+Subject: modes 3.3 available
+
+I have released version 3.3 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf
+ ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/modes.mf
+
+and shortly from any CTAN site in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.3.mf.
+finger ctan@tug.org for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors.
+
+News:
+
+New mode for the LaserJet 5, various alias name and dpi corrections.
+
+As always, thanks to the many contributors, and further additions and
+improvements are welcome. Please send bug reports or suggestions to
+tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join).
+
+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 don't understand 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: TeXsis 2.17 is now available
+
+ TeXsis Version 2.17 Released
+ ==============================
+
+ The latest version the TeXsis macro package is now available,
+either from CTAN:/macros/texsis or directly from the TeXsis ftp site
+at ftp://lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu/texsis/.
+
+ TeXsis is a Plain TeX macro package which provides useful features
+for typesetting research papers and related documents, such as:
+
+ * Automatic numbering of equations, figures, tables and references;
+
+ * Simplified control of type sizes, line spacing, footnotes, running
+ headlines and footlines, and tables of contents, figures and tables;
+
+ * Specialized document formats for research papers, preprints and
+ "e-prints," conference proceedings, theses, books, referee
+ reports, letters, and memoranda;
+
+ * Simplified means of constructing an index for a book or thesis;
+
+ * Easy to use double column formatting;
+
+ * Specialized environments for lists, theorems and proofs, centered
+ or non-justified text, and listing computer code;
+
+ * Specialized macros for easily constructing ruled tables;
+
+TeXsis was originally developed for physicists, but others may
+also find it useful. It is completely compatible with Plain TeX.
+
+ ---
+
+The most notable changes or additions to TeXsis in this version are:
+
+ * All bug fixes from patches to TeXsis 2.16 are included in
+ TeXsis 2.17 (they were all pretty minor).
+
+ * Support for using BibTeX to extract references from bibliographic
+ databases (it's easier to use than in LaTeX!).
+
+ * The ability to change the colors in PostScript output, which is
+ useful for making overhead transparencies. (The style file
+ color.txs is a functional superset of colordvi.sty, but also
+ lets you push/pop the PostScript color stack.)
+
+ * The less used form letter macros have been moved to a style file,
+ Formletr.txs.
+
+ * It is now possible to print an envelope for a letter, simply by
+ adding \withEnvelope to the beginning of the manuscript file.
+
+ * The internal format of the .aux file has been changed. Users
+ shouldn't notice this, but it will allow the use of tools and
+ packages that use this file (such as BibTeX) that were formerly
+ only available in LaTeX.
+
+ * The manual has been improved. The installation instructions have
+ been slightly updated. The Makefile has been updated to match the
+ now common TeX Directory Structure.
+
+ * Many other small additions and improvements.
+
+Those of you who have been using the beta version of 2.17 in the past
+few months will find little changed, except that the manual has
+recently been updated to match earlier changes to the source code.
+
+We plan on introducing macros for hyperTeX in a later release,
+although some support already exists (but is not yet documented).
+
+ ---
+
+ 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 her/his system can then simply get this file, add "\input
+mtexsis" to the manuscript file, and then process the paper with Plain
+TeX. You can make your own e-print manuscript files automatically
+load mtexsis.tex if it is needed by adding the following line at the
+beginning 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
+can be sent to us at: texsis@lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu.
+
+ If you would like to join the TeXsis mailing list, just drop us an
+e-mail note to that effect at the same address.
+
+ If you received this message via the mailing list but do not want
+to be on the list then just send us a note and we will take you off.
+We only maintain the list to send out notices about TeXsis, we don't
+give the list out to anybody else.

+Subject: Tug'98: Final call for papers closes this week.
+
+Dear Colleague -- A final reminder that the Call for Papers for TUG'98 closes
+this week. Papers received after 30th January are very unlikely to be
+considered, so I urge anyone considering offering a paper or poster session
+to communicate with the Programme Committee with maximum urgency.
+
+The 1998 TeX User Group conference, TUG'98 will take place in Torun, Poland,
+between 17th and 21st August 1998. The theme of the conference is
+"Integrating
+TeX with the Surrounding World", and papers which specifically address that
+theme will be most welcome, although papers on any topic which is relevant to
+TeX, typography, and/or electronic publishing will be considered. If you are
+considering proposing a paper or offering a poster session, please be aware
+that the last date for receipt of proposals is 30th January 1998. Further
+details are available from the TUG'98 web pages:
+
+ http://www.tug.org/tug-98/ (general information)
+ http://www.tug.org/tug-98/call.html (call for papers)
+
+If for any reason the TUG server is down, the same documents can be found at:
+

+
+Philip Taylor,
+Chairman: TUG'98 Programme Committee
+
+P.S. Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message: it
+is being sent to all known TeX-related lists, and many of you may well
+be members of more than one such list.

