtain the
+distribution via tape orders. We strongly support the principles of
+the Free Software Foundation; and as long as we are around, we shall
+honor our association with those principles by continuing to make all
+elements of the distribution available for FTP. But as the distribution's
+survival rests with the ever-diminishing number of sites that order
+the distribution on tapes directly from us, and not by FTP, we must warn
+that the associated work of organization, documentation and first-level
+consultancy is probably about to cease.
+
+We have two proposals for interim support in preparation now, but it
+is all too likely that we will not be around even if those proposals
+succeed. Supposing that we do get through the immediate crisis,
+however, if UnixTeX is worth keeping alive, it will have to survive on
+some sort of subscription system, like National Public Radio. It is
+improper to solicit funds even for a non-profit activity over the
+Internet, so we cannot do that here. It is, however, worth noting
+that UnixTeX survived last year in part on some donations that were
+made to the University of Washington and specifically earmarked for
+the support of UnixTeX. It is our understanding that such donations
+provide a tax exemption.

+I would like to be able to include some tables, horizontally on a

+
+Also (this is a repeat question that I thought I might try one more
+time), I would like to be able to number equations, theorems, figures,
+etc as "chapter.page.number on the page". It's close. If you use
+the pagenumber in there, most often the first equation on a page will
+be numbered with the previous page number (and in the .aux file, it
+does know what page it's one). Does anyone out there know how to
+do this. Thank you.

+DVIWindo shows the preview (in either TIFF or EPSI) format when an inserted
+EPS figure comes with a preview (for printing to PS printers it passes
+through the actual EPS data, of course).
+
+To use EPSF.TEX and PSFIG.TEX, though, you need to get them to step

+case of TIFF format previews. Contact me for modifications that do this.

+Subject: substituting PS fonts for CM with dvitps; possible?
+
+Having generated a dvi file after including the following in the
+preamble of a latex file:
+
+\font\hlv=psmhlv at 12pt
+\font\hlvb=psmhlvb at 12pt
+\font\hlvo=psmhlvo at 12pt
+\font\hlvbo=psmhlvbo at 12pt
+
+I get incorrect font substitution by dvitps when trying to print it.
+I believe the problem is missing .pk files, but I'm not sure what to
+do since PS is Adobe proprietary. Has anyone had luck with
+ghostscript from the FSF or should I use some other dvi to ps
+software. I often see posted info about dvips, a PD or copylefted
+program which sounds really good, but when I downloaded TeX from
+washington.edu, all I saw was dvitps, which has been great, except I
+couldn't get the full manual as several tex include/input files were
+missing and the author does not respond to email. I would like to
+install a more robust version if possible. I'm open to suggestions as
+well as info on how difficult it would be to build dvips from scratch.
+Note: I have the latest version of TeX and LaTeX, which were something
+of pain to build, but it was worth it.
+
+There is often a delay when posting responses to this mailing list as
+I only receive a digest every once in a while, so please email me
+directly and I will post a summary. Muchas gracias (thank you in

+Subject: LaTeX macros for classified reports
+
+I'd like to be able to generate classified documents using LaTeX. In
+the archives I have found only one relevant macro, secret.sty. It
+addresses paragraph marking, notably for the continuation of a
+paragraph onto the next page. I don't think its solution (putting the
+paragraph marking in the left margin) is very attractive, and
+fortunately we've been relieved of that requirement.
+
+However, secret.sty doesn't address {\em page} marking at all. Has
+anyone developed macros to generate appropriate markings at beginning
+of each paragraph, and also at the top and bottom of the page (but
+perhaps not for the continuation of a paragraph)? Of course, the page
+classification should be the highest of any of the classifications of
+the paragraphs on the page, {\em including} any continuation from a
+previous page, and any float (figure or table).
+
+Thanks.

+11:39:08 GMT), Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl> posted his newest version

+again, if you don't have this style, GET IT). As this version is not (more
+correctly, does not appear to be) readily available on the standard
+archives, I am attempting to post this to as wide an audience as possible.
+
+I have taken the liberty of placing the documentation file
+(fancyheadings.doc, as posted to comp.text.tex) after the style file macros
+with an \endinput (the idea is to keep the documentation within the style
+itself for reference purposes). This combined file is now available at

+(192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.STY]. Prior versions of the separated style

+Subject: New release of greektex
+
+A new version of greektex has been posted in the following two sites:
+
+ math.ucla.edu 128.97.4.254
+ in the directory pub/moschovakis/greektex
+
+ University of Stuttgart russoft server 129.69.1.12
+ in the directory tex/languages/greek/moschovakis
+
+greektex is a package of public domain programs which make it easy to
+use the well known Greek text fonts of Silvio Levy in Plain TeX or
+LaTeX with the full functionality of these sets of macros, exactly as
+we use them to process English files. In fact greektex understands
+files with mixed Greek and English text, so that it is particularly
+useful for the typesetting of Greek scientific class notes, articles
+and books: these typically contain many English words---names,
+references, scientific terms traditionally given in both Greek and
+English when first introduced, etc. Greektex can be installed in any
+system with a full TeX implemnetation and it contains all the necessary
+programs for creating mixed Greek-English files (pleasantly) on a PC
+with a VGA screen and (barely tolerably) on other machines.
+
+The most notable improvement over the first distribution of greektex
+two years ago is that the new system has a classical (polytoniko) mode
+in which classical Greek can be typeset with its full set of aspiration
+marks, accents, etc. The modern (monotoniko) mode has also been
+improved substantially, primarily by allowing friendlier typesetting of
+accented capitals, the diairesis and the Greek quotation marks (which
+have been added). The package includes a complete set of all preloaded
+and loaded-on-demand LaTeX fonts at 300 DPI, including the "Greek
+italic" font which now looks reasonably good. It also includes the
+complete set of metafont files and scaling programs used to produce
+these fonts, so that someone with a running version of METAFONT can
+compile them at any pointsize and resolution.
+
+The starting point for greektex is the fact that English and Greek are
+disjoint languages (no common letters in the internal coding), so their
+union can be considered as a single language: there is no confusion in
+hyphenation, for example, since no word is both Greek and English. The
+system simply replaces the Computer Modern fonts CMR, CMBX, etc. used
+by TeX by extended fonts GECMR, GECMBX, etc. which have exactly the
+same letters coded in the first 128 ASCII characters but incorporate
+the Greek letters in the high-bit ASCII characters >127. In doing this
+you do not change at all the guts of format files, so that e.g. it is
+easy to predict how greektex output of Greek LaTeX files will
+look---exactly like LaTeX output, with Greek letters. There is a
+conceptual simplicity to this, but also (and more to the point) it
+makes it possible to use existing systems of macros (like LaTeX and its
+many styles) on documents which contain mixed Greek and English with no
+conflicts. The greektex version of LaTeX has complete LaTeX
+functionality in the monononiko mode.
+
+The polytoniko mode requires the use of a set of macros which make some
+characters active and allow the "friendly" entering of aspiration
+marks, accents, etc. It also appears to enjoy complete LaTeX
+functionality (as far as I have been able to test it), it can jandle
+e.g. footnotes, tabbing, etc. It is clear, however, that reasonable
+care must be exercised: one cannot enter math mode while the
+\polytoniko command is in effect, for example, since the characters >,
+<, = and " are active---and do not have their usual, math meaning. The
+document greektex.doc explains in some detail the precautions needed to
+insure (essentially) full LaTeX functionality in the polytoniko mode.
+
+It has been argued that one cannot build a fully hyphenating system with
+both English and classical Greek using 256 character fonts, because the
+128 high-bit characters left free after English is coded do not suffice
+to code as ligatures all the combinations of letter+accent+aspiration
+mark needed by classical Greek. greektex solves this problem by coding
+the most commonly occuring combinations as ligatures and depending on the
+TeX \accent primitive for the rest. This works much better than one
+might think:
+
+ greektex applies the hyphenation algorithm to
+ all words which do not have either
+ (1) an aspirated peripvmenh or
+ (2) an accented letter with an iota subscript.
+
+The words in category (1) have at most two syllables and rarely need to
+be hyphenated, and there are just two few of those in category (2) to
+cause any problem. Since Greek hyphenation is governed by flexible and
+easy to code rules, it turns out that with this scheme, classical Greek
+is hyphenated by greektex at least as successfully as TeX hyphenates
+English.
+
+A complete description of the system is given in the README file
+and the manual "greektex.doc" included in the package. What follows is
+the INDEX of the package.
+
+INDEX of greektex-----------------------------------------------------
+
+(1) README General information and instructions for installing
+ the system.

+
+In a message dated Fri, 22 Jan 93 09:49:39 -0800 addressed to the
+ELLHNIKA Distribution List for ???????? TeX Users <ELLHNIKA@EARN.DHDURZ1>,
+Yiannis Moschovakis <ynm@EDU.UCLA.MATH> announced a new version of
+greektex.
+
+In the UK TeX Archive at Aston University, Moschovakis' original INDEX
+and README files have been renamed to 00CONTENTS.TXT and 00README.TXT
+repsectively. The file pkunzip.exe has NOT been put into the archive, because
+it was felt that anyone using the archive who was PC-based would already have a
+suitable program for unzipping the files. Implementations of unzip for other
+architectures also exist.
+
+All binary files are stored, as is necessary in this archive, as
+variable-length records, without carriage control, and with a record length of
+512 bytes. Access through NIFTP over Janet can transfer these files in binaary
+mode to Vax and non-Vax alike; transfers to a Vax using /CODE=FAST wil result
+in a file of the same format, which will need to be changed to fixed-length
+records by means of the VMS CONVERT utility. Access by anonymous ftp over the
+Internet, by non-Vaxen, will succeed; users of intelligent VMS-based
+implementations of ftp, such as MultiNet's, will also have to apply the CONVERT
+utility.

+
+My thanks to Stefan A. Muehlenweg <muehlenw@samhh.hanse.de> for pointing
+out the PM-TeX and EPMTeX packages for OS/2, which have been added to our
+archives. These are imported from the OS/2 ftp archives at
+ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Attached are the description files.
+
+- --George
+
+ PMTEX
+ -----
+The PMTEX package includes the files for Guillaume Schiltz's PM-TeX (v.
+2.0; 5 December 1992). PM-TeX is A TeX-Shell for OS/2 Presentation-Manager
+to control programs used everyday for the TeX typesetting system such as
+editors, TeX-interpreters, previewer and printerdrivers. PM-TeX is
+conceived to maintain the emTeX-programs but can easily be configured for
+other TeX-systems. The configuration of TeX can be performed by using the
+setting-windows of PM-TeX. PM-TeX opens for each program a new session to
+which can be switched from the main menu. So concurrency and easy support
+of full-screen sessions is given. DOS and OS/2 programs are supported.
+DOS-Programs are executed in a DOS-window.
+
+The files are distributed in a 2-part UUENCODEd ZIP archive. To retrieve
+these
+files, include:
+ SENDME PMTEX
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
+The ZIP file, PMTEX-2_0.ZIP is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
+Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.PMTEX].

+Subject: TeX font naming scheme
+
+I have released version 1.3 of ``my'' font naming scheme for TeX fonts.
+You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/fontname.tar.Z.
+
+I will also send it to you by email if you cannot ftp.
+
+It is in Texinfo format, so you will need the TeX macros in
+the file texinfo.tex (available with most GNU programs) to be able to
+print it; the directory pub/tex/fontname has a texinfo.tex, as well as
+all the individual files.
+
+The rest of that directory contains files showing the naming scheme
+applied to Adobe, Linotype, Monotype, Computer Modern, and AMS fonts.
+
+The changes since version 1.2 are primarily just additional fonts, and a
+few additional variants.
+
+I am happy to receive additions, criticisms, or other comments.

+Subject: How to acheive user control of the DVI filename
+
+We create a big book with long articles and a little book with portions of the
+long articles so our TeX file looks something like:
+
+\ifnum\BigBookOrLittleBook = 1
+This stuff is for the long article and goes into great detail.
+\else
+See our Big Book for details and formulae on this principle.
+\fi
+And this stuff goes in both books.
+
+
+We run TeX twice on the file querying the user for \BigBookOrLittleBook, but
+this results in two DVI files with the same name. Is there some way to
+manually open the DVI file specifying a name? For our needs, they would be
+named:
+\jobname_Big.DVI and \jobname_Little.DVI

+Subject: Re: UnixTeX
+
+The demise of UnixTeX would impoverish the whole community. Perhaps
+we can generate some ideas as well as some funding. Here are some of
+my ideas:
+
+Comparing UnixTeX to the GNU project, I am inclined to see two big
+strategic pieces missing from UnixTeX: Cygnus (and similar
+organizations) and really comprehensive distribution services,
+especially on CDROM.
+
+Is it possible to create companies which provide TeX-related services
+while improving TeX in the way that Cygnus Support et al do for GNU
+software? Is there any advantage (Pierre's letter suggested some
+major disadvantages) to having UnixTeX at the U. of Washington?
+Pierre mentions that many FTP users call in with questions and
+requests for help - those are potential customers for support
+services. Charging for services is entirely consistent with Free
+Software philosophy and benefits both service provider and customer.
+
+The FSF has recently made available a popular CDROM (which,
+ironically, contains TeX). I think that there would be a market for a
+CDROM which contained a much more complete set of TeX and TeX-related
+software (the various WEBs, tons of fonts, support for many languages
+and special styles, etc.) and directory trees already compiled and
+configured for various popular machine/OS combinations. (The
+community could certainly provide such directory trees.) Once such a
+CDROM existed, one could even ask the FSF to drop TeX from their next
+CDROM. The questions are: How much of a market is there, and how to
+get the initial seed money to produce the disk?
+
+Has there been any attempt to get some donations from various laser
+printer manufacturers to support bundling drivers for their printers
+in the distribution?
+
+Finally, I haven't seen an order form for UnixTeX for awhile (maybe
+because I've been off and on the list) and would like to see one.
+
+Thanks,
+

+
+a start has been made in this direction by Prime Time Freeware in
+their next CDROM issue. On this will be included a mirror of the UK
+TeX Archive as of December 1992. The directory structure of this
+archive implements the current recommendations of the TUG working
+party on archives, and the set includes all TeX packages, macros,
+fonts, support programs etc which had been located at the time the
+copy was made. It is not 100% complete or uptodate, but it is closer, I
+believe, to the ideal state than any previous such collection. Within
+the setup are included "shrink-wrapped" TeXs for sparc-based Unix,
+DOS, OS/2, Macintosh and Atari systems.
+
+there is an awful lot more to do to get the world's TeX archives in
+synch, but its in hand, and the work includes worrying about workable
+systems as well as source archives.
+
+the sales of the upcoming CD (it includes much else besides TeX) will
+be of interest. my personal feeling is that TUG should try to raise
+money for an annual issue of a dedicated CD, but in the meanwhile the
+semi-commercial vendors are there!

