+This one is a classic pitfall. There sould be a \relax at the end of the

+or `scaled' which are permissible in a font definition. Because \if
+is expandable, the \if is expanded *before* the font can be assigned, thus

+Subject: Testing if string starts with particular letter or word
+
+We have a database of information about the modules from which students'
+courses are constructed. We typeset a `Catalogue of Modules' by
+`publishing from the database'. I'm wondering about varying the detail
+given in the catalogue depending on whether (1) a module is restricted to a
+particular group of students, or (2) may have spare places.
+
+The database has a text field called `target students'. The `house style'
+is that, in case (1), the text starts with
+ Restricted to students registered for ...
+but, in case (2), the text starts with something else.
+
+Currently the `database to .tex file' software gives a file that starts
+with
+ \usepackage{catalogue}
+and continues with, for each module, commands of the form
+ % Set \TargetStudents to the text from the database field
+ \renewcommand{\TargetStudents}{...}
+ % More \renewcommands for other stuff from the database
+ ...
+ % Typeset the catalogue entry from the information held in
+ % \TargetStudents, etc.
+ \ProcessModule
+
+I'd like to write a package file catalogue.sty (or maybe a class file
+catalogue.cls) that defines a \ProcessModule containing a fragment
+something like
+ \if\beginswith{\TargetStudents}{Restricted}
+ % Text held in \TargetStudents starts with `Restricted'.
+ % We just typeset a skeleton entry in the catalogue.
+ ...
+ \else
+ % Typeset a full entry in the catalogue
+ ...
+ \fi
+where \beginswith is a command that I'm having difficulty finding or
+writing.
+
+Essentially I want something that, when given a string of text as `the
+command' \TargetStudents, tests whether the string starts with a particular
+substring. Although, it would be nice to be able to test whether the
+string starts with `Restricted', it would actually be sufficient to
+test whether it starts with the letter R.
+
+I've tried to use LaTeX's
+ \if@nextchar R
+in catalogue.sty, but I didn't seem able to get it to do what I want.
+(Perhaps the approach could work, but I got the details wrong?)
+
+Can anyone suggest an approach (or code-fragment) that is suitable for this
+situation? E.g., is there any software in CTAN that involves testing
+whether a string held in `a command' starts with a particular letter or
+string? (If there's a fragment of code somewhere, I could presumably
+imitate it.)

+Subject: TeX directory structure (tds) 0.9993 available
+
+Another draft of the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standards document
+is now available from:
+
+ http://www.tug.org/tds/
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds.tar.gz
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds/
+
+If ftp.tug.org is busy, try ftp.cs.umb.edu or tug2.cs.umb.edu. Soon it
+will be on CTAN as well, in the `tds' directory (list of CTAN hosts appended).
+
+The main change from the last released draft (published in TUGboat) is
+to combine the directories for the various whatever-to-pk converters
+(gsftopk, ps2pk, ...) into one directory `modeless', instead of having
+one directory per application. This simplifies search path specifications.
+
+Please send comments to twg-tds@mail.tug.org.

+Subject: web2c 7.0 and friends available
+
+I've released version 7.0 of Web2c, a port of the basic TeX project
+programs (TeX, Metafont, MetaPost, GFtoPK, etc.) to Unix. I've also
+released new versions of my modified drivers (dvipsk, xdvik, dviljk).
+
+You can get it via http://www.tug.org/web2c/, or by ftp from:
+
+ (Boston) ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/web2c/texk.tar.gz (programs)
+ ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/web2c/texmflib.tar.gz (minimal lib)
+
+texk.tar.gz is the combined archive; you can also get them separately:
+{dviljk,dvipsk,web2c,web,xdvik}.tar.gz.
+
+(Also on tug.cs.umb.edu and tug2.cs.umb.edu, same directory;
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu is an old and slow machine.)
+
+Soon they will be available from the CTAN sites and their mirrors:
+
+ (Germany) ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/web2c
+ (England) ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/web2c
+
+See the ftp retrieval instructions below for details and all the mirrors.
+
+Instructions for sending bug reports (and joining the mailing list) are
+in the distribution file kpathsea/BUGS.
+
+I've tried to record the names of all the many people have sent bug
+reports, suggestions, and/or patches in the ChangeLog's. Thank you all.
+I'd also like to thank all the long-suffering pretesters, and three
+people in particular --
+ Thomas Esser, for teTeX and so much else;
+ Ulrik Vieth, for the MetaPost port, doc improvements, and so much else;
+ Wayne Sullivan, for the dynamic memory and so much ...;
+Thanks also to Rick Martin and the UMass/Boston Math & Computer Science
+ Dept. for the computer and network facilities.
+And let's not forget Don Knuth, http://www-cs-faculty.Stanford.EDU/~knuth/,
+ who started it all.
+(Also thanks to Glenn Gould, Jane Siberry, Leonard Cohen, Donald Westlake,
+ Laurie Anderson, ee cummings, Stephen King, Johann Sebastian Bach,
+ and the seals and birds on the not-so-wild shore just outside the house. :-)

