+Subject: flash card style?
+
+Has anyone made a flash card style for latex or tex? I tried, but can't get
+the order of output to come out right.
+
+Here's what I want to type:
+
+\input flash.sty
+\card{Front 1}{Back 1}
+\card{Front 2}{Back 2}
+\card{Front 3}{Back 3}
+...
+
+And I would like it to come out in columns so that the fronts are on one
+side, the backs on the other side of the page and then the page can be
+sliced up into 3x11 pieces like:
+
+Front 1 Front 12 Front 23 Back 23 Back 12 Back 1
+Front 2 Front 13 Front 24 Back 24 Back 13 Back 2
+...
+
+Front 11 Front 22 Front 33 Back 33 Back 22 Back 11
+
+When there's an exact multiple of 33, it works out ok. But when there are
+fewer, then the columns don't come out in the right places.
+
+I tried modifying the labels style, which I've included below.
+
+Thanks for any help or pointers,

+Subject: Word-for-Windows to LaTeX conversion
+
+I am especially interested in any responses to the request for a WfW2LaTeX
+(Word for Windows to LaTeX) converter. I have a 500-page mathematics book
+in Word (5.0 on the Mac) that I have to convert to LaTeX {report} format.
+At this point the conversion is mostly manual and VERY slow. In theory, I
+can automatically convert Word formulas to plain TeX using MathType for
+Windows: I am told that MT will convert all of the formulas (or equations)
+in a document to plain TeX. This would make the conversion easy enough to
+do --- one document at a time, but I have not yet gotten to the appropriate
+Windows PC to install the necessary programs and have a try.
+
+Another problem that I have is that the manuscript contains pages of
+WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) Mathematica transactions (both Input
+and Output) whose format I wish to retain in LaTeX. What macros will I
+need? (I am one week into TeX, and this is hard for me.) The formatting was
+not hard to do in Word, but the LaTeX commands are beyond me.

+Subject: CTAN calling all LaTeX style writers!! Readme!
+
+As I am sure most people know, a new version of LaTeX (LaTeX2e) is now
+in beta test, and will be released on the world in the spring. It will
+have a support policy of regular 6 monthly updates.
+
+After consultation with the LaTeX2e project team, the CTAN sites have
+decided to restructure the LaTeX area of the archives, to distinguish
+clearly between material known to work with LaTeX2e, and untested or
+imcompatible styles. We would also like to make it clear which
+packages are actively supported and documented, and which are offered
+`asis'. The final structure will therefore look like this:
+ macros
+ latex
+ core % supplied by LaTeX2e team
+ contrib
+ supported
+ other
+ latex209
+ contrib
+
+Until the spring, this will be reversed, so that macros/latex will be
+2.09, and macros/latex2e will be the beta release.
+
+Anything in latex/contrib/supported will be expected to conform to a
+minimal standard of documentation and maintenance; material in
+latex/contrib/other should have been tested with LaTex2e, but the
+authors may not wish to promise support or documentation. It is
+important to note that we are not making qualitative judgements -- we
+will continue to hold whatever authors produce and place in the public
+domain.
+
+A short guide to documentation and maintenance will be available
+shortly. Tel us if you want your name on a list to receive it.
+
+The purpose of this note is to ask style authors to consider looking
+again at their work, and checking that it works with LaTeX2e, maybe
+updating it to use the new features if necessary. Let CTAN know
+(ctan-mgr@shsu.edu), and your packages can be moved to the
+latex2e/contrib/suported tree, so that users will have a good choice
+of material at the start.
+
+If you haven't seen LaTeX2e, you can ftp it from ftp.tex.ac.uk,
+ftp.shsu.edu or ftp.dante.edu, from /tex-archive/macros/latex2e/core.
+You can get full details of the new features in `The LaTeX Companion'

+
+Archive-Name: auto/comp.text.tex/emTeX-3-1415-beta-9-is-now-available
+
+emTeX beta 9 is now available:
+
+ ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/pub/tex/systems/msdos/emtex/betatest/texb9.zip
+
+It will soon be available from the other CTAN sites.
+
+Here's the list of changes, relative to beta 8:
+
+- - TeX 3.1415
+
+- - The standard-sized emTeX (tex.exe) now supports \charsubdef (-ml
+ command line option)
+
+- - The parameter stack size is now settable for the standard-sized
+ emTeX with the /ma# command line option (# in 60 through 1000), the
+ default value is 60
+
+- - Support for long file names under OS/2 has been added
+
+- - The method for file name truncation has been changed. The 5+3.3
+ rule is tried before the 8.3 rule.
+
+- - Files with names that contain two or more dots cannot be read and
+ written under DOS. This should solve the problem of
+ \include{chap1.tex} overwriting chap1.tex with chap1.tex.aux
+
+- - The default directory (\emtex\texinput, for instance) is no longer
+ searched in addition to the directories specified by an environment
+ variable (TEXINPUT, for instance)
+
+- - Directories can now be searched recursively. To search one level of
+ subdirectories, append ! to the path name, to search all levels of
+ subdirectories, append !! to the path name.
+
+- - A new environment variable, EMTEXDIR, can be used to change the path
+ name of the emTeX directory
+
+- - The EMTEXDRV environment variable and the /pv command line option
+ are no longer supported; use EMTEXDIR instead. For instance,
+ replace
+
+ set emtexdrv=c
+
+ with
+
+ set emtexdir=c:\emtex
+
+- - The TCP file (see the /c option) is now sought in \emtex\data (or in
+ the directories set by the TEXDATA environment variable).
+
+- - Loops which don't produce screen output can now be interrupted with
+ Ctrl-Break. This feature can be disabled by the /db command line
+ option (for machines which have problems with hooking interrupt 1C)
+
+- - The speed of screen output has been improved, especially when
+ running under GNU Emacs on OS/2
+
+- - Keyboard input now works under GNU Emacs on OS/2

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] ANNOUNCING: TeXit 1.35
+
+Archive-Name: auto/comp.text.tex/ANNOUNCING-TeXit-1-35
+
+TeXit is my "do-it-all" Perl script for processing TeX (especially LaTeX)
+documents. This release should be available on all CTAN sites "real soon
+now" (I just uploaded it to ftp.shsu.edu this morning...) in the directory
+<ctanroot>/support/texit.
+
+Here's the top of the CHANGES file. If you have any questions or suggestions,
+don't hesitate to ask...
+
+$Id: CHANGES 1.6 1993/12/30 17:27:16 norm Exp $
+
+This file documents the changes to TeXit:
+
+Version 1.35:
+
+- - $DEFAULTLATEXFORMAT added to specify default LaTeX variant (it could be
+ a LaTeX file, a LaTeX+NFSS file, a LaTeX+NFSS2 file, an AMS LaTeX file,
+ or ...
+
+- - Added support for LaTeX2e
+
+- - Added an option to allow the TEXINPUTS path to be specified differently
+ for different formats. Right now, for example, TEXINPUTS2E will be used
+ in place of TEXINPUTS when formatting LaTeX2e documents.
+
+- - Running under X11, TeXit will change the title bar and the icon title
+ to reflect the action being performed. For long jobs, this makes it
+ easy to tell if the iconified TeXit process has finished. If you want
+ this functionality, you must set $SETXTITLE=1; in your .texitrc file.
+
+Version 1.34:
+
+- - Reorganized the initialization code for the format file names, printable
+ names, and parsing routines.
+
+- - Added support for finding the position of the first error in a TeX log.
+ The '%E' in a command (the editing command, for example) is replaced
+ by the name of the file containing the error and `%e' is replaced by the
+ line number of the error.
+
+- - TeXit verifies that TeX will be able to find the format file that you've
+ requested. This will help users with non-standard format file names track
+ down problems quickly.
+
+- - Parsing the LaTeX log has been extended to add dependencies for bibliography
+ style files and bibliography databases.
+
+- - The environment variables that contain the paths for searching for biblio
+ files and format files are stored in $ENV_TEXINPUTS, $ENV_BIBINPUTS, and
+ $ENV_TEXFMTS. These should be changed in your .texitrc file to reflect
+ the correct environment variables.
+
+- - The Local-Variables and other format-file clues no longer override the
+ values established by a % Format:, % Master:, or % Mode: line in the
+ document.
+
+- - Error messages for unrecognized warnings in LaTeX now use the format
+ "filename: line-number: warning" if the line number occurs in the
+ message, otherwise the format "filename: warning" is used.
+
+- - If you define $DEFAULT_PRINTER, it will be the default printer queue if
+ you do not specify one.
+
+- - Made STDOUT unbuffered
+
+- - Print %done message while parsing LOG file. For very large log files,
+ earlier versions of TeXit gave the impression that they were hung...
+
+- - If a raw input filename is given (one with no path component), then
+ TeXit will search for the file in the $ENV_TEXINPUTS path.

+Subject: web2c 6.0 & friends available
+
+I've released version 6.0 of web2c, a port of the basic TeX
+project web programs (TeX, Metafont, GFtoPK, etc.) to Unix,
+and my modified drivers (dvipsk and xdvik).
+
+You can get everything by ftp from:
+
+ (Boston) ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{lib,src,web,web2c,dvipsk,xdvik}.tar.gz
+
+lib is a collection of the basic tfm, tex, mf, and bibtex files
+ (in my opinion).
+src has additional documentation, sources for some of the things
+ in lib, and a few extra programs I find especially valuable.
+
+Soon they will be available from the CTAN sites (please try them first):
+
+ (Texas) ftp.shsu.edu
+ (England) ftp.tex.ac.uk
+ (Germany) ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
+
+See the ftp retrieval instructions below for precise details.
+
+A summary of the changes is below. Send bug reports to me (I'm sure
+there will be plenty). If you want support, or if you cannot ftp, I
+suggest contacting unixtex@u.washington.edu.
+
+One change worth emphasizing: the default paths have completely changed.
+See the file kpathsea/HIER for a summary of this. The Makefile(s) and
+kpathsea/paths.h.in do the actual definitions.
+
+By the way, the new version number is 6.0 because 5.8515 was just too
+many decimal points (also running out of characters on my system V
+filesystems).
+
+The next major feature I intend to implement is a runtime configuration
+file (read by all three programs) to define paths.
+
+kb@cs.umb.edu
+Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- write lpf@uunet.uu.net.
+
+web2c:
+Version 6.0 (24 January 1994)
+* Default paths changed.
+* Update for TeX 3.1415, etc.
+* Change to use the kpathsea library, a la dvipsk and xdvik.
+
+* TeX's \openin command invokes MakeTeXTeX just like \input.
+
+* TeX & Metafont:
+ - 16-byte values can be dumped, thus allowing native `long' on the DEC Alpha.
+ - But 32-bit integers are used if sharable format files are desired,
+ even on 64-bit machines.
+ - Interrupts are accepted when waiting for input.
+
+* Online output support in Metafont for Regis terminals and the NeXT.
+* gftopk can handle characters with up to 100,000 rows.
+* vftovp's -charcode-format=ascii works properly.
+* patgen doesn't give bizarre numeric output where it should be text.
+
+* configuration:
+ - -lX11 is used for OpenWindows.