+The~U.K. <TeX> Users' Group (<UK-TuG>) are pleased to announce their first-ever
+multi-day conference, which~will take place at Royal Holloway and Bedford New
+College (University of~London) in~Egham, Surrey, between April~6th and~8th
+1993. The Conference, which has two themes --- <TeX>~for non-English
+languages, and~<MetaFont> in~Theory and Practice --- is timed to co-incide with
+the start of Spring, when the campus is at its best.
+
+The~first day (April~6th) is reserved for registration and the conference
+banquet; April~7th is devoted to <TeX>, and will include papers from
+an~international panel of invited speakers, including Bernard Gaulle, Yannis
+Haralambous and Dominik Wujastyk. Bernard~is past-president of GUTenberg
+(the~French-speaking <TeX> Users' Group), and an~authority on good French
+typographic practice; Yannis~is a~renowned authority on <MetaFont> and exotic
+fonts, and~is the author of the ``Scholar<TeX>'' package; and~Dominik is
+co-author (with Graham Toal) of the definitive U.K. hyphenation patterns,
+as~well as being a Sanskrit scholar and linguist. There~will be ample time for
+questions in addition to the formal papers. April~8th is <MetaFont> day:
+there~will be two concurrent tutorials, one~entitled `<MetaFont> in Theory',
+led~by Yannis, in~which the theme will be the design and implementation of fonts
+through the medium of <MetaFont>, and~the second entitled `<MetaFont> in
+Practice', in~which the more practical (but equally important) aspects of the
+use of <MetaFont> (such~as how to build a~complete set of Computer Modern fonts
+for a new laser printer) will be addressed.
+
+Booking~is now taking place for this event, which~will be limited to
+a~maximum of fifty persons; the~Conference fee (<pounds>80-00) includes the
+Conference banquet, which~takes place after Registration on April~6th,
+lunch~for April~7th \& 8th, and~attendance at all lectures plus the tutorial of
+choice; optional~items include {\it en-suite\/} accommodation at <pounds>28-50
+per night (available for up to three nights), and~evening dinner for the second
+and third days of the Conference. Early~booking is advised, as~this is
+expected to be a~very popular event. To~reserve a~place for the Conference,
+please~complete the form below and return it together with cheque (made payable

+Subject: TeX-related Gopher services
+
+Norm Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu> has been developing an admirable gopher
+service on ibis.cs.umass.edu (port 70) and Sebastian Rahtz
+<spqr@minster.york.ac.uk> has undertaken the heroic efforts necesary to
+create a usable gopher interface on ftp.tex.ac.uk (port 70) to the UK TeX
+archives available from his site (an interface in addiition to ftp which I
+hope to get fully installed to point at our archives as soon as everything
+is in place on our new machine; must visit with Sebastian further about
+this, as well as a few other topics). Possibly there are others focusing
+on TeX-related items.
+
+Please allow me to add "my" gopher on Niord to this list (Niord.SHSU.edu,
+port 70). I have a few items which are locally maintained, a few items
+from Norm's host, and a link to Sebastian's host.
+
+Niord's root menu is:

+ 13. Weather Forecasts (National Weather Service; US)/
+ 14. Weather Underground (University of Michigan) <TEL>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+and the menu associaed with item 9 is:

+ 2. EconBib (LaTeX/BibTeX styles for economics)/
+ 3. Essential LaTeX/

+ 10. TeX Index (text and WAIS indexed)/
+ 11. The Canonical list of MetaFont fonts.
+ 12. UK TeX Archive/
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Most of the items Tim included in yesterday's post listing the available
+TeX tutorials are there, as well as the various FAQ's and David Jone's TeX
+Index. In addition to the text of them, Norm has WAIS indexed(!) the FAQ's
+and the TeX Index -- you can include a search word and you get the
+information directly (many thanks, Norm!).
+
+If you are on the Internet and don't have access to a gopher client, you
+really ought to get one -- item 7 on Niord's main menu points to the root
+directory at Minnesota where these are available (or, preferably, use ftp
+to boombox.micro.umn.edu). The clients are amazingly simple to build,
+install, and use.
+
+Gopher is a truly amazing tool; with the extensions provided by Norm and
+Sebastian, it becomes an invaluable TeX reference tool. We also support a
+(highly overburdened on a far too small machine) public access gopher
+client which you can use by telnet on Scrooge.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.7) --
+use the username "gopher" (all lowercase, without the quotes) if you'd like
+to utilize it (but a client on your end is highly preferred for more than a
+few reasons).
+

+Subject: LexiTeX: citation macro package
+
+This is to announce a new macro package for typesetting citations.
+I am a neophyte (TeX-age about six months), but I have sweat bullets
+over this package, and learned a lot about TeX in the process of
+putting it together. I hope that other find it useful.
+
+I call the package LexiTeX, because it was originally conceived
+as a means of streamlining the typesetting of legal citations, because
+but it should be of equal value for other types of writing as well,
+with a tweak here and there.
+
+The essential features of LexiTeX are as follows:
+
+ (1) Citations are entered as a set of arguments
+to an initial declaration command (e.g. \newbook...).
+
+ (2) The declaration command for a given type of
+citation governs the typefaces used for setting the arguments
+of the citation. Two typefaces (one standard, one specially
+selected by \\...\\) are defined for each of the first three
+arguments or parsed elements of citations (i.e. author, title,
+cite-first-part). In most cases, the user therefore enters only
+the argument text, without worrying about selecting the typeface
+explicitly.
+
+ (3) A nickname is assigned to each source when it is
+first declared. This nickname is used thereafter to refer to
+the source (i.e. \dickens). This will expand into a short-form
+citation or cross-reference that accords with the style rules of
+A Uniform System of Citation (i.e. {\em supra} note 10, {\em id.},
+et cetera). The document can therefore be freely edited without
+fretting over cross-references.
+
+ (4) Specific page numbers may be referred to, and these
+will be incorporated into the citation in the proper style.
+For example, \dickens+{23} will expand into something like
+``{\sc C. Dickens}, {\em supra} note 10 at 23'', or {\em Id.}
+at 23, depending on context.
+
+ (5) Tables of cases, statutes, articles and books are
+generated automatically, in the same typefaces used in the main
+text. Most of TeX's special characters (i.e. \=, etc.) are
+disabled during the file-write, and will not cause problems.
+
+If anyone is interested in taking a look at the LexiTeX manual
+and playing with the package itself, I can post a uuencoded
+encryption via email.

+Subject: web2c 5.851d available
+
+I have released a new version of web2c, the port of the basic TeX
+project web programs (TeX, Metafont, GFtoPK, etc.) to Unix. You can get
+it by ftp from:
+
+ (Boston) ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{web,web2c}.tar.Z
+
+Soon it will be available from:
+
+ (California) ics.uci.edu:TeX/{web,web2c}.tar.Z
+ (Germany) ftp.th-darmstadt.de:pub/tex/src/web2c/{web,web2c}.tar.Z
+
+The master web files haven't changed, but the directory organization
+has. It is therefore simplest to retrieve and unpack the new web.tar.Z;
+otherwise, you will have to rearrange the web files yourself.
+
+A summary of the changes is below. Send bug reports to me.
+
+I've also updated my modified xdvi and dvips which use the same path
+searching code. They are on ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex also, as
+dvipsk.tar.Z and xdvik.tar.Z.
+
+The web2c distribution contains only the basic TeX system programs -- no
+fonts, no macros, etc. See the file FTP in the web2c distribution for
+where to get these things. Also, the Northwest Computing Support Center
+has a complete Unix TeX tape, and provides support services.
+
+NWCSC is supported only by the revenues from the preparation and
+distribution of tapes, and is required to be fully self-supporting. It
+receives no support from the University of Washington. I urge you to
+order a tape or make a donation if you can, so that NWCSC can afford to
+continue to organize and distribute Unix-flavored TeX. Email
+elizabeth@u.washington.edu for details.
+
+Thanks to the many people who contributed to this release.

+
+* A file `texfonts.map' allows arbitrary mapping of font names (as given
+ to, for instance, \font) to filenames.
+
+* Metafont & TeX:
+ - If a .tex, .tfm, or .mf file can't be found, MakeTeX{TeX,TFM,MF} is
+ invoked before giving up, as in dvips' MakeTeXPK.
+ - Sharable format/base files load faster on LittleEndian machines.
+ - TEXMFOUTPUT is only used for those files which can't be written in
+ the current directory, instead of all files after the first such.
+ Its usage is also reflected in the `... written on ...' messages at
+ the end of the run.
+ - If the DISPLAY environment variable is set, Metafont assumes you are
+ running under X11 for the purposes of online output (instead of
+ relying on the TERM or MFTERM envvar).
+ - Checks for write errors on DVI/GF output.
+ - Unusual glue values no longer make TeX dump core on some systems.
+
+* BibTeX:
+ - The cross-reference feature works as documented (I had foolishly
+ changed the default value of min_crossrefs to eliminate it).
+ - New option -min-crossrefs=<number> to change it dynamically.
+ - New option -verbose; without it, normal reportage is eliminated.
+ - Maximum number of .bib files increased to 100.
+ - Non-printable-ASCII characters in .bib files are preserved.
+
+* TeXware:
+ - tftopl adds a default extension `.tfm' to the input file if necessary.
+
+* web2c:
+ - Unsigned types are used where possible to represent Pascal
+ subranges. Among other things, this eliminates a system dependency
+ in creating format/base files (small_number was defined as `schar',
+ which varies between systems).
+
+* configuration:
+ - Unpacks into web2c-<version> instead of src-<version>.*.
+ - site.h merged into lib/c-auto.h.in and ./Makefile.in.
+ - sed is used instead of patch to make the ``small'' change files.
+ - sed is used instead of ed to make the trip/trap files.
+ - The configure script looks in more directories for the X libraries
+ and include files, and is generated from the latest version of Autoconf.
+ - mfware and texware directories merged into the others.
+ - The web2c version is defined in one place, so system information can
+ be added to the banners more easily.
+
+* Makefiles:
+ - Makefiles in subdirectories are created by configure.
+ - $(srcdir) (i.e., compiling in a different directory) is closer to working.
+ - Stamp files are not used at the top level, or for {tex,mf}/convert.
+ - New targets install-data and install-exec, to only install
+ architecture-(in)dependent files.
+
+* PROBLEMS.W2C has some notes on compiling and using these programs
+ under DOS, contributed by melvin@math.psu.edu.
+
+* The man pages have been significantly updated and improved by
+ beebe@math.utah.edu.

+
+(Based on fancycites.sty and windex.tex)
+Author: Frank Buchholz, Dortmund, Germany, Dec. 1992
+email: buchholz@lusty.informatik.uni-dortmund.de
+
+Main purpose:
+ Add reference-page-list to bibliography-items.
+ This is done by using the index-facility.
+
+ Am Ende der Literaturangaben wird jeweils eine Liste der Seiten
+ angef"ugt, auf denen zitiert wird. Diese Liste wird, ebenso wie der
+ Index, mit dem Programm "makeindex" erstellt. Daf"ur ben"otigt
+ "makeindex" die Datei "citesidx.isty".
+
+Files:
+ README This file
+ CITESIDX.STY Style-File used by LaTeX
+ CITESIDX.ISTY Style-file used by 'makeindex'. Every char-group
+ ( A, B, C, ... ) is started with a header.
+ If your makeindex-programm doesn't understand this,
+ use the following file instead.
+ CITESIDX1.ISTY Style-file used by 'makeindex'
+
+Documentation:
+ see CITESIDX.STY
+
+Usage:
+ latex <file>
+ bibtex <file> % if neccesary
+ makeindex -s makeindex.isty <file>
+ latex <file>
+ latex <file>
+
+Why use file CITESIDX.ISTY?
+ The program "makeindex" has to write entries like the following
+ \item \indexciteitem{<key>}{<pageno-list>}
+ into the *.ind-file if it recognizes entries like
+ \indexentry{<key>@\indexciteitem{<key>}}{<pageno>}
+ in the *.idx-file. The latter entries are produced by the
+ \cites-commands.
+
+ Notice that the pageno-list is enclosed in brackets, because
+ the command \indexciteitem takes two parameters.
+
+Hint:
+ If you change file "makeindex.isty" to get an other index-layout or
+ if you like to use an other program than "makeindex" to produce the
+ file <name>.ind, take care that the page-list have to be enclosed in
+ brackets.

+
+Well, it would depend upon which implementation of TeX you might be
+using. The PD VMS implementation of TeX 3.141 accepts a command-line
+qualifier /OUTPUT= (or maybe it's /DVIFILE=) that would permit this
+control *from outside TeX*.
+
+I believe it's the case that the output DVI file isn't opened until
+something first needs to be shipped out to it (|ensure_dvi_open|) so you
+could also redefine \jobname internally and thus cause the filename to
+change that way. It ought to work OK, but I've never tried it.

+Subject: About dvitps

+(Someone mentioned `dvitps', so I thought I would add a bit or three.)
+
+I spent several hours bashing my head against the wall wondering why my
+dvitps output looked horrible. I discovered that the transformation
+matrix it uses to convert default units to (essentially) physical units
+is hard-coded in each output file in *floating point* and rounded to 3
+decimal places. At even 300 dpi, rounding error is noticable, and the
+bitmapped fonts start scaling inconsistently. This generates extremely
+poor output.

+Being lazy, I switched to dvips, and haven't had any trouble since.

+Subject: TeX / Mathematica
+
+Dear friends;
+I use Mathematica and TeX / Latex.
+One problem with this combination is that MMa gives answers in
+opposite order of what I want.
+If the answer is a polynom MMa gives it for instance like:
+
+1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4
+
+I want the answer in TeXform like
+
+x^4+x^3+x^2+1.
+
+Thus I have to turn it manually before I can use it in a book.
+
+I asked Wolfram Research about this thing and I got this very elegant
+answer from Matthew Markert:
+
+.... On the other hand, one can temporarily disable sorting in Plus
+and therby achieve the TeXForm one wants. The following code does
+this.
+
+unbackwards] :=
+Block[{s},
+ Unprotect];
+ ClearAttributes];
+ s = ToString]]];
+ SetAttributes];
+ Protect[Plus];
+ s
+] /; Head[p] === Plus
+
+Then unbackwards[1+x+x^2+x^3]
+
+produces {x^3} + {x^2} + x + 1
+
+Note that ToString is used in this function to freeze the form.
+If this is not done then once sorting is re-enabled, the terms will
+go back to the old order.
+
+I hope this helps.
+
+- --Matthew Markert
+
+So now it is very easy. One can simply copy the answer from MMa and
+paste it into the tex-document.
+
+I someone have useful tips about MMa and TeX I would be glad to hear.

+ a EH
+ b BEE
+ c SEA
+2 TWO
+ a EH
+ b BEE
+ c SEA
+3 THREE
+ a EH
+ b BEE
+ c SEA

+Subject: Wanted - a timer for MS-DOS TeX
+
+I am co-ordinator for timing tests, for the LaTeX 3 project.
+Although a certain amount can be done using only theoretical analysis
+and a stopwatch, it would be nice to have a timer available. The
+results I obtain will be of interest to *all* TeX programmers for
+whom performance is an issue, and will be made freely available.
+
+The syntax I am looking for is that
+ \gettime \mymacro
+will define \mymacro to be a fixed length sequence of digits, which
+represents the time at the instant the macro \gettime is called.
+More exactly, each computer has a clock that ticks, and \mymacro
+should contain the number of ticks - modulo some large number - since
+the tick count was last at zero.
+
+The implementation I am looking for is
+ % initialise
+ \newread \@timer
+ \openin \@timer special.dev \relax
+
+ % read "special.dev" to get the time
+ \def\gettime #1
+ {
+ \read\@timer to #1
+ }
+where "special.dev" is a logical device for MS-DOS. The idea is to
+write a logical device such that when TeX \read's the 'file'
+"special.dvs" it gets a line containing the timer count.
+
+I don't know if such a device can be constructed. The answer will
+depend on the degree and nature of buffering used when TeX reads a
+file. A cruder and easier alternative might be to create a file like
+device which when opened writes the timer count to a file, which TeX
+can then read in the usual manner.
+
+I would very much appreciate any help anyone can provide, to satisfy
+this need.

+proprietary things will start to be more of a requirement for TeXies. Your
+colleagues may have 10000 references in an EndNote database that you'd like
+to access, your library may put you onto ProCite because that's what suits
+them for downloading information, etc., etc.
+
+I've come across TeXies who use ProCite, Library Master and EndNote.
+
+Is there any reader who has practical experience of using Papyrus or
+Reference Manager with LaTeX? If so, I'd be interested to hear about
+"what you tell Papyrus [Reference Manager]" and "what you tell LaTeX" so as
+to get them to work together sensibly. Specifically:
+* Do you (a) assume that LaTeX is always dealing with a Papyrus
+ [Reference Manager] output file, or do you (b) try to arrange that the
+ Papyrus [Reference Manager] input file is acceptable as LaTeX input
+ (so that you can get equations etc. sorted out in your definitive
+ .tex file without involving Papyrus [Reference Manager], before using
+ Papyrus [Reference Manager] to give a derived .tex file in which
+ citations have been sorted out)?
+* If (b), to what do you change Papyrus' usual %% delimiter [Reference
+ Manager's usual {} delimiters].
+* Have you managed to use Papyrus [Reference Manager] with the LaTeX
+ \cite{...} system rather than the Papyrus %%...%% system [Reference
+ Manager {} system]? I suppose this would mean having software of some
+ sort (I know not what: please tell me!) that inspects the .aux file,
+ finds what is cited, and then gets Papyrus [Reference Manager] to
+ produce the required reference-list. Overall, the question is "Have
+ you persuaded Papyrus [Reference Manager] (plus something else --- a
+ shell-script?) to take a .aux file as input (like BibTeX would) and
+ then to produce an output file that is similar to a BibTeX .bbl fle?"
+* Have you had any success in the "root file + \include-d file"
+ situation?
+I'd also be interested in any other details that you think any LaTeX-er who
+is contemplating using Papyrus [Reference Manager] should know.
+
+If the "tricks of the trade" are too lengthy to go out as an item in a
+future TeXhax, would anyone contemplate submitting an article to TUGboat
+about them, or offering some notes as candidates for inclusion in archives
+such as that at Aston?