+
+
+A summary of the changes follows; big changes are summarized in few words,
+so read carefully. Read the manuals, too. Please.
+
+kpathsea 3.0
+* Distribution terms changed to the GNU Library General Public License.
+* Default directory structure matches the TDS standard. The most
+ important change is in the fonts/ directory: the file type (tfm, pk)
+ is now directly underneath fonts/. Also, mft/ is now at the top level.
+ `modeless' is used for gsftopk/ps2pk/etc.-generated fonts.
+* Change in searching algorithm: if the name already has a suffix
+ (foo.sty), search for it by itself first, before appending the default
+ suffix (foo.sty.tex). This loses if you have an executable named
+ foo.bar, with documentation in foo.bar.tex (foo.bar will be found
+ first). But this is unusual, and the other case is common.
+* Environment variables PATH_program (e.g., TEXINPUTS_latex) checked
+ for, as with configuration file values (TEXINPUTS.latex).
+* Multiple TEXMF trees supported, via the following new facility:
+* Shell brace expansion {foo,bar} implemented, thanks to Bash.
+* Multiple ls-R files supported via the TEXMFDBS path.
+* An ``alias'' database for files in ls-R supported, to handle 8.3 problems.
+* Directories in the ls-R file can be relative (./) as well as absolute (/).
+* New MakeTeX{PK,TFM,MF} scripts with more features, based on teTeX's.
+* DVIPSMAKEPK (etc.) actually overrides the name `MakeTeXPK', as documented.
+* MakeTeX* can be globally disabled via configure options.
+* Support for building as a shared library with configure --enable-shared.
+* Directories whose names begin with `.' are ignored.
+* Some warnings can be suppressed by TEX_HUSH cnf value or envvar.
+* kpsewhich has many new capabilities, documented via --help and in the manual.
+* texfonts.map parsing has an include directive, and @c is a comment.
+* Input lines in texmf.cnf can be continued with \.
+* TEXMFLOG can be set in texmf.cnf, as previously documented.
+* SELFAUTODIR and SELFAUTOPARENT are defined according to the location
+ of the binary, and used to search for texmf.cnf.
+* /// (or more) is equivalent to //.
+* If $HOME = / (as with root on some systems), avoid creating // in paths.
+* Support for AFM, PostScript Type 1 font, source, documentation, Omega,
+ and MetaPost-related file formats.
+* New header kpathsea.h with all #include files.
+* Under DOS, ls-R lines need not start with . or / or \ (e.g., c:).
+* Amiga support.
+
+web2c 7.0
+* Update from Knuth for tex, mf, dvitype, pltotf, vptovf, and tangle,
+ John Hobby's MetaPost (and support programs) included,
+ update from P. Breitenlohner to dvicopy 1.5 and patgen 2.3.
+* Update for kpathsea 3.0.
+* Texinfo manual written.
+* Amiga, OS/2, Windows NT support in the sources.
+* TeX:
+ - if -shell-escape or shell_escape in texmf.cnf is enabled,
+ \write18{str} passes str to system(3) for processing by sh.
+ - MLTeX extensions (\charsubdef, etc.) can be enabled at runtime.
+ - Many array sizes can be set dynamically, in texmf.cnf.
+ - MakeTeXTFM installed and enabled by default.
+ - IPC communications to an external program for incremental DVI reading.
+ - texfonts.map applies to TFM files, as originally intended.
+ - More than 256 fonts are allowed.
+ - DVI comment (with timestamp) can be overridden.
+ - tex.web's consistency checks on .fmt files restored.
+* Metafont:
+ - A few array sizes can be set dynamically, in texmf.cnf.
+ - X11 support disabled by default; configure --with-x to enable it.
+ - MakeTeXMF enabled and installed by default.
+* TeX, Metafont, MetaPost:
+ - If the first line of the main input file starts with %&, the rest of
+ the line is used as the fmt/base/mem file (if it can be found),
+ except that %&ini means initex/inimf/inimpost.
+ - One binary: initex/mf/mpost capabilities merged with virtex/mf/mpost.
+ - New option -progname sets program name independently of argv[0].
+ - Eight-bit filenames are output correctly in ^^ notation, instead of
+ always being simplified to ^^@.
+ - MakeTeX* scripts can be named and disabled via texmf.cnf.
+ - MakeTeX* scripts are silent if \batchmode is in effect.
+ - TEXMFINI environment variable checked for pool/fmt/base/mem lookups.
+ - \openout (TeX) and write (MP) by default will not write to files
+ whose names start with `.'.
+ - ``Small'' versions no longer supported without source hacking.
+ - Length bug regarding single non-ASCII characters in MF and MP fixed.
+* BibTeX:
+ - Some arrays dynamically reallocated as needed, other sizes increased.
+ - Default behavior is verbose; new -terse option changes that.
+ - Statistics are written to the .blg file.
+ - Does not look at TEXINPUTS to find .bst files, but does check
+ TEXBIB (after BIBINPUTS).
+ - Does not interactively ask for the top-level .aux name.
+* All programs:
+ - Supply default extensions and default output files.
+ - Support the standard --help and --version options.
+ - Filenames not arbitrarily restricted in length.
+ - Output written in the current directory, not the directory of
+ an input file. (Most interesting for tangle.)
+ - Times-Roman etc. work as font names, via texfonts.map and subsidiaries.
+* dvitype prints decimal opcode numbers with --show-opcodes.
+* bibtex and gftodvi never interactively ask for filenames;
+ dvitype and dvicopy do not enter interactive dialogues.
+* mft looks in MFTINPUTS, not TEXINPUTS.
+* Configuration:
+ - Optional features are enabled via configure --with-* and --enable-*
+ options. Run configure --help.
+ - There is no small TeX, Metafont, or MetaPost. If you want it, you'll
+ have to change the change files, #define SMALL* yourself, and do
+ whatever else is necessary yourself.
+* Source hierarchy substantially simplified.
+* Web2c:
+ - Support for ifndef...endifn, a la ifdef.
+ - Support for const expressions.
+ - Can generate ANSI code.
+
+dvipsk 5.66a
+* Update for kpathsea 3.0 and dvips 5.66.
+* No default config.ps is installed.
+* Partial downloading of Type 1 fonts supported via -j (j in config file).
+* Compressed headers and figures (names ending in .Z or .gz) are
+ automatically uncompressed.
+* Fonts and macros now distributed separately on CTAN.
+* dvihps merged in, i.e., hyperdvi html: specials supported.
+* Manual restructured and new text regarding PostScript fonts added.
+* .dvipsrc is looked for along a path, and the DVIPSRC value overrides.
+* -Pfoo does not require config.foo; and if in fact config.foo doesn't exist,
+ the default output is to | lpr -Pfoo.
+* -o - outputs to standard output.
+* -E does not require single-page input documents.
+* -d -1 does not include the size of every memory allocation;
+ new information about dvips config file reading is included.
+* W messages from config.ps are omitted if -q is specified.
+* -E turns off -N and -K.
+* Improve checksums and ligkern table output in Afm2tfm.
+* Small improvements to epsf.tex.
+
+xdvik 20a
+* Update for kpathsea 3.0.
+* xhdvi merged in, i.e., hyperdvi html: specials supported via libwww.
+* gsftopkk included.
+* Adjustable rulers on magnifiers, and grids on the whole page.
+* Many function keys supported.
+* Online help via H/Help/etc. while the program is running.
+* Shrink button factors determined at runtime.
+* Exit with bad status via Abort button, Q keystroke.
+* Update for xdvi patchlevel 20 and gsftopk 1.12, implying the following:
+* X resource name for the Metafont mode now `mfMode'.
+* MakeTeXPK option/resource now `makepk'.
+* Compressed (.Z or .gz) header and figure files automatically uncompressed,
+ and shell escape specials ("`...) turned off by default.
+* Decompression does not happen with -nopostscript, etc.
+* New options -safer, -interpreter, -nogssafer, -gspalette.
+
+dviljk 2.6
+* Update for kpathsea 3.0.
+* Update for dvi2xx 0.51-13.
+* dvihp script handles options a la dvips, and is installed by default.

+* More useful debugging output.
+* Bug in page-skipping fixed.
+* But in printing character 0 fixed.
+* Fonts rearranged per TDS, and `q' changed to `8t'.