+
+ FTP INSTRUCTIONS
+
+Most people who get in touch with the Unix TeX distribution at the Univ.
+of Washington are aiming to install plain TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX, plain
+Metafont, a previewer that will work under the X windowing system, and a
+PostScript device driver. While the ftp sites listed below have just
+about everything useful for users of TeX on a variety of operating
+systems, our retrieval instructions -- intended solely for users with
+machines running Unix -- are limited to the programs mentioned above.
+
+The three ftp sites mentioned below are part of the Comprehensive TeX
+Archive Network (CTAN).
+
+ CTAN is the result of cooperative work among members of TUG,
+ DANTE [German-speaking TeX Users Group], and UKTUG [U.K. TeX
+ Users Group], under the leadership of George Greenwade, Chair
+ for TUG's Technical Working Group on TeX Archive Guidelines.
+
+ Special thanks to George Greenwade for establishing the CTAN site
+ at Sam Houston State University (US), to Rainer Schoepf for the
+ CTAN site at the University of Stuttgart (FRG), and to Sebastian Rahtz
+ for the CTAN site at Aston University (UK). These archives mirror
+ each other meticulously.
+
+Please use the host nearest you:

+ ftp.tex.ac.uk 134.151.44.19 tex-archive
+ ftp.uni-stuttgart.de 128.69.1.12 tex-archive
+
+Users of ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.uni-stuttgart.de will be able to retrieve
+the same tex-archive files, but site-specific files (i.e., the two
+mentioned in the next paragraph) may be named differently.
+
+Upon logging on (to ftp.shsu.edu), retrieve and read
+
+ README.archive-features and
+ README.site-commands
+
+to learn how to use the archive efficiently.
+
+We assume that you will have read these documents and will be able to
+use the information in them to make retrieval more convenient for yourself.
+
+ For example, by reading these files, you will learn that you will be
+ able to retrieve foo.tar.gz even if the file does not exist, because
+ the ftpd allows archiving and compressing files on the fly.
+
+In our instructions, the mode of compression used during retrieval is
+gzip. All files ending in .gz are gzipped.
+
+We encourage you to retrieve and install GNU's gunzip utility, part of
+the gzip package. Set "binary" by typing "bi" at your ftp prompt, and
+retrieve the file
+
+ ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip/gzip-<version>.tar
+
+It does a better job of compression than standard Unix compress; and it
+is (as far as is known) patent-free. It is illegal to use Unix compress
+for software on the net, because it infringes on a software patent.
+
+ To inform yourself about the new software monopolies
+ in the U.S., send mail to the

+
+
+For a basic set of input files and fonts:--------------------------------------
+- --
+
+ ftp> cd tex-archive/systems/unix/web2c
+ ftp> bi [for binary retrieval]
+ ftp> get lib.tar.gz
+
+ This file contains a small collection of fonts (TFM files only),
+ (La)TeX macros, MF macros, and BibTeX files, enough to get
+ started. The AMS fonts and macros are included.
+
+ It unpacks into a directory named `texmf', which you will want in
+ your equivalent of /usr/local/lib -- whatever you defined as your
+ $(datadir) in the Makefiles.
+
+ The organization of the archive was debated at great length. We hope
+ it will be useful. If you don't like our organization, you should
+ move the files around as you see fit, not forgetting to redefine the
+ search paths and installation directories. The Makefiles,
+ kpathsea/HIER, kpathsea/paths.h.in, and web2c/README (``Directory
+ hierarchies'') have more tidbits of information.
+
+ We advise unpacking this and deciding on your directory structure
+ *before* doing the compilations.
+
+
+For web2c:
+- ---------
+
+ Special thanks here to Karl Berry, Unix System Coordinator for TUG.
+ He improves/develops/maintains web2c, modes.mf, dvipsk, and xdvik
+ (and other things not mentioned in this file). He also maintains
+ pub/tex on ftp.cs.umb.edu, which is the originating location for all
+ the files above and below.
+
+ [still in tex-archive/systems/unix/web2c]
+
+ ftp> get web.tar.gz [Knuth's WEB sources for TeX, MF, & family:
+ unpacks into ./web2c-<version>]
+
+ ftp> get web2c.tar.gz [WEB-to-C source:
+ unpacks into ./web2c-<version>]
+
+ It is important to retrieve and unpack both web.tar.gz and web2c.tar.gz.
+ They unbundle into a single directory called ./web2c-<version>.
+
+ The web2c software converts the WEB source files (in which TeX,
+ Metafont, & family are written) to C source. The input and font
+ files are needed to dump the format and base files required to run
+ plain TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont.
+
+
+
+For an X window system previewer (xdvik)
+- -------------------------------
+ and PostScript device driver (dvipsk):
+ -------------------------------------
+
+ ftp> cd ../../dviware/xdvik
+ ftp> get xdvik.tar.gz
+ [unpacks into ./xdvik-<version>]
+
+ ftp> cd ../dvipsk
+ ftp> get dvipsk.tar.gz
+ [unpacks into dvipsk-<version>]
+
+ ftp> cd ../../fonts/cm/pk
+ ftp> get pk300.zip
+ [For write-black 300dpi devices.
+
+ The zip/unzip package is in
+ ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip.
+
+ These pk fonts are not strictly necessary;
+ dvips and xdvi can use a script `MakeTeXPK' that will
+ generate missing bitmapped fonts.]
+
+ ftp> get pk300w.zip
+ [pk300w (write-white) fonts are better with xdvi]
+
+ ftp> quit [end ftp session]
+
+
+We believe this covers the retrieval of the essential files.
+
+Each of the three packages -- web2c, xdvik, dvipsk, -- contains its own
+installation instructions. The first thing to compile is web2c (that is
+to say, both web.tar.gz and web2c.tar.gz, unpacked); begin by reading
+./web2c-<version>/web2c/README.
+
+If this is your first TeX installation, you may not find the process
+as easy as installing directly from our distribution tape, but ease is
+a matter of degree. All installation processes require careful attention
+to detail, and knowledge of your system. Festina Lente (Make Haste Slowly),

+Subject: Re: How to make Glossary during thesis writing
+
+In response to Ferose Lambay's question about glossary preparation, I can
+offer a simple wrapper that turns BibTeX into the glossary generation tool
+"GlossTex" (apologies if anyone has already used this name).
+
+For the user, this works in much the same way as BibTeX, reading the auxiliary
+file (.aux) and using database files (.gly) plus a style file (.gst) to
+produce a glossary (.gls) that can be incorporated in subsequent LaTeX runs.
+User commands for the LaTeX source are provided in a style file (.sty) in the
+normal manner.
+
+GlossTeX is implemented as a shell script which uses all the usual UNIX tricks
+to manipulate the input and output of standard (0.99c) BibTeX. It should run
+on any sensible UNIX machine although it was developed on System V Release 4.
+The LaTeX style file is based on 2.09 of 7 Dec 1989 and may need some
+tinkering for more recent versions - I haven't checked.
+
+If this looks useful then please mail me direct for the script plus supporting
+files, examples and manual page.

+I don't know NextStep very well, but as far as I know there is a somewhat
+"normal" UNIX system hidden behind the graphical user interface. I think
+if your MetaFont package and how it is installed is like all the other
+UNIX-based systems you should be able to "go down" to the UNIX level and
+invoke your MetaFont using shell commands. What are the "README" or "INSTALL"
+files saying which came along with the package ? (I have written some C-Shell
+script to automate the boring font building process on my UNIX system...)
+
+May be there is a GUI shell for invoking TeX and MetaFont on your system as
+part of the TeX/MetaFont package and you just haven't noticed that. (On my
+Atari at home I have a nice graphical shell which was part of the package I
+use.)
+
+May be the DVI driver you have to get on-screen previews has the ability to
+build the missing font files used in your document but not on available (you
+must have at least the TFM files for this to work).
+
+May be you will find on TeX/MetaFont providing internet sites GUI shells and
+DVI driver capable of automated font building...

+From: Zdenek Wagner <WAGNER@CSEARN.EARN>
+Subject: special's
+
+Hello TeX friends,
+I have just observed strange behaviour. I was trying to fine tune the
+positioning of my EPSF pictures. They needed a special postscript prolog, so I
+used:
+
+\special{header=gnudict.pro}
+
+in the preamble of the LaTeX2e document (it was LaTeX2e as of Dec 1993). In
+order not to spend much time on texing I put the each picture definition into
+its own file and fine tuned one picture at a time. The picture started with
+
+\begin{figure}[p]
+
+and the document looked like:
+
+\documentclass[12pt]{article}
+\usepackage{epsf}
+\special{header=gnudict.pro}
+\begin{document}
+\input{myfig}
+\end{document}
+... the rest of the document commented out by the previous line
+
+The result was that the specials for EPSF inclusion worked but
+\special{header=gnudict.pro} silently disappeared. Dvitype revealed that it
+did not get into the dvi file.
+
+When I processed the whole text, all \special's were put into the dvi file as
+expected.
+
+I have some explanation for that mystery. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
+
+When TeX encounters a \special, it makes a `whatsit' and puts it into MVL (The
+TeXbook, pp. 228--229). Then LaTeX2e reads in the myfig.tex file which
+contains only the definition of a figure. \end{document} then somehow invokes
+the output routine. Now LaTeX2e finds a non-processed float which takes the
+whole page. It sends the float to the dvi file but the `whatsit' remains in
+the MVL. Then it should process the last unfinished page but there is no `ink'
+on it, nothing to print, there is only the `whatsit'. Thence TeX or LaTeX2e
+forgets about it and the `whatsit' is not written to the dvi file.
+
+I must admit that it took me a long time reading the documentation of DVIPS
+and looking at \special's in epsf.sty and everything looked like unexplainable
+mystery until I found the following sentence on p. 228 of The TeXbook:
+
+``Therefore it (=whatsit) is implicitely associated with a particular position
+on the page, namely the reference point that would have been present if a box
+of height, depth, and width zero hade appeared in place of the whatsit.''
+
+Can someone explain whether this is caused by LaTeX2e or by TeX itself and
+whether it is a bug or a feature?
+
+Oh! As I was writing this mail, it got into my mind to try the simple file
+
+\special{header=gnudict.pro}
+\bye
+
+and run it through plain TeX. The dvi file contained the empty page but the
+\special was there too!
+
+Regards

+>Subject: MF fonts and Windows
+
+The facts:
+
+1. I am a writer;
+2. I _really_ like TeX and MF, and in fact do all my serious writing on a PC
+using TeX. When necessary, I design my own fonts in MF. I especially like
+the cmtt fonts which, with good TeX macros, produce copy almost identical to
+typewritten without my having to worry about the formatting details. This
+makes life easy for both me and the for the editors who have to read my stuff.
+
+3. On the other hand, for short notes and letters, it's hard to beat a nice
+Windows Word Processor.
+
+So this leads me directly to want MF fonts usable in Windows (both on the
+screen and on 300 dpi laser output).
+
+I don't care if they are scalable (i.e. I'd be quite happy to choose from
+a small fixed set of sizes produced by some sort of pk2fon program); if they
+are scalable, I don't care if they are TT or PS as I run the current release
+of ATM. (In principal, since both PS and MF use bezier curves, I suppose
+it ought to be possible to take MF source and produce PS fonts, although I
+wouldn't like the job of making such a program actually work.) I don't care
+about the number of intervening stages and programs necessary to get from
+PK to PS/TT/FON/whatever. What I would like to know is HOW to get there
+from here. It's got to be possible, and I'm almost certain that the necessary
+programs have to be available somewhere; it's just that I'haven't come across
+them.
+
+
+I will post a summary of any helpful replies I receive.
+Thanks.

+ Ps2pk 1.4 release
+ -----------------
+ (Jan. 1994)
+
+Some time ago Norman Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu> sent me some patches so
+that ps2pk can handle larger and more complicated fonts. Most of these
+patches had to do with memory limitations in version 1.3. These
+limitations and some other bugs are now removed. Here is a short
+summary:
+ 1) Memory allocation made dynamically
+ 1.1 in computing runlengths (needed to build PK fonts)
+ 1.2 in scanning type1 fonts (to overcome `fixed' virtual memory)
+ 2) Problem with handling Lucida font (negative widths) solved
+ 3) Improved error handling in scanning AFM files
+ 4) Provided hooks to handle non 32-bit platforms
+ 5) Some cleanups
+ 6) Improved Makefiles.

+
+Version 1.5 of Excalibur is now available from sol.cs.bucknell.edu in
+pub/mac. I've also sent it to CTAN. Here's a copy of the README file
+that comes with it.
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is release 1.5 of Excalibur. 1/14/94
+
+Excalibur is a Macintosh spelling checker for LaTeX documents. You can
+optionally turn off LaTeX parsing, so Excalibur is a good plain text
+spelling checker too.
+
+Features include:
+
+- - Excalibur will offer suggestions for how to correct a word.
+
+- - Excalibur can spell check the clipboard. This makes it a good
+spelling checker for any text based application such as Alpha, BBEdit,
+or Eudora.
+
+- - You can teach it about new LaTeX commands and environments that
+you define.
+
+- - Optionally spell checks text in the typewriter (\tt) font.
+
+- - You can create your own dictionaries.
+
+- - Works with Textures and OzTeX documents. It should work on any TEXT file.
+
+- - You will need System 6.0.4 or higher to run Excalibur.
+
+- - If you are running System 7 or greater, there is balloon help.
+
+- - Excalibur is free.
+
+- - British, Dutch, French, Germain, and Italian dictionaries are also
+available.
+
+Version 1.5 changes:
+
+- - Added options that let the user choose how Excalibur should behave
+when you launch it. You may choose to present an "open file" dialog,
+open the clipboard if it has text, or do nothing. When the clipboard
+option is checked, Excalibur will also open the clipboard when it
+receives a resume event (if it contains text).
+
+- - Adjusted a few of the dialogs so that they all appear and behave
+consistently. Hitting Return or Enter is the same as clicking the
+default button. Command period is the same as cancel.
+
+- - Made some changes so that Excalibur's interactions with Alpha are
+smoother.
+
+- - Fixed the Edit Commands dialog so that it is a bit more intuitive.
+
+- - Fixed the Edit Environments dialog so that you no longer enter the
+number of arguments. Excalibur never used these values anyway.
+
+- - You can now drag Excalibur's windows to another monitor.
+
+- - Fixed a few minor bugs.

