+
+I am pretty new to the translation business, but one of my colleagues needs
+help. He has a document (with many equations) in Latex and needs to convert it
+to MS Word (running on a Macintosh) to be able to edit it. Does anyone out
+there know of such a translator?
+In general, is there a list of available translators and how to obtain them?
+Thank you!

+Subject: Re: Magic lines for TeX/Mf files
+
+Dan Karron <karron@karron.med.nyu.edu> asks about magic byte values
+for TeXware files.
+
+We have had the following in our UNIX systems' /etc/magic file for
+some time now:
+
+#=======================================================================
+# Local additions to the /etc/magic file
+0 short 0x1b0c Tektronix graphics file
+0 short 0xf702 TeX DVI (device-independent) file
+0 short 0xf759 TeX PK packed font file
+0 short 0xf783 TeX GF (generic font) file
+
+We no longer have .pxl files, so I didn't bother to make a magic entry
+for them. The first 32-bit word of a .pxl file contains the decimal
+value 1001, so a /etc/magic entry like
+
+0 long 0x000003e9 TeX PXL (pixel font) file
+
+should suffice.
+
+TeX source files are not easily identifiable because they can start
+with anything at all. Only if users adopt a common convention like
+
+%% This is a -*-TeX-*- file
+
+could we have a /etc/magic entry like
+
+0 string %% TeX source file
+
+This still leaves open the problem of distinguishing plain TeX from
+AmSTeX, LaTeX, SliTeX, AmSLaTeX, and LAmSTeX. I prefer to do that by
+file extensions instead, and use .tex, .ltx, .stx, .alx, .lax
+respectively.
+
+Regrettably, TeX/METAFONT .tfm files have no magic signature that can
+be used to identify them (see TeX: The Program, Section 539ff, p.
+216). I've always viewed this as a serious design flaw in TeX,
+because it is hard for a DVI driver to be distinguish a TFM file from
+random garbage.
+
+While a .tfm file does contain a checksum, it is a Metafont-generated
+checksum of the font parameters, not the .tfm file contents. The DVI
+driver can compare this against the font checksum recorded in the .dvi
+file, and issue a warning if they do not match.
+
+The only other sanity check a DVI driver can make is that the first
+word of a .tfm file contains a file length measured in 32-bit words
+that should match the actual size of the file as returned by an
+operating-system call. Even that is not reliable however, because
+some operating systems pad binary files with NULs to disk block
+boundaries. Worse, 8 parameters in the 12-word .tfm file header are
+lengths of tables that are stored later on in the file, and file
+corruption can lead to crashes of a driver when it gets an
+unreasonable value for one of these lengths, and clobbers internal
+arrays.