+
+Long-winded instructions:
+
+`unixtex.ftp': Obtaining TeX
+============================
+
+ This is `ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/unixtex.ftp', last updated 7 February
+1997. Also available as `http://www.tug.org/unixtex.ftp'. The IP
+address is currently [158.121.106.10], and the canonical host name is
+currently `tug.cs.umb.edu'. It is also in Kpathsea source
+distributions as `etc/unixtex.ftp' (although the network version is
+usually newer). Mail <kb@mail.tug.org> with comments or questions.
+
+ Following are general instructions for Unix or other sites who wish to
+acquire the Web2c distribution, (plain) TeX, LaTeX (2e), BibTeX,
+Metafont, MetaPost, DVI processors for the X window system, PostScript,
+the PCL language in the HP LaserJet, and related programs. They are
+oriented towards building from the original sources, though some
+information on alternative packages is included in the last section.
+See also `http://www.tug.org/web2c', the Web2c and Kpathsea home page.
+
+ Please consider joining the TeX Users Group (TUG) to help support the
+maintenance and development of the programs you retrieve. Email
+<tug@tug.org> or see `http://www.tug.org' for information and a
+membership form.
+
+ For actual installation instructions after obtaining the necessary
+sources, *note Installation::.. A copy is in the distribution file
+`kpathsea/INSTALL'.
+
+Electronic distribution
+- -----------------------
+
+ In many places we refer to CTAN:. This is *both* a host name and a
+directory name. Here are some primary locations:
+
+ `ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/tex/ctan' (California, USA)
+ `ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive' (Germany)
+ `ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive' (England)
+
+CTAN has many mirrors worldwide; see the top-level file
+`README.mirrors' from one of the sites above, or finger
+<ctan@ftp.tug.org>, or see `http://www.tug.org/CTAN.sites'. A list
+current as of the time of distribution is in the top-level file
+`./MIRROR'.
+
+ You can also access CTAN via the World Wide Web, Gopher, electronic
+mail, or NFS. The same `README.mirrors' file explains how.
+
+ You will need to retrieve some or all of the following archives,
+depending on your needs (don't forget to set binary mode for file
+transfers):
+
+`CTAN:/systems/web2c/texmflib.tar.gz'
+ A basic collection of fonts (TFM files only) and macro packages
+ (including Texinfo and LaTeX 2e). It unpacks into `texmf/'; if
+ you change the structure of this hierarchy, you will also have to
+ change the default search paths (*note Changing search paths::.).
+ It is required unless you already have these files, in which case
+ you should change the default paths as necessary to find them.
+
+`CTAN:/systems/web2c/web.tar.gz'
+ The original WEB source files, written mostly by Don Knuth.
+ Required unless you already have this `web' version. (The WEB
+ sources change irregularly with respect to Web2c itself.) Unpacks
+ into `web2c-VERSION'.
+
+`CTAN:/systems/web2c/web2c.tar.gz'
+ The Web2c system. Required. Also unpacks into `web2c-VERSION'.
+
+`CTAN:/dviware/dvipsk.tar.gz'
+ DVI-to-PostScript translator. Unpacks into `dvipsk-VERSION'.
+ Optional.
+
+`CTAN:/dviware/xdvik.tar.gz'
+ X window system DVI previewer. Unpacks into `xdvik-VERSION'.
+ Optional.
+
+`CTAN:/dviware/dviljk.tar.gz'
+ DVI-to-PCL (HP LaserJet) translator. Unpacks into
+ `dviljk-VERSION'. Optional.
+
+ All that said, the originating host for the software above is
+`ftp.tug.org'. You can retrieve these distributions (but not much
+else) from the `tex/' directory on that host.
+
+CD-ROM distribution
+- -------------------
+
+ Numerous organizations distribute various TeX CD-ROM's:
+
+ * TUG, UK TUG, and GUTenberg (French-speaking TeX user group)
+ collaborated to produce the `TeX Live' CD-ROM, based on teTeX,
+ which in turn is based on Web2c; email <tex-live@mail.tug.org> or
+ see `http://www.tug.org/tex-live.html'.
+
+ * NTG (Dutch-speaking TeX user group) produced the 4allTeX CD-ROM;
+ email <ntg@nic.surfnet.nl>, or see
+ `http://ei0.ei.ele.tue.nl/ntg/'. This is a runnable system.
+
+ * The Free Software Foundation's `Source Code CD-ROM' contains the
+ minimal TeX source distribution described in the previous section
+ (i.e., enough to print GNU documentation); email
+ <gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu> or finger <fsf@prep.ai.mit.edu>.
+
+ * The Gateway! CD-ROM set contains a runnable NetBSD/Amiga
+ distribution and sources; see
+ `http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/cdroms.html'.
+
+ * The Prime Time TeXcetera CD-ROM is a copy of CTAN (see the previous
+ section); email <ptf@ctcl.com> or see `http://www.ptf.com/ptf/'.
+
+ * Walnut Creek's TeX CD-ROM is also a copy of CTAN; email
+ <info@cdrom.com> or see `http://www.cdrom.com:/titles/tex.html'.
+
+ * Most Linux distributions include some TeX package based on Web2c;
+ see the Linux documentation file `Distribution-HOWTO' for a
+ comparison of Linux distributions, available (for example) via
+ `http://www.linux.org'.
+
+ If you know of additional TeX CD-ROM distributions to add to this
+list, please inform <kb@mail.tug.org>.
+
+Tape distribution
+- -----------------
+
+ You can obtain a complete TeX distribution, including Web2c, on tape.
+Contact:
+ Pierre MacKay / Denny Hall, Mail Stop DH-10 / Department of Classics
+ University of Washington / Seattle, WA 98195 / USA
+ phone: 206-543-2268; email: <unixtex@u.washington.edu>
+
+ At this writing, the distribution is available in `tar' format on 1/4
+inch 4-track QIC-24 cartridges and 4mm DAT cartridges, and the cost is
+US$210. Make checks payable to the University of Washington, drawn on
+a U.S. bank. Purchase orders are acceptable, but they carry an extra
+charge of $10 to pay for invoice processing. Overseas sites, please
+add $20 for shipment via air parcel post, or $30 for shipment via
+courier.
+
+Other TeX packages
+- ------------------
+
+ Many other TeX implementations are available in `CTAN:/systems',
+including ready-to-run distributions for Unix, Amiga, Acorn, VMS,
+Macintosh, DOS, and Windows (in various forms). Although Web2c has
+support in the source code for many operating systems, and in fact some
+of the other distributions are based on it, it's unlikely to work as
+distributed on anything but Unix. (Please contribute improvements!)
+
+ The Unix distribution alluded to above is the teTeX distribution.
+This includes both complete sources and precompiled binaries for many
+popular Unix variants, including Linux. It is based on Web2c, and
+contains many other TeX-related programs as well.
+
+ The host labrea.stanford.edu is the original source for the files for
+which Donald Knuth is directly responsible: `tex.web', `plain.tex',
+etc. However, unless you want to build your TeX library tree ab initio,
+it is more reliable and less work to retrieve these files as part of
+the above packages. In any case, labrea is not the canonical source for
+anything except what was created by Stanford TeX project, so do not
+rely on all the files available at that ftp site being up-to-date.

+Dear Moderator,
+
+I am afraid telling you for completeness that TeXhax Digest V96
+#14 and #15 is missing on the CTAN archives.
+
+As I am subscribed to the TeXhax mailing list I noted, that
+TeXhax Digest V96 #14 is also missing from circulation.
+
+Could you please kindly remail me an #14 issue? Or better find
+someone who can update the CTAN archive?

+ Dear (Greek or non-Greek) Fellow TeX Users,
+
+ It is our pleasure to be able to announce th formation of
+$\varepsilon\varphi\tau$ --- The Greek TeX Friends Group. This LUG is
+commited to the promotion of Greek language TeX typesetting in Greece
+and abroad. Moreover, the Group is commited to the enhancement and
+adaptation of the TeX family of tools to Greek and the development
+of new tools (in particular, Omega) that will facilitate the creation
+of documents written in the Greek language (ancient or modern). It is
+also our intention to work on the study and the preservation of the
+values of traditional Greek typography in the digital era.
+
+ Anobody above 18 years of age and agreing to comply to all articles
+of the bylaws of $\varepsilon\varphi\tau$, can be a member of the Group.
+Any person willing to become member must hand a written application to
+the president of the Group, in which it must be clearly stated that he
+or she wants to become a member and that he or she fulfills the admission
+requirements. Furthermore, the application must include the applicant's
+name and surname, address, phone number and/or e-mail address. Admitted
+applicants must pay a registration fee: GRD 5,000 (about USD 20). All
+members pay a subscription fee every six months, currently fixed to
+GRD 3,000 (USD 12). To obtain information on payment, please write to
+the president or the treasurer of the Group.
+
+ The Group currently has plans to publish a newsletter ---initially
+only in electronic form (PDF and HTML)--- and a LaTeX manual (both in
+Greek); also it plans to contribute in the maintenance of Greek babel
+and the release of Greek TeX/Omega fonts.