+Subject: web2c 6.1 et al. available
+
+I've released version 6.1 of web2c, a port of the basic TeX
+project web programs (TeX, Metafont, GFtoPK, etc.) to Unix,
+and my modified drivers (dvipsk and xdvik).
+
+You can get everything by ftp from:
+
+ (Boston) ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{lib,web,web2c,dvipsk,xdvik}.tar.gz
+
+Soon they will be available from the CTAN sites (please try them first):
+
+ (Texas) ftp.shsu.edu
+ (England) ftp.tex.ac.uk
+ (Germany) ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
+
+See the ftp retrieval instructions below for precise details.
+
+A summary of the changes is below. Send bug reports to me (I'm sure
+there will be plenty). If you want support, or if you cannot ftp, I
+suggest contacting unixtex@u.washington.edu.
+
+There are no changes to the web files (that will be version 7.0);
+web-6.1.tar.gz is only different in the name of its top-level directory.
+
+kb@cs.umb.edu
+Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- write lpf@uunet.uu.net.
+
+
+lib is a collection of the basic tfm, tex, mf, and bibtex files
+ (in my opinion). Only change from 6.0 is to add the raw tfm's for Utopia.
+
+web2c:
+* foo.bar found before foo.tex (found before foo).
+* configure links sun.c to sun-sunview.c if SUNWIN is defined.
+* -DLONG_64_BITS is supplied automatically (if appropriate).
+* Various changes for configure --srcdir.
+* Sample MakeTeX* scripts included.
+
+dvipsk:
+* Don't complain if scaled fonts are close enough.
+* Document -pp.
+
+There are no particular xdvik changes; just keeping up with the kpathsea
+fixes.

+=========================================================================
+
+
+ FTP INSTRUCTIONS
+
+Most people who get in touch with the Unix TeX distribution at the Univ.
+of Washington are aiming to install plain TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX, plain
+Metafont, a previewer that will work under the X windowing system, and a
+PostScript device driver. While the ftp sites listed below have just
+about everything useful for users of TeX on a variety of operating
+systems, our retrieval instructions -- intended solely for users with
+machines running Unix -- are limited to the programs mentioned above.
+
+The three ftp sites mentioned below are part of the Comprehensive TeX
+Archive Network (CTAN).
+
+ CTAN is the result of cooperative work among members of TUG,
+ DANTE [German-speaking TeX Users Group], and UKTUG [U.K. TeX
+ Users Group], under the leadership of George Greenwade, Chair
+ for TUG's Technical Working Group on TeX Archive Guidelines.
+
+ Special thanks to George Greenwade for establishing the CTAN site
+ at Sam Houston State University (US); to Rainer Schoepf, Barbara Burr,
+ and members of DANTE for the CTAN site at the University of Stuttgart
+ (FRG); and to Sebastian Rahtz for the CTAN site at Aston University (UK).
+ These archives mirror each other meticulously.
+
+Please use the host nearest you:
+
+ Host Internet address TeX root dir
+ ---- ---------------- ------------
+ ftp.shsu.edu 192.92.115.10 tex-archive
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk 134.151.44.19 tex-archive
+ ftp.dante.de 128.69.1.12 tex-archive
+
+Users of ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.dante.de will be able to retrieve
+the same tex-archive files, but site-specific files (i.e., the two
+mentioned in the next paragraph) may be named differently.
+
+Upon logging on (to ftp.shsu.edu), retrieve and read
+
+ README.archive-features and
+ README.site-commands
+
+to learn how to use the archive efficiently.
+
+We assume that you will have read these documents and will be able to
+use the information in them to make retrieval more convenient for yourself.
+
+ For example, by reading these files, you will learn that you will be
+ able to retrieve foo.tar.gz even if the file does not exist, because
+ the ftpd allows archiving and compressing files on the fly.
+
+In our instructions, the mode of compression used during retrieval is
+gzip. All files ending in .gz are gzipped.
+
+We encourage you to retrieve and install GNU's gunzip utility, part of
+the gzip package. Set "binary" by typing "bi" at your ftp prompt, and
+retrieve the file
+
+ ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip/gzip-<version>.tar
+
+It does a better job of compression than standard Unix compress; and it
+is (as far as is known) patent-free. It is illegal to use Unix compress
+for software on the net, because it infringes on a software patent.
+
+ To inform yourself about the new software monopolies
+ in the U.S., send mail to the
+ League for Programming Freedom:
+ lpf@uunet.uu.net
+
+
+For a basic set of input files and fonts:
+- ----------------------------------------
+
+ ftp> cd tex-archive/systems/web2c
+ ftp> bi [for binary retrieval]
+ ftp> get lib.tar.gz
+
+ This file contains a small collection of fonts (TFM files only),
+ (La)TeX macros, MF macros, and BibTeX files, enough to get
+ started. The AMS fonts and macros are included.
+
+ It unpacks into a directory named `texmf', which you will want in
+ your equivalent of /usr/local/lib -- whatever you defined as your
+ $(datadir) in the Makefiles.
+
+ The organization of the archive was debated at great length. We hope
+ it will be useful. If you don't like our organization, you should
+ move the files around as you see fit, not forgetting to redefine the
+ search paths and installation directories. The Makefiles,
+ kpathsea/HIER, kpathsea/paths.h.in, and web2c/README (``Directory
+ hierarchies'') have more tidbits of information.
+
+ We advise unpacking this and deciding on your directory structure
+ *before* doing the compilations.
+
+
+For web2c:
+- ---------
+
+ Special thanks here to Karl Berry, Unix System Coordinator for TUG.
+ He improves/develops/maintains web2c, modes.mf, dvipsk, and xdvik
+ (and other things not mentioned in this file). He also maintains
+ pub/tex on ftp.cs.umb.edu, which is the originating location for all
+ the files above and below.
+
+ [still in tex-archive/systems/web2c]
+
+ ftp> get web.tar.gz [Knuth's WEB sources for TeX, MF, & family:
+ unpacks into ./web2c-<version>]
+
+ ftp> get web2c.tar.gz [WEB-to-C source:
+ unpacks into ./web2c-<version>]
+
+ It is important to retrieve and unpack both web.tar.gz and web2c.tar.gz.
+ They unbundle into a single directory called ./web2c-<version>.
+
+ The web2c software converts the WEB source files (in which TeX,
+ Metafont, & family are written) to C source. The input and font
+ files are needed to dump the format and base files required to run
+ plain TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont.
+
+
+
+For an X window system previewer (xdvik)
+- -------------------------------
+ and PostScript device driver (dvipsk):
+ -------------------------------------
+
+ ftp> cd ../../dviware/xdvik
+ ftp> get xdvik.tar.gz
+ [unpacks into ./xdvik-<version>]
+
+ ftp> cd ../dvipsk
+ ftp> get dvipsk.tar.gz
+ [unpacks into dvipsk-<version>]
+
+ ftp> cd ../../fonts/cm/pk
+ ftp> get pk300.zip
+ [Basic set of bitmapped fonts generated by Metafont
+ using the CanonCX mode_def for write-black 300dpi devices.
+
+ If using the web2c default search paths,
+ place this set of Computer Modern bitmapped fonts
+ in $(fontdir)/public/cm/pk/cx.
+
+ These pk fonts are not strictly necessary;
+ dvips and xdvi can be used with a script called
+ `MakeTeXPK' to generate needed bitmapped fonts.
+ Use $(fontdir)/tmp/pk/cx as the temporary destination
+ directory for newly-generated 300dpi write-black fonts.
+
+ The zip/unzip package is in
+ ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip.]
+
+ ftp> get pk300w.zip
+ [Bitmapped fonts generated using the
+ RicohFourZeroEightZero mode_def;
+ pk300w (write-white) fonts are better with xdvi
+ at lower magnifications.
+
+ If using the web2c default search paths,
+ place these in $(fontdir)/public/cm/pk/ricoh.
+
+ If using MakeTeXPK to generate 300dpi write-white fonts,
+ use $(fontdir)/tmp/pk/ricoh as the temporary destination
+ directory for newly-generated 300dpi write-white fonts.]
+
+ ftp> quit [end ftp session]
+
+We believe this covers the retrieval of the essential files.
+
+Each of the three packages -- web2c, xdvik, dvipsk -- contains its own
+installation instructions. If you have never set up these programs before,
+compile web2c first (that is to say, the material in both web.tar.gz and
+web2c.tar.gz, unpacked); begin by reading ./web2c-<version>/web2c/README
+and ./web2c-<version>/web2c/INSTALL. Remember to set up your texmf
+directory hierarchy before embarking on your compilation (see "For a
+basic set of input files and fonts" above).
+
+All installation processes require careful attention to detail, and knowledge
+of your system. "Make haste slowly", and you improve your chances of success.
+
+
+How to make web2c, dvipsk, and xdvik in a single make:
+- -----------------------------------------------------
+[Thanks to Martyn Johnson, Pierre MacKay, Jon Peatfield, and Andreas Schott
+ for their notes.]
+
+These three programs are not packaged together, because the latter two
+are updated fairly frequently. But (thanks to Karl's work), the programs
+can be made in a single make:
+
+ Extract the three archives so that the following directories
+ are parallel to each other:
+
+ ./dvipsk-<version>
+ ./web2c-<version>
+ ./xdvik-<version>
+
+ Next:
+
+ mv dvipsk-<version>/dvipsk web2c-<version>
+
+ mv xdvik-<version>/xdvik web2c-<version>
+
+ ./web2c-<version> should now contain four subdirectories:
+ dvipsk, kpathsea, web2c, and xdvik.
+
+The files remaining in ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version>
+are identical in all three archives. If you wish, you can now
+remove ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version>. If you wish to
+retain the names and versions of the programs, you can create the
+following symbolic links:
+
+ ln -s web2c-<version> dvipsk-<version>
+
+ ln -s web2c-<version> xdvik-<version>
+
+Be sure to read web2c-<version>/README, web2c-<version>/web2c/INSTALL,
+web2c-<version>/dvipsk/INSTALL, and web2c-<version>/xdvik/INSTALL.
+
+Make sure that you have completed the instructions in the section above
+called "For a basic set of input files and fonts".
+
+You are now ready to begin configuring and building the programs.
+
+
+
+Network users interested in TeX software will find much that is useful in
+the following FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) documents on rtfm.mit.edu
+(18.70.0.209) in ~pub/usenet/comp.text.tex:
+
+ T,_L,_e.:_F_A_Q_w_A_[M]
+ (i.e., TeX, LaTeX, etc.: FAQ with Answers [Monthly])
+
+There is also a supplement to the FAQ containing FTP locations; it's in
+the same place on rtfm.mit.edu.
+
+A beautifully done index of macros for TeX and LaTeX is available on
+theory.lcs.mit.edu (18.52.0.92) in ~/pub/tex/TeX-index.
+
+These files are all included in ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/src.tar.gz.

+
+If you are concerned about connect-time, search or retrieval problems,
+or require help in building and installing the basic TeX/LaTeX and
+Metafont programs on your machines, you may wish to consider ordering
+a distribution tape from us (address below).
+
+A distribution fee in the area of $210 for domestic U.S. sites covers
+the expenses of putting together and maintaining the tape distribution,
+equipment, and of providing information and installation-support

+distribution and requires it to be self-sustaining.
+
+E-mail queries concerning the distribution tape should be sent to:

+Keywords: figures, graphs, directed graphs, texdraw
+
+ Announcing Beta Release of Graph-TeX
+ ------------------------------------
+
+Graph-TeX is a Perl script and library for typesetting directed and
+undirected graphs. It takes as input a .gt file which resembles an array
+environment (it even more closely resembles the commutative diagram
+environment of XY-pic). Then it produces TeXdraw commands for inclusion
+into an .tex file.
+
+Complicated graphs can be quickly typeset producing high quality results.
+Features include:
+
+ - TeX labels well placed with respect to the labeled object.
+ - Spade-like arrowheads which reduce the effect of postscript
+ inconsistencies (edge effects).
+ - Bezier-curved edges and loops on which arrows and labels follow the
+ tangent.
+ - Flexibility in redefining default attributes.
+
+Graph-TeX was designed to support graphs possessing symmetries such as
+the Peterson graph or the Cayley graph of D_3. In these, the vertex
+positions are not so easily described within an array environment. See
+the manual for more details.
+
+ --------------
+
+To get the manual and source, ftp anonymously to ima.umn.edu, cd to
+/pub/graphtex, and get graphtex1.0beta.tar.Z (in binary mode). While I
+am seeking beta testers to find bugs, I am also interested in people's
+opinions about the aesthetic quality of the results.