+
+`be' may mean different things to different people. What is true is
+that the construction will expand to a token of category 13, whose
+expansion (in this expansion step) is suppressed.
+
+But \ifcat does not only test for the category of character tokens, as
+you clearly know. You wrote
+
+\ifcat \bgroup\noexpand\next
+
+\bgroup is a command token and as such has no category. However it is
+\let to a character token, and in the case of a command being so let
+\ifcat tests the category of the implicit token. This also applies
+to active characters. a ~ that is \let to a 0 is the same as \xxx that
+is let to a 0 they will both be \ifcat (and \if) equal to 0.
+so
+
+ \ifcat\noexpand~\noexpand\next \message{13}\fi
+ \ifcat 0\noexpand\next \message{12}\fi
+
+are both testing the same thing, so both are true.
+You can distinguish between them with \ifx if you want.
+
+The last case is similar if you \let~\bgroup then
+ \ifcat\noexpand~\noexpand\next \message{13}\fi
+ \ifcat \bgroup\noexpand\next \message{ 1}\fi
+are the same thing, as in each case the first non expandable token
+after the \ifcat is \let equal to a { and so \next is tested against
+the category of the implicit { token.

+
+In connection with a category code programming query Colin Mason writes:
+> The construction \noexpand~ should be category 13 regardless of the

+but this is not qyite correct. Character tokens have a category, and
+active characters have category 13.
+
+This is not how \ifcat works. It expands until it gets two unexpandables,
+and then looks that the meanings of the unexpandables.
+If both are, say,
+> alignment tab character ?
+where ? need not be the same in both cases, the \ifcat is true. All clear
+so far?
+
+Now let's look at \noexpand. If a token is expandable (a macro, an \if
+command, \the, and some others listed in Chapter 20 of the TeXbook) then
+the \noexpand <token> promotes that instance of the <token> to \relax.
+But if it is not expandable, then the \noexpand has no effect.
+
+Exercise:
+What happens when you type
+a) \expandafter \show \noexpand &
+b) \expandafter \show \noexpand \relax
+c) \expandafter \show \noexpand \ifcase
+d) \expandafter \show \noexpand \temp
+e) \expandafter \show \noexpand ~

+Once you have mastered this, all should be clear. (The answer to (d) and

+Subject: A few pages with different margin and text-width
+
+I'm producing A4 catalogues with LaTeX2e. The body of the catalogue has a
+3-column design (courtesy of multicol), mostly using a 7-point font.
+
+I want the front matter to be more friendly, with more white space.
+So I want to do it in a single column, in a 10-point font.
+
+For consistency between the front matter and the body ("the same grid")
+- -- and to keep to readability conventions which limit the number of
+characters per line -- I want the single column in the front matter to
+align with the outer two columns in the body.
+
+I tried approaching this by saying that, within the 10 pages or so of
+front matter, I want:
+* \oddsidemargin to be temporarily bigger than it is in the rest of the
+ catalogue
+* \textwidth (or \linewidth?) to be temporarily smaller than it is in the
+ rest of the catalogue.
+The LaTeX book (page 181) says that anomalies may occur if one tries to
+change such things in the middle of a document. So it isn't surprising
+that this approach gave unwanted side-effects. (My page footer got shifted
+sideways.)
+
+I got the visual effect I wanted by fiddling with \hspace and minipage, so
+that each page in the front matter contained a minipage (whose width
+equalled that of the outer two columns in the body), with the minipages on
+odd-numbered pages pushed outwards with \hspace. But this gives
+maintenanace problems. (If the text changes next year, I'll have to re-do
+the manual fiddling.)
+
+Can anyone suggest a satisfactory way of getting a few consecutive pages
+with:
+* a larger inner margin than the rest of the publication
+* a correspondingly narrower text-width than the rest of the publication.