+Dear texhax:

+LaTeX2e <1996/06/01>
+Class Book 1996/05/26 v 1.3r

+command. I looked in the chapter for a \\ or a \newline (which I never
+use), which is recommended for debugging this error, and did not find
+either. I must say, that I have modified the *style* parameter in
+@subsection of book.cls with a \centering command, removed it, and this did
+not prevent the error message from occurring.

+
+The American Mathematical Society is pleased to announce the public release
+of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts in Adobe Type 1 format. The
+READ.ME file that accompanies this release appears below. We call your
+attention to the second full paragraph of the READ.ME file which discusses
+the AMS copyright associated with this release. We hope that this
+explanation will set aside any possible confusion regarding the intent of
+the AMS copyright with respect to these fonts.

+
+Computer Modern PostScript Fonts
+(Adobe Type 1 format)
+
+- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern fonts produced by
+and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely
+available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation
+of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y.
+Members of this consortium include:
+
+ Elsevier Science
+ IBM Corporation
+ Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
+ Springer-Verlag
+ American Mathematical Society (AMS)
+
+In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held
+by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any
+way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic
+distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts
+into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer
+applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or
+faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be
+removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in
+any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer
+Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces,
+has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be
+given a different name.
+
+The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance
+beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation
+and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this
+READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking an installation.
+
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+History
+
+The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988
+by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord,
+Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial
+implementations of the TeX program.
+
+Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated
+character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian
+Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of
+Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y
+(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font
+engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and
+Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's
+changes to the greek delta and arrow characters.
+
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Font Distributions
+
+The canonical version of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts is located on
+the AMS FTP server, e-math.ams.org, at /pub/tex/cmfonts/ps. This area is
+also mirrored on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) at
+fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky.
+
+The following three files are in this directory for you to download:
+
+cmps-macintosh.hqx for use on a Macintosh, contains fonts in standard
+ Macintosh Type 1 format
+cmps-pc.zip for use on a Windows or DOS system, contains fonts
+ in PFB format with PFM metrics files
+cmps-unix.tar.gz for use on a Unix system, contains fonts in
+ PFB format with AFM metrics files
+
+Each distribution includes a READ.ME file which contains instructions
+for installing the fonts. Please review the READ.ME file in its entirety
+before undertaking to install the fonts on your system.

+Subject: Directory searching by TeX
+
+Hellow Tex Hackers,
+
+Is there any way to tell "Tex" to search a current directory.
+Thing is that when I run our "Tex" program (through Latex),
+it did not search files in the current directory.
+ -------- --------
+So, I have to tell Tex all the complete path for the input files,
+and there is a serious problem when "Tex" look for "AUX" file for the cross
+reference,
+because it could not find it even if the file was in the current directory
+after the previous run.
+
+It might be a flaw of our"Tex" program.
+Perhaps, when it was created, search paths were passed on it,
+but the current directory was omitted.
+Is there any quick fix, or I have to install brand new Tex program ?
+
+Thank you.

+Dear TeXhax,
+This may be common knowledge but not, I'm afraid, to me.
+Is there a cls file or a package which enables one to generate a document
+in which the pages are two columns over the whole document but the
+contents of the two columns are basically two different source files?
+I am thinking of, for example, a document and its translation to another
+language or a document and a running commentry printed alongside and "in
+step" with each other. The existing multicolumn methods are basically for
+re-formatting a single continuous whole and I guess could be made to do
+what I want but it would be tremendously inconvenient keeping things in
+step.

+
+ I would like to be able to write to a file within LateX2e, and can see
+ nothing about this in the LaTeX Companion. I would prefer not to have
+ to revert to the plain TeX commands \write and \shipout unless
+ necessary.
+
+ In particular, I'm writing macros for a problem sheet, and would like

+ \begin{question}
+ What is the capital of UK?

+
+ \begin{question}
+ What is the capital of Republic of Ireland?
+ \end{question}
+ \begin{solution}
+ Dublin
+ \end{solution}
+
+ etc.
+
+ Certain counters are incremented by the question environment, and I'd
+ like to format the solution using these values before moving on the
+ next question, but not print it there. One way to do this would be to
+ get the solution environment within test.tex to write to another file
+ solution.tex or test.sol, and run LaTeX on this automatically produced
+ file; or just to have the solutions written to the auxiliary file,
+ like references, and cite them all at the end of document. Any

+ would be much appreciated.

+
+ --------------------
+
+ Notice regarding 1997 TeX Users Group election
+
+The 1997 election for the TeX Users Group Board of Directors has
+now ended. Since there were fewer nominated candidates than vacant
+positions, in accordance with the Election Procedures, the candidates
+who did submit nomination papers are declared elected. No ballots
+will be circulated.
+
+The open positions, as announced, were President and six members
+of the Board of Directors.
+
+The following individuals will be taking positions on the Board
+of Directors for 4-year terms ending in 2001:
+
+ Donna Burnette
+ Mimi Jett
+ Patricia Monohon
+ Arthur Ogawa
+ Petr Sojka
+
+In the absence of a ballot, the statements of candidacy which would
+have appeared there will be published instead in TUGboat 18#1.
+
+Four Board members whose terms were due to end in 1998 had agreed
+that they would be willing for their terms to be extended to 1999
+to accommodate a change in the election schedule from annually to
+every two years (see the election announcement, TUGboat 17#3, p.240).
+Had there been a ballot, their names would have been listed there
+for confirmation by the membership. However, in the absence of a
+ballot, it is proposed that, in accordance with the Bylaws (Article
+VII, Section 10), the incoming President confirm the extension
+of their terms. These Board members are:
+
+ Barbara Beeton
+ Karl Berry
+ Judy Johnson
+ Jiri Zlatuska
+
+There is no candidate for TUG President. This poses a problem.
+Although the Bylaws and Election Procedures provide for the filling
+of vacant Board positions by appointment, no provision exists for
+the absence of a candidate for President. There is not sufficient
+time left before the annual meeting in July to solicit additional
+candidates and circulate ballots.
+
+In order to ensure that the necessary decisions are arrived at in
+a democratic manner, and that the incoming Board has some say in
+the matters which will affect them most directly, Michel Goossens,
+the outgoing President, has appointed the new members to the Board
+for a temporary period effective immediately, to expire when their
+regular term begins.
+
+It is proposed that individuals wishing to present themselves as
+candidates for President do so in the following manner, with the
+election be held during the annual TUG business meeting which will
+take place during the TUG annual meeting in San Francisco
+(July 28 - August 1).
+
+Any TUG member in good standing who will be present at the annual
+business meeting may submit a valid nomination form and supporting
+statement (see the announcement in TUGboat 17#3 or the TUG Web pages,
+http://www.tug.org) no later than Monday, July 28 (the first day
+of the meeting), and be prepared to present his/her program at the
+business meeting, (currently scheduled for Thursday, July 31).
+
+(All TUG members are reminded that except for certain transactions
+such as personnel matters, which legally are privileged, Board
+meetings are open to members as observers.) The Board meeting is
+scheduled to be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27, at the main
+meeting site; room details will be posted when available. Candidates
+for President are encouraged to attend.
+
+Nomination forms and supporting documentation should be submitted to
+the Elections Committee by one of two methods: (1) by July 15, sent
+to the address below rather than to the address given in the TUGboat
+announcement, or (2) July 26-28, brought to the meeting and delivered
+in person to one of the undersigned committee members. If sending
+forms by mail or fax, please confirm this to the Committee at the
+email address below; electronic copies of candidates' statements
+may also be sent to this address any time before the meeting.
+
+In order for this business to be transacted legally, at least 50 TUG
+members must be present to form a quorum (Bylaws, Article III, Section 6).
+It is therefore very important for members to attend this meeting, in order
+to help define the future of our organization.