+
+the Prime Time Freeware CD is a direct copy of the UK TeX Archive
+taken in December 1992. Although there have been minor additions since
+then, the archive contains all the packages known to mankind (ie
+me....), based on looking at listings of SHSU, Ymir, Stuttgart, old
+Aston, Jones' Index, as well as the obvious specialized archives like
+the AMS, Utah etc. At a late stage, I added odds and ends PTF had
+tracked down (various language support things). Since then, I have
+been trying with George Greenwade to get this archive (duplicated at
+Aston and SHSU) even better catalogued and up to date. To that aim, I
+have generated a skeleton database listing the `packages' which
+we stock. Most lack a description, author or date (not thats its
+unknown, I just have not had a week to spare reading READMEs!). There
+are 600 odd entries there now (and this excludes things like macro
+files or style files for plain and LaTeX - the latter is covered by
+Jones).
+
+Anyone interested in checking and expanding this list will find it as
+ftp.tex.ac.uk:pub/archive/help/ctan/ctan.dat. It is NOT for really
+general public consumption yet, but anyone is welcome to say what
+they think, or offer me money to scan README files :-}

+Subject: new postings to e-MATH.ams.org
+
+We have just updated all non-binary files in the AMS TeX archive
+at e-math.ams.org . The motive for this update was to change our
+address in the documentation on these files from
+ *math.ams.com
+to *math.ams.org
+(both the "math" and "e-math" nodes are involved.)
+
+Two files do contain "significant" updates:
+ ams/amstex/amsppt.sty
+ ams/amslatex/inputs/amssymb.sty
+
+This change also masks some important earlier postings;
+ ams/amsfonts/doc/userdoc.cyr (12 Nov 92)
+ ams/amsfonts/doc/userdoc.tex (12 Nov 92)
+ ams/amstex/amstex.bug (12 Nov 92)
+ ams/amstex/doc/amsppt.doc (12 Nov 92)
+
+If your copies of these files are earlier than these updates, it
+is recommended that you replace them with the current versions.
+
+For other files, the present change makes no difference for most
+purposes of actually using the files, so although uniformity among
+distributed versions is a good thing, actually installing the new
+versions is a matter of personal preference.
+
+The updated files will be installed shortly through routine updating
+procedures at these major archive sites:
+ Aston (uk.ac.tex (JANET), and ftp.tex.ac.uk (Internet))
+ SHSU (niord.shsu.edu)
+ Stuttgart (ftp.uni-stuttgart)

+You might also be able to get it by email from George Greenwade's file

+
+I haven't yet implemented all the good ideas people have sent me
+(generalizing toc files to other kinds of auxiliary files, indexing

+I figured a release would be worthwhile.
+
+Please send bug reports directly to me.
+
+Here is a summary of the most significant changes (from the file NEWS in
+the distribution):
+
+For those who haven't previously heard of Eplain: it is a collection of
+macros intended to provide relatively low-level capabilities, regardless
+of how your document appears. For example, it has macros to do symbolic
+cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a section heading. It also
+has some definitions that make it easier to change the conventions of
+plain TeX's output. For example, it lets you produce left-justified
+math displays by simply saying `\leftdisplays'.

+The~U.K. <TeX> Users' Group (<UK-TuG>) are pleased to announce their first-ever
+multi-day conference, which~will take place at Royal Holloway and Bedford New
+College (University of~London) in~Egham, Surrey, between April~6th and~8th
+1993. The Conference, which has two themes --- <TeX>~for non-English
+languages, and~<MetaFont> in~Theory and Practice --- is timed to co-incide with
+the start of Spring, when the campus is at its best.
+
+The~first day (April~6th) is reserved for registration and the conference
+banquet; April~7th is devoted to <TeX>, and will include papers from
+an~international panel of invited speakers, including Bernard Gaulle, Yannis
+Haralambous and Dominik Wujastyk. Bernard~is past-president of GUTenberg
+(the~French-speaking <TeX> Users' Group), and an~authority on good French
+typographic practice; Yannis~is a~renowned authority on <MetaFont> and exotic
+fonts, and~is the author of the ``Scholar<TeX>'' package; and~Dominik is
+co-author (with Graham Toal) of the definitive U.K. hyphenation patterns,
+as~well as being a Sanskrit scholar and linguist. There~will be ample time for
+questions in addition to the formal papers. April~8th is <MetaFont> day:
+there~will be two concurrent tutorials, one~entitled `<MetaFont> in Theory',
+led~by Yannis, in~which the theme will be the design and implementation of
+fonts through the medium of <MetaFont>, and~the second entitled `<MetaFont> in
+Practice', in~which the more practical (but equally important) aspects of the
+use of <MetaFont> (such~as how to build a~complete set of Computer Modern fonts
+for a new laser printer) will be addressed.
+
+Booking~is now taking place for this event, which~will be limited to
+a~maximum of fifty persons; the~Conference fee (<pounds>80-00) includes the
+Conference banquet, which~takes place after Registration on April~6th,
+lunch~for April~7th \& 8th, and~attendance at all lectures plus the tutorial of
+choice; optional~items include {\it en-suite\/} accommodation at <pounds>28-50
+per night (available for up to three nights), and~evening dinner for the second
+and third days of the Conference. Early~booking is advised, as~this is
+expected to be a~very popular event. To~reserve a~place for the Conference,
+please~complete the form below and return it together with cheque (made payable

+I'm going to write a TeX macro package that allows you to
+directly include your C source in the document.
+
+The features I want to include are:
+
+* Different styles (font etc.) can be specified for string
+ constants and comments.
+
+* Comments can be written in TeX using math and whatever you
+ like. Multi-line comments are formatted with margins
+ depending on the context.
+
+* Tabs are expanded.
+
+* I don't think the readability of a C-program improves if
+ the keywords of the language are highlighted, but if
+ someone tells me he would prefer this, it can be included
+ easily.
+
+Unfortunately I can't start writing this until at least the
+end of May. The positive side is that I can consider
+suggestions from the net. So if you have any features you
+want included in this package feel free to contact me.
+

+
+P.S.: The package will be free of course.

+Subject: Re: "Papyrus" and "Reference Manager"
+
+Kudos to David Rhead for pointing out what to me has seemed to be
+a persistent problem--TeX/LaTeX interface with personal bibliographic
+systems. I use RefMan (Reference Manager) because I write medical
+articles, and it allows direct importation of references from bibliographic
+retrieval systems such as BRS Colleague. This has caused me some difficulty,
+because I prefer to use LaTeX (for obvious reasons) in writing the
+articles themselves. Right now, I am using my own, admittedly suboptimal
+hack:
+
+I keep 2 sets of databases, my RefMan databases, and my BibTeX databases.
+Article "codes" are consistent in both. (Ugly, because a numerical code
+is assigned by RefMan such as 1423, which has nothing to do with the
+content of the article. I would prefer "readable" codes such as
+Goldman:CardDeath93 but I am too lazy to change my well over 1400 RefMan
+articles, growing by leaps and bounds every day.)
+
+I have a journal style in RefMan, which I use to print out a transfer file
+of articles (ASCII) that I select to port over to BibTeX. This style divides
+the article information with colons (:).
+
+I wrote a simple C program to convert that ASCII file to BibTeX format.
+
+This way, I can still use the database retrieval features of RefMan to find
+the article and then cite it in my LaTeX text, which is really handy. I
+can also import articles into RefMan from say, BRS Colleague or Medline,
+and then (sort of) directly transfer them to a BibTeX file.
+
+If anyone is interested in the C program, I'll give it to them. If anyone
+has a better way of doing this with RefMan, PLEASE let me know.

+Subject: Hungarian accents and Hyphenation
+
+[This message is converted from WPS-PLUS to ASCII]
+
+
+ Using TeX for the Hungarian Language
+ Accented letters and hyphenation
+ Peter Verhas
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+All accented letters we use in Hungarian are handled by TeX without
+modification thoguh it is inconvinient to type \' , \" or \H{} each time
+for an accented letter. There are many conversion tools to ease the use
+of the accented letters. These tools convert the extended character set
+to the usual TeX notation. There is another approach to use accented
+letter. This changes the fonts to have those accented letters in the font
+file, and modifies plain.tex or latex.tex to have these characters (code
+is larger than 127) catcode letter.
+
+The Hungarian hyphenation can also be handled by TeX without modification
+since it has the \discretionary macro. Such hyphenations are common and
+frequent in Hungarian. If consonants like sz (which sound like s in
+English) or cs (which is something like tsch in the name Tschebishev) are
+doubled have the form ssz or ccs, except when the hyphenation breaks
+them. In such case they are sz-sz or cs-cs. Such hyphenation can NOT
+automatic handled by hyphenation tables, and those tables that are in use
+usually prevent hyphenation at such places. Typing the discretionary
+macro for each such hyphenation is also very time and effort consuming.
+
+The solution that some of us use since few years, and which might be
+interesting for Hungarian writing people from practical, and for others
+from the intellectual point of view is a preprocessor that inserts these
+discretionary hyphenations and does the conversion for the accented
+letters. The program I would like to introduce does more in fact.
+
+2. HiOn, the Hungarian TeX preprocessor
+=======================================
+
+HiOn is a TeX preprocessor that makes two major tasks:
+
+1.) It transforms Hungarian accented letters to their TeX notation.
+
+2.) It inserts the standard soft hyphenation string according to the
+Hungarian grammar rules at all possible places.
+
+The first task ease the generation of the source files allowing user to
+use the extended character set of his system (which can be IBM PC
+character set, ISO Latin II or any user defined code table).
+
+The second prevents bad hyphenations or overfull, underfull hboxes
+depending on the actual TeX setting. To do this HiOn implements a fast,
+rule based hyphenation algorithm. This base algorithm is extended with an
+exception dictionary since version 1.7, which is the current version.
+
+HiOn reads the source file (default extension is HUN) and generates a TeX
+file (default extension is TEX). This way the TeX files act as temporary
+files just like DVI files. The generated TeX does not contain 8 bit
+characters (unless user requests special accented character handling)
+which is transparent to all mailing systems and need not depend on
+particular TeX macro set.
+
+This way HiOn can benefit TeX's discretionary capabilities for
+hyphenating words which contain compound consonants. HiOn hyphenates
+words like ``processzor'' correct to the form
+``pro-ce\discretionary{ssz}{sz-}{sz}or'' which tells TeX to break the
+word as
+
+o pro-cesszor
+ or
+o procesz-szor.
+
+Such hyphenation rule can be found in German as well (ck hyphenated as
+k-k).
+
+Using the expanded hyphenation rules introduced in version 1.1 HiOn can
+hyphenate those verbs that have alternation prefix like ``megenni'' which
+hyphenates as ``meg-enni''. HiOn checks the whole word not only the
+prefix as the prefixes themselves do not guarantee being
+verb-alternation-prefix. Therefore it knows ``el-ad\'o'' and also knows
+``e-le-f\'ant''. HiOn also know by rules such weird hyphenations like
+
+o malac-s\'ag
+o meg-gy\'urni
+o megy-gyes.
+
+As introduced in version 1.7 HiOn uses an exception dictionary and
+correctly hyphenates all compound words that appear in the Hungarian
+dictionary: ``Magyar \'Ertelmez\H{}o K\'ezisz\'ot\'ar''.
+
+The exception dictionary has an ASCII and a compressed binary form. Using
+the ASCII form users can extend the exception dictionary with words which
+are not common but need hyphenation. A typical example is a long chemical
+name. The binary form was designed and optimized for size and speed. On
+special request HiOn converts the ASCII form to binary and this way the
+extended dictionary can get into effect.
+
+HiOn is highly configurable, has approximately 30 options to tailor to
+the actual needs. As version 1.7 HiOn should HYPHENATE ALL HUNGARIAN
+WORDS CORRECT. Even if it failed in some cases users can include words in
+the exception dictionary.
+
+HiOn was written and continuously developed during the last three years
+in computer language C in a structured manner and compiles and has the
+same behavior under MS-DOS, VMS and UNIX.
+
+HiOn as a shareware product is available in Hungary in source code and in
+MS-DOS executable format with full documentation in Hungarian and
+exception dictionary in ASCII and in binary format.
+
+NONPROFIT and EDUCATION usage of HiOn only requires registration. (Some
+more minor requirements are included in the User's Guide.)
+
+PROFIT-ORIENTED usage of HiOn requires special agreement with the author.
+
+A book was already published prepared using HiOn V1.2 and some other
+books are under publishing. There is one registered, profit-oriented user
+of HiOn in Hungary.
+
+3. Conclusion
+
+ With HiOn the usage of TeX (and LaTeX or any other macro package) was
+tailored to the special needs of the Hungarian language and it has the
+same felxibility and capability as in English.

+
+
+\documentstyle{article}
+\pagestyle{empty}
+\begin{document}
+\begin{centering}
+{\Large A table of negative magsteps}\\
+\end{centering}
+\vspace {.25in}
+\noindent The increasing availability of outline fonts, especially
+those licensed for general use through the X Consortium
+(Charter, Courier, Utopia), and the growing number of \TeX-related
+utilities for printing and screen preview of documents using
+these fonts, requires the use of some rather interesting magstep values.
+
+There is usually only one design size for an outline font, and the
+\TeX{} user must depend on scaling for all point sizes, in the
+hope that font hinting will supply some of the non-linear effects
+which ought to distinguish a 5-point from a 10-point font.
+A PostScript or Ghostscript engine will deal with the scaling
+implicitly, but {\tt xdvi} and other display programs which depend on
+rasterized font images need to have them supplied by some sort of
+conversion program. The {\tt ps2pk} utility, available through a number
+of servers on the internet, is a good tool for creating PK fonts
+from type1 outlines. It comes with several associated programs,
+including {\tt mag} which calculates appropriate dpi values at various
+screen and printer resolutions. As long as your concern is
+only with large fonts, this utility is very straightforward, but
+when you need to create 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9-point images from
+a 10-point design master, the values are a bit less obvious.
+To shrink fonts you have to use negative magstep values and
+fortunately the {\tt mag} program is designed to permit this.
+
+Here is a table of negative magsteps, for the full range
+of sizes from 9-point down to 5-point. Values are given for the
+true magstep series and also for integer pointsizes.
+Arguments can be made for choosing either series.
+
+
+$$
+\begin{tabular}{|c|c||c|c||c|}
+\hline
+\multicolumn{2}{|c||}{Magstep Series}&\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{Pointsize Series}\\
+\hline
+magstep&300 dpi&magstep&300 dpi&pointsize \\
+value&value&value&value&reduction \\
+\hline
+- -0.50&274&-0.58&270&$9/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -1.00&250&-1.22&240&$8/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -2.00&208&-1.95&210&$7/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -3.00&174&-2.80&180&$6/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -4.00&144&-3.80&150&$5/10$ \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+$$
+
+\noindent The next magstep, $-5.00$ would bring the values into complete
+agreement, at a dpi value of 120, but 4-point fonts are not much use
+for anything. Two additional values which have sometimes come in
+useful are $-0.6 (-0.63)$ for an $8/9$ reduction, and $-0.8333
+(-0.85)$ for a $6/7$ reduction. The first value, incidentally, is
+half a magstep, and the second is the reciprocal.

+Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: 'Computer Modern' Blackboard fonts available
+
+Hi all,
+
+There has been one or two weeks ago a discussion on this list about 'bold
+blackboard' fonts: which are available and what are they like.
+
+The answer has been (as far as I understood)
+ - the AMS fonts msbm (older version msym) are intended for use with Times
+and aren't truly what a mathematician expects (the stress is on both stems
+instead of being on only the left one).
+ - Alan Jeffrey's bbold fonts are sans-serif ones, with (almost) no
+possibility of design variations for, say, a bold variant.
+That was all, and in particular nothing for use with Computer Modern.
+
+I was already working at that time on the project of changing the codes of
+romanu.mf, romanl.mf and other files to add a 'Blackboard' variant to
+Computer Modern.
+
+ IT IS NOW READY !!!
+
+The whole package contains five 'main' files:
+ - blbbase.mf (the 'base') contains the supplementary definitions needed
+for double stems etc..
+ - blbord.mf (the 'driver') is fairly simpleand only makes the necessary calls.
+ - blbordu.mf (based on romanu.mf): programs for uppercase letters.
+ - blbordl.mf (based on romanl.mf): programs for lowercase letters.
+ - blbordsp.mf (based on romand.mf and punct.mf): programs for the digits~1
+and~2 and for parentheses and brackets.
+
+There is also a whole lot of parameter files that are (almost) the same as
+those provided by DEK.
+
+For most of them, the only differences are
+- - change 'cmbase' for 'blbbase' on line~2
+- - change 'generate roman' for 'generate blbord' on last line
+- - add two extra parameters (interspace# and cap_interspace#).
+
+Since I do not have (yet) any anon. ftp server here to put these files, I
+can e-mail the files, but I would be very honoured if someone gave me an
+address where to put all these things.

+From: wagman%muse.hepnet@LBL.EARN
+Subject: Concatenating token strings
+
+In the draft of Stephan von Bechtolsheim's new books, I found some clever (and
+incomprehensible) code that appends tokens to an existing token string, so I
+wrote the following:
+
+\newtoks\PhoneItems \PhoneItems = {}
+\def\CollectInfo#1%
+{%
+ \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter%
+ \PhoneItems\expandafter{\the\PhoneItems#1}%
+}
+\newcount\Pointer \Pointer = 0
+\advance\Pointer by 1
+\CollectInfo{\number\Pointer}
+\advance\Pointer by 1
+\CollectInfo{\number\Pointer}
+\advance\Pointer by 1
+\CollectInfo{\number\Pointer}
+\the\PhoneItems
+\end
+
+which prints "333" rather than "123"
+I know that if I put the \advance\Pointer by 1 into the argument to
+\CollectInfo, I will get the correct sequencing, but because of my actual
+needs, I want to increment outside of the argument. So my question is how do I
+force the expansion of \number\Pointer before \CollectInfo grabs the tokens?
+
+Thanks,
+

+P.S. E-mail to Stephan (svb@cs.purdue.edu) was returned, so I cannot ask him

+
+- -------------------------beginning of discussion-----------------------------
+
+It is fairly easy to accomplish what you want for the page header as well as
+for the page footer.
+
+There is a public domain style file, headerfooter.sty, which is available from
+the DECUS Library (Digital Equipment Computer Users Society) as part of the
+DECUS TeX Collection. It is probably also available from various archives via
+anonymous ftp, but I don't know where it is stored.
+
+Following this message are the following files:
+
+headerfooter.sty -- I made a modification to include footer overlines, which
+ the original author didn't implement.
+
+hf-example.sty -- A small style file containing a few margin settings,
+ macros, etc.
+
+hf.tex -- A LaTeX source code file that illustrates the use of headers and
+ footers, with and without underlines and overlines.
+
+
+These files should have enough comments to be self explanatory, and there is
+also some discussion in the output text of hf.tex.

