+Subject: TeX/LaTeX on Windows
+
+Not being a beginner, this is going to sound a bit weird, I suppose, but
+despite having used TeX and LaTeX around here for more than a decade, I've
+never been asked (very much) to put them up on PC platforms, which are in
+little use in this department. However, I've just been asked about running
+LaTeX on a Windows platform, and it occurs to me that I know nothing whatever
+about this.
+
+Starting from scratch then, in an early-1996 Windows environment, where should
+one go to get the ideal TeX/LaTeX setup? I assume there are `commercial'
+solutions (we use Textures on Macintosh already) but I don't know how much
+money might be available, so a price spectrum from zero to lottery-winner is
+appropriate, I think.
+
+Thanks for any suggestions,
+
+Sam.

+
+I think this question is the result of a misunderstanding. LaTeX2e is
+not an `alternative to LaTeX' but rather is just the current version
+of LaTeX. The previous version (2.09) is now obsolete.
+
+Specifically if you should decide to re-install a complete emtex on
+your PC (This is probably a good idea anyway, as emtex was
+significantly re-organised and improved earlier this year) then the
+LaTeX version that you will get by default will be LaTeX2e.
+
+emtex (including LaTeX, and suitable previewers etc) is available from
+ctan sites such as ftp.tex.ac.uk in tex-archive/systems/msdos/emtex.
+You can make a basic installation by following QUICK.ENG (quick
+English instructions) to be found in that directory.

+Subject: latex2e IEEEtran macro wanted.
+
+I found the previous IEEEtran.sty did not work in LaTex2e. Some days ago,
+a person sent me his own new IEEEtran.sty but there are a few problems
+such as that the title of section is always typeset with a small font,
+etc. As a result, I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me where
+a complete IEEEtran macro in latex2e is available.

+Subject: EmTeX printing to Canon BJ200ex printer
+
+I am absolutely a beginner as you can tell.
+I have successfully installed emTex onto my PC and now is the Printer.
+(use under DOS)
+
+I have a Canon BJ200ex printer.
+
+Q1. When the time I use the commands:
+1) latex2e sample2e OKAY (where sample2e is the file name)
+2) v @bj samples2e OKAY
+3) prtbj10e samples2e ===> 6 blank pages
+4) prtbj300 sample2e ==> 6 blank pages
+5) prtp6h samples2e ===> there are some pages print out, which is the
+ original BUT for each line of the orginal
+ document, it comes out twice and into four
+ separate parts.
+
+
+By the way, p6h is not the printer I am using, but every time I used the
+print command, a file for the p6h fonts created under the font directory.
+
+Do you know what is it about?
+And what should I do now?
+What command should I use?
+
+Thanks

+Subject: gtex installation help
+
+I've installed gtex 2.2 (by Young U. Ryu) on a Pentium machine running
+windows 95, but I keep getting two error messages which might be related:
+1) After running \tex\set-tex.bat I get
+ Sharing violation - c:\tex\set-tex.bat
+2) When trying to open a DVI file whose fonts are to be created, I get
+ Cannot find the file ".
+ Make sure that the file exists on your system and that the path
+ and filename are correct.
+
+Does anyone have a suggestion, or at least let me know the email address of
+the author. Many thanks, Joao

+Subject: New problems from a newcomer...
+
+Dear readers,
+ at the very beginning, I have to thank all of you for reading
+my previous post, an trying to give me sensible replies. To summarize,
+the best answer to the bold greek letters is to simply get and run
+amsbsy, that's part of the amslatex distribution. It gives two new
+commands: a \boldsymbol that embolden a char in a font having a
+correspondent bold-face, and a 'ppor men's bold', that overstrikes a
+normal font, emboldening it even if there is not a bold typeface for
+printing it. As I got asmlatex, I got many new useful functions, like
+an extendable arrow symbol for writing limits, and a couple of new
+strange (?bugs?): in the manual, I read that there are a couple of
+operator redefining commands, that should make a log-like operator,
+with eventual _{text} printed at bottom right of the operator, and a
+lim like one, with text printed under the operator. But, in my printed
+version, they look exactly the same, and therefore, something is not
+doing it job. Furthermore, when I latexed the testmath.tex document, I
+got some \i command undefined in math mode, about lines containing a
+\begin or a \end... Are those signs of an incompatible behavior of
+
+a) the latex release of december'95 and amslatex
+b) TeX 3.1415 and the other programs
+c) the test documents, and amslatex (sure enough, I'm joking here!)
+
+Now, I'm crying for help another time: You know, I was writing down
+some lecture notes for a course I attended In march, and I started
+using latex after a disaster with the copy of word on the computer I
+used: the equation editor suddenly decided not to run anymore. Now, I
+have half of my work in Latex, and another half in Word 6 format. Is
+there anybody who does know how to convert the latter? I read, in the
+documentation about programs on ctan, that such a program cannot be
+public domain... But does there exist a commercial program doing the
+job? If it does exist, does some of you own a copy of it, and can be
+so nice to let me send him my document, and convert it for me?
+
+I'll be, as usual, grateful 'till the end of my life to anybody
+helping me. Sincerely,
+
+l.