+
+
+ LaTeX2e -- Second Test Release Available
+
+ Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team
+
+ 14 February 1994
+
+
+The second test release of LaTeX is now available. Notes about this
+release are at the end of this announcement. The first release
+revealed a few serious bugs and several other areas which need
+attention. Many people reported that documents and style files had
+been processed by the new system without serious problems; this
+includes one very important test -- the original text of `The LaTeX
+Manual'! We can also report that this release has been tested with
+all the files in the LaTeX 2.09 test suite and produces only
+predictable differences in the output.
+
+
+First, here is the original announcement
+- ----------------------------------------
+
+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!
+

+or package file. To get the latest information on this subject or to
+report problems, please send a message to the following address:
+
+ bugs@minnie.ZDV.Uni-Mainz.de
+
+Please ensure that it starts with the following line *exactly*:

+>Category: latex-class-writing
+
+If you want a prompt and useful reply, please make your message as
+short and precise as possible.
+
+
+Notes on the second test release
+- --------------------------------
+
+- -- Only the straightforward bugs and the serious bugs found in the
+ first release have been fixed; other problems are still being
+ worked on. Some of the reports uncovered features of the original
+ LaTeX which some consider to be bugs; whether these should be
+ `fixed' is not always clear.
+
+- -- There are thus several areas, including things arising from bug
+ reports, on which we are still working.
+
+- -- The details of the distribution, unpacking etc are still under
+ development.
+
+- -- The details of the typography in the standard classes is not
+ finalised.
+
+- -- The precise functionality of the compatibility mode is not fixed.
+
+- -- Still no graphics package!
+
+Warning
+- -------
+If you have installed the first release then you must remove it
+completely and start again. This is because there are many small
+differences, including new file names, and because the installation
+procedure now behaves differently.

+Subject: dviljk 1.0, dvipsk 5.528a, and xdvik 1.7 available
+
+I've released version 1.0 of dviljk, a modified version of
+ Gustaf Neumann's dvi2xx driver (version 0.51a9) for HP LaserJet printers,
+and also new versions of dvipsk
+ (my modified version of Tom Rokicki's dvips)
+and xdvik
+ (ditto ditto Paul Vojta's xdvi).
+
+You can get them by ftp:
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
+Soon they should be on the ctan hosts as well, in tex-archive/dvi.
+
+Aside from kpathsea-ification and Autoconf-ization, dviljk also supports
+the LaserJet 4 builtin fonts (thanks to Norm Walsh, who built the actual
+TeX TFM's from HP TFM's). (The alpha9 version of the original dvi2xx
+also does so, and Eberhard Mattes' dvi-to-lj driver will probably do so
+also in the near future, so you aren't stuck with my idiosyncratic
+software just to use the builtin fonts.)
+
+The external ls-R database below isn't optimal yet -- the list of font
+directories still winds up being built, because of searches for
+nonexistent vf files. I'll address this next time out.
+
+
+Here's the NEWS for the other releases:
+
+kpathsea 1.7
+* Searches can use an externally-built ls-R ``database'', for speed.
+* `VPATH = .' lines removed from generated Makefile, for broken Sun make.
+* A path foo//tfm finds foo/tfm as well as foo/*/tfm.
+
+xdvik 1.7 (1 March 1994)
+* Use DEFAULT_FIG_PATH, instead of DEFAULT_TEX_PATH (they are the same
+ by default, anyway).
+* EPS displays take the magnification into account (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
+* EPS displays support the angle option from psfig 1.10 (thanks to Uwe Bon).
+* The Metafont mode for MakeTeXPK can be set via the command line, an X
+ resource, an environment variable, or at compile-time.
+* Support for the SelFile widget (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
+* XDVIFONTS only overrides font-related paths, not all paths.
+
+dvipsk 5.528a
+* DVIPSFONTS only overrides font-related paths.
+* By default, append mode to MakeTeXPK installation directory.
+* Update for dvips 5.528.

+
+- - the name is Eddi4TeX (say: Eddi-For-TeX) says a lot: an editor for working
+ with TeX with an integrated development environment
+- - windows, several texts at a time
+- - float-text: the text is wrapped automatically and the resulting paragraph
+ structure is saved in a TeX-fitting format, when loading a text, this
+ information still exists, the fraying out of texts belongs to history
+* within the text commands, comments, braces and environment-borders are
+ stained to improve the readability of the text enormously
+* Macros: macro-recorder, commandsequences, textblocks, interactivity,
+ decision, jumps
+* using OS/2 macros can pause until erxternal programs are terminated,
+ the positioning of PM-Windows can be controlled, in the OS/2-version the
+ 640K-limit has fallen
+* environmentvariable E4TOPT
+* switching the menus and messages to english, an english version of the
+ helpfiles will follow if YOU show your interest in the program
+- - search, search&replace, go to line, sorting, color-adjustment, backupfiles
+ temporaryfiles, screenprotector, ...
+- - blockoperations for areas of text and columns of tables
+- - online-helpsystem on the program (german only)
+- - online-helpsystem including syntaxinformation on LaTeX (german only)
+- - creating own helpfiles can be done comfortably using the included program
+- - registrating any programs you want
+- - analyse of the LOG-file, showing the errormessages, jumping to
+ errorpositions, works also in files via \input, several errors
+- - related braces are blinking
+- - analysing braces without parnters
+- - 30-pages manual as DVI-file (german only)
+* shareware-fullversion
+
+Changes on the installation description:
+
+- - please check [Options/Register/Help/Change/LaTeX & TeX] when using DEMO.RES

+ different names (lcirclew10)
+
+Problems:
+
+- - if you should have any problems installing or using the program please do
+ NOT write public mails in any newsgroups, but try to contact me via e-mail

+============================================================================
+
+Is North America too far / too expensive / too alien a culture?
+Then come to EuroTeX '94, _the_ TeX conference of the year.
+EuroTeX will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off
+the coast of Gdansk in Poland. The conference will run from Monday
+September 26th to Friday September 30th, and the _maximum_ cost
+(based on two persons sharing) will not exceed $260-00 / sterling
+175-00 / DM 450-00. Those arriving early on Monday will be able
+to take part in a guided tour of the old town of Gdansk, whilst
+Tuesday to Thursday will be jam-packed with talks and tutorials
+on TeX and related topics.
+
+All delegates will be accommodated in a single building, and for
+the whole week will be cut off from civilisation: no
+distractions, no need to leave the island: everything will be
+provided. For those unable to sustain the pace, quiet meditative
+walks along the shore searching for amber will provide the ideal
+opportunity for therapeutic meditation.
+
+Papers are solicited _now_, and early registration for the
+conference is advised: with its Central European location and
+idyllic setting, the conference is expected to attract many
+delegates. If you are even _thinking_ of coming, then you are
+urged to return the form below: we will then add you to the
+mailing list and keep you posted about any changes in the
+schedule. Please note the following deadlines:
+
+Abstracts for papers: no later than 1 May 1994;
+Final papers: 15th August 1994;
+
+Provisional registration: 1 June 1994 (no charge for cancellation);
+Confirmed registration: 1 September 199 (cancellation charged at 50%);
+Late registration: 15th September 1994 (no cancellation possible);
+
+Bursaries: as with the combined EuroTeX/TUG meeting at Aston last year,
+it is hoped to be able to offer financial assistance to delegates who
+would otherwise be unable to attend; of course, we cannot be sure at
+this stage that sponsors will be as generous as they were last year,
+but intending delegates who will need assistance in order to be able to
+attend should indicate in the space provided the _minimum_ bursary
+which would allow them to be able to attend, and should give clear
+reasons why they are applying. All applications will be treated in the
+strictest confidence. Delegates who are in no need of a bursary and
+who are able to assist others less fortunate are urged to pledge a
+donation in the space provided.
+
+Tutorials and Courses: It is intended to offer both tutorials (which
+will take place during the week of the conference proper), and courses
+(which will take place during the week following the conference);
+proposed topics include book design and LaTeX-2e, but no firm decisions
+have yet been taken on topics, durations or costs. Further details
+concerning this area will be circulated as soon as they are known, and
+space has been provided on the provisional registration form (below) in
+which both to indicate an interest in tutorials/courses and to suggest
+possible topics.

+Subject: Indian character design using METAFONT?
+
+
+Hello,
+
+I am very new to this newsgroup and hence dont know if this is the right
+group for posting my question.
+
+
+I am interested in designing Metafont definitins for the character set
+of an Indian language. In this context, are there any software tools
+that can be used for working with the graphics involved in defining
+the shapes of the characters ?
+
+
+There is a certain software called 'fontogrpaher' which allows one to

+Subject: Previewing on graphics screen
+
+We are producing some A5 catalogues in 32-page signatures. We use:
+* LaTeX to typeset the catalogues
+* dvibook to re-arrange into signatures
+* dvidvi to get 2 A5s on one A4 for printing.
+Thus, the dvi file used for printing is 2 stages removed from the dvi file
+produced by the LaTeX run that typeset the catalogue. The catalogues are
+hundreds of pages long, and the final output device's per-page cost is
+high.
+
+Sometimes the final output device messes a particular page up. It is
+desirable to reprint this particular page. But, by this time, the
+page-numbering is somewhat convoluted. E.g., if one picks up a messed up
+2-up page from a 32-page signature, the numbers printed on the sheet don't
+give much indication of what one should put after "dvips -p " to reprint
+that page. (The catalogues have some roman-numbered pages at the front,
+which don't help.) It would be possible to work it out, but somewhat
+tedious.
+
+A nice approach would be to find the messed-up page within the final "2-up
+32-page signatures" on a graphics display, and to read off its "page-number
+counted from start of final dvi file". This would then give a number to
+put after "dvips -p =" to get the page printed. I know that DVItoVDU
+displays "page number from start of dvi file". Is thre any other
+"graphical previewing software" that also displays this information. (We
+have a number of platforms available, so information about anything on any
+platform is potentially relevant.)
+
+A nicer approach would be to find the messed-up page within the final "2-up
+32-page signatures" on a graphics display, and to give a mouse-click to say
+"send this page to my PostScript printer". Does anything like this exist

+The CTAN archives contain a verbatim.sty file that you can include in
+your \documentstyle line:
+
+ \documentstyle[verbatim...]{whatever}
+
+This style includes a \verbatiminput command that does what you want:

+Subject: Problems with dvipsk
+
+Hi!
+
+ Out of extreme exasperation, I'm finally calling on all of you
+for help. I apparently installed LaTeX 2.09 and dvipsk 5.55a successfully
+on a Sun SPARCstation 1 (this is my third or fourth attempt, each with
+different difficulties). All of the problems I have had seem to branch
+from not having the correct fonts, or incorrectly installing the right
+fonts. In this case, Metafont can not seem to build a font from the fonts
+already installed...
+
+First I constructed the .dvi file using latex (apparently with no problems,
+and none mentioned in the .log file):

+Subject: CTAN archives
+
+In the CTAN archives, each directory has a file, 00Contents, which
+appears to be regenerated every night. It would be nice if all of the
+directories of the CTAN archives didn't have their modified date
+changed every night as a result of generating this 00Contents file.
+
+For example, when I connect to an archive that I haven't connected to
+in a while, I do a "dir -t" to see which directories have recent
+modified dates, which probably have something new in them that I might
+be interested in. With the way things are with the CTAN archives I
+can't do this.
+
+One suggestion for regenerating the 00Contents file is to send the
+output of the "ls" command to /tmp/00Contents, and then use the Unix
+diff or cmp command to see if it's different than the current one, and
+if it is, then replace the current 00Contents file with the one in
+/tmp.

+Thanks for the suggestion. You are correct; as of right now, the
+00Contents file is automatically generated each night on the CTAN hosts (in
+SHSU's case, via a cron job immediately following the major mirroring run
+of the evening). This is achieved with a somewhat ingenious "make"

+I am forwarding this reply to the CTAN coordinating team for its

+
+Yes, there is a program called TeX-CAD (or texcad, or whatever), but it is
+intended to serve an entirely different purpose: You can do drawings
+(i.e. CAD: Computer Aided Design) consisting of some elementary tokens
+provided by LaTeX (lines, circles, etc.) and then convert the results
+into LaTeX code that can be included in your (LaTeX-) file.
+
+I suppose that instead of this you are looking for some program to have
+the typeset formulas on your screen *immediately* after typing.
+This is (for reasons on which I won't waste precious bandwidth explaining
+here) not the philosophy of TeX or LaTeX. So you might consider to use
+a wordprocessor (or DTP program, as they call it), that gives you that
+feel of "What you see is what you get".
+
+On the other hand, there *are* some implementations of TeX or LaTeX
+that indeed simplify (and therefore accelerate) that inherent editing -
+compiling - viewing cycle such that from within your editor you can start
+[La]TeX and the previewer with few keystrokes/mouse clicks. This depends
+largely on what kind of machine you are using.