+normalsize Slanted text represented by \verb+\+theright in the page footer.
+The \verb+\+push macro is used to adjust the horizontal spacing between the
+text of the footer and the page number.
+
+\newpage
+
+\lefttext{Illustration for \TeX{}hax}
+\righttext{Illustration for \TeX{}hax}
+
+As can be seen below, when the definitions of \verb+\+theleft and
+\verb+\+theright are changed, the new text automatically appears in the footer
+without having to change the values of \verb+\+evenpagefooter and
+\verb+\+oddpagefooter. This can be very useful when you want to include text
+such as chapter or subject titles in page headers or footers. \\
+
+For example, you might want to implement a scheme such as the one shown below.
+
+The section title is initially defined to be the null string so that if a page
+break occurs before a section no error will occur because of a non--existent
+definition. \\
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\evenpagefooter{\sl \thepage\push\uppercase{\chaptertitle}}{}{}
+\oddpagefooter{}{}{\sl \sectiontitle\push\thepage}
+% [...]
+\def\chaptertitle{Title of Chapter}
+\def\sectiontitle{}
+\chapter{\chaptertitle}
+% [...]
+\def\sectiontitle{Title of Section}
+\section{\sectiontitle}
+% [...]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that the page headers and footers will not appear correctly on the last
+page of the document unless you include a ``dummy" blank page at the end. To
+do this, I use a simple macro \verb+\+blankpage, which is included in the file
+{\em hf--example.sty}. Otherwise the last page returns to the default page
+numbering scheme, which in this instance is \verb+\+pagestyle\{plain\}. \\
+
+A \verb+\+newpage command at the end of the document will also ensure that the
+headers and footers appear correctly. I also use \verb+\+blankpage for other
+purposes, such as forcing a portion of a document to begin on a recto (odd
+numbered page) using the \verb+\+forceodd macro.\\
+
+The margin settings used in the style file mentioned above assume that you are
+printing on U.S. standard 8$\frac{1}{2}${\tt "} x 11{\tt "} paper. If you
+are using the European standard A--4 or some other size paper, you will likely
+want to change these settings.

+Subject: sauter fonts 2.0 available
+
+I've updated my distribution of John Sauter's Metafont files
+to make Computer Modern fonts at any point size.
+
+You can get version 2.0 by ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/sauter.tar.z
+
+Please notice the `.z' instead `.Z' -- I am now using gzip instead of
+compress. See below for a blurb about gzip.
+
+This release makes the sauter fonts match the AMS ``extracm'' fonts
+(cmbsy5-9, cmcsc8-9, cmex7-9, cmmib5-9). Thus, the TFM files do not
+match those of previous release, hence the incremented major version number.
+
+For all of the standard Computer Modern fonts, these files produce the
+same TFM files as Knuth's sources. So it is ok to call the output from
+these `cm...'.
+
+Besides the Computer Modern and the Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic, the
+distribution also includes Sauter parameter files for the LaTeX symbol
+fonts, contributed by Friedrich Haubensak.
+
+The distribution includes an lfonts.tex for LaTeX and a MakeTeXPK for
+dvips which take advantage of these fonts, as well as an NFSS fontdef.sau.
+
+Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.
+
+karl@cs.umb.edu
+Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to lpf@uunet.uu.net.
+
+
+Distribution information: You can get LaTeX from
+rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de and dvips from
+labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*. (Alternatively, you can get
+ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.z, which is a version of dvips I have
+modified to use the same font searching code as TeX, the GNU font
+utilities, and my modified xdvi.)
+
+Information about gzip:
+
+gzip is faster and compresses better than compress. In addition to its
+technical virtues, it is not subject (so far) to any (alleged) software
+patents. Here is an extract from the README file:
+
+> gzip is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
+> the terms of the GNU General Public License, a copy of which is
+> provided under the name COPYING. The latest version of the gzip
+> sources can always be found in prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/gzip-*.tar*
+> or any of the prep mirror sites. An MSDOS lha self-extracting exe is in
+> hal.gnu.ai.mit.edu:/tmp/gzip*.exe.
+
+Instead of prep, I suggest you get gzip from one of the following less
+heavily loaded servers:
+ Asia: ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp, utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp:/ftpsync/prep,
+ cair.kaist.ac.kr:/pub/gnu

+\begin{document}
+\section{Introduction}
+
+Making a baby can be a difficult process: you need at least two
+people (with the adequate tools) you need some favorable
+circumstances, and you need motivation.
+
+What about virtual fonts? well, we have motivation enough:
+several languages are not covered by DC fonts, in particular Welsh,
+Esperanto, Maltese, many African languages (the glyphs for the
+latter are included in Joerg Knappens FC fonts) etc. These
+languages need virtual fonts to be typeset. The circumstances are
+favorable enough. Up to now, though, we were missing one tool.
+
+Here is the problem: you want to substitute a character in the
+DC font by some special character you need in your target language.
+OK. How to construct the virtual representation for this character?
+well, for that we have Eberhard Mattes' {\tt QDTeXVPL}. It will give us
+the description of all characters we need. Now suppose you replace
+an `A' with some accent, by an `E' with some other accent. What
+about all the kerning pairs involving that `A' you took away?
+And what all those new kerning pairs you need for the `E'?
+
+Do you want to replace the old kerning pairs by new ones, by
+hand?? well, you can try; but if you ever attempt to take a
+coffee break, then you will never be able to recognize again what
+you have changed, and what remains to be changed. Not to mention
+the nasty habit of PL files of having kerning pairs applying to
+more than one characters. This optimizes parsing speed, but surely
+makes it more difficult to make manual changes.
+
+The utility I'm presenting does all this automatically. It will
+read a {\tt [V]PL} file and will
+\begin{itemize}
+\item remove all kerning pairs involving removed characters;
+\item introduce kernng pairs for new characters;
+\item add or remove ligatures.
+\end{itemize}
+
+To illustrate the use of this program, I provide a real-world
+example, namely a virtual font for Esperanto. You will follow the
+whole process of giving birth to this font, starting by its
+mother: the common {\tt dcr10} font.
+
+\section{How it works}
+
+{\tt AdjKerns} has been written in ANSI~C\footnote{Be aware!
+its author is a lousy C programmer, so {\em don't} trust the
+program as you trust \TeX. Keep a critical eye for possible
+bugs, and report them!}. It should run everywhere; it has been
+tested on a Macintosh (MPW~3.2 and Think C~5.0).
+
+The command line should look like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+AdjKerns [-c foo.kcf] [-o <something>] <input file>
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The input file is a {\tt PL} or a {\tt VPL} file\footnote{If
+you look closer you'll see that there is no big difference;
+the latter has a few more possibilities, otherwise the
+syntax is the same.}. Out of this file {\tt AdjKerns} will
+read only the {\tt LIGTABLE}, the rest will remain untouched.
+
+The rules on how to modify the {\tt LIGTABLE} are read
+from the configuration file {\tt foo.kcf}. This file is
+optional; if you don't include any rules, then {\tt AdjKerns}
+will just rewrite your {\tt [V]PL} file, by ignoring any
+optimization attempts of the {\tt LIGTABLE}. The file will be
+bigger, but the result will be the same; it will be easier to
+modify, though.
+
+The {\tt-o} option specifies the output file. If no such is
+specified, then the input file is overwritten (you don't need
+that file anyway\ldots).
+
+Let's see now the syntax of the {\tt KCF} file. The following
+lines are allowed:
+
+\verb=KERN <char> LIKE <char>=
+
+\verb=KERN <char> LEFT LIKE <char>=
+
+\verb=KERN <char> RIGHT LIKE <char>=
+
+\verb=KERN <char> LEFT LIKE <char> RIGHT LIKE <char>=
+
+\verb=UNKERN <char>=
+
+\verb=ADD <lig> <char> <char> -> <char>=
+
+\verb=ADD <lig> BOUNDARYCHAR <char> -> <char>=
+
+\verb=REMOVE <lig> <char> <char> -> <char>=
+
+\verb=REMOVE <lig> BOUNDARYCHAR <char> -> <char>=
+
+\verb=% comments, like in TeX=
+
+where {\tt <char>} means (like in a {\tt[V]PL} file, either
+\verb=C= followed by a character, or \verb=D= followed by a
+decimal number, or \verb=O= followed by an octal number, or
+\verb=H= followed by a hexadecimal number. {\tt<lig>} means
+one of the following: \verb=LIG=, \verb=/LIG=, \verb=LIG/=,
+\verb=/LIG/=, \verb=/LIG>=, \verb=LIG/>=, \verb=/LIG/>=,
+\verb=/LIG/>>=.
+
+Everytime you kern some letter, all previous kerning pairs
+and ligatures are erased. By the {\tt UNKERN} command
+you can erase these, without inserting a new character.
+Commands are executed sequentially, and there is no
+consistence test; so you can ask something and then
+the opposite: nobody will complain.
+
+\section{An Example: Esperanto}
+
+Esperanto needs the following characters which are not
+provided in the DC font: \^c, \^s, \^\j, \^g, \^h, \u u
+(and the corresponding uppercase letters). Dirk Everdeen
+which is an Esperanto guru (and has prepared a $\beta$
+version of Esperanto hyphenation patterns) asked me to use
+the following input mechanism: these letters should be
+accessed by ligatures {\tt cx}, {\tt sx}, {\tt jx},
+{\tt gx}, {\tt hx}, {\tt ux}, because the letter `x' is
+not used in Esperanto.
+
+Since the ``phantom'' letter `x' comes {\em after} the
+real letter, there is no problem with kerning (like in the
+case of the input ligature {\tt ts} of the {\tt wncyr} fonts).
+So this method could eventually be adopted as a standard
+transliteration of Esperanto. But this is another
+issue\footnote{To be solved by the Esperanto subgroup of
+the Technical Working Group on Multiple Language
+Coordination.}.
+
+Our problem now is to create a virtual font with these
+letters, the right kerning pairs and the right ligatures.
+I have chosen positions which would harm the least amount
+of languages: only Turkish and Slovakian are excluded
+when using this virtual font.
+
+How to call it? well, of course {\tt eocr10} since {\tt eo}
+is the two-letter code for Esperanto.
+
+\subsection{First step: character description}
+
+How do we describe the accented characters? Let's use
+Eberhard Mattes' {\tt QDTeXVPL}. For this we need a
+configuration file, which will specify the positions
+of new characters, and their descriptions in the form of
+\TeX\ macros. Here is this file (let's call it
+{\tt esperanto-wannabe.tex}):
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\font\f=dcr10
+\input qdtexvpl
+\texvpl{^^ad}{\f\^s}
+\texvpl{^^8d}{\f\^S}
+\texvpl{^^a0}{\f\^c}
+\texvpl{^^80}{\f\^C}
+\texvpl{^^a8}{\f\^h}
+\texvpl{^^88}{\f\^H}
+\texvpl{^^a9}{\f\^\j}
+\texvpl{^^89}{\f\^J}
+\texvpl{^^a7}{\f\^g}
+\texvpl{^^87}{\f\^G}
+\texvpl{^^b8}{\f\u u}
+\texvpl{^^98}{\f\u U}
+\bye
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The good thing is that we can quickly describe the characters
+using \TeX\ macros, like \verb=\^=, \verb=\u=, \verb=\j=.
+The bad thing is that this is all we can do. Fine tuning must
+be done by hand.
+
+You run this file through \TeX\ and get file
+{\tt espernato-wannabe.dvi}. Then you run {\tt QDTeXVPL} with
+the followint command line:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+QDTeXVPL -d10.0 esperanto-wannabe.dvi esperanto-wannabe.vpl
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Here is an extract of what we get:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+(MAPFONT D 16
+ (FONTNAME dcr10)
+ (FONTCHECKSUM O 30523766474)
+ (FONTDSIZE R 10.000000))
+(CHARACTER O 255
+ (CHARWD R 0.394347)
+ (CHARHT R 0.694275)
+ (CHARDP R 0.000000)
+ (MAP
+ (MOVERIGHT R -0.052765)
+ (SELECTFONT D 16)
+ (SETCHAR O 2)
+ (MOVERIGHT R -0.447113)
+ (SETCHAR C s)))
+(CHARACTER O 215
+ (CHARWD R 0.555420)
+ (CHARHT R 0.939255)
+ (CHARDP R 0.000000)
+ (MAP
+ (PUSH)
+ (MOVERIGHT R 0.027771)
+ (MOVEDOWN R -0.244980)
+ (SELECTFONT D 16)
+ (SETCHAR O 2)
+ (POP)
+ (SETCHAR C S)))
+...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Now we have to replace these characters inside {\tt dcr10.pl}
+and name the new file {\tt eocr10.vpl} (hopefully someday
+somebody will find the time to write some utility to do this
+automatically).
+
+\subsection{Second step: adjusting kerning pairs and ligatures}
+
+As you saw, we have modified character descriptions, but neither
+kerning pairs, nor ligatures. This will be done by {\tt AdjKerns}.
+Here is the necessary configuration file {\tt eo.kcf}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+% Kerning and ligature configuration for
+% Esperanto virtual fonts, based on DC
+% Semi-official (not yet aproved by TWGMLC)
+KERN H AD LIKE C s
+KERN H 8D LIKE C S
+KERN H A0 LIKE C c
+KERN H 80 LIKE C C
+KERN H A8 LIKE C h
+KERN H 88 LIKE C H
+KERN H A9 LIKE C j
+KERN H 89 LIKE C J
+KERN H A7 LIKE C g
+KERN H 87 LIKE C G
+KERN H B8 LIKE C u
+KERN H 98 LIKE C U
+ADD LIG C s C x -> H AD
+ADD LIG C S C x -> H 8D
+ADD LIG C S C X -> H 8D
+ADD LIG C c C x -> H A0
+ADD LIG C C C x -> H 80
+ADD LIG C C C X -> H 80
+ADD LIG C h C x -> H A8
+ADD LIG C H C x -> H 88
+ADD LIG C H C X -> H 88
+ADD LIG C j C x -> H A9
+ADD LIG C J C x -> H 89
+ADD LIG C J C X -> H 89
+ADD LIG C g C x -> H A7
+ADD LIG C G C x -> H 87
+ADD LIG C G C X -> H 87
+ADD LIG C u C x -> H B8
+ADD LIG C U C x -> H 98
+ADD LIG C U C X -> H 98
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that we have included ligatures both for `Cx' and `CX' etc.:
+the former will be used in text, the latter in titles.
+Now we run {\tt AdjKerns}, with the following command line:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+AdjKerns -c eo.kcf eocr10.vpl
+\end{verbatim}
+
+After some lines:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+**************************************************************
+
+ This is program AdjKerns (= Adjust Kerning Pairs)
+
+ Version beta-1
+ written for you by a lousy C programmer
+ (Yannis Haralambous, 1993)

+ It shall help you make efficient virtual fonts
+ This software belongs to the public domain
+
+**************************************************************
+Loading input file preamble...
+Reading kern and ligature data...
+Reading lines from configuration file and executing them...
+..............................
+Finished reading the configuration file
+Writing down new lig/kern data...
+Writing input file remaining data...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+we get the expected result (our file {\tt eocr10.vpl} is
+overwritten.
+
+\subsection{Final step: using the font}
+
+Once we have the {\tt VPL} file, we are done. Run {\tt VFtoVP}
+and use the font. Here is a small text file to test the font
+(file {\tt eotest.tex}):
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\magnification=1200
+\font\myfont=eocr10
+\myfont
+Berto staras antaux la vendejo. Sxi estas rigardanta la
+montran fenestregon. Si vidas multajn obiektojn. En la
+montra fenestrego trovigxas skatoloj kai faruno. Sub
+klosxo kusxas fromagxo, kiu havas multajn truojn. Ankaux
+botelojn sxi estas vidanta. La boteloj, kiujn sxi estas
+rigardanta, estas egale grandaj. En la mezo de la
+fenestrego pendas afisxo, sur kiu estas skribita la
+frazo: ,,Cxi tie oni parolas Esperanton``. La pordo
+de la vendejo estas malfermita. En la vendejo en angulo
+oni vidas barelon kun haringoj. Haringoj estas fisxoj.
+La fromagxa klosxo estas farita el vitro. La posedanto
+de la vendejo nun estas vendanta fumajxojn kaj cindrujon
+al sinjoro. Berto demandas la vendistinon, cxu cxokolado
+kaj dolcxajxoj estas haveblaj. La vendistino neas tion.
+Ankaux teo, kafo kaj rizo ne plu estas haveblaj. Vino
+estas trinkajxo. Berto volas acxeti unue fromagxon kaj
+due haringojn. La acxetita fromagxo kostas unu marko. Nun
+sxi estas portanta la acxetitan hejmen.
+\end
+\end{verbatim}
+
+taken from a Esperanto reader my mother had at school
+(nice brown and thin ,,Nachkriegspapier``).
+
+\section{Go forth, etc. etc.}
+
+I am tempted to say ``Go forth and make masterpieces

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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).