+Subject: Expanding user-defined macros for REVTeX compuscripts
+
+The widespread adoption of electronic submission of TeX files (more
+precisely, LaTeX with \documentstyle{revtex}) to journals of the American
+Physical Society (APS) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) poses an
+interesting problem for the handling of user-defined macros. The present
+rules for the ``REVTeX'' compuscript program state either that NO
+user-defined macros (they call them ``type 1'') are allowed (APS), or that
+only a very small number are allowed (AIP). It turns out that ``very small
+number'' means 1 or 2 (according to Peggy Sutherland of the AIP), not the
+possibly hundreds of macros that a reasonably-sized manuscript could
+naturally entail. Furthermore, NO recursive math definitions are allowed.
+
+After detailed discussions with Christopher Hamlin of the APS and Peggy
+Sutherland, I conclude that there appear to be two principal reasons for these
+stringent restrictions: (1) personnel aren't trained yet to alter TeX macros if
+necessary; (2) much more importantly, users may not be consistent in their use
+of macros. For example, consider the fragment
+
+ \def\lD{\lambda_{\rm D}}
+ .
+ .
+ .
+ The definition of~$\lD$ is ... For $\lambda_{\rm D} small...
+
+You are to imagine that the text fragments are buried deep inside the
+manuscript. Now suppose that the journal editor decides to remove the \rm
+from the definition of \lD to enforce a style rule of the journal. Simply
+changing the one-line \def does NOT have the desired effect, since the
+author sometimes typed out his original definition by hand. Thus, either
+the editorial staff would have to proofread the entire paper (very costly),
+or changes may have to be made at the proof stage. Neither possibility is
+desirable.
+
+Although I think one can still argue that the proper solution is
+to encourage REVTeX authors to use ``macro discipline,'' so that simple
+changes can be made to the macro definitions rather than having someone
+edit the entire file, the journals won't back down in the short term.
+(Furthermore, at the AIP it's even worse: They don't even run TeX on the
+REVTeX source that is submitted; they first translate it into their
+in-house Xyvision language, then edit that as necessary. Am I alone in
+thinking that this is ridiculous?)
+
+The journals, therefore, want a source file that has all user macros
+expanded. They suggest doing this with an editor, but this is tedious and
+error-prone for long, complicated documents. My alternative solution is to
+expand the macros automatically. I have written a utility, with the
+working name of XMACRO, that does so.
+
+XMACRO is an emulation of the higher-level (pre-stomach) operations of TeX
+itself. It absorbs and tokenizes source code just as TeX does (respecting
+all the rules about catcodes etc.), and expands macros as appropriate.
+What's left is a stream of TeX primitives and possibly undefined macros.
+However, instead of typesetting the primitives or complaining about
+undefined macros, XMACRO just writes their names to the output file. The
+effect is to generate a new TeX file that should be equivalent to the
+original, but that has all user-defined macros expanded. This form should
+satisfy the journals.
+
+For example, at the end of this message can be found listings of two short
+input files, xsample.src and xsample.bbl, and the file xsample.tex that was
+output by XMACRO.
+
+I am attempting to convince the REVTeX people to distribute this utility
+along with the REVTeX release. There's nothing definite yet. Meanwhile,
+as an experiment and debugging exercise that will run for ONE MONTH
+beginning with the public release of this texhax announcement, users may
+submit valid REVTeX files to me; they'll receive the expanded results back
+shortly by email. The rules are:
+
+ (1) Valid REVTeX 3.0 file only. This must be precisely as you would
+submit it to the journal, except that your macro definitions shouldn't be
+expanded. The file will first be run as-is through LaTeX. If LaTeX
+detects an error, I will probably not attempt the XMACRO expansion.
+
+ (2) One source file per document. (I.e., .bbl files must be
+inserted manually.) This is in spite of the example at the end of this
+message, which demonstrates that XMACRO can handle automatic insertion of
+the .bbl file.
+
+ (3) Please try to localize all user definitions to the start of the
+file, before the \documentstyle command.
+
+ (4) Send the file to krommes@princeton.edu as the text of a message
+with the precise subject ``XMACRO request''.
+
+ (5) EMAIL submissions ONLY. No disks!
+
+This experiment is intended to be a debugging exercise and to publicize the
+existence of this utility. I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for errors in the expanded
+file that is returned to you (although obviously I'd like to hear about
+them), delays in publication, losses of promotions or Nobel prizes, etc! I
+do certainly promise not to publish your manuscript under my name, release
+it to anyone else, or to use any of its contents unethically in any way.
+But you submit a manuscript to the experiment AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you're
+uncomfortable with any aspect of this experiment, please don't participate.
+
+XMACRO presently expands the following primitives. (There are a few
+obvious omissions such as \Afterassigmnent that will be added in the future.)