+Subject: eplain 2.6 available
+
+I have released Eplain version 2.6. It is available by ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{eplain/*,eplain.tar.gz}
+
+and soon from the ctan hosts in tex-archive/macros/eplain.
+
+Please send bug reports to tex-eplain@cs.umb.edu. You can join this
+list by sending email to tex-eplain-request@cs.umb.edu containing a
+single line
+subscribe you@preferred.email.address
+
+Here is a summary of the most significant changes (from the file NEWS in
+the distribution):
+
+* Indexing support (in conjunction with MakeIndex).
+* Generalization of .toc files for lists of figures/tables, etc.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* \commdiag and other arrow macros work again.
+* \eqalignno right-justifies the first column in \leftdisplays, as in
+ non-leftdisplays.
+
+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'.

+
+Dear Colleague ---
+
+Are you thinking of coming to EuroTeX '94? (dates and details are appended,
+for those who have seen no previous announcement of this conference). If so,
+would you like to present a paper?
+
+
+The themes of this year's EuroTeX conference are
+
+ Principles;
+ Practice;
+ Progress;
+ POLAND!
+
+and papers are now urgently being sought. We are hoping to follow the
+example set at Prague in 1992 and Aston in 1993, by making the proceedings
+available actually at the conference, and in order for this to be feasible,
+it is necessary to establish some fairly strict guidelines for submission.
+
+Abstracts are wanted _now_, and must be submitted no later than Friday
+10th June; the committee will acknowledge receipt of all abstracts, and
+will let authors know whether or not the paper is accepted by no later
+than Friday 24th June. One clear month will then be allowed for preparation
+of the full-text papers, which must therefore be submitted no later than
+Friday 22nd July, and these papers will then be passed on to referees who
+are knowledgeable in the chosen subject area: the referee and author then
+have one further month in which to agree and produce a `best possible' version
+of the paper. The final version of the paper must be submitted by Friday
+20th August.
+
+Papers may be prepared in either Plain TeX or LaTeX, and a copy of `EuroTeX.Sty'
+will be sent to all who submit abstracts; this will be a direct derivative of
+TUGproc.Sty, and authors wishing to make an early start on marking-up their text
+may safely base their work on the current release of TUGproc. In order to
+ensure a uniform appearance in the Proceedings, authors are urged _not_ to make
+changes to the default fonts, leading, etc.
+
+If you would like to present a paper, please complete the e-form below,
+and return it to the Programme Committee, EuroTeX '94:

+EuroTeX will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off the coast of
+Gdansk in Poland. The conference will run from Monday September 26th to Friday
+September 30th, and the _maximum_ cost (based on two persons sharing) will not
+exceed $260-00 / sterling 175-00 / DM 450-00. Those arriving early on Monday
+will be able to take part in a guided tour of the old town of Gdansk, whilst
+Tuesday to Friday will be packed with talks and tutorials on TeX and related
+topics. Subject to demand, there will also be a series of TeX-related courses
+during the days following the conference proper.
+
+All delegates will be accommodated in a single building, and for the whole week
+will be cut off from civilisation: no distractions, no need to leave the
+island: everything will be provided. For those unable to sustain the pace,
+quiet meditative walks along the shore searching for amber will provide the
+ideal opportunity for therapeutic meditation.

+
+ The new LaTeX
+
+ Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team
+
+ June 1994
+
+
+
+The LaTeX3 project team is pleased to announce the release of the new
+standard version of LaTeX. It is upwardly compatible with existing
+LaTeX documents, and contains new features including the long-awaited
+graphics extensions.
+
+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 were several incompatible systems all claiming to
+be LaTeX. =
+
+
+The new LaTeX puts an end to this unsatisfactory situation -- it gives
+access to all extensions such as SLiTeX, AmSLaTeX, and PSLaTeX, based
+on a single format. This will end the proliferation of mutually
+incompatible dialects of LaTeX.
+
+We have also introduced a small number of often-requested features
+(such as more control over float placement) and an improved interface
+for writers of document classes and packages.
+
+The new LaTeX 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.
+
+>From now on there will be a new distribution of LaTeX twice a year, in
+June and December.
+
+The new LaTeX can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from the CTAN archives:
+
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk /tex-archive/macros/latex/base
+ ftp.shsu.edu /tex-archive/macros/latex/base
+ ftp.dante.de /tex-archive/macros/latex/base
+
+
+The files in these directories require a somewhat long unpacking
+process. For those who prefer to skip this step, we provide a second
+distribution in unpacked format in the following CTAN directories:
+
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk /tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked
+ ftp.shsu.edu /tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked
+ ftp.dante.de /tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked
+
+
+Apologies and Thanks
+- --------------------
+For obvious reasons, we have not been able to incorporate everyone's
+suggestions for improvements or fixes to LaTeX.
+
+We are nevertheless very grateful to everyone who has made suggestions
+and/or reported bugs and other problems with old versions and with the
+beta-test versions. We hope that all of your reports have been
+answered by one of us: if not, please let us know. We have given them
+all serious consideration and, in many cases where we have not been
+able to act on them now, we have added them to the list of things that
+need further attention in the future. Also, of course, many of them
+could be developed into useful LaTeX packages, by you!

+Subject: Help with psfig and *.eps?
+
+Greetings. I'm in dire need of some quick help with what may be
+trivial questions, and thank you in advance for whatever you can
+offer.
+
+* We have an encapsulated postscript file that prints on our
+postscript printers just fine (DEC lnxx series printers attached to
+VAX VMS systems) and is also able to be previewed with ghostview and
+DEC's CDA viewer, but that is absolutely impossible to include in a
+TeX document for printing.
+ - Our version of psfig seems to be 1.1 on VMS - undoubtedly
+ antiquated - where can I get a newer version?
+ - Our TeX is 2.991, LaTeX is 2.09, on a VAX running VMS 5.5-2
+ - I also tried it on an Alpha running OSF/1 v2.0, with
+ TeX v3.141, LaTex v2.09, psfig v1.8 - same results as VMS.
+ - When using psfig to include the .eps file for printing,
+ - we get a postscript output file with no complaints from TeX
+ - the file prints with no complaints from the printing software
+ - *** NOTHING COMES OUT OF THE PRINTER ***
+ - no error pages, no online msgs, nothing.
+
+Here is the TeX file I tried:
+
+\input psfig
+\null\vskip 3 true in
+\centerline{\psfig{figure=vcbf1.eps}}
+\vskip 3 true in
+\centerline{Figure 1}
+\end
+
+and here is the LaTeX file I tried:
+
+\documentstyle[12pt,doublespace]{article}
+\input psfig
+\begin{document}
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+\vspace{-3.0cm}
+\centerline{\psfig{figure=vcbf1.eps,height=8in,bbllx=80bp,bblly=300bp,bburx=550
+bp,bbury=700bp,clip=}}
+\vspace{-3.0cm}
+\caption{\label{Ffds}Predictions for $f_{D_s}$ obtained using
+error limits.}
+\end{figure}
+\end{document}
+\end
+
+The bounding box info seems correct, based on ghostview's image of the
+.eps file. Nothing prints, however.
+
+ Could someone please advise what to do to get this to work in TeX?
+ Psfig works on other *.eps files, just not this particular one.
+ I'd rather not upgrade TeX or LaTex if I don't have to, would be
+ happy to upgrade psfig if I knew where to find it for VMS and for
+ OSF/1. However, given that it fails with 2 versions of psfig, as
+ noted above, I don't think that's the problem.
+
+* Last question - where are some archive sources for TeX FAQs, this
+ group, TeX distributions?
+
+
+Many thanks, anxiously awaiting help to help an anxious user!!!!

+attend should indicate in the space provided the minimum bursary
+which would allow them to be able to attend, and should give clear
+reasons why they are applying. All applications will be treated in the
+strictest confidence. Delegates who are in no need of a bursary and
+who are able to assist others less fortunate are urged to pledge a
+donation in the space provided.

+Keywords: RTF, LaTeX, Translation, Microsoft Word, Word for Windows
+
+Archive-Name: auto/comp.text.tex/ANNOUNCE-LaTeX-to-RTF-translator
+
+latex2rtf is a translator program that translates LaTeX text into the
+RTF format used by several textprocessors, including Microsoft Word and
+Word for Windows. It was written by Fernando Dorner and Andreas Granzer
+in a one-semester course in our department. This is new software and as
+such not very well tested. It works for us, however. If you find any
+Bugs, or make any improvements to the code, please report them to the
+address below.
+This program should answer one of the frequently asked questions in this
+group, namely how to translate from LaTeX to Microsoft Word.
+
+The sources can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
+ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at
+in the directory /pub/misc
+in the file latex2rtf.1.0.tar.gz
+you need the GNU gunzip program to uncompress the file. Sources can be
+obtained from one of the GNU archives.
+Alternatively you can specify the file name rtf2LaTeX.tar when
+downloading via ftp and the tar-file will get decompressed before
+transmission.

+ General information >> 4allTeX CD-ROM <<
+ =========================================
+
+ July 3th, 1994
+ Updated mail
+
+
+| (Changebar in the left margin indicates an update comparing with
+| earlier mail)
+
+ Below you will find the most important items concerning the
+ >>4allTeX CD-ROM<<.
+
+ 1. Availability
+ -- ------------
+ The 4allTeX CD-ROM was introduced on June 9th 1994 at the 13th local
+ NTG (Dutch TeX Users Group) meeting in the Netherlands (and exactly on
+ time!).
+
+ 2. Contents
+ -- --------
+ 4TeX is based on the famous, fast and well-known emTeX distribution.
+ Besides that, the 4allTeX (yes for all!!) contains all related
+ software as available as of April 1994.
+ So:
+ 1. It contains the latest 4TeX version (3.20; networkdrive independent).
+ 4TeX gives us a userfriendly interface with a large set of utilities.
+ 2. 4TeX contains the software in direct executable form.
+ 3. 4TeX supports 31 formats including big versions, TeX, LaTeX, Cyrillic,
+ Polish, Greek, texinfo, lollipop, latex2e (beta release) etc.
+ 4. 4TeX supports 59 printer drivers (including linotronics, matrix
+ printers, 300/600 dpi laserprinters, laserjets, fax etc),
+ 5. 4TeX supports graphics: both for previewing and printing. All
+ functionality of e.g. BM2FONT, GhostScript, HP2XX, TeXCAD, QFIG
+ are included, ready to use!
+ 6. 4TeX includes amSpell spell-checker for languages English (UK),
+ English (USA), Dutch, German, Franch, Spanish and Italian.
+ 7. 4TeX contains conversion utilities: WP to LaTeX/TeX,
+ MS-Word/Chiwriter/PC-Write/troff to LaTeX, detex, untex, etc.
+ 8. 4allTeX contains a huge set of fonts: Why waste your time generating
+ fonts (fax, 300dpi, 600dpi, etc)? They are available also for non-DOS
+ systems!
+ 9. 4allTeX contains a huge set of .sty .mf .pk .fli .tfm .bst .etc
+ files.
+ 10. 4TeX includes Metafont with automatic font generation.
+| 11. 4TeX fully supports PostScript fonts, also with automatic font
+| generation using PS2PK!
+ 12. With 4TeX you can view and print directly in e.g. Times.
+ 13. 4TeX contains dbase utilities, supports makeindex, etc.
+ 14. 4TeX uses default (you can change that in the 4TeX configuration file:
+ use your favourite editor) the integrated QEDIT editor (you can
+ even do block compilation: mark a small part of your (large)
+ document, and ONLY that part will be compiled and viewed!
+ 15. 4allTeX contains a huge set of documentation (> 150Mbyte), including
+ TeX/LaTeX/Metafont documentation and tutorials both for novices and
+ gurus, including:
+ . ALL MAPS issues (dutch and english articles; starting in 1988; about
+ 1600 pages with high density information, in a large set of PostScript
+ files)
+ . ALL TEXHAX issues (1986-1994)

+ crossword, go, and more.
+ >>including<< ALL fonts)
+| 17. 4allTeX contains French, Cyrillic and Polish packages.
+ 18. With 4TeX, it is very easy to generate completely new formats.
+ 19. 4allTeX contains a lot of .dvi and PostScript utilities
+ 20. 4allTeX contains GNUPLOT
+ 21. 4allTeX contains extensive bibliographies on TeX-related topics
+
+ ====> It contains even more than that!!!
+
+ Hard disk requirement for running 4TeX (processing all your documents):
+ less than 50k!
+
+ The 4allTeX CD-ROM is the FIRST and (at least in the near future) the ONLY
+ CD-ROM with a:
+ >>>> ready-to-use MS-DOS TeX implementation <<<<
+ including a HUGE set of documentation.
+
+ The 4allTeX CD-ROM contains a UNIQUE SET of TeX/LaTeX/etc software for
+ both MS-DOS and non MS-DOS users!
+
+ Unbelievable but TRUE!
+
+ 3. Computer systems
+ -- -------- -------
+ The ready-to-use 4TeX system is available for PC
+ MS-DOS 8086/80286/80386/80486/pentium systems. However, the MAJOR part of
+ the software on the 4allTeX CD-ROM is system INdependent.
+
+ 4. How to install
+ -- --- -- -------
+ The 4TeX system on the 4allTeX CD-ROM can be installed within 20-30
+ seconds (!!) and the first example can be previewed and printed
+ within the next 10-20 seconds.
+ For installation, only the following commands are needed!
+ > cd f: (e.g. the local CD-ROM drive)
+ > inst4tex
+ C(ontinue)
+ C: (name local drive)
+ Y or N (Yes or No generate ACD tree)
+ For starting 4TeX:

+Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: Move of UK CTAN node
+
+The UK node of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network changed its home
+this morning (Friday 8 July, 1994), UK time -- it now resides on
+machines at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory.
+
+In parallel with the move, a number of new network names have been
+generated, which distinguish the archive's different services.
+
+To access the new archive, please use:
+
+ tex.ac.uk for email
+ www.tex.ac.uk for www
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk for FTP [128.232.1.87]
+ nfs.tex.ac.uk for NFS
+ gopher.tex.ac.uk for gopher
+
+The archive no longer provides:
+
+ - a WAIS server,
+ - an NIFTP (UK JANET coloured-book file transfer) service
+ (coloured-book only sites within the UK should use the JANET
+ NIFTP/ftp gateway),
+ - public terminal access; browsing facilities are now only available
+ via WWW, ftp or gopher. The gopher service isn't quite what it
+ was, but we'll be working on that.
+
+The file system to mount on the new NFS service is
+ nfs.tex.ac.uk:/public/ctan/tex-archive
+
+ftp users should notice no change. Any shortcomings in any of the
+services should be reported by email to ctan-uk@tex.ac.uk

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] Announce: First patch to latex2rtf
+Keywords: LaTeX, RTF, Microsoft Word, latex2rtf, patch
+
+This is the announcement of the first patch to latex2rtf. A Bug with
+SunOS 4.1.3 missing the declaration of fpos_t and fgetpos fsetpos was
+corrected. Some bugs in the manpage were corrected, too.
+
+latex2rtf is a translator program that translates LaTeX text into the
+RTF format used by several textprocessors, including Microsoft Word and
+Word for Windows. It was written by Fernando Dorner and Andreas Granzer
+in a one-semester course in our department. This is new software and as
+such not very well tested. It works for us, however. If you find any
+Bugs, or make any improvements to the code, please report them to the
+address below.
+This program should answer one of the frequently asked questions in this
+group, namely how to translate from LaTeX to Microsoft Word.
+
+The sources can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
+ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at
+in the directory /pub/misc
+in the file latex2rtf.1.1.tar.gz
+you need the GNU gunzip program to uncompress the file. Sources can be
+obtained from one of the GNU archives.
+Alternatively you can specify the file name latex2rtf.1.1.tar when
+downloading via ftp and the tar-file will get decompressed before
+transmission.
+The patch from version 1.0 can be found in the file latex2rtf.patch.1.0-1.1.gz

+Subject: modes 2.0 available
+
+I have released version 2.0 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf
+
+You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
+file server if you cannot ftp: email fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of
+`sendme modes'.
+
+This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
+definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and
+landscape mode.
+
+No new modes, but I've renamed all the modes so the primary names are <=
+eight characters and all lowercase, and hence portable directory names.
+This also saves a bit of memory, though not enough ... if you have the
+table sizes from mf.web, modes.mf will eat up too much string space to
+do any actual font generation. You can work around this by either
+increasing the table sizes (as in web2c's mf.ch), or by removing
+unneeded modes from modes.mf and renaming the file. I can't decipher the
+Metafont source well enough to understand how to make the modes use less
+memory; if some Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it.
+
+If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
+existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition,
+particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome.

+
+Hallo,
+
+the only way I know, is to convert the LaTeX file into a RTF file. MS-Word
+should be able to handle RTF-Files.
+
+I used the program TeX2RFT, which is availible by ftp. I've got it from
+ftp.dante.de. You might find it on other ftp servers as well.
+
+In the august issue of the german computer magazine 'iX' (Heise Verlag

+ As I was used to write scientific texts with "Word" on

+ In particular tensors like stress and strain are denoted
+by lowercase Greek letters \sigma and \varepsilon, with a

+Subject: Announcing xdvi patchlevel 18
+Summary:
+Followup-To:
+Distribution: world
+Organization: U.C. Berkeley Math. Department.
+Keywords:
+
+OK, so this is a little late, but:
+
+This is to announce that patchlevel 18 for xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files
+under the X Window System, has been released. This is a full release,
+as opposed to a patch, due to the extent of the changes. It is available
+via anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org in the file contrib/applications/xdvi.tar.Z
+(and coming soon to a mirror site near you...). It is also available on
+the R6 contrib tape.
+
+This version adds:
+ o Support for PostScript specials.
+ o Checking of checksums in the .dvi file vs. the .pk or .gf file.
+ o Non-square magnifying glasses.
+
+As was mentioned in the announcement of patch 17, it removes support for X10
+and for the pxl font format.

+Subject: Announcing gsftopk 1.7
+
+This is to announce the availability of Version 1.7 of gsftopk.
+gsftopk is a package whose purpose is to allow use of PostScript<TM> fonts
+with xdvi. It consists of:
+
+ 1. A program called gsftopk.c which creates pk font files for the
+ PostScript fonts. The bitmaps are obtained from ghostscript.
+ 2. A script called xdvimakepk which is to be used in place of
+ MakeTeXPK in xdvi.
+
+The package requires the use of a dvips-style psfonts.map file.
+
+The package is available via anonymous ftp from math.berkeley.edu
+in the file pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.tar.Z. To upgrade from version
+1.6 you may use pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.patch7.Z instead.
+
+gsftopk is also released as a subpackage of xdvi. Version 1.7 of gsftopk
+(or a later version) will be part of patchlevel 19 of xdvi. Patchlevel 18
+of xdvi includes only gsftopk 1.6.
+
+Version 1.7 adds the ability to do subdirectory searching, using the same
+// semantics as the web2c release of TeX, et. al.

+Subject: Announcement: Sauter tools Version 2.2
+
+Today, the Version 2.2 of the Sauter parameter files have been installed
+at the german CTAN site and should propagate to the other ones in the
+next 24 hours.
+
+The Sauter tools allow you to generate any font out of the cm family at an
+arbitrary design size by interpolating between the Knuthian parameters or
+extrapolating them. The Sauter fonts can be used to replace any scaled
+fonts used by LaTeX and plain TeX.
+
+
+Version 2.2 contains mainly some bug fixes:
+
+c-cmb: now produces characters of the same width as in cmr
+b-wasy: inputs c-cmmi instead of the outdated c-cmsy
+b-bbold: now gets the right design_size into the tfm file
+suatercm.fd: LaTeX2e support
+
+Thanks to all the people, who send in the bug reports and suggested fixes.

+AsTeR --Audio System For Technical Readings-- is a computing system that
+exploits the display-independent nature of electronic information to orally
+render technical documents marked up in La)TeX.
+
+You can experience an interactive demo of AsTeR on the World Wide Web at
+http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/raman/aster/demo.html
+
+This hypertext document presents a collection of math examples rendered in
+audio by AsTeR and in Postscript by LaTeX/DVIPS.
+
+It aptly brings out the power of the Web in publishing multimedia documents:
+none of my journal publications come with online demos.
+
+It also emphasizes the display-independent nature of electronic markup
+documents; both the audio formatted version and the visually laid out
+Postscript were generated from the same LaTeX source.

+
+A few people noticed that the IP address given for ftp.tex.ac.uk in
+the trailer of the previous issue was incorrect, now that the UK CTAN
+host has relocated from Aston University to Cambridge. It was thought
+that this error should be pointed out promptly, before the usual few
+weeks elapse until the next issue. The correct address is shown in
+the trailer below. Of course, everyone should be using domain names
+and getting nameservers to look up the addresses, right?
+
+My thanks to Malcolm Clark <cudax@csv.warwick.ac.uk>, Martyn Johnson
+<Martyn.Johnson@computer-lab.cambridge.ac.uk> and Robin Fairbairns
+<Robin.Fairbairns@computer-lab.cambridge.ac.uk> for being so eagle-eyed,
+and my apologies to anyone inconvenienced by the error.

+Subject: underlining
+
+I know that the TeXbook says that the best way to do underlining is to
+build a new font, but for my purposes that seems like overkill. On the
+other hand, all my simple macros to produce underlined text fail to
+produce the correct results. What I want is something like:
+ \underline{This text should be underlined, but the space characters
+contained in the text should be left without underlines}
+
+This seems like it ought to be simple, and it probably is, but I can't
+get a macro to do what I want. Anyone out there who can give me some
+help?

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] mcite: Combining several BibTeX entries into one \bibitem
+
+Last week I asked and only got `me too' responses. Thus I sat down
+yesterday evening and wrote it myself (that's The True Trouble with
+TeX: it's too much fun wasting your time by hacking up cutee little
+macros :-). Anyway, you can get it from
+
+ crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de:pub/ohl/mcite
+
+and (hopefully) soon from a CTAN site near you.
+
+This LaTeX2e package provides support for collapsing multiple
+citations into one, as custumoary in physics journals. For example
+\cite{foo1,*foo2,bar} will combine the BibTeX entries foo1 and foo2
+into a single \bibitem. Obviously, the non-trivial point is that it
+works with BibTeX. See mcite.dtx for more detailed documentation.
+
+Enjoy,

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] ANNOUNCING: Seminar Package for LaTeX2e
+
+Hey netters, don't be fooled by LaTeX2e's slides class.
+It is still lame, compared to the amazing Seminar package.
+
+V1.0 of seminar.sty works with LaTeX2e in compatibility
+mode, but I have finally added a seminar.cls that works
+in LaTeX2e's native mode. This is a minimal modification
+of seminar.sty, not a new version. The new distribution
+is called V1.0e. If you already have v1.0, the only
+new files you need are
+
+ seminar.cls semhelv.sty semlcmss.sty
+
+from
+
+ Princeton.EDU:/pub/tvz/seminar/inputs
+
+You can also get the entire package (which still includes
+seminar.sty and still works with LaTeX 2.09).
+
+Let me know about any problems.
+
+Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz for making the necessary changes.

+THIS IS A SUPPLEMENTARY READ-ME FOR V1.0e OF THE SEMINAR PACKAGE

+***********************************************************************
+
+COPYRIGHT 1993, 1994 by Timothy Van Zandt, tvz@Princeton.EDU
+
+ABOUT V1.0e:
+
+ V1.0e is identical to v1.0 of 93/04/01, except for a few changes
+ so that Seminar can work with NFSS2 and LaTeX2e:
+
+ - semhelv.sty and semlcmss.sty have been modified to work
+ with NFSS2 and LaTeX2e (but they still work with NFSS).
+
+ - seminar.cls has been added. This is a LaTeX2e document class,
+ derived from seminar.sty v1.0 by Sebastian Rahtz.
+
+ If you already have have seminar.sty v1.0e, then all you need
+ are this read-me file plus these files from the inputs
+ directory:
+
+ seminar.cls semhelv.sty semlcmss.sty
+
+USING SEMINAR WITH LATEX2E:
+
+ !!! YOU MUST BE USING A LATEX2E RELEASED AFTER 19 FEBRUARY 1994
+
+ You can either use seminar.sty in compatibility mode:
+ \documentstyle{seminar}
+ Or use the seminar.cls document class:
+ \documentclass{seminar}
+
+ Unless you are using other macros that only work in
+ compatibility mode, you might as well use the document class.
+
+ You can use the following options with \documentclass{seminar}:
+
+ article slidesonly notes notesonly notesonly*
+ noxcomment portrait a4 semhelv semlcmss semlayer
+ semrot semcolor slidesec
+
+ NOTE: Use `a4', not `sem-a4'.
+
+ `seminar.cls' is a minimal modification of seminar.sty. The
+ next release will take advantage of more of LaTeX2e's special
+ capabilities.