+
+ 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:

+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.

+ - A day on typography and design, in conjunction with the DIDOT project.
+
+ - A detailed workshop on LaTeX3.
+
+ - A session on language and font issues.
+
+ - A session on TeX standards and the future developments of TeX and
+ related software.
+
+ - Discussions of TeX archives.
+
+ - A `problem-solving' panel.
+
+ - Birds-of-a-feather groups.
+
+Invited speakers include Christina Thiele, the TUG president, the President
+of the German TeX User Group, DANTE, and Boguslav Jackowski, the
+winner of the `best paper' award at recent conferences in Prague and
+Karlsruhe.
+
+Some highlights from the accepted papers by speakers from around the world
+are:
+
+ - The Khmer Script tamed by the Lion (of TeX): Yannis Haralambous

+ 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.
+
+
+TeXmenu PRICING:
+
+ TeXmenu 4.0 is a free update for all registered TeXmenu 3.0 users!
+
+ For further information, site license pricing, group discounts, and
+ information relating to payment see Licence.rtf in the demo

+
+
+FUTURE DEVELOPMENT (BLACK&WHITE):
+
+ NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors will be supported as soon as the
+ developer environment is available. Further upgrades are planed.
+ There will be no extra charging on system change. Black hardware
+ will be supported at least as long as NeXT does with its OS.

+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).

+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.

+From: Martyn Johnson <Martyn.Johnson@cl.cam.ac.uk>
+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

+Distribution Site: To Be Determined
+Comments: Prepared for short course given at University of Natal,
+ Pietermaritzburg. Prepared in great haste, so not ultimately

+Subject: OzTeX 1.5
+
+OzTeX 1.5 is now available at the following ftp sites:
+
+ rsphysse.anu.edu.au in pub/oztex/newoztex
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk in pub/archive/systems/mac/oztex
+
+(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,
+ university, company, etc. All earlier versions remain freeware.
+ More info about the shareware fee is in OzTeX's Help menu.

+Subject: MakeIndex 2.12 released
+
+I have just released version 2.12 of MakeIndex.
+
+This version incorporates additions contributed by Julian F. Reschke
+<julian@math.uni-muenster.de> for control of the form of page ranges,
+plus new support added by me today for numerous C++ compilers. The
+Makefiles have been substantially updated for enhanced portability,
+and have been augmented by convenience targets for numerous operating
+system and compiler combinations.
+
+Successful testing has been carried out today on a broad range of
+systems listed in the src/README file, including MS DOS, VAX VMS, and
+many UNIX variants.
+
+The new version can be found on ftp.math.utah.edu in the directory
+pub/tex/pub/makeindex/2-12 in these files:

+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.

+

+
+There is confusion with hash symbols here; from the rest of your article it

+
+\def\macro#1{\def\@macro{#1}}
+
+However, this definition can be shortened to:
+
+\def\macro{\def\@macro}
+
+because when you type "\macro{some definition}", both the above macros will
+expand to the same text, namely "\def\@macro{some definition}". In the
+first example, the text between the braces is slurped up by \macro and put
+right back in there, whereas in the second example this text is unaffected
+by the definition, but remains in there until after "\macro" has been
+changed to "\def\@macro". There is just one difference: "\macro x" will in
+the first instance define \@macro to expand to "x", whereas it will generate

+

+
+The above should now explain why. You have done a similar trick as in the
+second definition above, and defined "\obj@def{foo}" to expand to
+"\def\foo{\@@def{@foo}}". This makes "\foo{bar}" expand first to
+"\@@def{@foo}{bar}" and then to "\def\@foo{bar}". You could shorten your
+\@@def further in a similar manner by omitting the #2 on the left and {#2}
+on the right.

+
+METAPOST is a version of METAFONT developed by John Hobby to generate
+PostScript output instead of the traditional bitmapped Generic Font
+format, described in J.D.Hobby (1989), "A METAFONT-like System with
+PostScript Output", TUGboat 10(4), 505--512. I have a vague
+recollection that METAPOST has subsequently become available, but
+can't find the announcement in my mail folders; you might like to mail
+John <hobby@research.att.com> for more details.
+
+Some other references covering METAFONT and PostScript are

+Toby Thain (1992), "Packing METAFONTs into PostScript", TUGboat 13(1),
+36--38.

+
+The font naming scheme (to version 1.5),

+
+Fontname changes:

+The changes since version 1.4 are minimal: a couple of additional
+typefaces, variants, and sources.
+
+I also made two incompatible changes: 1) source `u' is now for URW instead

+contributed four fonts to the world (ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/urwfonts.tar.z).

+Subject: HyperBibTeX 0.9.7
+
+HyperBibTeX
+
+HyperBibTeX is a Macintosh HyperCard application for managing
+bibliography databases in a format compatible with BibTeX (as
+defined in Lamport's LaTeX book and Patashnik's document
+"BibTeXing"). A HyperBibTeX bibliography stack can be created
+either by manually making new cards or by importing an existing
+.BIB file. When you want to make a bibliography for a document, you
+simply export selected cards from the stack to a .BIB file and
+process it with BibTeX.
+
+HyperBibTeX's features include:
+
+* All fields of BibTeX's thirteen entry types (Book, Article,
+Proceedings, etc.) are supported. In addition, there are built-in
+fields for Annote, Keywords, Location, and ISBN.
+
+* Authority lists are kept for fields with repetitive
+information (Author, Journal, Publisher, etc.). New data typed into
+these fields are checked against the authority lists; or you can
+fill in a field by simply clicking on an item from the appropriate
+authority list.
+
+* Abbreviations are supported: they can be used in fields, are
+verified by the authority lists, and are imported and exported.
+Note however that concatenated abbreviations (introduced in version
+0.99b of BibTeX) are not supported.
+
+* There are commands for systematically checking the validity
+and integrity of the stack, including Check Keys, Find Duplicates,
+and Verify Field.
+
+* A stack can be sorted on any of the major fields (Key, Entry
+Type, Author, Journal, Year, etc.).
+
+* A stack can be searched using HyperCard s Find function. The
+search can be limited to a selected field.
+
+* Cards can be marked (or unmarked) individually or by using
+the Find function. You can then navigate just the marked cards in a
+stack or export just the marked cards.
+
+* There are two special pop-up windoids: one for entering an
+annotation (Annote field) and another for user-defined fields
+(entered directly in BibTeX syntax).
+
+* There is an Index windoid that lists the Keys of the cards in
+the stack (either all cards or just selected ones); clicking on a
+card's Key in the windoid takes you to that card.
+
+HyperBibTeX requires HyperCard version 2; version 2.1 is recommended
+because of its superior error handling. It should run fine under
+system 6, but the Balloon Help facility requires system 7. It also
+runs under HyperCard Player.
+
+HyperBibTeX version 0.9.7, released on 3-May-93, is an upgrade that
+fixes various bugs (including a serious bug in version 0.9.5) and
+adds a number of new improvements and features. If you are
+presently using an older version of HyperBibTeX, I strongly
+recommend that you upgrade to version 0.9.7.
+
+HyperBibTeX is freeware and is available by anonymous FTP from:
+
+mac.archive.umich.edu:
+/mac/hypercard/organization/hyperbibtex0.97.sit.hqx

+From: "Rex H. Shudde" <0024P@NAVPGS.EARN>
+Subject: METAFONT memory usage - position dependency
+
+Recently I ran into a curious Metafont situation. I had created a
+series of 36 characters (all 40 pt in height) using the emTeX version
+of Metafont (Version 2.0 [3a]). I then changed the size to 60 pt to
+create a larger set, but got the dreaded, "METAFONT capacity exceeded,
+sorry [main memory size=65531]," error message while the 29th
+character was being generated.
+
+The program is set up so that each symbol is in a separate file which
+starts with a <beginchar(...);> statement and ends with an <endchar;>
+statement. A driver program sets up initial housekeeping and then
+inputs each of the symbol files in turn. What I did next was add a
+<showstats;> statement between each of the input statements, go back
+to the 40 pt size, and rerun the program to generate the log file to
+see which of the characters was chewing up memory and then try to
+clean those particular files. I did what I thought was a pretty good
+cleanup job, and then regenerated the characters again. To my dismay,
+the new log file was identical to the old file---all of my cleanup had
+done nothing!
+
+The next thing I thought of was to generate the offending characters
+before any of the other characters with the hope that I might find
+something that they had in common (or lacked in common). After
+rerunning, I discovered from the log file that I had gained a little
+memory. That is, after the 36th symbol was generated I had a little
+bit more memory "untouched" than in the previous run. I repeated this
+process several times, moving the input of files that seemed to cause
+increased memory usage up to the top. Curiously enough, some of the
+files that previously caused increased memory usage no longer did.
+After about five such iterations it appeared that I had gained enough
+memory to be able to generate the characters at 60 pt, and it turned
+out that this was true. All 36 characters were created at 60 pt
+without a hitch.
+
+Sorry that this has been so long winded, but my primary question is,
+"why is total memory requirement of Metafont dependent upon the order
+in which the characters are generated?" Also, why isn't the memory
+between the <beginchar(...);> and <endchar;> reallocated to the memory
+pool since, presumably, once you've generated a character you're
+through with that section of code? (Or maybe there is a way to return
+the memory to the unused memory pool that I'm not aware of.) Finally,
+is there some better parameter to dump to the log file (incidently,
+the "string usage" readout that comes with <showstats;> was identical
+on all runs) than <showstats;>? Any and all comments will be much
+appreciated.

+Subject: Why \markboth{}{} used in standard LaTeX report style?
+
+I'm the current maintainer of the ucthesis style (for University of
+California dissertations), which is based closely on the standard
+LaTeX report style. I asked this question of the comp.text.tex USENET
+newsgroup but got no reply. So, I'm now trying TeXhax.
+
+One user of the ucthesis style wanted to put the text "Draft" on every
+page and tried to use the \markboth command to do so. It didn't work
+because the definition for \part invokes
+
+ \markboth{}{}
+
+which overrode the user's \markboth. Is there an important reason why
+the report style does this? It seems to me that the user is trying to
+do something very reasonable and I don't see why it shouldn't be
+possible. So, I'm sorely tempted to remove the \markboth from the
+definition of \part in the ucthesis style.
+
+Thanks for your help,
+

+Subject: QED command
+
+I recently decided I wanted a marker to denote the end of a proof.
+Digging around in my style file archive I came up with a macro by
+Paul Vojta (vojta@guinness.ias.edu) (vintage May 1990), based on
+p. 106 of the TeXbook. I have modified this to work in three different
+situations in LaTeX:
+ (1) At the end of a text paragraph
+ (2) Inside the LaTeX displayed equation brackets \[...\]
+ (3) After the last equation in a LaTeX eqnarray (just before the
+ \end{eqnarray} command).
+
+Below is an example file illustrating the three cases.
+
+Comments, criticism, bugs, fixes etc. are welcome.

+Subject: psnfss smallcaps problem
+
+Greetings, TeXnicians!
+
+I recently obtained the psnfss macros from ftp.shsu.edu and
+am experiencing a problem with Small Caps versions of the
+Postscript fonts:
+After running psnfss.tex through LaTeX, I submitted the
+resulting psnfss.dvi file to dvips, which complained that
+font pplrc was missing. I checked, and both pplrc.tfm and
+pplrc.vf were included in the distribution and correctly
+installed. It seems that the problem is that there
+is no entry for pplrc in the psfonts.map file which
+is consulted by dvips for mapping short TeX names
+to actual Postscript names. Looking further,
+I found that there were {\em no} entries describing
+any Small Caps versions of fonts. A bit more
+investigation revealed to me that this is probably
+because distinct Small Caps versions of fonts do not exist---
+they are created from other typefaces by performing
+Postscript tricks with scaling.
+
+I don't know how to perform such a trick. Could someone
+please tell me how, or better yet, send me the
+entries from your psfonts.map file which describe the
+Small Caps fonts, along with any Postscript code which
+they invoke? (I presume the latter is to be placed
+in the file texps.pro?)

+Subject: LaTeX3 public documents available
+
+***Documents related to the LaTeX3 project***
+
+This collection of documents will contain papers from the core project
+team and from other volunteers. Some will be progress reports, others
+will be outlines of work which needs to be done and, as the project
+develops, there will be definitive papers describing aspects of the
+new system.
+
+All these documents are being made public to encourage you to find out
+more about the project and to foster constructive comments and further
+ideas. One of the files, LTX3PUB.BIB, contains a BibTeX-style list of
+all the public LaTeX3 documents in the collection. Each file also has
+a header containing bibliographic information.
+
+In addition to these documents, the collection will also contain style
+files: some of these are needed only for particular documents as they
+enable the author to describe a particular subject; but some will be
+main styles and style options for whole classes of documents in the
+collection. At present there is just one of these: L3MS001.STY (MS =
+main style). This is the main style of all the documents currently in
+the collection. It is an adaptation of the standard ARTICLE.STY; it
+produces a cover sheet and running heads/foots using information
+extracted from the file header.
+
+At present, in addition to l3ms001.sty, the following files are available:

+a root user but have enough filespace to try and install LaTeX
+under my account on a SPARCstation IPX. Any suggestions will be

+building LaTeX from scratch, since I have never done it.

+From: Jerry Leichter <leichter@lrw.com>
+Subject: re: Why \markboth{}{} used in standard LaTeX report style?
+
+Ethan V. Munson asks why \part in the standard report style invokes
+\markboth{}{}, which wipes out a "Draft" header that a user was trying to
+place on every page of a document produced with "ucthesis", which is based
+on "report".
+
+The answer is obvious if viewed in the right context: In the "headings" page-
+style, you really want this, since otherwise any chapter/section information
+left over from the previous part might "leak over" into the new part - if, for
+example, there is some information about the new part before a \chapter is
+issued. The \markboth has no effect if the pagestyle is "plain" or "empty".
+
+Support for the "myheadings" style, which the user is presumably trying to
+use, is somewhat shakey. There are a number of places in the standard styles,
+mainly having to do with sectioning, in which the code just assumes that it
+can play around with the headings and the page style as it wishes. This is
+one of them. (Note that \chapter, \section, and \subsection also change the
+page marks. This is done through a level of indirection using the \XXXmark
+commands, which are no-ops in "myheadings". There should have been a
+\partmark command defined and used the same way....)
+
+One quick hack solution would be to define "\setdraft" (or whatever you want
+to call it) as "\markboth{Draft}{Draft}\def\markboth#1#2{}".

+Subject: xdvi with 600dpi fonts?
+
+Because we got new 600dpi printers at our site, we built 600dpi
+fonts. However, they don't work very well with xdvi; scaling
+600dpi fonts a factor of 6 to 8 seems to be a bit hard on the
+program. Some characters are mangled, and it is not very readable.
+
+Has anyone gotten xdvi to produce good results with 600dpi fonts?
+I was thinking that it might be best to build some pk files with
+resolution close to that of an X display, say 75 to 100dpi. Has
+anyone done that successfully? If so, what mf mode settings did
+you use?
+
+Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

+Subject: LaTeX2e -- A New Version of LaTeX
+
+The following announcement was made last week at the Annual meeting of
+the TeX User's Group (TUG) at Aston University, Birmingham, UK. There
+will be a new, standardised version of LaTeX (working name: LaTeX2e)
+being released before the end of 1993. Not much has been said about
+the new features; the perhaps most important point was that support
+for PostScript fonts will be built in.
+
+The text below was converted automatically from LaTeX source format
+into plain text by the dvidoc processor.
+
+
+ PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD
+
+
+ LaTeX2e -- A New Version of LaTeX
+
+ Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team
+
+ July 27, 1993
+
+
+
+1 Reasons For LaTeX2e
+
+There are two primary reasons for introducing a new version of
+LaTeX:
+
+ * Standardisation: a single format incorporating NFSS2, to
+ replace present multiplicity of incompatible formats (NFSS,
+ lfonts, pslfonts, etc.)
+
+ * Maintenance: a standardised system is essential to a
+ reliable maintenance policy.
+
+Note that LaTeX2e is only a ``working name''---thus this may
+change.
+
+
+2 Guiding Principles
+
+The following two guiding principles are to be followed:
+
+ I Unmodified version 2.09 input files will produce the same
+ output with LaTeX2e as with version 2.09.
+
+ II All new features of LaTeX2e will conform to the conventions
+ of version 2.09, making it as easy as possible for current
+ users to learn to use them.
+
+
+3 Preamble Commands
+
+In order to distinguish old (2.09) documents from those using
+facilities from the new version, LaTeX2e documents will use a
+different command on the first line.
+
+\documentclass[options]{class}
+
+ The \documentclass command specifies what kind of document
+this is---for example, article, book, letter, slide.
+
+\includepackage[options]{package}
+
+ Including a package adds new commands and/or redefines
+existing commands to provide additional functionality.
+
+\documentstyle[options,dvidoc]{style}
+
+ Invokes the LaTeX2.09 compatibility mode.
+
+
+4 Documentation
+
+The new version will be described in a new edition of LaTeX:
+A document preparation system by Leslie Lamport and in The
+LaTeX Companion by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin (both to be
+published by Addison-Wesley). The Companion will also contain a
+complete description of NFSS2.
+
+
+5 Distribution Policy
+
+Maintenace of the new system will be undertaken by the LaTeX3
+project team.
+ A complete distribution of all files, incorporating
+corrections of errors, will be made available twice a year on
+fixed dates. This will happen even if there were no changes to
+the files, and hence only the release dates have to be updated.
+ We are currently looking into the possibility of additionally
+distributing diff files.
+
+6 Error Reports
+
+Error reports can be made using a report generating program
+latexbug.tex. This will be part of the main distribution.
+ Error reports will be accepted only if the version of LaTeX2e
+that produces the error is not older than one year. Error
+reports can be sent to the following mail address:
+
+ latex-bugs@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
+
+or a postal address that is to be announced.