+Note that these are in uppercase. In most cases, lower-case versions will

+only in upper case are indicated by (*). However, in some cases you might
+want to use the -t option, but pass a few lower-case primitives unchanged
+to the output file. To prevent XMACRO from expanding a primitive such as
+\the, say ``\undef\the''.
+
+Suggestions are welcome. If you think this utility is a good idea, lobby
+the APS and AIP:
+
+ AIP (Christopher Hamlin): hamlin mis@aps.org
+ APS (Peggy Sutherland): peggys@aip.org

+Subject: Revised date/place: TeX for non-American languages;
+ MF in theory and practice.
+
+I am sorry to have to announce that the proposed UK-TuG Conference in Glasgow
+will not be going ahead as planned, primarily for financial reasons. However,
+the conference _will_ take place, but at an alternative venue and time which I
+hope will prove attractive to you. The conference is now scheduled to take
+place at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (`The Country Campus of the
+University of London') during Spring, when the campus is at its best and most
+attractive.
+
+The actual dates are April 6th--8th, with the same programme as previously
+announced; April 6th is reserved for travelling, registration and the
+Conference dinner; April 7th will consist of a series of talks (with plenty of
+time for discussion) from an internationally famous panel of invited speakers,
+including Dominik Wujastyk (who together with Graham Toal is responsible for
+the authoritative UK hyphenation patterns, and who is also a Sanskrit scholar),
+Bernard Gaulle (until recently president of GUTenberg, the French-speaking TeX
+Users' Group, and an authority on good French typographic practice), and Yannis
+Haralambous (who is the author of ScholarTeX, and a renowned authority on
+MetaFont).
+
+On April 8th, two concurrent MetaFont tutorials will take place, one on
+MetaFont in Theory, led by Yannis, and one on MetaFont in Practice. The former
+will be concerned with the design and implementation of new fonts through the
+medium of MetaFont, whilst the second will be more practical and aimed at
+answering questions such as ``how do I generate all the Computer Modern fonts
+at 600 dpi for my new laser printer?''.
+
+Royal Holloway and Bedford New College is situated conveniently close to London
+Heathrow Airport, and is also served by regular fast trains from London
+Waterloo (circa 30 minutes). Accommodation will be en-suite, and all meals will
+be included in the price.
+
+Further details (including price) will be issued as soon as the approximate
+numbers are known; please send a message to the address below if you are
+interested in attending this conference and wish to be kept informed. If you
+have already let me know that you intended to attend the Glasgow conference,
+please re-confirm for the RHBNC conference in order that I may accurately
+record likely numbers.

+
+
+ 14th Annual TeX Users Group Meeting July 26th - 30th, 1993
+
+***************************************************************************
+
+Aston University in Birmingham (United Kingdom) will be the venue for
+the 1993 TUG conference. Aston is the home of the `Aston Archive',
+one of the largest collections of electronic TeX paraphernalia. This
+is the first time that the annual meeting will have been held outside
+of North America.
+
+The location of the conference at one centre of the electronic web and
+its movement from North America encourage particular focus on the
+`world-wide' aspects of TeX, LaTeX and METAFONT. The marked rise in
+maturity of windowing systems (X Window system, Microsoft Windows,
+Macintosh, Atari, Amiga, etc.) also allows us to exploit more
+visually oriented methods in employing the TeX tools. It is hoped
+that there will be a contribution to the conference from the Didot
+project, further extending the range of topics to include digital
+typography and font creation.
+
+The conference will feature the normal paper presentations.
+Workshops, poster displays, courses, panels and `birds of a feather'
+sessions will also form integral components.
+
+Contributions are urgently sought in the following subject areas: -
+archives - electronic networks - formatting structured documents -
+LaTeX3 - graphical user interfaces to TeXware - non-English issues -
+non-Latin scripts - digital typography - editing structured documents
+- - styles - other typesetting systems - document views -