+From: "K. Berry" <kb@cs.umb.edu>
+Subject: modes 2.1 available
+
+I have released version 2.1 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf
+
+and shortly from the ctan sites in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-2.1.mf.
+finger ctan_us@ftp.shsu.edu for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors.
+
+You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
+file server if you cannot ftp: email fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of
+`sendme modes'.
+
+News:
+No new modes, but I've added landscape definitions for all the devices
+with meaningfully nonsquare aspect ratios, named as the primary device
+with an `l' appended. Some primary names were changed to be shorter as
+a result, but the old names are still there as synonyms.
+
+I've also been told that `ljfour' is suitable for the Apple Select 360,
+and that the Xerox 4050 mode works for the Xerox 4700, so that
+information is included.
+
+
+It's generally of no use to mail me about devices not in modes.mf;
+everything I know about is described therein. It also includes lots of
+text about how to create a new mode_def, etc.
+
+
+General information:
+modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
+definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and
+landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the
+original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c)
+or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I can't decipher mf.web
+well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some
+Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it.
+
+If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
+existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition,
+particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome.

+Subject: Underlining
+
+Last month, I requested help in locating/finding a macro that would:
+1) underline words, but not the intervening spaces;
+2) permit line breaks to occur while underlining.
+
+I received about a dozen responses, every one different. Many of them
+were interesting and taught me things I did not know. However, only
+one response was completely on point. My vote for TeXnician of the
+month therefore goes to Jim Nearing (nearing@phyvax.ir.miami.edu)
+for the following clever and concise pair of macros:
+
+% This underlining macro is implemented by tail recursion.
+% If the terminal character is not found, it executes the desired
+% process and \let's \next equal itself. It then calls \next.
+% If the terminal token is found, it \let's \next equal \relax
+% before calling \next.
+% The first word is handled separately.
+%
+% Usage: \ul{whatever you like, it will continue the underlining
+% even across line breaks}.
+%
+\newif\iffirstul
+
+\def\ullspecial#1 {\ifx\empty#1 \let\next=\relax \else
+ \iffirstul\firstulfalse\else%
+ \discretionary{}{}{\hbox{\ }}\fi%
+ \underbar{#1}\let\next=\ullspecial\fi \next}
+
+\def\ul#1{\firstultrue\ullspecial#1 \empty }
+
+The only thing to watch out for is that it does require that the
+values of hyphenpenalty and exhyphenpenalty be sufficiently low to
+permit line breaks to occur. If you desire to suppress hyphenated
+line breaking, then the value should be set to some reasonably high
+value, but not an impossibly high one. He suggests 1000 (as opposed
+to the 10000 usually used to ban such breaking), and I have found
+that that works well. Alternatively, one could simply alter the value
+of these variables for the paragraph in which the underlined text
+occurs. For most people, who desire the ordinary hyphenated line
+breaking rules, the macro works wonderfully as it stands.
+
+Thank you again, Jim!

+Subject: List processing TeX macro needed
+
+I am looking for a short and efficient soultion for the following
+problem:
+
+>From a list of names, each delimited by a delimiter \mydelim, I want to
+produce two "name boxes" to be used as output. In the case of three or
+more names I want one long where all \delim's are replaced by a ','
+except for the last one which should be replaced by '{\rm and}', and one
+short with the first name followed by '{\it et al}.'.
+
+========================================================================
+
+Example 1:
+
+The list
+
+First A. Familyx \delim First B. Familyy \delim First C. Familyz
+
+shall be translated into
+
+First A. Familyx, First B. Familyy {\rm and} First C. Familyz
+
+and to
+
+First A. Familyx {\it et al}.
+
+========================================================================
+
+Example 2:
+
+The list
+
+First A. Familyx \delim First B. Familyy
+
+shall be translated into
+
+First A. Familyx {\rm and} First B. Familyy
+
+both for the long and short output.
+
+========================================================================
+
+In a way this is similar to what 'bibtex' handles so elegantly for
+author lists. I thought this would be rather trivial in TeX, but
+several days of studies of Knuth and von Bechtolsheim has not lead me
+anywhere.
+
+I need to solve this problem quickly and would appreciate any help
+or hints that you might have.

+Subject: Page layout in LaTeX?
+
+I am a LaTeX beginner. I am using LaTeX for my report and I have some
+questions would like to have your suggestions as follows;
+
+1) Using Letter size pape(8.5"X11"), one-sided output, how to set the
+page layout as
+
+ - 3 cm left margin
+ - 2 cm right margin
+ - 3 cm top margin
+ - 2.5 cm bottom margin
+
+2) the page number should be in the "top margin" at center position as
+
+ -1- , -2- ,,,,,,
+
+3) equation numbers are according to the section numbers i.e.,
+
+ in section 2 , eq. no. should be 2.1, 2.2, ..
+
+Your promptly actions are highly appreciable.
+
+Thanking you,
+Napajit.

+Subject: Help needed to convert fonts
+
+I'm using Textures 1.6.2 on a Macintosh
+and I'm also using TeX, Version 3.1415 on a Unix machine.
+
+I have bought the package Lucida from Blue Sky Research.
+With this package, I got
+ - the Outline fonts
+ - the Screen fonts
+ - the AFM files
+ - the metrics files
+for the macintosh.
+
+I would like to use these package on my Unix machine.
+
+So I have (for all the fonts)
+
+- - create the VPL files from the macintosh metrics document (with EdMetrics)
+- - create the TFM and VF files from these VPL files (with vptovf)
+- - create the PFA files from the outline fonts (with macfont)
+
+I have modified the file psfonts.map in such a manner that dvips
+(dvipsk 5.58a) could deal with these files (tfm,vf and pfa)
+
+BUT after all these manipulations, I don't get the same results with
+the macintosh and with the Unix machine.
+
+What's wrong ?

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] ANNOUNCE CmacTeX2.2 (Macintosh)
+
+Version 2.2 of CMacTeX is now available on CTAN in the directory
+tex-archive/systems/mac/cmactex. It consists of TeX3.1415, Metafont2.71,
+dvips, a previewer, a Postscript printing utility, and the usual font
+utilities like gftopk, etc.
+
+The principal feature of the new version is use of Apple Events to
+launch and execute the various subprograms. As a result, Version 2.2
+requires System 7. The popular editors, Alpha and BBEdit, can be
+configured to completely control CMacTeX, i.e., it is possible to
+launch TeX from your editor, have it process the file displayed in
+your editor's front window, automatically switch to the previewer, and
+if you are satisfied, have the editor launch dvips to convert the
+dvi file into Postscript. CMacTeX can also talk with the editor. If
+TeX encounters an error and you type an 'e' at the ? prompt, CMacTeX
+will ask the editor to open the tex file and highlight the offending
+line.
+
+As in earlier releases, most of CMacTeX is free. For further information
+see the Readme files available on CTAN.

+Subject: New version of greektex available
+
+A new version of greektex has been posted in the following sites:
+
+ CTAN sites eg. ftp.dante.de
+ in the directory pub/tex/language/greek/greektex
+
+ zeus.di.uoa.ariadne-t.gr (143.233.122.1)
+ in the directory pub/greek/greektex/dos
+
+ math.ucla.edu (128.97.4.254)
+ in the directory pub/moschovakis/greektex
+
+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, LaTeX
+or AMS-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. It is very easy to install
+greektex in any platform with a full TeX implementation. The system
+is especially simple to use on a PC equipped with a VGA screen, for
+which it provides a full bilingual keyboard system for entering (and
+seeing on the screen) mixed English and modern (monotoniko) or classical
+(polytoniko) Greek text.
+
+The heart of greektex is a set of "Greek-English" 256 character fonts
+which extend the Computer Modern fonts of Knuth by a selection of the
+Levy characters: For example, the first 128 characters of CLR10 are
+exactly the characters of CMR10, while characters 128-255 are the Greek
+"apla" (traditional) characters, as programmed by Levy. Each font is
+named by replacing the CM prefix of the Knuth font it extends by CL,
+e.g. CLTI10 is the extension of the English text italic font CMTI10,
+etc. Using these fonts, it is easy to get Greek-English versions of
+macro packages, basically by replacing each CM font by its CL extension
+in the font definitions, and adding Greek hyphenation and a brief set of
+macros to handle classical, polytoniko input. The package includes such
+extensions for plain TeX, LaTeX and AMS-LaTeX, so that their format
+files can be produced immediately by running initex on them. It also
+provides 300 DPI compilations of the CL extensions for all preloaded
+fonts of (classical) LaTeX, as well as a complete set of all the
+metafont files and adaptations of the Sauter scaling programs needed to
+compile the fonts in any resolution and point size.
+
+Those familiar with the first two versions of greektex (posted by
+Moschovakis in 1991 and 1993) will be interested in the following new
+features of this more complete system, prepared jointly by
+Moschovakis and Spiliotis.
+
+(1) The fonts have been slightly improved and the internal coding of
+some characters changed, to make the system compatible with more Greek
+extended keyboard drivers and provide fuller coverage of classical
+Greek. In addition, the fonts have been renamed, so that it is not
+possible to print dvi files produced by earlier versions of greektex
+using the new fonts, BUT: __monotoniko__ greektex files produced for
+earlier versions can be reTeXed with the new version and they will print
+exactly as before.
+
+(2) The polytoniko (classical) system is implemented by a new set of
+macros, based on a very simple architecture which makes it very robust,
+so that, in particular, it enjoys essentially full LaTeX functionality.
+(Files with polytoniko input prepared for the second greektex version
+cannot be handled by this version.)
+
+(3) This distribution includes an extended dual keyboard system, which
+makes it possible to enter from the keyboard and see on the screen the
+diairesis on cap Iota and cap Ypsilon and the anw teleia in monotoniko,
+as well as all the accents, aspiration marks and the iota subscript in
+polytoniko. The classical accent+stress "decoration" of each vowel
+(excluding the modern oxeia) is easy to enter by escape sequences and it
+shows on the screen clearly, immediately preceding the vowel.
+Internally, each decoration is coded by a single byte, and this is the
+key to the new, very robust implementation of polytoniko.
+
+(4) The files needed to compile a Greek-English format file for
+AMS-LaTeX have been added. (To do this, you need, in addition, all the
+AMS macro files and fonts required for AMS-LaTeX.)
+
+(5) A Greek bibtex and makeindex system has been added. They can
+handle Greek bibliographies and indexes as well as special Greek
+lexicographical ordering.
+
+A complete description of the system is given in the manual
+"greektex.doc" and in the README file of the package, from which we copy
+the INDEX.

+========== Files which are necessary to install and run greektex ========
+
+Note: Some files come in two versions with different extensions,
+ .gr and .tex, e.g. geabbr.gr and geabbr.tex. Only those
+ with the extension .tex are used by greektex, but
+ they are hard to read; the .gr files are easy to read in
+ a DOS-bilingual keyboard, and they are TeX-equivalent to the
+ others, in most (but not all) platforms.
+
+(1) README This file.
+
+(2) pkunzip.exe The program needed to uncompress on the PC
+ the zip files of this distribution.
+ (This is a recent version of pkunzip;
+ older versions may not work with these
+ zip files.)
+
+(3) install.dos Installation instructions under DOS.
+ install.win Installation instructions under WINDOWS.
+ cpwin.tcp Code page file, needed for WINDOWS installation.
+
+(4) gedocs.zip greektex.doc The document describing how to use
+ the system. It also gives the credits for the

+
+======================= Auxilliary programs ==============================
+
+
+(9) clmf.zip The metafont files used to create the fonts,
+ with a brief instruction document clmf.doc
+ and some batch files for compiling fonts in
+ additional pointsizes and any resolution.
+
+(10) gkbibtex.zip Greek-English version of bibtex and accompanying
+ gkmkindx.zip makeindex program, for DOS.
+
+(11) gkconv.zip Programs for converting between different, common

+
+(12) greek202.zip A complete dual keyboard system, includes grx-vgagrx
+ and more.
+
+(13) filters.zip Two simple Greek-to-English and English-to-Greek
+ filters (written in C) which make it (just barely)
+ possible to create, read and convert files with
+ mixed Greek and English text in a monolingual

+ with hexadecimal coding of 8-bit characters.
+
+(14) palamas.gr Greek input file and Postscript file of a one

+ and a preprint of a publication which describes
+ greektex in some detail.

+Subject: Proposed merger of UKTeX with TeXhax
+
+It's proposed to merge the UKTeX Digest and TeXhax Digest to form
+one TeX-oriented digest of e-mail questions, answers and announcements.
+
+Since the UK TeX Archive (formerly at Aston University, now located at
+Cambridge University) has now become part of the Comprehensive TeX
+Archive Network (CTAN), there's no longer any real need for a
+UK-oriented TeX digest, for which UKTeX was set up in 1987. A single
+digest for discussing all TeX matters simplifies the issue of "which
+digest do I post to, or should I post to both?". The intention is to
+merge the lists of subscribers at the end of this year and that after
+that date, articles posted to UKTeX will continue to be accepted, but
+will appear in TeXhax with articles posted to that digest. TeXhax
+will continue, being the "senior" digest with the larger list of
+subscribers. One difference between the digests is that UKTeX appears
+weekly, while TeXhax appears much less frequently depending on number
+of articles submitted. To begin with, at least, the plan is to post
+the new TeXhax weekly.
+
+Comments are welcomed (directly to me, please) and I'll summarise any
+responses to the digests in a few weeks.