+
+The terms of all 15 members of the first elected Board of Directors
+will expire on December 31, 1993. The election to choose the new
+Board members will be held this fall, and nominations are invited.
+
+The Bylaws as amended July 25, 1993, provide that ``Any member may be
+nominated for election to
+the Board by submitting a nomination petition in accordance with the
+TUG Election Procedures. Election of the directors shall be by written
+mail ballot of the entire membership, carried out in accordance with
+those same Procedures. Each director will hold office for a term of
+three (3) years. Directors may be re-elected for successive terms.''
+
+The name of any member may be placed in nomination for election to
+this office by submission of a petition, signed by two other current
+(1993) members, to the TUG office by the announced deadline. A
+petition form is attached; additional forms may be obtained from the
+TUG office.
+
+Along with a petition form, each candidate is asked to supply a
+passport-size photograph, a short biography, and a statement of intent
+to be included with the ballot; the biography and statement of intent
+together may not exceed 400 words.
+
+The deadline for receipt at the TUG office of petitions and ballot
+information is September 1, 1993.
+
+For this election only, the lengths of some terms will be altered
+so that not all members of the Board are replaced at the same time,
+but only one-third. For Board members elected this year, all terms
+will begin January 1, 1994. Five members of the new Board will
+have terms that end with the 1995 annual meeting, five with the 1996
+annual meeting, and five with the 1997 annual meeting. Thereafter,
+all new terms will be for three years, from annual meeting to annual
+meeting. All positions will be elected this year on the same basis,
+and the members of each of the three groups chosen by lot by the
+ballot counter.
+
+Ballots will be mailed to all members about 30 days after the close
+of nominations. Marked ballots must be received no more than 6 weeks
+following the mailing; the exact date will be noted on the ballots.
+
+Ballots will be counted by a disinterested party not part of the TUG
+organization. The results of the election should be available by the
+end of November.

+Subject: DVI to (Acrobat) PDF driver
+
+Is anyone working on a DVI to PDF driver for DOS, Unix or OS/2?
+
+PDF is the Portable Document Format, the Adobe Acrobat file format,
+based on the PostScript imaging model, that is capable of representing
+any PostScript page.
+
+If we could get our TeX documents in PDF format, then we could use
+one of the Acrobat viewers, like Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Exchange,
+to preview our documents with all the benefits of the Acrobat technology
+(e.g. font metric emulation, zooming, panning, searching, post-it-like
+annotations, etc). With Adobe Exchange, we could print PDF documents
+on PostScript AND EVEN on non-PostScript printers.
+
+This, of course, assumes that Adobe Acrobat is going to take off,
+which I believe it will, and that the Adobe Acrobat products are going
+to be commonplace and not expensive. Today, you can get Acrobat Exchange
+for Windows and the Mac for about $120, in the U.S. Acrobat Reader sells
+for about $50. Acrobat Distiller, which converts PostScript to PDF,
+sells for $600, but this wouldn't be needed if we had a DVI2PDF driver ;-)
+Adobe says these products will run on Windows, Mac, DOS and Unix (and OS/2
+I hope), in that order. Also, last week I saw a thin (%180 page) PDF specs
+book published by Adobe, at a local bookstore.
+
+I would really like to hear your thoughts on the merits of a DVI2PDF driver.

+Subject: re: Why \markboth{}{} used in standard LaTeX report style?
+
+In addition to Jerry Leichter's reply in the last issue of TeXhax, I
+received some e-mail responses which suggested alternative
+work-arounds for my problems with headings in the UCTHESIS style.
+
+The most useful came from Mike Piff <M.Piff@sheffield.ac.uk>, who
+recommended that I use either headerfooter.sty or fancyheadings.sty.
+I tried headerfooter.sty and had great success. For this, Mike has my
+eternal gratitude and a standing offer of his choice of libation
+should our paths ever cross.
+
+Jerry replied directly to my technical question. I was sorry to see
+that a documented feature like the \pagestyle{myheadings} should be so
+fragile. Since his answer didn't really solve my problem, he gets
+only temporary gratitude but I'll be happy buy him his choice of
+libation, too.

+Subject: xdvik 1.1 & PostScript font bitmaps available
+
+I've released new versions of:
+* kpathsea -- my path searching library,
+* xdvik -- my modified xdvi that uses it, and
+* psfonts -- Ghostscript-generated bitmaps for the standard PostScript fonts.
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,psfonts}.tar.gz
+
+Please notice the `.gz' instead of `.z' or `.Z' -- the default gzip
+extension was changed in response to a poll on the GNU newsgroups.
+
+I've stopped making the library available separately, since that was
+causing maintenance hassles. The library is part of the xdvik distribution.
+
+I've established a mailing list, tex-k@cs.umb.edu, for bug reports and
+discussions for the TeX-related stuff I maintain. I hope this will
+provide for sharing of interim fixes, quicker help when I cannot respond
+immediately, and so on. To join, email tex-k-request@cs.umb.edu with a
+message whose body contains a line
+subscribe your-preferred-email-address
+
+I expect to release a new version of dvipsk shortly, perhaps within a week
+or two. web2c will follow as soon as possible.
+
+Here's the NEWS:
+
+kpathsea:

+Subject: A raw encoding file for type1 text fonts
+
+Over the course of a rich discussion of virtual fonts, I have
+finally come to understand and appreciate the full usefulness
+of Tom Rokicki's careful distinction between input encoding
+and output encoding in afm2tfm. In a virtual font environment
+it answers several questions that have recently been raised about
+the proper encoding of a {\em raw} tfm file. The raw tfm
+should contain references to every simple (non-composite)
+character in the actual list of glyphs, and it need not contain
+anything else. Dozens of possible output encodings are
+possible, among which DC will of course be a major player,
+but all those reencodings will be easier and more portable
+if there is only one {\em raw} encoding. The raw encoding should
+provide for {\em every} simple character in the font, including
+all the unmapped characters. Fortunately, the list of
+unmapped characters is almost as consistent as Adobe Standard
+Encoding at least in text fonts. I propose therefore
+the following ASEX.enc (Adobe Standard Coding Extended)
+to be used with the -p flag in afm2tfm. What is used for
+the -t flag is wide open, but it can certainly include DC.enc
+
+There remains the question of what to do about the various
+Superfont layouts: Courier in its most prolific version has
+352 simple characters and the Monotype TimesNewRomanSF Superfont
+has 337 simple characters. In the case of TimesNewRoman, the
+excess is the result of combining the regular with the expert
+font, and all that is needed is to code the expert part back
+out into an expert raw TFM file. Then there are only 12 U&lc pairs
+of additional simple characters. A similar approach can be taken
+with Courier; many of the symbol characters, together with the
+borders and dingbats do not belong in a tex encoding anyway.
+
+% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
+%
+% This is ASEX encoding. (file ASEX.enc)
+%
+% Adobe Standard Encoding Extended.
+%
+% Creator: Pierre A. MacKay mackay@cs.washington.edu
+% Creation Date: Thu Aug 31 08:56:22 PDT 1993
+%
+% This is an input coding file for use with Radical Eye Software's
+% afm2tfm. Use with the -p flag. This file should also be
+% used with ps2pk to create a complete set of bitmapped
+% characters.
+%
+% The sole purpose of this file is to ensure that all non-composite
+% characters in the font are made available in the raw TFM. Therefore
+% there are no ligatures or any other refinements. The raw TFM
+% file contains no ligatures or kernings---nothing but character
+% metrics. We retain Adobe Standard encoding for all mapped
+% characters on the AFM file, and extend the list by adding
+% the unmapped simple characters into the empty code positions
+% from O 200 to O 240. It is assumed that the output coding used
+% for the TeX tfm will be different from this ( -t flag in afm2tfm ).
+%
+% The extended part of this encoding is consistent with the general
+% run of text fonts from Adobe, BitStream, DTC, Linotype, Monotype,
+% URW and probably others as well. For SuperFont characters, see below.
+%
+% Jan Michael Rynnings has pointed out that a few very carefully designed
+% fonts, e. g. Adobe Garamond and Adobe Caslon, treat all the accented
+% characters as simple glyphs (must make for a huge pfa file), and that
+% this input encoding would not recognize such refinements. True---but
+% such fonts will be a tiny minority, and can be dealt with by
+% special encoding files.
+%
+% Usage:
+% afm2tfm <FontName>.afm -p ASEX.enc -t <XXX>.enc -v <vplname> <rawname>
+%
+/ASEXEncoding [ % now 256 chars follow
+%
+% The following will replace the characters from 0 to 32 in the raw encoding
+% if you have access to a SuperFont. There is reason to hope that this
+% set will be as stable as the unmapped set in current text fonts
+% If you don't have a SuperFont, and have to create any of these as a
+% composite, precede the name with a dot, as is done here for
+% Scedilla and scedilla. The change in name keeps afm2tfm from thinking
+% that the character already exists when it comes to evaluate the output
+% (-t flag) encoding.

+
+I know this will start a flame war, but...
+
+The combination of (i) input encoding, (ii) output encoding, plus
+(iii) virtual font permutation of numeric codes between 0 - 255 is
+unneccessarily complex and confusing. A much simpler approach
+just uses the idea of the encoding vector per se. That is,
+a mapping from numeric codes (0 - 255) to glyph names.
+DVI processors need the capability to reencode a font on the fly
+anyway, and the encoding vector provides the mechanism.
+Obviously, ONE mapping instead of THREE mappings in series is much
+easier to understand and implement, and is in fact all that is needed.
+
+To be concrete, an encoding can be specified in a file
+containing lines like the following:
+
+ 32 space
+ 65 A
+
+etc. (or whatever equivalent way you want to use to define the
+encoding). Such a file can be read by DVI file processors, as well as
+programs that produce metric files in various formats, including
+TFM for TeX, PFM for Windows, screen fonts for Mac etc. Nothing
+could be simpler!
+
+While I am at it, it is also not necessary to force users to resort
+to virtual fonts just because they want a different font layout,
+or because they are using TrueType or Type 1 fonts! It IS possible
+to make TFM files complete with proper ligature and kerning information,
+WITHOUT virtual fonts. And it certainly is a lot less confusing.
+
+Virtual fonts have many interesting applications, but they are NOT needed
+for reencoding, and in fact, in and of themselves are quite inadequate for
+reencoding. The reason is that virtual fonts per se can only provide a
+PERMUTATION of the encoding vector, since they ONLY deal with numeric
+codes --- because VF, like TeX itself treat characters as numbers.
+Hence unencoded characters CANNOT be made accessible by the VF mechanism
+itself. Which is why all DVI drivers need in ADDITION a mechanism for
+actually reencoding a font. And once you have THAT, you do not need
+to use the numeric permutation of the VF to achieve reencoding!
+
+It is easy to be mislead by one particular implementation, which
+(i) forces one to use VF whenever using anything but bitmapped CM fonts,
+and which (ii) forces use of a complex sequence of three mappings rather than
+simply the single overall encoding, and (iii) cannot create TFM files
+complete with ligatures and kerning WITHOUT resorting to VF.
+
+Nothing could be more intuitive than the idea of the `encoding vector'
+
+Now for some minor details:
+
+> ...all the unmapped characters. Fortunately, the list of

+> Encoding at least in text fonts. I propose therefore...
+
+The set of available glyphs is only consistent amongst Adobe fonts
+(which uses the same basic set of 228 glyphs for most text fonts).
+Other vendors implement other sets of glyphs. Lucida Bright text fonts for
+example have many additional glyphs not found in Adobe text fonts (for a
+total of 247). An approach based on a fixed `input encoding' that may
+not cover these extra characters is obviously inferior to one using a
+single encoding vector. It also cannot cope with the case where there
+are more than 256 glyphs in a font (Lucida Sans Linedraw has 400).
+
+> There remains the question of what to do about the various

+
+There are many fonts that have more than 256 characters, including some
+of the Lucida family (Lucida UNICODE has over a thousand). You cannot
+deal with all of these using a fixed `input encoding'. If, however, you
+drop the idea of THREE sequential mappings and simple use the idea of an
+encoding vector there is no issue here. You just specify what glyph
+you want each number to call up. And your driver should allow you to
+use the same basic font under two TFM names with different encoding.
+Of course, without partial font downloading of Type 1 fonts (provided
+only by DVIPSONE), working with these large fonts (like the IBM
+version of Courier) can become quite unwieldy.
+
+% The sole purpose of this file is to ensure that all non-composite
+% characters in the font are made available in the raw TFM. Therefore
+% there are no ligatures or any other refinements. The raw TFM
+% file contains no ligatures or kernings---nothing but character
+
+There is no need for separate `raw' TFM and another TFM for a font.
+Why use two TFM files when one will do? One CAN construct a single
+TFM file complete with ligatures and kerning based on any user specified
+encoding, as already stated above.
+
+Also, if you take the `three mapping' approach, you want to make sure
+that the composite characters ARE in the encoding. You do not want to
+use TeX's \accent to construct composites. Nor should the virtual font
+mechanism be used to construct composites that the font designer has
+already created, presumably with careful attention to positioning, and in
+some cases by actually designing separate glyphs (for example, shallower
+accents for upper case characters than for lower case).
+
+Almost all text fonts have separate character programs for composite
+characters, hence these are real characters in their own right. True, in
+many cases these character programs do use either the `seac' Type 1
+operator, or `Subr' calls and hence similar shapes can be achieved by
+combining the base and accent character with suitable positioning. However,
+in some cases the rendering will not be as good at low resolution, and most
+fonts treat at least Ccedilla, ccedilla, and Aring as complete separate
+glyphs that cannot be achieved by overprinting (The reason is that one does
+not want overlapping contours when the character is `stroked' instead of
+`filled').
+
+So if you are going to take this approach you'd want to include at least
+the `standard' 58 composites in your `input encoding'. Of course, with
+some fonts you then start to run out of space in the limited 0 - 255
+range. Which is another reason why the idea of just a single encoding
+vector is much to be preferred to the `three map' approach.

+
+The names for basic characters (like `exclam') are pretty much generally
+agreed upon (even to the point of accepting the misspelled `guillemot' for
+`guillemet'!). However, when it comes to some of the above there is
+absolutely no agreement, and you enter the arena of current corporate
+warfare. It may make sense to use AFII glyph numbers for these characters,
+as Adobe seems to suggest, or it may make sense to use UNICODE numbers as
+MicroSoft seems to believe, or we may use the names used by Apple, etc.
+Should it be Trightcommaaccent, Tcaron, Thacek, 0164 (hex), AFII100256, or
+... ?
+
+Again, a fixed `input encoding' is guaranteed to loose out in the end
+because of such incompatabilities.
+
+Anyway, these are minor issues. My main point is that designing a unique
+`input encoding' is not a useful excercise since it is solving a problem
+unqiue to one implementation which happens to use a complex system of three
+mappings where one mapping (the encoding vector) is in fact all that is needed.

+
+This was a hard one to track down. I could claim that it was all my fault...
+
+The entries on the save stack are not the result of the \global\@namedef,
+which as suggested above never needs to use such a thing. They come from
+the earlier \@ifundefined call in \newlabel.
+
+Change #337 in tex82.bug numbering, applied in TeX 2.9, changed the implicit
+setting of an undefined control sequence referenced via \csname...\endcsname
+to \relax (TeXbook, page 213) from being (sort of) global to being local to
+the current group. Don made this change as a direct result of my posting to
+TeXhax (year 1987, digest 103) pointing out that the TeXbook didn't correctly
+describe what happened.
+
+The change was a potent source of new bugs, because TeX was not originally
+designed to cope with token expansion have side-effects of modifying the
+save stack (see in particular change #371 in tex82.bug). I have more than
+once wondered whether I should have kept quiet about the whole business...
+
+In an ideal world, the problem wouldn't arise because the implicit setting
+to \relax wouldn't occur at all (IMNSHO). But everything (especially LaTeX)
+relies on it now, so it's (far) too late to change it. Something to be got
+right in the next incarnation.