+
+Social details:
+
+The conference will take place on the Aston University campus in
+central Birmingham, with excellent travel connections. Birmingham is
+situated very conveniently for access to all parts of England,
+especially the Midlands areas including Stratford and Oxford, as well
+as much of Wales. Participants will be given details of local events
+and sightseeing suggestions, including a guide to the culinary treats
+offered by Birmingham's multi-ethnic society.
+
+Social events will include dinners, receptions, and a mystery trip to
+an unexpected face of Birmingham. Accompanying persons will be helped
+to have a rewarding time in the area, and will also be offered a
+beginners' course in TeX; this course is available as well to those
+who would like a crash course in TeX prior to the conference proper.
+
+The approximate cost of attendance at the conference will be 100
+pounds, or 250 pounds including accommodation and meals. The normal
+accommodation will be on campus in the University residences. Those
+wishing to book outside hotel accommodation, or executive
+accommodation on campus, will find details on the booking form.
+
+The normal accommodation provided will be on campus in the University
+residences, but alternative arrangements (e.g. for executive
+accommodation on campus, or hotel accommodation) are also possible;
+full details of these and other options are given on the booking form
+which is available upon request.
+
+Full computer facilities, including electronic mail and network
+contacts, will be available to participants. The rich holdings of the
+UK TeX Archive will, of course, be easily accessible.

+\bigskip
+
+Aston University in Birmingham (United Kingdom) will be the venue for
+the 1993 TUG conference. Aston is the home of the `Aston
+Archive', one of the largest collections of electronic
+\TeX\ paraphernalia. This is the first time that the annual
+meeting will have been held outside of North America.
+
+The {\bf location} of the conference at one centre of the electronic
+web and its movement from North America encourage particular focus on
+the `world-wide' aspects of \TeX, \LaTeX\ and \MF{}\null. The marked rise
+in maturity of windowing systems (X Window system, Microsoft Windows,
+Macintosh, Atari, Amiga, etc.)\ also allows us to exploit more
+visually oriented methods in employing the \TeX\ tools. It is hoped that
+there will be a contribution to the conference from the Didot project,
+further extending the range of topics to include digital typography
+and font creation.
+
+The {\bf conference} will feature the normal paper presentations.
+Workshops, poster displays, courses, panels and `birds of a feather'
+sessions will also form integral components.
+
+{\bf Contributions} are urgently sought in the following subject
+areas:\hfil\break
+\ignorespaces\Dot archives\Dot electronic networks\Dot formatting structured

+Participants will be given details of local events and sightseeing
+suggestions, including a guide to the culinary treats offered by
+Birmingham's multi-ethnic society.
+
+Social events will include dinners, receptions, and a mystery trip
+to an unexpected face of Birmingham. Accompanying persons will be
+helped to have a rewarding time in the area, and will also be offered
+a beginners' course in \TeX; this course is available as well to those
+who would like a crash course in \TeX\ prior to
+the conference proper.
+
+The approximate cost of attendance at the conference will be \pounds
+100, or \pounds 250 including accommodation and meals. The normal
+accommodation will be on campus in the University residences. Those
+wishing to book outside hotel accommodation, or executive accommodation
+on campus, will find details on the booking form.
+
+The normal accommodation provided will be on campus in the University
+residences, but alternative arrangements (e.g. for executive
+accommodation on campus, or hotel accommodation) are also possible;
+full details of these and other options are given on the booking form
+which is available upon request.
+
+Full computer facilities, including electronic mail and network
+contacts, will be available to participants. The rich holdings of the
+UK \TeX\ Archive will, of course, be easily accessible.

+Subject: MS Windows LaTeX tools available on FILESERV/Niord
+
+Mike Reid <mfreid@hkuxa.hku.hk> has been working with me on correcting some
+aspects of my VMS LATEX.HLP file for inclusion in the VMS Help Librarian.
+The *real* meat of this announcement, though, is that Mike has ported this
+file to a format compatible with Microsoft Windows (which is about the
+nicest help utility around), as well as provided a few other utilities for
+the Windows environment which may be of interest to users of LaTeX.
+Attached are (1) Mike's announcement, (2) the FILESERV description file for
+these packages, and (3) very brief information on how to retrieve the
+updated VMS Help file.
+
+Regards and thanks to Mike for his efforts on these projects, George

