-\text1 is a macro package for use with \plain{} and has been
-available for purchase for several years. Beginning in January 1990,
-\text1\ went into the \TeX\ public domain collection of macros.
-
-In 1983, a decision was made at Washington State University
-to put time into creating a set of macros to be used with \TeX.
-This macro set was to provide many of the functions found in \LaTeX:
-multiple columns, table of contents, indexing\footnote{$^*$}{The
-three different index styles illustrated in Appendix A in
-\TUB~{\bf1}(1) can all be achieved with \text1's index.}, chapters, lists,
-boxes, margin notes, etc. Yet there were to be two important differences:
-\list[\numbered]
-\item The {\tt PLAIN.TEX} commands would be able to be used in
-\text1.
-\item Modifying the \text1\ formats would be considerably easier than
-modifying \LaTeX\ styles.
-\endlist
-
-The resulting set of macros met the above criteria. One important
-exception was that no attempt was made to give \text1\ a picture
-environment such as was in \LaTeX. The documentation you may
-purchase for \text1\
-consists of a 300 page Reference Manual and a 100 page Users Guide.
-
-\head * Changing the Formats *
-
-As an example of how easy it is to modify the \text1\ formats, if the
-user wants to increase the bottom margin from 6 to 7 picas, they
-can simply specify:
-||\pageformat{\bottommargin{7pc}}||
-Or if you wanted your running head to contain the chapter title
-left-justified and the page number right-justified on odd pages, and
-the chapter title right-justified and the page number left-justified
-on even pages, you could say:
-\verbatim
-\runningheadformat{
- \oddpages{\line{\lft{\chaptertitle}
- \rt{\pagenumber}}}
- \evenpages{\line{\lft{\pagenumber}
- \rt{\chaptertitle}}}
- }
-\endverbatim
-
-For one last example, it is often desirable to change the text embedded
-within macros. For example, by default if you say:
-||\chapter{Introduction}||
-you would get ``Chapter 1'' at the top of the next page in bold, with
-``Introduction'' centered below that. If you were using \text1\ in
-Germany, you would probably prefer ``Kapitel'' instead of
-``Chapter'', so you could change the chapter's format to say:
-\verbatim
-\chapterformat{
- \titleformat{\newpage
- \centerline{%
- \bf Kapitel \chapternumber}
- \centerline{\bf\chaptertitle}
- \vs{1\bl}
- }
- \incontents{yes}}
-\endverbatim
-Then in your text you would specify the introduction (first
-chapter) as:
-||\chapter{Einleitung}||
-
-\head * Additional Products *
-
-Other products that came out of this pro\-ject and are now going into
-the public domain are a typesetter driver for the Compugraphics 8600
-and additional fonts.
-
-\subhead * Typesetter Driver *
-
-The Compugraphics driver is written in \WEB. It has the ability to
-add line numbering to the DVI output as it is printed on the 8600.
-The program does include some Pascal statements unique to IBM's
-Pascal/VS, so a change file would be necessary for any operating
-system other than IBM's VM/CMS.
-
-\subhead * Additional Fonts *
-
-Extra fonts were created from the base Computer Modern. These were
-Computer Modern at 11, 12, 14, 18, 24 and 36 point sizes. I do not
-know yet if I can call these Computer Modern, but I have asked
-Professor Knuth for permission to do so.
-
-In addition to the larger Computer Modern fonts, we also created an
-International Phonetic Alphabet in 9, 10, 11 and 12 point sizes. The
-IPA font is illustrated at the end of this article.
-
-\head * How to get {\bi\text1} *
-
-You can get any of the above \text1\ products on diskette or by
-anonymous FTP. Also, I will be distributing \text1\ to the various
-site coordinators who can determine whether to place it on their
-distribution.
-
-To obtain \text1\ on diskette from Jon Radel, send a note to
-\address[\display]
-Jon Radel \\
-P.O. Box 2276 \\
-Reston, VA \\
-22090-0276
-\endaddress
-and ask for \text1 (4 disks). To cover postage and other expenses,
-if you are in North America, please enclose \$1.50/disk if you send
-blank disks or \$5.00/disk if you don't; if you are anywhere else in
-the world, enclose \$2.00/disk if you send blank disks or \$6.00/disk
-if you don't. $\mu$\TeX\ and \PCTeX\ use different directories, so
-specify which of these two you are using. If you are using neither of
-these, then just specify \PCTeX. You should also specify whether you
-want |pk| (3 disks) or |gf| (5 disks) font files for the additional fonts
-(these do not include the IPA fonts).
-
-You may also request \text1\ for a Macintosh from Jon (1 disk).
-It is set up to run with \TeXtures.
-
-To order the IPA fonts from Jon, request the WSU IPA font. This
-consists of two diskettes: 1)~the IPA source files and Users Guide,
-and 2)~|pk| or |gf| files.
-
-To get \text1\ by anonymous FTP, you can connect to
-ftp.wsu.edu.
-Log on as
-|anonymous|, and change to the
-|/pub/tex/text1| directory. You will see ten subdirectories which you can GET
-files from:
-\list[\numbered]
-\item |BLOCKS|: this directory contains all of the default formats (or
-building ``blocks'' such as the |chapterformat|, |runningheadformat|, etc.)
-
-\item |CMS_HELP_FILES|: these are some of the help files used on the
-CMS system at WSU. Some sites have taken these files and used them in creating
-help files on a PC or on a \VAX.
-
-\item |COMPUGRAPHICS_8600|: this is the Compugraphics 8600 phototypesetter
-driver program, and its various utilities. Not very much documentation here,
-so venture further on your own.
-
-\item |FONTS|: This is the source for the additional Computer Modern
-fonts generated, such as 11, 14, 18, 24 and 36pt sizes.
-
-\item |MACINTOSH|: this contains the index sorting facility used with
-\text1. It is written for Turbo Pascal. (The executable binary can
-be obtained from Jon Radel if you do not have Turbo Pascal yourself.)
-
-\item |MACROS|: this contains the \text1 macros. The file |TEXT1.TEX| is used
-with Ini\TeX{} to create a new |fmt|.
-
-\item |MODELS|: contains various simple models such as letter, resume,
-etc. It also contains a model (|MERGETXT|) which can be used as a
-model for merge letters. For example, you could tell Dbase III to
-create an address list, merge it with a standard letter, and using
-the model print a
-copy for each person.
-
-\item |TEXIX|: the sorted index program used with \text1. Presently
-the only systems this is running on is CMS and Macintosh. |TEXIX| for
-\VAX{} and PC systems is in the works.
-
-\item |VAX_VMS|: when ready, this will have the sorted index for VMS
-users.
-
-\item |WSUIPA|: This contains the source for the International
-Phonetic Alphabet, as well as the |tfm| and |300pk| files.
-
-\endlist

-\head * {\bi\text1} Documentation *
-
-The documentation for \text1\ is not free. Pre\-sent\-ly, the
-documentation must be ordered through:
-\address[\display]
-\text1\ Distribution\\
-Computing Service Center \\
-Washington State University \\
-Pullman, WA. 99164-1220
-\endaddress
-The cost is \$35 for the Reference Manual and \$25 for the Users
-Guide. (Add \$5 postage if outside of the U.S.) The manuals are not
-yet available through the \TeX\ Users Group, but I hope to have them
-there as soon as I find a publisher.
-
-If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email note on Bitnet
-at {\tt GUENTHER@WSUVM1} or to {\tt GUENTHER@WSUVM1.WSU.EDU} on
-Internet.
