+Hello VietNetters,
+
+Welcome to the new VietNet (tm) anonymous ftp archive server.
+
+All programs and/or information is "AT YOUR OWN RISK" and no one in
+the entire world is responsible for it or anything that happens
+because of the use/nonuse of anything here.
+
+Due to the slow response time on xlnvax.excelan.com server, I have created
+a new anon ftp server to replace xlnvax. The name of the new server is
+na.excelan.com [IP=130.57.6.3 for those who do not run name server]
+All VietNet archives are stored under directory "Vietnet" in the mail folder,
+compressed format (to save space). You need to ftp in the binary mode to
+get the file, then uncompress it, and in many cases, invoke "mail -f foo"
+to read the articles out of the mail folder. A directory "incomings"
+is available for those who would like to send files/programs to be
+distributed on VietNet.
+
+na.excelan.com is a SUN 4/280 with lots of space.
+
+Please note that this service is available only for those on the Internet.
+Any questions or comments, please e-mail directly to me at tran@na.excelan.com
+
+Tony Tran

+
+VNTeX is a preprocessor (writen in C) that translates Vietnamese text
+written according to a specific set of rules into TeX's. (See below
+for those rules.) VNTeX takes an ".vnt" file and creates a
+corresponding ".tex" file. It also generates a TeX macro file called
+VNTEX-MACRO.tex. Afterward, TeX or LaTeX (your choice) must be
+invoked to produce the ".dvi" file.
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+To make VNTeX, type in the current directory
+
+ % make
+
+Assuming the input file is "lang-toi.vnt", type
+
+ % VNTeX -12 lang-toi.vnt # for 12 point size
+ % VNTeX -11 lang-toi.vnt # for 11 point size
+ % VNTeX lang-toi.vnt # default -- 10 point size
+
+A corresponding .tex file is created which must be run through
+LaTeX/TeX to create the .dvi file.
+
+ % latex lang-toi.tex
+ % tex lang-toi.tex
+
+The .dvi file can then be sent to the laser printer using the local
+command at your site.
+
+VNTeX has only been tested under TeX version 2.98 and LaTeX version
+2.09 on Sun3 and Sun4 workstations and Sequent Balance running 4.2 BSD
+Unix. One person mentions to me that he receives a "memory capacity
+exceeded" message while running LaTeX on the .tex file which is
+produced by VNTeX. I think this is a problem of LaTeX, especially in
+early releases of LaTeX, not VNTeX's. In this case, asking the system
+administrator to re-make LaTeX with a larger memory would solve the
+problem. A better solution would be to upgrade TeX and LaTeX.
+
+
+RULES:
+------
+The rules for writing Vietnamese are as follows:
+
+ 1. dd, DD ===> as in ddinh (nail), dda'nh (fight).
+
+ 2. oo, OO ===> as in coom (rice), soon (paint).
+
+ 3. uu, UU ===> as in thuu (letter), dduua (deliver).
+
+ 4. ( ===> as in dda('t tie^`n (expensive), ra('n (snake).
+
+ 5. Letters are written from left to right, followed by marks above
+ the letter (if any) and then the period (da^'u na(.ng) below the
+ letter (if any). For examples,
+
+ Chie^`u chie^`u ra dduu'ng ngo~ sau,
+ Tro^ng ve^` que^ Me., ruo^.t ddau chi'n chie^`u.
+
+ Vuu`a ba(`ng ha.t ddo^~, a(n gio^~ ca? la`ng.
+
+
+ 6. Vietnamese and English can be mixed freely. However, if any word
+ contains the letters defined in rules 1, 2 or 3 (dd, DD, uu, UU,
+ oo, OO), they should be escaped, e.g.,
+
+ should be written
+ Nha` ha`ng Bamboo Garden =================> Nha` ha`ng Bamb\oo Garden
+
+
+ 7. To distinguish the end-sentence character 'period' or 'question'
+ from the diacritical mark da^'u na(.ng or da^'u ho?i, respectively,
+ you must ESCAPE the mark by preceeding it with a backslash '\'.
+
+ Mie^'ng khi ddo'i ba(`ng go'i khi no\. # '.' escaped
+
+ Ye^u ne^n to^'t, ghe't ne^n xa^'u. # '.' not escaped because
+ # xa^'u already has da^'u sa('c
+
+
+TYPING
+------
+When you first start typing Vietnamese according to the rules above,
+the diacritical marks would bother you somewhat, especially the marks
+^, ` and ~. However, your speed will pick up eventually. For me,
+after almost 4 years, I can type Vietnamese as fast as I can type
+English. :-) Well, not exactly. The trick is that I am using emacs
+editor which allows me to bind special control keys to vowels with ^.
+Thus, I never have to reach SHIFT-6. For instances, in emacs:
+
+ CTRL-C a --> a^
+ CTRL-C A --> A^
+ CTRL-C e --> e^
+ CTRL-C o --> o^
+
+If you are interested, I will mail you a copy of my emacs file
+"VNTeX-mode.el".
+
+
+FONTS
+-----
+Personally, I think the slanted font at 11 point looks best. However,
+in larger fonts (14pt or bigger) you need to physically draw the mark
+'?' yourself for the letters uu, UU, oo, and OO. I think this is
+acceptable because we don't deal with larger fonts often.
+
+
+CAVEATS
+-------
+VNTeX is by any means complete. We just wanted something acceptable
+without having to spend a lot of time to develop it. I would be more
+than willing to assist anyone on a different approach, be it METAfont
+or whatever. I have some ideas on how to enhance the program (more
+vigorous checking, better font selection when switching to larger
+fonts, etc.), but I cannot squeeze more time into it. Please feel
+free to distribute VNTeX to anyone interested, provided that you leave
+the message at the beginning of the program. Also please keep me
+informed if you make any modification. My e-mail address is
+nguyen@ics.uci.edu.
+
+In case you accidentally delete the original .vnt file but still have
+the corresponding .tex file, I also include in this package a program
+called tex2vnt which would reverse the translating process. That is,
+tex2vnt takes the .tex file generated by VNTeX and produces the
+corresponding .vnt file. To generate this program, type % make tex2vnt.
+
+For those of you who don't know what TeX is, let me describe it VERY
+briefly. TeX is "a sophisticated document preparation system of Donal
+Knuth to produce high-quality typesetting, especially for mathematical
+text." It is like WordStar, WordPerfect, or MicrosoftWord for IBM PCs
+or MacWrite for Macs. Similarly, LaTeX consists of a high level set
+of TeX macros which would make it easier for users to learn and use
+TeX. If your system does not have TeX, you are out of luck, i.e., you
+cannot run VNTeX! However, if you have troff, you can request from
+Nha^n at Florida a different package (written in C) for typesetting
+Vietnamese. He posted it a while ago on VietNet. This package is a
+re-implementation of a Pascal package written by another VietNet member
+whose name I forgot. (Please forgive me! Our VietNet family has been
+growing so fast!) BTW, I still keep a copy of this troff package.
+
+Anyway, happy printing...
+