+MS-Windows LaTeX Help and microEMACS Interface
+
+January 14, 1993.
+
+Michael F. Reid <mfreid@hkuxa.hku.hk>
+>From April 1993 <mfr@phys.canterbury.ac.nz>
+
+I have uploaded:
+ LATEXHLP.ZIP A LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows
+ VMS2WINH.ZIP Conversion from VMS help to Windows Help
+ QH2WINH.ZIP Conversion from QHELP to Windows Help
+ MEWLTX10.ZIP microEMACS for Windows LaTeX interface
+to Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), directory [FILESERV.MSWIN-LATEX]
+
+The LaTeX help file is a translation of a VAX/VMS help file collated by
+George Greenwade. The conversion program is in the VMS2WINH.ZIP file, in
+case you want to recompile the file with your own additions.
+
+NOTE: You need the MicroSoft Help Compiler (HC) to recompile the help
+file. This comes with many Windows programming toolkits.
+
+A conversion from QHELP (a DOS freeware help engine) to Windows help is
+in the QH2WINH.ZIP file. This is similar to the vms2winh program, and is
+posted here because I know Peter Flynn is working on a TeX help system
+based on QHELP.
+
+##### LaTeX microEMACS Interface #####
+
+The MEWLTX10.ZIP file contains code for a microEMACS for Windows
+Interface. This allows you to insert LaTeX commands, insert template
+files, run TeX processes, parse errors in log files, call up help, and
+so on, using the menus. This is still under development, so I would
+appreciate positive or negative comments.
+***************************************************************************
+ MSWIN-LATEX
+ -----------
+The MSWIN-LATEX package includes UUENCODEd ZIP archives containing Michael
+Reid's LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows and microEMACS for MicroSoft
+Windows LaTeX interface.
+
+To retrieve the 3 part distribution of the LaTeX help file, include:
+ SENDME MSWIN-LATEX.LATEXHLP*
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
+To retrieve the 2 part distribution of the microEMACS for Windows LaTeX
+interface, include:
+ SENDME MSWIN-LATEX.MEWLTX10*
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV.
+
+The ZIP files upon which this distribution is based, as well two other
+utilities created by Reid are available for anonymous ftp retrieval on
+Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.MSWIN-LATEX]:
+ LATEXHLP.ZIP A LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows
+ VMS2WINH.ZIP Conversion from VMS help to Windows Help
+ QH2WINH.ZIP Conversion from QHELP to Windows Help
+ MEWLTX10.ZIP microEMACS for Windows LaTeX interface
+
+The VMS help file is available from FILESERV (in 4 parts) by including:
+ SENDME VMS-LATEX-HELP
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV. The file LATEX.HLP (VMS Help
+Librarian file) is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord in
+[FILESERV.VMS-LATEX-HELP].

+From: Martin Ward <Martin.Ward@durham.ac.uk>
+Subject: Pandora LaTeX style file
+
+Enclosed is a style file for LaTeX which uses the Pandora and Euler fonts
+instead of Computer Modern. I find the heavier weight of Pandora ideal for
+screen previewing - you get a much more readable screen, with only slightly
+fewer characters per page. Note that this requires the new font selection
+scheme to be installed.
+
+Comments/enhancements are welcome. Has anyone created a caps/small caps
+virtual font for Pandora? Or any other design sizes?
+
+ Martin.

