But I need more! Please delight fellow \TeX\ +users with your words of wisdom. +\emph{Please note the following schedule of copy deadlines}: + +\def\Thead#1{\makebox[1.7cm][c]{\rotatebox{30}{ +\parbox{2.4cm}{\raggedright #1}}}} +\begin{quote} +\begin{tabular}{llll} +\em \rotatebox{30}{Issue}& +\em \Thead{Submit material for publication}& +\em \Thead{Submit last-minute notices}& +\em \Thead{Anticipated posting date}\\ +4.5&Oct 17&Oct 24&Nov 10\\ +4.6&Dec 19&Dec 22&Jan 9\\ +\end{tabular} +\end{quote} +Please also note the changed email and paper mail addresses for the +editor in the banner heading above. + +Each issue of \BV\ will have a special theme, although articles on any +\TeX-related subject are always welcome. Contributions on the themes +for the remainder of 1994 are eagerly solicited: +\BV\ 4.5 will try and go beyond \TeX, to see what is on the +horizon, and \BV\ 4.6 will be about font-encoding if past history is anything + to go by \ldots + +\subsection{\TeX\ goes CD-ROM} + +In the last \BV, the Dutch-produced \fortex\ CD was advertised, and +shortly afterwards a box of them arrived in the UK. They were promptly +snapped up by discerning members, and back-orders to Holland from +around the world soon accounted for all the copies which were made. +If you do manage to find one, it's a real treasure trove (you can see +one of my `finds' later) of fonts, macros, programs, articles, all +piled together moderately higgledy-piggledy. NTG and the \fortex\ team +are to be enthusiastically thanked for this product. I couldn't get +too excited about \fortex\ itself (it's a DOSsy shell for \TeX), but I +have used the disk over and over again to find odd files. Are any \BV\ +readers who bought the CD willing to write a full review? + +If that wasn't enough, those of us who attended TUG94 were given +another CD, `\TeX cetera', courtesy of Prime Time Freeware. This +is an almost-complete copy of the CTAN archives as of mid June (they +left out a few monolithic items like the Archimedes \TeX\ setup to +make it fit a single disk), collected and compressed into (usually) +meaningful bundles. They couldn't just dump the whole archive since a) +its too big, and b) the ISO 9660 file system on the CD couldn't cope +with the names and the level of subdirectories. This CD is a Really +Useful Thing! I recommend all or any \TeX\ persons reading this to buy +a copy now, and encourage Prime Time Freeware to issue regular +editions. Details of suppliers are given in the regular section at the +back of \BV. + +\subsection{The archive is dead, long live the archive\ldots} +Later in this issue, Martyn Johnson and Robin Fairbairns explain why +and how the UK's \TeX\ Archive has moved to Cambridge. I join them in +a tremendous vote of thanks to Peter Abbott for the way he stood +behind the archive for years at Aston; without him we would have none +of today's fancy CTANs. At the same time, I would like to record again +the hallowed names of those pioneer archivists who worked so hard on +the old archive: Adrian Clark, Malcolm Clark, Brian Hamilton Kelly, +Niel Kempson, David Osborne, Sebastian Rahtz, Chris Rowley and Phil +Taylor. David's (ongoing) work on the +\texttt{uktex} and \texttt{texhax} bulletins +also deserves the fullest recognition here. + +\subsection{Colophon} + +This issue of the journal was created entirely with the new standard +\LaTeX\ and printed on a Hewlett Packard LaserJet~4. +\BV\ is set in ITC New Baskerville Roman and Gill Sans, +with Computer Modern Typewriter +for literal text. Production and distribution was undertaken in +Cambridge by Robin Fairbairns and Jonathan Fine. +\end{article} +\end{multicols} +\input{siep} +\Dings +\MakeShortVerb{|} +\input{bailey2} +\DeleteShortVerb{|} +\MakeShortVerb{+} +\input{fine} +\input{taylor} +\input{chen} +\DeleteShortVerb{+} +\input{goossens} +\input{ntuf} +\input{clark} +\input{bailey} +\MakeShortVerb{|} +\input{ctanuk} +\DeleteShortVerb{|} +\Dings +\input{consult} + +\end{document} + |