+Subject: Real Numbers
+
+I wonder if you can help me. I've been using \Re to represent the real
+numbers, but I really don't like the symbol. I've been trying to get the
+R with a double bar at the back but I can't seem to find it.
+
+Does it exist? Is there any package that might have it? I'm using LaTeX2e
+<1996/12/01> patch level 1.
+
+Thanks!

+Subject: modes.mf 3.4 available
+
+I have released version 3.4 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp://tug.org/tex/modes.mf
+
+and shortly from any CTAN site in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.4.mf.
+finger ctan@ctan.org for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors.
+
+News:
+
+New modes for the Phaser 560, Lexmark Optra S 1250/1650/2450,
+LaserJet 4000 FastRes, and one pixel/pt output.
+
+Various formatting glitches fixed.
+
+As always, thanks to the many contributors, and further additions and
+improvements are welcome. Please send bug reports or suggestions to
+tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join).
+
+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 don't understand mf.web
+well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some
+Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd 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.

+[snip]
+
+It sounds like you're trying to use non-Metafont founts with TeX (normally
+PS Type 1 founts). There are lots of files at CTAN to allow you to use PS
+Type 1 founts with TeX, but in most cases the founts concerned are
+commercial products which you have to buy from a firm that sells founts.
+
+You might find it useful to ask this question on comp.text.tex.

+Subject: metafont base
+
+Hello people!
+
+ I'm trying MetaFont, I work on Windows NT, I have WinZip and the file
+mf.zip from GTEX in the CTAN. When I expand the zip file, I get some files
+and directories (the mf.exe says: "This is METAFONT, Version 2.718 (gTeX
+distribution 2.2)", and prompt: **). In the mfbase directory, there are to
+MSDOS-macros, cm.bat and plain.bat, to create the base files. But when I
+try them, give me the error:
+ ! I can't read mf.pool.
+
+ And that it because I have only a "mf.poo" file, but when I rename or copy
+it into mf.pool, they still give me the same error. It is the same if I
+copy it in the directory of the file mf.exe.
+
+ Does anyone of you know how to get the base files, or the .pool file or
+another MetaFont version that run under MS-DOS or Windows NT? Please,
+please, tell me any idea that could help me to begin!

+ Thanks a lot of and happy weekend!

+Hello,

+I'm writing my thesis using the amsbook class.
+Every new chapter starts on a right-hand side page, of course.
+However, if the previous chapter ends on a right-hand side page,

+not empty! It has a page number and a header. I want this page

+report & book class will say `Appendix A' for the top level appendix,
+but (in common with almost any book i know) won't put `appendix' in
+front of every subsection of the the appendixes.
+
+if you want something like the above, you need to rewrite some part of

+Subject: Appendices in LaTeX
+
+Dear Yomi:
+
+First, you don't need to make each appendix a chapter, as that would make
+each appendix title appear in the table of contents as a
+chapter. Instead, simply input each appendix file with
+
+\input{appendA} (where the filename is appendA.tex)
+
+Next, at the beginning of file appendA.tex put
+
+\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}
+\thispagestyle{plain}
+\section*{\bf \Huge Appendix A}
+\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bf Appendix A}
+\renewcommand{\thepage}{A--\arabic{page}}
+\markboth{Appendix A}{}
+\markright{Appendix A}
+
+then put your appendix text here.
+
+If you begin each appendix file with the commands above, an line with page
+number should be added to the table of contents for each
+appendix. Also, page numbering in appendix A will be A-1, A-2, but only in
+the appendix. The actual number of the page should show
+in the table of contents.
+
+Good luck,
+

+Subject: help on lucida
+
+Using The Latex Companion for guide to typesetting my documents i notice
+the beautyful style of fonts. I read in the companion that to use those
+fonts I must specify the package lucidbrb.sty. In the sunsite archive i
+download the package lucida where i find the sources to create the styles.
+The documentation i found suggest to do:
+`Latex lucidabr.ins' to create the styles and .fd files. The result is a
+succesion of Unrecognized command sequencies...
+The second thing suggested is
+`Latex lucidabr.yy', but it has the same effect.
+I decided to use latex on lucida.ins, and this time seems to work, but
+when i use dviscr (calling mfjob itself) doesn't find fonts needed.
+How can I do to use lucidbrb.sty correctly?
+It's so difficult obtain a style like the Companion?
+What is the right procedure to install it?
+
+Please help me, nobody can help me in Italy!