+% Now we define the basic {\em math groups\/} for the new version,
+% i.e.\ the groups 0 to 3.
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler{0}
+ {pnr}{m}{n}
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler{1}
+ {eur}{m}{n}
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler{2}
+ {cmsy}{m}{n}
+
+% We also add a special math group to the euler version which
+% contains the redesigned math symbols. Since we don't assume that
+% this version has to live in coexistance with the `normal' or `bold'
+% version we don't add this group to the other versions.
+\new@mathgroup\euex@group
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler\euex@group
+ {euex}{m}{n}
+%
+% To set up the math version properly we have to reset some
+% \verb+\mathcode+s. We have to take, for example, digits in math
+% from the math group number one, i.e.\ from the euler cursive font.
+% If we do this globally switching back to, let's say, \LaTeX{}s
+% normal version will produces an undesired effect: we will then get
+% oldstyle numerals in math.
+%
+% We will leave this problem open at the moment until there is more
+% experience with this new font selection scheme. After all, it does
+% not seem a very good idea to use such incompatible math versions
+% together in one document.
+%
+% So here we are, re-arranging some of the internal tables:
+\mathcode`\0="7130
+\mathcode`\1="7131
+\mathcode`\2="7132
+\mathcode`\3="7133
+\mathcode`\4="7134
+\mathcode`\5="7135
+\mathcode`\6="7136
+\mathcode`\7="7137
+\mathcode`\8="7138
+\mathcode`\9="7139
+%
+% And here are some example for using the symbols from the special
+% extension font. We use \verb+\hexnumber@+ to get the unknown assignment to
+% \verb+\euex@group+ as a hexadecimal number into the macro \verb+\@tempa+.
+\edef\@tempa{\hexnumber@\euex@group}
+\mathchardef\intop="1\@tempa 52
+\mathchardef\ointop="1\@tempa 48
+\mathchardef\sum="1\@tempa 50
+\mathchardef\prod="1\@tempa 51
+%
+% Since numbers for footnotes are text numbers and not math
+% formulas we prefere shapes comming from Concrete roman (like
+% 12345) instead of $12345$. So we have to change the footnote mark
+% generation to avoid using math mode.
+\def\@makefnmark{\raise 1ex\hbox{\scriptsize\@thefnmark}}
+%
+%
+\mathversion{euler}
+
+
+%% switch to Pandora Roman family:
+\family{pnr}\selectfont%
+\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pnr}%
+
+%% Make the msam and msbm fonts available to the "euler" math version:
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler\msa@group{msa}{m}{n}%
+\define@mathgroup\mv@euler\msb@group{msb}{m}{n}%

+%%% docstring = "This file is the main file for the ucthesis
+%%% style, which is intended to meet the requirements
+%%% for University of California Ph.D. dissertations.
+%%% It is based on the standard report.sty as
+%%% modified by Mittelbach and Schopf in Jan 1992.
+%%% The primary differences are (1) the use of pseudo-
+%%% double-spacing, except in certain special
+%%% environments; and (2) the use of a 6 inch line
+%%% with 4em paragraph indentation.
+%%%
+%%% I know of no bugs in this implementation,
+%%% but would be happy to hear of any problems
+%%% that arise with it.
+%%%
+%%% This version fixes a bug in the previous
+%%% version of 20 Jun 1988. The bug was that
+%%% "draft" optional mode didn't work because of
+%%% problems in handling optional arguments.
+%%% This file does not seem to work with earlier
+%%% versions of LaTeX (pre-Jan 1992).
+
+I think I'm just about caught up with submissions and apologize for the
+delay in getting this into a public area. I have placed the files so they
+are accessible from FILESERV as well as from Niord. Also, the prior
+version of ucthesis.sty (STY.UCTHESIS*) has been removed from our style
+directory. The description file from FILESERV follows.
+
+Regards and my thanks to Ethan for this update, George
+
+ UCTHESIS
+ --------
+The UCTHESIS package includes the LaTeX style files and options which are
+consistent with the requirements for theses and dissertations at the
+University of California. The files in this package supercede prior
+versions of ucthesis.sty and are consistent with distributions of LaTeX
+dated January 1992 or later.
+
+The package is provided as a 2 part UUENCODEd ZIP archive. To retrieve the
+package via e-mail, include:
+ SENDME UCTHESIS
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
+Anonymous ftp users may retrieve these files as a ZIP archive or as a
+compressed Unix tar archive from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the
+directory [FILESERV.UCTHESIS].