+Subject: multi-page tables/arrays
+
+Dear TeXperts,
+
+I have 140 tables/arrays (I am willing to use either), of varying
+sizes, from 1/6 of a page to 4 or 5 pages in length, in a document I am
+producing. I would like them to appear one after another with only a
+small break between them. The behavior of the array and table
+environments makes this difficult, however.
+
+I need an array-like environment which would split the array across
+pages as necessary, and would preferably add a note saying "continued"
+at the bottom and a header labelling the array at the top of each
+continuation page.
+
+The array environment (and table also) insists on putting the entire
+array on one page. I have manually inserted the end array- begin array
+commands to break it, but this is tedious and doesn't produce optimal
+results.
+
+I could use tabbing, but would not get the headers or the "continued"
+notes (except with manual insertion of them).
+
+I am using AMSLaTeX, and would be willing to switch to
+LaTeX or LaTeX2e to solve this. Learning plain TeX or AMSTex to
+do this would take longer, but if that's what it takes, so be it.

+Subject: passing a parameter to latex
+
+Hello,
+
+I have recently converted from amstex to latex2e. I work on a UNIX
+system. I have a question. I would like to selectively load a package
+depending on a parameter that I pass on the command line. This seems to
+work:
+
+\documentclass{article}
+\iffoo \usepackage{xyzpackage} \fi
+\begin{document}
+
+and then the command line:
+ latex '\newif\iffoo \foofalse \input testfile'
+will run the file and will cause the package not to be loaded.
+
+This is only slightly unaesthetic, since I have to define the switch as
+well as set it on the command line. A better solution would be to
+create my own format file containing the switch. However I have been
+unsuccessful at creating a format built on top of latex2e. (I tried the

+Subject: Re: Two Columns for two "documents"
+
+This is a response to a query in TeXHax. 18 April 1997
+Dear TeXhax,
+David Cook (D.Cook@sheffield.ac.uk) asks:
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Is there a cls file or a package which enables one to generate a document
+in which the pages are two columns over the whole document but the
+contents of the two columns are basically two different source files?
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Briefly, the answer to this question is no, and for reasons connected
+to the architecture of TeX (the program) and LaTeX. It is not
+possible, with \input, to read a bit from one file and then a bit
+from another, alternately. This is the way things are.
+
+It is possible, with \read, to alternate between two (or more) files,
+but this would have the side-effect of rendering dysfunctional all
+macros that depend on changing of \catcode's.
+
+My advice is to use some external program or utility to weave
+together the two different source files, and then use this new file
+as the input to TeX (or LaTeX).
+
+He also writes:
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+The existing multicolumn methods are basically for re-formatting a
+single continuous whole and I guess could be made to do what I want
+but it would be tremendously inconvenient keeping things in step.
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Suppose that the \input problem has been solved. Forming the two
+files into two separate galleys should not be very difficult, but
+deciding on page breaks will be hard. Here is one way to do this.
+First set each file by itself, at the column measure. Print out the
+results, and compare. On the basis of this, decide where the page
+breaks should be. Now use \vadjust or the like to force these page
+breaks (say in conjunction with \vsplit) in the source file, and use
+a custom output routine to assemble the pages up. Whatever algorithm
+one uses, one will probably have to resort to such hand tuning to get
+a decent result. So let that be the first `algorithm'.
+
+I'm sorry that there is probably not a LaTeX package for doing this,
+so far as I know. It would probably take a wizard to write one.
+
+sincerely

+Subject: Hanging punctuation
+
+For TeXperts only!
+
+In appendix D from the TeXbook, p. 394, DEK
+gives some macros in order to get TeX typesetting
+with hanging punctuation. With some minor modifications
+and inclusions (given in the end of this mail),
+these macros work fine with LaTeX2e,
+except for the hyphen! According to DEK, you shoud
+have a special font with a zero width \hyphenchar
+and that is not the case with the font I use (Stempel Garamond).
+
+Well, with the macro \hyphdisc
+
+\newdimen\hyphenhang
+\setbox0=\hbox{-}
+\hyphenhang=\wd0
+
+\def\hyphdisc{\ifhmode\allowhyphens%
+\discretionary{-\kern-2\hyphenhang\kern\hyphenhang}%
+{}{}\allowhyphens\fi}
+
+I can get hanging hyphens, but I must introduce them
+where they appear after a first LaTeX running
+via the macro \hyphdisc .
+
+So, for example
+
+blablabla\hyphdisc blablabla blablabla
+
+gives
+
+blablabla-
+blablabla
+blablabla
+
+My question is: is there any way to assign the macro
+\hyphdisc to the \defaulthyphenchar ??

+Subject: Re: Spell Checker for Windows Users who TeX
+
+Hello,
+
+I am an experienced TeXer who uses plain TeX via the commercial YandY TeX
+package. There must be a lot of TeX users who face the same problems as I
+and whose productivity would be enhansed if they could be solved
+efficiently.
+
+I was browsing through your Web Site and got to a page on spell checkers,
+where I found recommendations on spell checkers for people using UNIX,
+Macintoish,DOS, and even VMS. But I, like 90% of the PC users and most
+TeXers, use Windows 95. What recommendations do you have for spell
+checkers that work well in a Windows 95 enviornment.
+
+While we are on the topic of programs to use with TeX, what is there for
+footnotes. I now use a combersome big macro called Eplain, that has it
+origins in Gnu. I only use the footnote part of that macro. It gives
+me easy control over footnotes, e.g., I can control the vertical space
+between
+sucessive footnotes on the same page. But it always puts a little extra
+baselineskip just above the last line of each footnote. Six years ago, I
+spent many hours trying to write my own footnote little macro, by modifying
+the original TeX instruction for \footnote, but could never get it to run.
+
+I use Microsoft Word and its spell checker to prepare ASCII TeX files, but
+have found no way to get it to avoid leading \ characters. I
+would actually prefer for a spell checker to recognize and remember lead \
+characters so I could detect errors in TeX commands, via-a-via an
+accumulated dictionary of TeX commands. But Word and most editos do not
+store \.
+
+I would gladly switch to a good quality simple ASCII text editor or another
+word processor, if I could find one that worked well with a good spell
+checker. I tried Epsilon and found it to be very cumbersome and
+inappropriate. It is optimal only for programmers with near repititions of
+large code sections. It requires far to many key strokes and attention per
+page to type a TeX file. I would like to be able to control the size and
+style of font in the edit window of the text editor, so I can take
+advantage of my 1600X1200-pixel 21-inch monitor. Word does at least that.
+
+I use PicTeX alot and am very frustrated that I cannot rotate text so that
+it can follow a slanted line or a curve. I may have to draw my diagrams in
+Adobe Illustrator and then use encapulated postscript to insert TeX text
+along lines or curves. Unfortunately that is a lot of work and requires me
+to become adept a Adobe Illustrator, which is like getting married. Is
+there a TeX Cad program that will allow me to draw functions and place
+labels along the functions. About five years ago, I tried a TeX CAD macro
+and found it far too primitive. As I recall it came with EM TeX.tug.
+
+I downloaded pSTricks and found I could not TeX any of its files. It has @
+characters where I am used to seeing \ charaters. The signal not to try
+to use it came form the note that only the part of the manual pertaining to
+the latest change was included, and that one need ot get all the manuals of
+previuous version to have a complete manual. That is a scarry to invite
+thousands of to search for the same set of manuals instead of one person, who
+knows far better where they all are, manking them available for downloading.
+I had a nice talk with the author of TeXDraw and found that macro to be a
+great package oriented to Unix rather than Windows 95.
+
+ Cheers,
+ Jaime