+
+In what {\em available} driver? I have the problem of trying to make a
+variety of accented glyphs available in a variety of environments,
+where even the assumption of VF capabilities is questionable, but
+where it is at least possible to suggest to the user that an upgrade
+to VF capability is a good idea. Alternatively the dvidvi tool makes

+can handle them.

+Yes, it is, in any number of ways---VPtoVF produces just such a
+TFM, and if you have a way to avoid the VF file, I guess that's OK too.

+
+This assumes that the only problem is remapping. It isn't. Let's
+just take the simple problem of f-ligatures, which in many existing
+fonts are split between regular and "expert" layouts (which does
+lamentable things to TeX's ligature and hyphenation capabilities).
+What VF allows is the ability to make up a tfm that will ultimately call out
+characters from more than one file of glyphs, or to supplement
+defective fonts (e.g. a font with lots of nice directional arrows, but
+all pointing to the west half of the compass) by incorporating Postscript
+adjustments.

+
+Especially in the case of METAFONT output, but not alone there, VF
+techniques allow me to
+"use the same basic font under two TFM names with different encoding."
+ That is one of the things I like best about
+them. It is possible to make a single font up with different sets of
+ligatures and even with looser or tighter kerning (and I do NOT mean
+tracking). Unicode may have over a thousand registered glyphs, but it
+happens to omit the couple of dozen that are used by orientalist scholars all
+over the world for non latin-letter languages in transcription. One
+of the chief reasons for working with VF was to supply these for
+Turkish and for Arabic in Roman transcription. Since the Greek fonts
+produced by all the major foundries I know of are aggressively
+monotone (Monotype half-promises a Porson Greek, but the last time I
+asked the promise was well into the future) VF is needed for Greek as
+well.
+

+
+In the case of METAFONT output, the complete tfm as distributed can be
+used as a raw TFM. That works because TeXText encoding is as
+predictable as Adobe Standard Encoding. What raw fonts need is
+predictable encoding. I suppose there may be other ways, but I have
+found it serves very well to supply the needed accent composites even
+for Computer Modern (or Concrete, or Pandora) by creating (e.g.)
+cmr10.afm and running it through the afm2tfm and vptovf processes.
+There may be a better way, but this uses existing tools and has the
+virtue that the results can be made available to a wide variety of
+users who need only to be sure that they have VF capabilities.
+

+
+Granted---that is exactly the reason for working with VF and providing
+preset and carefully adjusted composites.
+

+
+There are a few such fonts, and clearly Lucida should have been added
+to the mention of Adobe Caslon and Garamond. But the majority, even
+including some of the best classical designs, use composites. Should
+the composite recipes in officially issued afm files be considered to
+be barefaced lies? I agree entirely about the flatter accents for
+Upper case, and in some conventions the Upper Case letters are
+squatted down so that the accent does not project quite so alarmingly
+over the type shoulder. For a given publication in a given font I am
+prepared to work these refinements out even in a font that does not
+otherwise have them. But then I have to use VF composites to create
+the composite glyphs. To achieve this it is commonly necessary to
+take the substrate letter from one font and the accent from another
+(for example, a transformed copy of the substrate font). I regret
+having to second-guess the designer but it is all part of the problem
+created by the open-ended nature of accented character sets. Remember
+that even Unicode lacks many accent combinations that are in
+widespread international use for Arabic, Persian Turkish in Romanized
+transcription.

+
+I seem to remember that I recommended leaving the Ccedilla and ccedilla
+as encoded simplex characters, even though about half the fonts I am
+looking at treat them as composites. Aring is a composite in all the fonts
+I presently have available to study, though I recognize that the taste
+of the literate public most likely to use the letter disaproves of the
+way an unadjusted Aring towers over the rest of a line. The last
+point about stroked characters is an important one, and what it really
+emphasizes is that if you genuinely care about the fonts you choose
+you have to be prepared to treat them as individuals, and not try to
+set them according to a Procrustean general coding. Hold on now---the
+intent is not so much to fix input encoding into concrete as to
+{\em stabilize} it so that output encoding can be fluid.

+
+Perhaps I should have left those out. Unicode would probably be the
+best bet, but when is that likely to be generally recognized?

+Subject: Metafont settings in DECUS distribution?
+
+A colleague got TeX-and-friends for VAX/VMS via DECUS.
+
+The DECUS suite includes .pk files. I guess that these were generated with
+some Metafont settings intended for DEC's LN03.
+
+When my colleague uses these .pk files for output on our Hewlett-Packard
+LaserJet IIISi, he gets output that (some say) seems "better" than the
+output that other people get using the (CanonCX?) settings that, from
+modes.mf, one might expect to do well on a IIISi.
+
+To consider using such .pk files on non-VMS systems, one would need to know
+the relevant Metafont settings. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a
+consensus about what should be done for an LN03 (assuming that LN03 is the
+DECUS target printer). At Aston, [tex-archive.metafont.vms] suggests
+blacker=0.2 (or 0.3, or 0.65)
+fillin=-0.4
+o_correction=0.5
+while [tex-archive.metafont.contrib] suggests (for RicohLP=LN03)
+blacker= 0.65
+fillin=-0.2
+o_correction=0.5
+
+Does anyone know what Metafont settings were actually used to generate the
+.pk files in the DECUS distribution?

+Subject: Flushing Inserts ('\midinsert', '\topinsert', etc.)
+
+Dear TeX Hackers,
+
+I am looking for a command to flush inserts created with either
+'\midinsert' or '\topinsert' (call this new fictional command
+'\flushinsert'). Here is my problem. I am writing a conference
+paper in plain TeX and I have several figures (each enclosed in a
+'\topinsert') near the end of the document. I am also using
+BibTeX with the macro file 'btxmac.tex' to produce my reference
+list. The editor of the conference proceedings wants the
+reference list to start after the last figure, but not
+necessarily on a new page. I would like to have a command
+'\flushinsert' to flush the figures and start the reference list
+afterwards.
+
+I have solved the problem temporarily by enclosing the last three
+figures in a '\pageinsert' and doing a '\break' just before the
+reference list. However, a more general solution to this
+problem would be nice. I can make my document and figures
+available, if necessary.
+
+As an aside, can someone please explain the functional
+difference between '\break' in vertical mode and '\eject'?
+
+Thanks,
+Bill

+Subject: How do you single-space captions in a double-spaced document?
+
+Hi -
+
+I'm the person maintaining the UCTHESIS style for LaTeX. This style
+approximates double-spacing by setting the \baselinestretch to 1.37.
+However, certain elements of the document must be single-spaced. To
+do this, the style uses the \ssp macro:
+
+\def\ssp{\def\baselinestretch{1.0}\large\normalsize}
+
+Here is an example of the \ssp macro being used to make tabular
+environments be single-spaced:
+
+\def\tabular{\par\ssp\let\@halignto\@empty\@tabular}
+
+One document element I'd also like to be single-spaced is captions for
+figures and tables, so the style includes the following code:
+
+\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
+ \vskip 10\p@
+ \setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{#1: #2}%
+ \ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize % IF longer than one line:
+ {\ssp#1: #2}\par % THEN set as ordinary paragraph.
+ \else % ELSE center.
+ \hbox to\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
+ \fi}
+
+But this does not work even though the 5th line clearly invokes the
+\ssp macro. I've been able to use the \message macro to
+check the value of \baselinestretch at every point in that line. The
+value starts at 1.37, changes to 1.00 immediately after the \ssp
+macro, and returns to 1.37 after the closing brace. I suspect that
+there is something tricky about the way captions are handled because
+they are in floats, but I am not able to figure it out.
+
+Can anyone help with this problem?

+Subject: Virtual fonts, aliases problem in LaTeX and DVIPS.
+
+Hello TeX experts,
+
+Re: LaTeX, DVIPS fonts, aliases problem
+
+I would be most grateful if you could help me with the 2 problems below.
+
+My VAX VMS site has experienced peculiar problems with LaTeX and DVIPS
+with regards to the new virtual fonts.
+
+Problem 1
+- ---------
+Around 9/1992, I got all the TeX and DVIPS savesets from the ftp site
+ymir.claremont.edu. I then installed them. The DVIPS is by Tomas Rokicki,
+version 5490 and has the virtual fonts (e.g. ptmr.vf, ptmr.tfm and rptmr.tfm)
+with it which I installed.
+
+Lately, some users been using postscript fonts such as times-roman and
+helvetica. When they tried to do LaTeX, it complained bad fonts. WHY????
+Are my TeX and LaTeX too old? I have $set watch file/class=all on and
+it was accessing the ptmri.tfm alright.
+
+See the trace below:
+
+bauple> latex vhhl
+This is TeX, Version 3.14 [PD VMS 3.3a] (preloaded format=lplain 92.2.15)
+(DSKC:[TEX.TESTING]VHHL.TEX;6
+LaTeX Version 2.09 <14 January 1992>
+(TEX_ROOT:[INPUTS.LOCAL]QITDOC.STY;1
+Document Style 'qitdoc'. Version 0.05 --- 1988 May 27
+(TEX_ROOT:[INPUTS.LOCAL]QITDOC11.STY;1)) (DSKC:[TEX.TESTING]VHHL.AUX;2)
+! Font \txxx=ptmri at 36.0pt not loadable: Bad metric (TFM) file.
+
+So I used AFM2TFM and then VPTOVF to regenerate the fonts which resolved the
+problem.
+
+Problem 2
+- ---------
+My users did not like to use aliases for fonts names. So, what I did was
+to use the same conventional names as the alias name in the psfonts.map file
+and using these long names in the AFM2TFM and VPTOVF commands. What this
+means is that times-roman.tfm is not the old font but the virtual font.
+Is there any implications for other programs?
+
+I found out my XDVI (pre 1989) did not like the new fonts and I read somewhere
+that only XDVI 1.4 or later can handle virtual fonts. Is this correct?
+
+Thanks in advance,
+

+Subject: Elsevier Science announces availability of ESP-LaTeX
+
+Elsevier Science has the pleasure to announce the availability of their
+ESP-LaTeX package from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN).
+
+In order to assist authors in preparing their papers for articles published
+by Elsevier Science Publishers in such a way that their files can be used to
+print the article, we have developed a LaTeX package ESP-LaTeX, consisting of
+a document style `espart' and a booklet with instructions to authors.
+
+Authors are kindly requested to use the `espart' document style. This
+document style, which produces a preprint-like output, enables the Publisher
+to adapt the article to the layout and style of the journal in which the
+article will appear (the Publisher will replaced `espart' by a
+journal-specific production document style).
+
+The ESP-LaTeX package contains the following files. Please make sure that
+you retrieve all these files.
+
+readme.esp Brief instructions.
+
+espart.sty The main document style. Copy this to the directory
+ where all other .sty files are.
+
+espart12.sty The pointsize-related definitions. Copy this to the
+ directory where all other .sty files are.
+
+The ESP-LaTeX package can be obtained using anonymous FTP from the
+Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN):

+Subject: Abbreviation marks for feet and inches
+
+From time to time I need to write LaTeX documents that include measurements in
+feet and inches. What I'm looking for is a method of using the ' and " marks
+to abbreviate feet and inches.
+
+I've tried several simple macros, but with limited success.
+
+\newcommand{\inch}{{\tt "}}
+
+This does exactly what I want for inches, but I can't seem to get a similar
+vertical mark for feet -- what I really would like is half of the " mark in the
+
+\tt font. {\tt '} and {\tt `} give "curled" marks, and \verb doesn't seem to
+help either.
+
+As an alternative, I've also tried:
+
+\newcommand{\feet}{$^{^{\small\prime}}$}
+
+\newcommand{\inch}{\feet\feet}
+
+At least the marks are consistent with each other, but I'm not really satisfied
+with the results. (Most of the time I use \large for the type size of my text.
+)
+
+Can anyone make any other suggestions?
+
+Thanks for your help, Bill

+Subject: DVIJEP -j option for VAX/VMS systems
+
+I'm doing some work in LaTeX using the picture environment, and I want to do it
+in landscape mode. PORTLAND.STY does the trick, and XDVI handles the output
+nicely for screen display. However, when I convert it to print on my HP
+LaserJet IIP using DVIJEP, all text wider than 7.50in gets truncated.
+
+I'm using the February, 1991 distribution of the DECUS TeX Collection for
+VAX/VMS systems. I looked around in [TEX_SOURCE.DVI], and found that Nelson
+Beebe mentions an update for DVIJEP in his message dated 26-May-1988, which is
+contained in the file 00MAIL.16.
+
+There is also a file called DVIJEP.LANDSCAPEMODS, which is a mail message from
+Julian Perry containing the source code modifications needed to implement the
+- -j option for DVIJEP. The -j option is used to convert .DVI files that are
+generated in landscape mode.
+
+Does anyone have an updated version of DVIJEP on a VAX/VMS system that allows
+the use of the -j option? I need either object or executable code, as I don't
+have a C compiler. An .EXE would need to be linked under VMS 5.4-2 or earlier.
+
+I do not have access to ftp. I believe that the VMSmail command SEND/FOREIGN
+would work if the sender is using a MIME compliant mailer.
+
+Several sources in DECUS have been unable to help with this request.
+
+Thanks in advance, Bill

