The three of them seemed possessed of +limitless enthusiasm and industry. But even Don is +limited. He has decided to pass on \TeXMaG\ to another +worthy group: volume 4, number 2 is now produced by a 6 +person team at Texas A\&M. In the editorial which +accompanied this latest issue we are told that `Don is +putting \TeXMaG\ aside for greater and grander pursuits'. +The burden is now chiefly on the shoulders of Neil +Burleson, ably assisted by most of the \TeX ies at A\&M +(I exaggerate). + +\TeXMaG\ describes itself as `a mostly unofficial +publication for users of the \TeX\ typesetting system' +and is an `independently published electronic magazine +available free of charge to all interested parties +reachable by electronic mail.' It has certainly been a +refreshing and useful organ in the past. Having met some +of the editorial team in Texas, I am confident that it +will continue in strength. + +The new plan is to produce \TeXMaG\ more often, with +an aimed frequency of not less than once every two +months. The new editorial board suggest that the scope of +the magazine might be narrowed a little. They include a +reader's survey (which was to be returned two days before +I received it -- shurely shum mishtake, ed.). + +This issue has a couple of macros to produce `shadowed +boxes', both in \LaTeX\ and {\tt plain}. The next issue +will contain a tables macro which can handle multi-row, +multi-column, variant-width rules tables, with full +documentation. A bold claim. + +If you are on electronic mail, it is straightforward both +to submit material to \TeXMaG, and to receive it.