+Subject: TeX Graphic Package?
+
+Greetings To Tex UK,
+I have just started to use Tex (in it's standard form) ver 3.141. I am
+endeavouring to produce fairly complex standard documents(tax forms,
+governmental forms etc).
+
+My question: I am trying to produce fairly exact
+documents. As a beginner ( and someone who has spent most
+of my adult life in the world of windows) I find TeX difficult to use. Are there
+Graphics packages (with a GUI) which produce TeX code? Which ones would you
+recommend, and how can I get them quickly (help). Our operating system is SUN OS
+5.4 generic sun4m. and we currently using TeX 3.141.
+
+A second question: We are also trying to run TeX on a Sequent system(DYNIX 4.0
+V4.1.2 i386). We are encountering problems compiling the TeX code. Is there a
+pre-compiled executable available somewhere which runs under this system?

+Could somebody explain (or only suggest) to me how to get the following
+"boxed and displayed formula" (I need it to have in book) or may be
+there is some macro (LaTeX2e) which does it or may be somebody could send me
+some private macro:
+ _____________________________________________

+
+I would like to have the box horizontal and vertical centered
+and automatically numbered.
+I would prefer to have it in LaTeX2e (AMSLaTeX)
+
+It was told to use minipage environment so

+\def\boxeq#1{\vcenter{\hrule\hbox{\vrule\vbox{\kern 8 pt
+\hbox{$\kern 3,5 pt\displaystyle #1\kern 3,5 pt$}\kern 8 pt}\vrule}\hrule}
+.
+
+Usage: $$\boxeq{formula}$$. To get equation numbers you'll have to use
+your way. I have my own macros for numbering. It works well for me;
+numbers appear outside the box.
+
+If I understand your drawing correctly, you want numbers on the left
+and outside of the box. I don't like this. You can use \eqalignno
+inside the box, but the box will include the numbers, which is ugly
+but logical.

+Subject: greek packages
+
+he Ibycus4 package (the name is a intended as a tribute to David
+Packard's Ibycus system, but this package has no connection with
+any work done by the Packard Humanities Institute) is available
+on osman.classics.washington.edu
+[128.95.170.63] in ~ftp/pub/tex, in 4 forms.
+
+1. iby4str is a streamed SVR4 (Solaris) package, ready for installation
+
+2, iby4str.gz is the same thing gzipped. There doesn't seem to be any
+way to zcat such a file and pipe it into pkgadd. gunzip has to
+be used as a separate operation/
+
+3. ibycus4.tar.gz is a SVR4 (Solaris) package in spool directory format
+if untarred into the directory /var/spool/pkg it is ready for pkgadd
+
+4. ibycus4.zip is for non-Unix sites. It includes all the genuine files
+of Ibycus4 in an 8+3 TDS-conformant style, but not the symbolic links
+that make life pleasanter in the Unix world.
+
+There are also 4 similarly organized files of the Silvio Levy's sources
+levystr levystr.gz levygrk.tar.gz levygrk.zip
+These contain the unaltered files collected from a CTAN archive in 1994
+reorganized into a TDS-conformant package.
+
+Further on Ibycus4
+
+Changes in setwidths have been made, so spacing will be a bit different
+(and better, I hope). Some small improvements in input coding are
+made (the 4 distinguishes the new input coding from the old 3 coding).
+For other details see the README file.
+
+Here is the relevant extract from the README file. Ibycus3 is what
+was previously known as ibygrk.
+
+ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+ NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CODINGS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IBYCUS3
+ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+ I have tried to keep incompatible codings to the minimum
+ but the ibycus3 versions of the following were extremely
+ undesirable. These are all simplifications of ibycus3 coding.
+ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+ The mark of elision is ' or {'} (the form in braces may be
+ needed to prevent ' from being read as an accent).
+ Single quotes may be provided by ` {`} and ' {'}, (isolate them
+ in braces if necessary). Double quotes are `` {``} and
+ '' {''} (isolate in braces if necessary). < and > are the
+ angle brackets used for conjectural supplements.

+The prefix in Karl Berry's font-naming scheme is "fib". The full

+Subject: Making (La)TeX beep
+
+Dear all,
+
+A small and seemingly simple question, how does one make (La)TeX
+beep (ie exude a BEL control code)? I'm currently writing a special
+warning (for a \todo command) that will write to screen what I want
+to do, and beep to make sure it gets noticed (in much the same way a
+LaTeX error does, but without stopping processing). I can do the
+screenwriting, but for the life of me I can't find the code that
+makes the think beep anywhere in the source! And if I try the method
+suggested in the TeXbook all I end up doing is writing variations of
+'007 to the screen...
+
+Any help or working code fragments that anyone could provice would be
+gratefully accepted, cos it's driving me nuts!
+
+Cheers in advance
+
+Darren

+Subject: Announcing gsftopk 1.14
+
+This is to announce that version 1.14 of gsftopk is available. gsftopk is
+a utility that calls Ghostscript to render PostScript fonts, and then converts
+them into pk format. This allows you to view PostScript fonts in xdvi.
+
+In addition to various bug fixes, this version:
+
+ 1. Prints out the version of ghostscript being used along with its own
+ version number.
+
+ 2. Is ported to Windows 95/NT (courtesy of Fabrice Popineau).
+
+ 3. Make some changes to the PostScript environment to accommodate
+ dotlessj.pro
+
+ 4. Allow psfonts.map lines with several ``specinfo'' strings, such as
+
+ ptmr8r Times-Roman ".167 SlantFont" "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont"
+
+The upgraded version is available from CTAN in the file:
+
+ tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.14.tar.gz
+
+Recall that CTAN is one of the following hosts:
+
+ tug2.cs.umb.edu
+ ftp.dante.de
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk
+
+or one of their numerous mirror sites.