+
+New versions of dvipsk/xdvik/dviljk are in the usual place:
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
+ ... and CTAN and its mirrors; see the end of this message.
+Please use the nearest site, to reduce the load on our Sparc 1.
+
+The patch that John Interrante and others created for web2c 6.1 for the
+previous kpathsea release should basically work for this release; you
+can get that as the file web2c.kpathsea-2.2.help from the above sites.
+Naturally, I am working on the next release of web2c. It will be ready
+no sooner than a month or two from now (and perhaps significantly
+longer); it's no use to ask me precisely when, as I simply do not know.
+
+As always, thanks to the many people who contributed. I tried to record
+names in the ChangeLog entries.
+
+Please report bugs to tex-k@cs.umb.edu.

+* Extra :'s in an envvar value referring to the texmf.cnf value work.
+* Names like dpi600/cmr10.pk can be found in ls-R.
+* KPATHSEA_DEBUG environment variable checked.
+* Directories like pk/ljfour directly under $TEXMF/fonts are found.
+* New standalone program, kpsexpand, optionally compiled and installed,
+ to do variable expansion (not path searching).
+* Debugging output written to stderr instead of stdout.
+* pxlNNN support removed; I never intended to support `pxl1500'.
+
+dvipsk 5.58c
+* -o and -f once again do not read config.$PRINTER, but a new option
+ -mode and a compile-time default specify the mode.
+* \special{"...} was never supposed to have a closing quote, so don't omit it.
+
+xdvik 18d
+* New --with-ps={no,gs,dps,news} configure options; gs is still the default.
+* The file selection can be cancelled.
+* No complaints about finding 249 dpi if looking for 250.

+Subject: Problems installing TeX on AIX: no MetaFont
+
+This is a probably an FAQ, but anyway:
+
+I am trying to install TeX/LaTeX on an RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.2.
+
+I retrieved the TEX distribution from ftp.tex.ac.uk in the
+systems/aix3.2 directory. I can successfully untar and compile. Once
+I've compiled the executables I find a full tex and latex build but no
+metafont. This is fairly useless because even though I can run all the
+latex programs, when it comes to printing almost all the fonts are
+missing and uncreatable without MF. When looking in the README file it
+seems to imply that MF is part of this distribution.
+
+Am I missing something?

+Subject: Questions about previewers and dvi drivers
+
+Imperial Software Technology is developing a tool which
+generates hardcopy using LaTeX and included PostScript.
+Naturally we would like this output to work on as many TeX
+systems as possible, so I would be grateful for answers to
+a few questions.
+
+ * What are the commonly used previewers and dvi drivers we should
+ aim to support?
+ * Do any of these programs not support either the "psfile=" or
+ "header=" specials?
+ * Is the LaTeX2e "graphics" package going to become the standard graphics
+ interface? Will other packages support its syntax for compatibility?
+ * According to the manual page, xdvi does not "as yet" support "header="
+ specials. Will it? If so, how soon?
+ * What (if any) are the significant differences between xdvi and xdvik?
+ dvips and dvipsk?
+
+Please email responses.
+
+Thank you in advance,

+Subject: tugboat 15 #2 (june 1994)
+
+it is with pleasure and a great deal of relief that i announce that
+the june issue of tugboat (15 #2) is now being printed, and should
+be mailed to tug members in about a week.
+
+an unfortunate combination of logistical and production problems
+have conspired to delay the issue, including internal office moves
+by the editor, with storage of all materials related to the issue,
+extended absences of the editor attending meetings and for other
+reasons, and unexpected difficulties in actual file processing.
+i am sincerely apologetic for the delays; steps are being taken
+to address these problems to help avoid them in the future.
+
+serious production difficulties have also hampered preparation of
+the proceedings issue (tugboat 15 #3). i received notification
+earlier today from the proceedings editors that the bulk of the
+camera copy has been shipped to me for final action. a few pages
+remain to be processed into camera copy, and i expect to be able
+to send that issue to the printer the week after next. (i shall
+be attending a standards meeting next week, and my office is
+being moved again next weekend, so nothing can happen during that
+interval.)
+
+work is also proceeding on issue #4, and i intend to complete it
+as soon as possible, although i cannot give an exact date just yet.
+however, i believe that it will be possible to get the first 1995
+issue out by the end of march, the cover date.

+Subject: TeXsis Version 2.16 Released
+
+ TeXsis Version 2.16 Released
+
+ The latest version (2.16) of the TeXsis macro package of TeX macros
+for physicists is now available (as of 12 November 1994) via anonymous
+ftp from lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu, in the directory /texsis.
+
+The most notable changes or additions are:
+
+ * All bug fixes from patches to TeXsis 2.15 are included in TeXsis 2.16
+ (they were all pretty minor).
+
+ * The manual has been re-organized to make it clearer, and easier to
+ learn how to set up a complete document.
+
+ * Figures and tables can be put at the _bottom_ of a page or column,
+ using \bottomfigure and \bottomtable, or \heavyfigure and \heavytable.
+ More generally, any sort of insertion may be put at the bottom of a
+ page or column with \bottominsert or \heavyinsert.
+
+ * The double column macros have been completely re-written. They are
+ much improved, and support insertions at the bottom of columns,
+ including footnotes. The new macros can also be used by themsleves
+ with Plain TeX.
+
+ * \NFootnote creates numbered footnotes.
+
+ * The PhysRev.txs style file defines \PhysRevManuscript for papers
+ being submitted to the Physical Review, and \PhysRev and \PhysRevLett
+ to emulate the layouts of those journals.
+
+ * The IEEE.txs and WorldSci.txs style files have been updated.
+
+ * \ListFigureCaptions lets you print figure captions at the end of
+ the document.
+
+ * Many other small additions and improvements.
+
+Those of you who have been using the beta version of 2.16 in the past
+few months will find little changed, except that the manual has been
+updated to match the changes to the macros.
+
+ ----------
+
+ To make it easier for the casual reader of electronic preprints
+("e-prints") to print a TeXsis document we have also put all of the core
+TeXsis macros into one source file (called mtexsis.tex), with all the
+comments and blank lines removed. A reader who does not have TeXsis on
+his/her system can then simply get this file, add "\input mtexsis" to
+the manuscript file, and print the paper with Plain TeX. You can make
+your e-print manuscript files automatically load mtexsis.tex if it is
+needed by adding the following line at the begining of the manuscript
+file:
+
+ \ifx\undefined\TeXsis \input mtexsis.tex\fi
+
+It is suggested that you try running such a manuscript through Plain TeX
+with mtexsis.tex first to make sure that it works.
+
+ ----------
+
+ As always, comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcomed, and

+ If you want to learn how to write your documents with LaTeX,

+Subject: TeX Users Group -- 1995 election announcement
+
+
+
+
+ -----------------------------
+ 1995 TeX Users Group Election
+ -----------------------------
+
+The terms of the TUG President and of 5 members of the Board of Directors
+will expire as of the 1995 Annual Business Meeting, which will take
+place in conjunction with the 16th Annual Meeting in July 1995. The
+directors whose terms expire in 1995 are Barbara Beeton, Michael Doob,
+Michel Goossens, and Tom Rokicki; a shortfall in the number of nominees
+in the last election left one position unfilled. The election to choose
+the new President and Board members will be held next Spring, and
+nominations are invited.
+
+The Bylaws provide that ``Any member may be nominated for election to the
+office of TUG President/to the Board by submitting a nomination petition
+in accordance with the TUG Election Procedures. Election ... shall be
+by written mail ballot of the entire membership, carried out in accordance
+with those same Procedures.'' The term of office of the President is
+two (2) years, and of a director, three (3) years. Incumbent officers
+may be nominated for successive terms.
+
+The name of any member may be placed in nomination for election to one
+of these offices by submission of a petition, signed by two other current
+(1994 or 1995) members, to the TUG office at least 30 days prior to the
+mailing of ballots. (A candidate's membership dues for 1995 will be
+expected to be paid by the nomination deadline.) A petition form follows
+this announcement; forms may also be obtained from the TUG office, and
+electronically from the usergrps/tug area of CTAN.
+
+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 February 1, 1995.
+
+Ballots will be mailed to all members early in March. Marked ballots
+must be postmarked no later than May 9, and received no later than
+May 23. These deadlines 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 May, and will be announced in a future issue of this publication
+as well as through various TeX-related electronic lists.

+ --------------------------------
+ Nomination for 1995 TUG Election
+ --------------------------------
+
+Only current (1994 or 1995) TUG members are eligible to participate.
+The signatures of two (2) members are required in addition to that of
+the nominee. Type or print names clearly, exactly as they appear in
+the most recent TUG membership list or on a TUG mailing label; new
+members should enter the name which they used on their membership
+application form. Names that do not exactly match the TUG records will
+not be accepted as valid.
+
+ ---------------
+
+The undersigned TUG members propose the nomination of:
+
+
+
+- ------------------------- ------------------------- ---------------
+ Name of nominee (signature) (date)
+
+for the position of (check one):

+
+Return this petition to the TUG office (FAXed petition forms will be
+accepted). Petitions and all required supplementary material (photograph,
+biography and personal statement for inclusion on the ballot) must be
+received in the TUG office no later than the deadline:
+ February 1, 1995
+It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that this deadline
+is met. Under no circumstances will incomplete applications be accepted.
+A candidate's membership dues for 1995 must also be paid by this deadline.

+Subject: kpathsea 2.5, dvipsk 5.58e, xdvik 18e, dviljk 2.4
+
+New versions of dvipsk/xdvik/dviljk are in the usual place:
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
+ ... and CTAN and its mirrors; see the end of this message.
+Please use the nearest site, to reduce the load on our old Sparc 1.
+
+The biggest change is using Autoconf 2.1 to prepare the configure
+scripts -- who knows what that's broken. Aside from that, it's just
+minor bug fixes.
+
+The patch that John Interrante and others created for web2c 6.1 for the
+previous kpathsea release should basically work for this release, except
+for the configure scripts; you can get that as the file
+web2c.kpathsea-2.4.help from the above sites. (Naturally, I am working
+on the next release of web2c. It will be ready no sooner than a month
+or two from now (and perhaps significantly longer); it's no use to ask
+me precisely when, as I simply do not know.) I hope John (or someone)
+can update the patch soon.
+
+As always, thanks to the many people who contributed. I tried to record
+names in the ChangeLog entries.
+
+Please report bugs to tex-k@cs.umb.edu.
+Email tex-k-request@cs.umb.edu with a line containing

+
+
+Here's the NEWS:
+
+kpathsea 2.5
+* Go back to calling db_insert after a successful MakeTeXPK, and check
+ for lack of an ls-R.
+* Handle case of magstep -.5 for MakeTeXPK properly.
+
+xdvik 18e
+* The SelFile widget masks all but .dvi files by default (thanks to
+ Dinh-Tuan.Pham@imag.fr for implementing this).
+* `G' can change the gamma value dynamically, as well whether grey is used.
+* Crash when starting without a filename fixed (hopefully).
+* `Can't find 300dpi using 300dpi' warning fixed (hopefully).
+* Compile-time default mode removed; back to letting MakeTeXPK guess.
+* Usage message improved for SELFILE case.
+
+dvipsk 5.58e
+* MakeTeXPK once again does umask 0.
+* M[ode] lines in config.$PRINTER override config.ps again (as intended).
+* Compile-time default mode removed; back to letting MakeTeXPK guess.
+* -o option overrides o in config files.
+
+dviljk 2.4
+* Character 32 not downloaded on old printers, to work around an
+ apparent bug in the emulation on a Kyocera.

+Subject: TeXhax/UKTeX merger opinions
+
+Following my note about merging the TeXhax and UKTeX Digests
+(TeXhax V94 #xx, UKTeX V94 #xx), I received 12 responses, all
+in favour of the merger. There were two reservations expressed:
+
+- - frequency of the new TeXhax... weekly was felt by a couple of
+ people to be too often
+- - one person requested that the digest be given a new name
+
+One of the advantages of increased frequency is that questions
+can be answered and announcements made in a more timely fashion.
+This has always been one of the "advantages" of the UKTeX Digest
+which I'd like to carry over into the new, merged digest.
+However, after we've had a few issues, if lots of people feel
+strongly that a weekly digest is hitting their mailbox too often,
+please let me know and we could move to, perhaps, two-weekly issues.
+
+As for names, well, I felt it would be less confusing to keep the
+name of the "elder" publication, which is mentioned in many online
+locations and Internet list-of-lists (e.g., Meckler's "On Internet 94").
+
+If you have any views on any of this, please let me know.