+
+Report on the Inaugural Meeting of the NTS Core Group: September, 1993.
+=========================================================================
+
+This is a report on the inaugural meeting of the NTS (`New Typesetting System')
+project group, held during the autumn DANTE meeting at Kaiserslautern (Germany)
+
+on 23rd and 25th September, 1993.
+
+Present: Joachim Lammarsch (DANTE President, and instigator of the NTS project)
+;
+ Philip Taylor (Technical co-ordinator, NTS project);
+ Marion Neubauer (minutes secretary);
+ Prof. Dr. Peter Breitenlohner,
+ Mariusz Olko,
+ Bernd Raichle,
+ Joachim Schrod,
+ Friedhelm Sowa.
+
+Background: Although the NTS project has been in existence for approximately
+eighteen months, there has not previously been a face-to-face meeting of
+members of the core group; at the Spring meeting of DANTE Rainer Sch\"opf
+announced his resignation as technical co-ordinator, and Philip Taylor was
+invited by Rainer and Joachim to take over as co-ordinator, which he agreed to
+do.
+
+Joachim Lammarsch opened the Autumn meeting by reviewing the history of the
+project and the rationale which lay behind its creation; each member of the
+group then briefly reviewed his or her particular area of interest in the
+project, after which the group received an extended presentation from Joachim
+Schrod on one possible approach to the realisation of NTS. The members of the
+group were broadly in support of the approach outlined by Joachim Schrod, and
+it was \stress {agreed} that this should form the basis for discussions at the
+meeting.
+
+The approach proposed by Joachim may be summarised as follows: {\TeX} in its
+present form is not amenable to modification; the code, although highly
+structured in some ways, is also painfully monolithic in others, and any
+attempt to modify the present code in anything other than trivial ways is
+almost certainly doomed to failure. Accordingly, before attempting to modify
+{\TeX} in any way it is first necessary to re-implement it, the idea
+behind such re-implementation being to eliminate the interdependencies of
+the present version and to replace these with a truly modular structure,
+allowing various elements of the typesetting process to be easily modified or
+replaced. This re-implementation should be undertaken in a language suitable
+for rapid prototyping, such as the Common Lisp Object System (`CLOS'). The
+primary reason for the re-implementation is to provide modularisation with
+specified internal interfaces and therby provide a test bed, firstly to ensure
+that {\TeX} has been properly re-implemented and subsequently to allow the
+investigation of new typesetting paradigms.
+
+Once a working test bed has been created, and compatibility with existing
+{\TeX} demonstrated, a second re-implementation will be undertaken; this
+re-implementation will have the same modular structure as the test bed but will
+be implemented with efficiency rather than extensibility in mind, and will be
+undertaken using a combination of literate programming and a widespread
+language with a more traditional approach, such as `C++'. When this second
+version has also been demonstrated to be compatible with {\TeX}, it will be
+made available to implementors around the world, the idea being to encourage
+people to migrate to NTS by demonstrating its complete compatibility with
+{\TeX} (the test bed will also be made available if there is interest shewn
+in its use). Thereafter new ideas and proposals will be investigated using the
+test bed, and if found to be successful these will be re-implemented in the
+distribution version.
+
+The main problem which the group identified with the approach outlined by
+Joachim was simply one of resources: in order to accomplish two
+re-implementations within a reasonable time-scale, it would be essential to use
+paid labour, it being estimated that each re-implementation requires a
+minimum of four man-months work to produce a prototype, and eight man-months to
+reach the production stage. As this is far beyond the ability of members of the
+group to contribute in the short term, it is clearly necessary to employ a
+small team (of between two and four members) to carry out the re-implementations
+under the guidance and supervision of one or more members of the core group.
+Initial costings suggested that this could not be accomplished within the
+present financial resources of the group, and accordingly it was \stress
+{agreed} that Joachim Lammarsch should seek further financial support.
+Subsequent investigations shewed that a quite significant reduction in costs
+could be achieved if the programming team were sited in a central or eastern
+European country, particularly if the members of the team were also residents
+of the country; this approach is being investigated.
+
+As it was obvious that no immediate progress could be made with Joachim
+Schrod's proposal, even though the group agreed that it represented an
+excellent philosophical approach, it was also \stress {agreed} that the group
+needed to identify some fallback approaches, which could (a)~be commenced
+immediately, and (b)~would be of significant benefit to the {\TeX} community at
+large. The group identified two such projects, these being (1)~the
+specification of a canonical {\TeX} kit, and (2)~the implementation of an
+extended {\TeX} (to be known as e-{\TeX}) based on the present WEB
+implementation. It was also \stress {agreed} that Marek Ry\'cko \& Bogus{\l}aw
+Jackowski would be asked if they were willing to co-ordinate the first of these
+activities, and that Peter Breitenlohner would co-ordinate the second.
+
+The ideas behind the two proposals are as follows.
+
+(1)~The canonical {\TeX} kit: at the moment, the most that can be assumed of
+ any site offering {\TeX} is (a)~ini{\TeX}; (b)~plain {\TeX}; (c)~{\LaTeX};
+ and (d)~at least sixteen Computer Modern fonts. Whilst these are adequate
+ for a restricted range of purposes, it is highly desirable when transferring
+ documents from another site to be able to assume the existence of a far
+ wider range of utilities. For example, it may be necessary to rely on
+ BibTeX, or on MakeIndex; it may be useful to be able to assume the existence
+ of BM2FONT; and so on. Rather than simply say ``all of these can be found
+ on the nearest CTAN archive'', it would be better if all implementations
+ contained a standard subset of the available tools. It is therefore the aim
+ of this project to identify what the elements of this subset should be, and
+
+ then to liaise with developers and implementors to ensure that this subset
+ is available for, and distributed with, each {\TeX} implementation.
+
+(2)~Extended {\TeX} (e-{\TeX}): whilst the test bed and production system
+ approach is philosophically very sound, the reality at the moment is
+ that the group lacks the resources to bring it to fruition. None the
+ less, there are many areas in which a large group of existing {\TeX}
+ users believe that improvements could be made within the philosophical
+ constraints of the existing {\TeX} implementation. E-{\TeX} is an
+ attempt to satisfy their needs which could be accomplished without a
+ major investment of resources, and which can pursued without the need
+ for additional paid labour.
+
+Finally the group agreed to individually undertake particular responsibilities;
+these are to be:
+
+Peter Breitenlohner: Remove any existing incompatibilities between
+{\TeX}--{\XeT} and {\TeX}, with the idea of basing further e-{\TeX}
+developments on {\TeX}--{\XeT}; liaise with Chris Thompson concerning
+portability of the code; produce a catalogue of proposed extensions to
+e-{\TeX}.
+
+Joachim Lammarsch: liaise with vendors and publishers in an attempt to raise
+money for the implementation of NTS proper; arrange a further meeting of
+interested parties; liaise with Eberhard Mattes concerning the present
+constraints on the unbundling of em{\TeX}; negotiate with leading academics
+concerning possible academic involvement in the project.
+
+Mariusz Olko: take responsibility for the multi-lingual aspects of e-{\TeX} and
+NTS; discuss the possibility of siting the NTS programming team in Poland;
+discuss the possibility of academic involvement with leading Polish academics.
+
+Bernd Raichle: endeavour to get {\TeX}--{\XeT} integrated into the standard
+UNIX distribution; prepare a list of proposed extensions to e-{\TeX}; lead
+discussions on NTS-L.
+
+Friedhelm Sowa: primary responsibility for finance; prepare proposals for a
+unified user interface and for unification of the integration of graphics;
+liaise with the Czech/Slovak groups concerning possible siting of the NTS
+programming team in the Czech Republic or Slovakia; discuss possible academic
+involvement with leading academics.
+
+Philip Taylor: Overall technical responsibility for all aspects of the project;
+liaise with other potential NTS core group members; prepare and circulate a
+summary of the decisions of this and future meetings.

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] announcing the French Style Files distribution V3,25
+
+ I'm pleased to announce the availability of the so called
+"French Style Files" distribution V3,25 on the French archives server of
+GUTenberg at ftp.univ-rennes1.fr in directory pub/GUTenberg/french
+
+ I recall that this package is intended for people willing to deal with
+French documents or multi-lingual documents with TeX, LaTeX, etc...
+
+ Below is the file giving the major changes since the last distributed
+version V3,20 in may, 1993.
+
+Enjoy,
+

+
+
+% fichier Changements de la distribution << style french >>
+===============================================================================
+Voici les principaux changements intervenus dans la distribution du
+style french V3,25 du 25 novembre 1993 par rapport a la V3.20 du 11 mai 1993 :
+
+A NOTER que presque tous les fichiers ont ete modifies.
+
+ Il s'agit d'une version consolidee permettant l'utilisation du
+dispositif NFSS2 (New Font Selection Scheme version 2) qui sera introduit
+a peu pres sous sa forme actuelle dans LaTeX2e. La prochaine distribution
+des fichiers de francisation devrait etre relative a cette nouvelle version
+de LaTeX.
+
+Ameliorations apportees :
+ - au niveau de la francisation :
+ - un mot suivi d'une \footnote peut desormais etre
+ divise en fin de ligne ;
+ - lettrines produites de facon plus rigoureuse ;
+ possibilite d'imposer le nombre de lignes ;
+ - mise en page du style letter ;
+ - ajout de \prefacename comme dans la distribution de Babel ;
+ - traitement des guillemets modifie (pour laisser la
+ possibilite a l'utilisateur de redefinir des macros
+ ayant des noms composes des caracteres < ou >) ;
+ - \begin{french} et \end{french} sont autorises avec LaTeX ;
+ - prise en compte de NFSS2 et de son << Encoding Scheme >> ;
+ - utilisation possible avec le moteur TeX--XeT ;
+ - la << contribution >> allemande a ete remise a jour par son
+ auteur, Marc Torzynski.
+
+Nouveaux outils proposes :
+
+ - possibilite de preciser son clavier personnel (keyboard.dat)
+ en le chargeant par \documentstyle[keyboard,...]{...}
+ (ce dispositif est en beta-test) ;
+ particulierement utile dans le cas d'installation multi-utilisateurs
+ ou lorsque le << codepage >> est amene a etre change souvent.
+
+ - mise en oeuvre de convertisseurs 7-bits <==> 8-bits a partir
+ du fichier keyboard.dat personnel (un compilateur C est necessaire
+ pour la generation de ces convertisseurs realises avec TeX et lex).
+ Est particulierement utile pour l'envoi de documents ASCII 7-bits
+ sur les reseaux.
+
+Corrections de bogues :
+
+ - utilisation depuis plain TeX ;
+ - < et > dans le mode mathematique d'AmSLaTeX ;
+ - definition de \vert et de \bibcite etaient incorrectes ;
+ - \c est corrige comme dans la distribution de MlTeX ;
+ - elimination de blancs intempestifs a la suite de \endnonfrench
+ et \endguillemets ;
+ - \cite[X] n'imprimait pas X a la francaise ;
+ - \wrongtypedspaces pouvait etre utilise par erreur en francais.
+
+Contournements :
+ - de quelques problemes introduits par NFSS2 (\input non standard,
+ messages contenant des caracteres non proteges) ;
+ - de la methode utilisee dans seminar.sty (ou xcomment.sty) pour produire
+ uniquement des transparents (option slidesonly) ;
+
+ La conformite des fichiers de la distribution est maintenant assuree
+par la mise en place d'un << checksum >> qui a ete calcule par le programme
+(du domaine public) de Robert M. Soloway. Ce code est inscrit dans tous les
+fichiers ou cela s'est avere possible et utile. Vous pouvez donc verifier
+la validite de vos fichiers en leur appliquant ce programme (avec l'option -v).
+Vous devez obtenir le message :
+ << The checksum verification of the input file was successful. >>
+Si vous obtenez le message :
+ << The checksum verification of the input file did not succeed. >>
+alors cela signifie que vos fichiers ne sont pas d'origine.
+
+ Des formulaires << d'installation correcte >> et << d'incidents >>
+sont fournis pour etre completes et renvoyes a l'adresse indiquee.
+
+Mes remerciements vont a tous ceux qui ont signale des problemes ou
+suggere des ameliorations.

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] German dictionary available for ftp
+
+I have made a German dictionary for ispell available for ftp on
+ftp.cs.ucla.edu, in the directory pub/ispell/languages/deutsch. The
+dictionary was developed some time ago by Martin Schulz, who was
+unable to distribute it. He passed it on to me with a request that I
+make it available, and somehow I managed to lose track of his request.
+I am embarrassed about how long it took me to rediscover it, but
+"better late than never", so it's there for the taking. The files are
+gzipped except for README/LIESMICH, which I have left uncompressed so
+that you can easily view them. I suggest that you read one of these
+files before retrieving any others.

+From: Nico Poppelier <N.POPPELIER@elsevier.nl>
+Subject: announcement Donald E. Knuth Scholarship
+
+At the 1993 TUG Annual Meeting the Board of Directors of the TeX Users Group
+(TUG) has decided that, starting with the 1994 Scholarship, the Donald E.
+Knuth Scholarship will be open to non-TUG members as well as to TUG members.
+The same rules for the Scholarship competition will apply, and the current
+committee will serve again for the 1994 Scholarship.
+
+Announcement of the next competition
+- ------------------------------------
+
+One Knuth Scholarship will be available for award next year. The competition
+will be open to all TeX users holding support positions that are
+secretarial, clerical or editorial in nature. It is therefore not intended
+for those with a substantial training in technical, scientific or
+mathematical subjects and, in particular, it is not open to anyone holding,
+or studying for, a degree with a major or concentration in these areas.
+
+The award will consist of an expense-paid trip to the 1994 TUG Annual
+Meeting at Santa Barbara, USA, and to the Scholar's choice from the short
+courses offered in conjunction with that meeting, and TUG membership for
+1993, if the Scholar is not a TUG member, or for 1994, if the Scholar is a
+TUG member. A cap of $2000 has been set for the award; however, this does
+not include the meeting or course registration fee, which will be waived.
+
+To enter the competition, applicants should submit to the Scholarship
+Committee, by the deadline specified below, the input file and final TeX
+output of a project that displays originality, knowledge of TeX, and good
+TeXnique.
+
+The project as submitted should be compact in size. If it involves a large
+document or a large number of documents then only a representative part
+should be submitted, together with a description of the whole project. For
+example, from a book just one or two chapters would be appropriate.
+
+The project may make use of a macro package, either a public one such as
+LaTeX or one that has been developed locally; such a macro package should be
+identified clearly. Such features as sophisticated use of math mode, of
+macros that require more than ``filling in the blanks'', or creation and use
+of new macros will be taken as illustrations of the applicant's knowledge.
+
+All macros created by the candidate should be well documented with clear
+descriptions of how they should be used and an indication of how they work
+internally.
+
+All associated style files, macro-package files, etc., should be supplied,
+or a clear indication given of any widely available ones used (including
+version numbers, dates, etc.); clear information should be provided
+concerning the version of TeX used and about any other software (e.g.
+particular printer drivers) required. Any nonstandard fonts should be
+identified and provided in the form of .tfm and .pk files suitable for use
+on a 300dpi laser printer.
+
+While the quality of the typographic design will not be an important
+criterion of the judges, candidates are advised to ensure that their
+printed output adheres to sound typographic standards; the reasons for
+any unusual typographic features should be clearly explained.
+
+All files and documents comprising the project must be submitted on
+paper; the input files should be provided in electronic form as well.
+Suitable electronic media are IBM PC-compatible or Macintosh diskettes,
+or a file sent by electronic mail.
+
+A brochure with additional information is available from the TUG office. To
+obtain a copy, or to request instructions on e-mail submission, write to the
+address at the end of this announcement, or send a message by e-mail to
+TUG@tug.org with the subject ``Knuth Scholarship request''.
+
+Along with the project, each applicant should submit a letter stating
+the following:
+1. affirmation that he/she will be available to attend the 1994 TUG
+ Annual Meeting;
+2. affirmation of willingness to participate on the committee to
+ select the next Scholar.
+
+Each applicant should also submit a `curriculum vitae' summarizing
+relevant personal information, including:
+1. statement of job title, with a brief description of duties and
+ responsibilities;
+2. description of general post-secondary school education, TeX
+ education, identifying courses attended, manuals studied, personal
+ instruction from experienced TeX users, etc.;
+3. description of TeX resources and support used by the
+ candidate in the preparation of the project.
+
+Neither the project nor the `curriculum vitae' should contain the
+applicant's name or identify the applicant. These materials will be reviewed
+by the committee without knowledge of applicants' identities. If, despite
+these precautions, a candidate is identifiable to any judge, then that judge
+will be required to make this fact known to the others and to the TUG board
+members responsible for the conduct of the judging.
+
+The covering letter, `curriculum vitae', and all macro documentation that is
+part of the project input should be in English. (English is not required for
+the output of the project.) However, if English is not the applicant's
+native language, that will not influence the decision of the committee.
+
+Selection of the Scholarship recipient will be based on the project
+submitted.
+
+Schedule
+- --------
+
+The following schedule will apply (all dates are in 1994):
+
+ March 7 Deadline for receipt of submissions
+ March 21--May 16 Judging period
+ May 23 Notification of winner
+ 31 July--4 August 1994 Annual Meeting, Santa Barbara, USA
+
+The 1994 Scholarship Committee consists of
+- - Chris Rowley, Open University, UK (Chair);
+- - David Salomon, California State University, Northridge, USA;
+- - Jenny Smith, Jon Wiley and Sons, Ltd. Chichester, UK.

+Subject: How to make Glossary during thesis writing
+
+Hello TeX-Hackers,
+ I have quite got in a fix, I want to know how to make a glossary
+with the description of the items in it and placed at the end in an appendix.
+ The LaTex book by Lamport only mentions the command \glossary to be used
+similar to \index, and says nothing how to use \description to describe the
+\item to be glossarized.
+ So what I understood was only how to put \glossary next to the word to be
+put into the glossary, but nothing about how to use \description or which
+commands \makeglossary to be used whether in the TeX file or the document file
+ Kindly help and quote an example for the usage of the commands to
+make a glossary with some text.
+
+ Thanking you and wishing you all a Merry X'mas and
+a Happy New TeX year.

+
+
+ LaTeX2e -- Preliminary Release Available
+
+ Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team
+
+ 21 December 1993
+
+The new release of LaTeX is now available for testing.
+
+LaTeX2e is the new standard version of LaTeX -- prepared and supported
+by the LaTeX3 project team. It is upwardly compatible with LaTeX 2.09
+documents, but contains new features.
+
+
+Over the years many extensions of LaTeX have been developed. This is,
+of course, a welcome development, since it shows that the LaTeX system
+is in a healthy state. It has, however, had one unfortunate
+consequence: there are now several incompatible systems, in the sense
+of format (.fmt) files, all claiming to be LaTeX. Therefore, in order
+to process documents coming from various places, a site maintainer
+needs to provide several format files: LaTeX (with and without NFSS),
+SLiTeX, AmSLaTeX, and so on. In addition, when looking at a source
+file it is not always clear for which format the document was written.
+
+LaTeX2e puts an end to this unsatisfactory situation---it will give
+access to all such extensions based on a single format and thus end
+the proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of LaTeX 2.09.
+
+It uses an enhanced version (NFSS2) of the New Font Selection
+Scheme. Files such as amstex.sty (formerly the AmSLaTeX format) or
+slides.sty (formerly the SLiTeX format) will become extension
+packages, all working with this single format.
+
+The introduction of this new version will also make it possible to add
+a small number of often-requested features (such as extended versions
+of \newcommand).
+
+To summarize:
+
+ * Standardisation: a single format incorporating NFSS2, to replace the
+ present multiplicity of incompatible formats (NFSS,
+ lfonts, pslfonts, etc.)
+ * Maintenance: a standardised system supported by a reliable
+ maintenance policy.
+
+
+LaTeX2e adheres, as far as possible, to the following principles:
+
+ * Unmodified version 2.09 document files can be processed with
+ LaTeX2e.
+
+ * All new features of LaTeX2e conform to the conventions of version
+ 2.09, making it as easy as possible for current users to learn to
+ use them.
+
+LaTeX2e is described in a new edition of `LaTeX: A Document Preparation
+System' by Leslie Lamport (to appear during 1994) and `The LaTeX
+Companion' by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, both published by
+Addison-Wesley.
+
+LaTeX2e will be distributed twice a year. This distribution is a
+preliminary test release, and doesn't contain all of the files that
+will be part of the full release. In particular, it does not contain
+the planned extensions in the area of graphics inclusion.
+
+The first full release will be available in Spring 1994.
+
+This is a test release, so please get it and test it on as many
+different systems as possible!