+Subject: tableofcontents and index problem in AMSLaTeX
+
+Dear La(TeX) users,
+
+I use AMSLaTeX (\documentclass[11pt]{amsbook}) and have problem with
+** tableofcontents **. I mean:
+- - there is no hyphenation when the titles of chapters or (sub)section
+ are long. e.g.:
+
+ CONTENTS
+ ....
+ 3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spherical cavity,
+ in a solid sphere and in a shell 30
+
+but there should be
+
+ 3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spheri-
+ cal cavity, in a solid sphere and in a shell.................. 30
+
+** Similar things happen when try to generate index **
+
+- - there is no the "dots" like below
+ 3.2.1 Some title .................................................... 20
+
+I have
+
+ 3.2.1 Some title 20
+
+instead.
+
+Could someone suggest what is going on ?
+
+When I use the 'book' class instead 'amsbook' the tableofcontents
+and 'index' are nice but I would
+prefer to use amsbook.
+
+If would be so kind please send the answer to 'krupa@alpha.sggw.waw.pl'
+because I have often trouble to access to the news so I could miss the
+answer.

+Subject: Getting the Index to Work - No Flames Please
+
+This is probably a stupid question. But I am a Tex person trying to learn
+how to use latex and makeindex (unix system). I am trying to find the
+command to actually generate the final index and understand that if your
+file containing the index details is foo.idx, then the command to make the
+new printable index is
+
+makeindex foo.idx
+
+Unfortunately, when I use the command makeindex, or any variant, I get the
+error cannot find command makeindex. Can someone help me out here? I'm not
+a novice at tex, just at latex and making indexes. And, while your at it,
+anyone with glossary development experience - where is the makeglossary
+command hidden?
+
+Please send comments directly to me. I will summarize for the list if there
+is interest. Thanks for your patience.

+Subject: Re: Commercially available LaTeX for SGI?
+
+Dear User Group,
+
+May I ask a quick question on the availability of a commercial version of
+LaTeX to run on the workstation I am using. It is a Silicon Graphics Indigo
+2 R10000 running IRIX 6.2 (without a direct connection to the internet at
+present). Following a tip from the UK-TUG FAQ list I have contacted Arbor Text
+Inc. but they in fact no longer supply the software. Do you have any
+information on alternatives? or would I be better off buying a modem and
+downloading the free version? The latter approach seems attractive but I do
+not know any TeX gurus to ask if I get stuck. If I could find the price of
+a commercial version I could weigh up the pros and cons.
+
+Many thanks in advance for your help,
+
+Paul Garlick (imminent MSc thesis writer!).

+Subject: New releases of changebar and supertabular
+
+Hello,
+
+As of tomorrow 29th september both the packages supertabular and changebar
+will be available from CTAN in new versions, as described below.
+
+Supertabular version 4.1a:
+Two new environments have been added, mpsupertabular and mpsupertabular*.
+They were provided by Axel Kielhorn <A.Kielhorn@tu-bs.de>. These environemnts
+are variants of the old supertabular environments that put each tabular
+segment in its own minipage. This easses the addition of footnotes to
+a multipage tabular.
+Fixed a few bugs, one with \\[...] inside \tablehead and \tabletail, the
+other in the calculation of the available height on the first page of the
+supertabular. This one affected it's use in twocolumn mode only.
+
+Changebar version 3.3c
+Finally fixed the bug that produced diagonal bars when a changebar was
+started near the end of a page. Also made changebar work in LaTeX's
+twocolumn mode, in twocolumn the bars appear on the `outside' of each
+column (which means to the left of the left column and to the right of
+the right column).
+Also fixed a bug in the calculation of the positioning of the bars.
+
+If you encounter any problems with these packages please report them
+to me, using the latexbug.tex mechanism
+
+Kind regards,
+
+Johannes Braams

+Subject: BiBTeX question
+
+Since it is the first time I write to this address I do
+not know how is it organized, who am I speaking to
+and how should I write this e-mail.
+So, sorry for the `non personnal' mail and I hope to
+write it in a better way next time!
+
+The question I have is about BiBTeX and cross references.
+As a matter of fact, it is easy to make them by number but
+is it also possible (and how!) to make them by name and date?
+I mean that so far, the output in the text (article, PhD thesis) is
+a reference like `[number]' and one has to go to the bibliography to
+check what does it correspond to. Instead of that, I would like to
+have in the text something like `[name, date]'.
+Does this format already exist or should I try to write a macro
+by myself?
+
+Thank you for your help!
+Tomasz
+
+PS: the LaTeX version I am using is Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1),
+LaTeX2e <1996/06/01>

+Subject: Announcing gsftopk 1.15
+
+This is to announce that version 1.15 of gsftopk is available. gsftopk is
+a utility that calls Ghostscript to render PostScript fonts, and then converts
+them into pk format. This allows you to view PostScript fonts in xdvi.
+
+In addition to various bug fixes, this version:
+
+ 1. Is ported to the Amiga (courtesy of Christophe Labouisse).
+
+ 2. Accepts '<<', '<[', and '<<[' syntax in the psfonts.map file.
+
+ 3. Accepts numerous additional command-line arguments.
+
+ 4. Has better configuration scripts (thanks to Nelson Beebe for help
+ on this one).
+
+The upgraded version is available from CTAN in the file:
+
+ tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.15.tar.gz
+
+Recall that CTAN is one of the following hosts:

+Subject: release of AMSFonts in PostScript format
+
+The American Math Society is pleased to announce the release, for free
+and unrestricted use, the Type-1 (PostScript) versions of the AMSFonts.
+This collection includes the Euler, ``extra symbol'' and cyrillic fonts
+in selected sizes.
+
+These fonts, produced by Blue Sky Research, of Portland, Oregon, and
+Y&Y Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, and previously distributed by them,
+are made available through the cooperation of a consortium of scientific
+publishers along with Blue Sky and Y&Y. Members of this consortium include:
+
+ Elsevier Science
+ IBM Corporation
+ Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
+ Springer-Verlag
+ American Mathematical Society (AMS)
+
+In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be
+held by the AMS. This is not meant to restrict in any way the legitimate
+use of the fonts. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright
+notice be removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have
+been altered in any way. A more detailed statement of these requirements
+can be found at the AMS Web site, http://www.ams.org/tex/ .
+
+The canonical versions of these fonts are located on the AMS FTP server
+and are also accessible via the Web:
+
+ ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/psfonts/ams
+
+Four system-specific packages are available from the AMS site:
+
+ for use on Macintosh, containing the fonts in standard Macintosh
+ Type 1 format
+
+ - packaged as required for use by Textures
+ - packaged for use by OzTeX, CMacTeX, or other Mac TeX implementations
+
+ for use on a Windows or DOS system, containing fonts in PFB format with
+ PFM metrics files;
+
+ for use on a Unix system, containing fonts in PFB format with AFM
+ metrics files.
+
+Each system-specific package is accompanied by a READ.ME file which contains
+instructions for downloading and installing the fonts. Please review the
+appropriate READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking to install the
+fonts on your system.
+
+The fonts in Macintosh and PFB (binary Type 1 outline) formats, along with
+metrics in appropriate form, will be mirrored on the Comprehensive TeX
+Archive Network (CTAN) in the area
+
+ fonts/amsfonts/ps-type1
+
+Users requiring the fonts in PFA (ASCII Type 1) form should convert them
+with the aid of one of the tools available for that purpose from CTAN.
+
+The AMS does not provide installation assistance or technical support
+beyond any installation instructions included with the collection.
+Installation and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise.

+Subject: Re: release of AMSFonts in PostScript format
+
+Great! Thanks!!
+
+ Ralph
+
+One slight glitch in how these fonts are set up on TeXLive2 which
+may effect how TeXLive3 is set up:
+
+We copied the ams pfb files into a new directory under
+./texmf/fonts/type1 and changed dvips's map file for the
+cmps printer to use these rather than the bakoma versions.
+The glitch is that bokoma had some intermediate sizes the ams
+didn,t, for example, msbm8. Since mxbm8.tfm exists, the dvi file
+can have it and then using
+
+ dvips file.dvi -P cmps -o
+
+will fail because there is no msbm8.pfb in the ams map file.
+
+Of course this can be solved in several ways like getting rid of
+msbm8.tfm. What we did was make the file ../texmf/dvips/cmps/config.cmps
+be
+
+ p +amsbkm.map
+ p +cmbkm.map
+ p +cmps.map
+ p +amsps.map
+
+(amsps.map is the ams's map file.) In this case the ps file generated
+will have the fonts like MSBM10 (from the ams) and msbm8 (from bakoma).

+
+Thanks. That's certainly the answer. The unix distribution of the amspsfonts
+didn't mention this but it is in the documentation for the amsfonts.
+
+But one more glitch: using this from unix gives
+
+! LaTeX Error: File `OMXcmex.fd' not found.
+
+As I know you know, this is because LaTeX has changed to all lower case
+for these files. For now I'll link OMXcmex.fp to omxcmes.fd, but the
+AMS will have to upgrade its amsfonts.sty file.

+(EST)"
+Precedence: bulk
+
+At long last web2c-7.1 is available. This release contains a port of the
+basic TeX project programs (TeX, Metafont, MetaPost, GFtoPK, etc.) to
+Unix. It also contains a new version of the kpathsea library. It does not
+contain any of the dvi drivers (dviljk, dvipsk, xdvik) or other support
+programs (makeindexk, ps2pkk): these will become available later.
+
+The release can be obtained by retrieving
+
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c/web2c.tar.gz
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c/web.tar.gz
+
+(the latter is only needed if you do not have the web files, otherwise
+you can just link/copy those in the web2c-7.1/web2c directory). You
+will also need a a library tree to compile and use these programs.
+The file
+
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c/texmflib.tar.gz
+
+provides a bare-bones tree. These files are also available as

+ ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/web.tar.gz

+is also appended to this message.
+
+Please note that the all-in-one-file texk.tar.gz release has _not_
+been updated, and will not be in the immediate future. Sorry.
+
+This release fixes virtually all known bugs in web2c-7.0 and kpathsea-3.0,
+and adds a few new features, especially to kpathsea. Many thanks to all
+the people who reported bugs, made suggestions, and provided patches.
+
+Instructions for sending bug reports (and joining the mailing list) are in
+the distribution file kpathsea/BUGS.
+
+A summary of the changes follows; read them carefully. Please read
+the manuals as well.
+
+kpathsea changes: 3.1 (10 november 1997)
+* The support for multiple texmf trees is much improved.
+* New MakeTeX* scripts, based on teTeX's. These scripts now use
+ heuristics to decide where generated files are placed and which
+ permissions they should have.
+* The varfonts feature is enabled by default.
+* Some MSDOS/Win32 support added to the sources.
+* Change in searching algorithm: if a name doesn't have the default suffix
+ we append it for the first search. Then we search for the bare name.
+ Thus if you have foo.bar and foo.bar.tex, the latter will now be found
+ first. Under the old system, you had to specify boo.bar.tex.tex to get
+ foo.bar.tex instead of foo.bar.
+* Prepend the value of KPSE_DOT to relative paths from texmf.cnf if it
+ defined in the environment. This means we can use . instead of
+ $KPSE_DOT in paths.
+* Define brace expansion so that {a,b}{1,2} expands to a1:b1:a2:b2. This
+ is different from how shells do it, and exploited in texmf.in.
+* Renamed texmf.cnf.in to texmf.in.
+* New value for debugging: DEBUG_VARS, equal to 64.
+* If a file format has no suffix, allow its long name as the argument to
+ kpsewhich --format.
+
+web2c changes: 7.1 (10 november 1997)

+Subject: ANNOUNCE: xtem version 6
+
+Dear xtem users,
+
+We have finished the new version (xtem_TeXMenu 6.12) of
+
+ "xtem", an X11-TeX-menu
+
+which runs with the new Tcl/Tk/TclX (Tcl8.0)
+as well as with the old versions (Tcl7.4, Tcl7.5 and Tcl7.6).
+
+In addition to adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk, we have done
+error corrections and added new features, such as:
+
+- - the hyphenations found in the .dvi-file can be displayed after a
+ TeX run (for this we have written a program hyphen_show.c);
+
+- - we also realized key bindings,
+
+- - and we modified the print menu (page selection is now controlled
+ for the existence of the selected page numbers in the document).
+
+As usual you can get all material (including the source code of
+Tcl/Tk/TclX we used) from our ftp server:
+
+ ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem/xtem_texmenu.tar.gz
+ ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/*.tar.gz
+or
+ http://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenu.html
+
+The final release took a little bit more time than intended by
+us originally (vacancies, installation, and -- last but not least --
+we had hard to work to program around some incompatibilities between
+Tcl8.0 and Tcl7.6).
+
+We have plans for more features, we will discuss them in a few days
+in our xtem discussion list, for which you can subscribe with an
+e-mail to
+ majordomo@iwd.uni-bremen.de
+with "body"
+ subscribe xtem-list
+ end
+
+Regards, Roland Weibezahn

+Subject: Harvard Refs?
+
+>Hi,
+I'm hoping that you can offer advice to me. I have been using Bibtex
+C Version 0.99c to obtain standard numerical referencing in the past in
+conjunction with LaTeX Version 2.09 (14 Jan 1992).
+However, I am just starting to write up my PhD thesis in Civil
+Engineering using LaTeX2e (1995/06/01) patch level 3 because
+I wish to use the harvard reference system in conjunction with Bibtex
+C Version 0.99c. From text books I have managed to learn that I will need the
+harvard.sty file written by P Williams and T Schnier. I have obtained
+this using ftp however I cannot find out what commands are needed or
+where they are needed to get anything working.
+I would be very grateful if you could send me the infomation I require or
+refer me to a text containing the infomation. Whilst I'm fairly
+computer literate I'm no whizz kid (my PhD is in Soil Mechanics!) so I'd
+appreciate it if I only new the basics just to get the thing working.
+Yours sincerely
+Paul Taylor.

+
+There used to be a user manual with harvard.sty. I remember it lived
+on CTAN among the bibstyles.
+Otherwise, its fairly easy:
+- - use a Harvard-bibstyle
+- - use normal \cite s
+good luck

+Subject: LaTeX2e version in color.sty
+
+Can anyone help with the following...
+
+I have a copy of PCTEX and have copied the installation files for
+LATEX 2e from the CTAN site at Aston UK. Everything seems to be ok
