+For double column A-size formatting in conjunction with plain.tex I am
+presently using these simple-minded macros:

+% end doublecol.tex
+
+These macros allows changing from one to two-columns back and forth
+using \begindoublecolumns ... \enddoublecolumns.
+The main problem with this simple approach to column balancing
+is that insertions such as topinsert, midinsert, pageinsert,
+footnotes, etc. are not handled correctly. Thus it is of limited utility
+for preparing two-column camera-ready technical papers, which require
+substantial manual tweeking.
+
+Question: are there 2-col macros with a similar simplicity and
+functionality, compatible with plain.tex, and which handle
+insertions correctly?
+
+When I posed this question on Jan 1992 I got two replies, for which
+I want the again thank the senders. One set of macros handled
+insertions correctly but unfortunately did not allow 1-2-1 column
+switchback, which is important in camera ready papers for placement
+of wide Figures and Tables. The other reply included multicolumn
+macros as part of a complex package and I was unable to work through it
+to extract what I needed in a reasonable time.
+
+I believe such a macro set would be useful to many technical paper
+writers; therefore I encourage wizards to post solutions within
+the stated simplicity and functionality constraints.

+I have been trying to figure out how I can print Boldface Greek characters.
+I have been able to print some of the upper case characters in bold but none

+Subject: UnixTeX
+
+This message may be addressed to a minority of the readers of this
+bulletin, but it is a significant and growing minority.
+
+I must regretfully announce that under present revenue projections,
+UnixTeX is technically bankrupt, having drifted into default on
+at least two occasions in the past six months. We have a grand
+total of two orders for 1993. We will go on as long as we are
+allowed to, but that may not be very long.
+
+UnixTeX is not supported by the University of Washington. Quite the
+reverse. The University of Washington seizes a substantial percentage
+of all UnixTeX income for ``overhead'', and since that ``overhead''
+must be paid before all other obligations, we will probably be shut
+down absolutely when the next assessment for ``overhead'' comes due.
+
+At that time, all consultation services by email or by telephone will
+cease, and all Unix-specific tape distributions will also cease. An
+FTP archive of the UnixTeX distribution will be made available until
+University of Washington accountants require its removal, but it will
+be frozen in its present state. There will be no further upgrades or
+corrections to this file. It may be that some site, possibly in
+Europe, can take over the work of tape distribution, but that will be
+out of our hands.
+
+For four years I have predicted at TUG meetings that free,
+unrestricted FTP distribution of UnixTeX would lead to this result. A
+few generous supporters, and an unexpected increase in tape orders
+kept it from happening last year, but the crisis has been accelerated
+this year by several major hardware failures.
+
+The nine-year old SUN-1 and eight-year old SUN-2 on which the
+distribution was resident have become too unstable to be of any
+further use. CPUs, disks, controllers and our last 9-track drive have
+all failed. UnixTeX put together a SUN-3 server out of second-hand
+and salvage parts, and this was the source of all tape distributions
+for two years. But the cost of this new hardware eliminated any
+balance that UnixTeX had in reserve. The 600 MB SMD disk on that
+machine has now failed, and in the inauguration-day windstorm, a power
+surge blew the formatting board on our last tape drive.
+
+The source of our financial problem lies in the fact that
+four-fifths of the calls for compilation assistance and similar
+support are now from sites which picked up the software by FTP. While
+a handful of FTP users have been touchingly generous -- sending in
+amounts from their own pockets, and while we acknowledge that many
+have helped in other ways -- taking the time to summarize system-specific
+problems encountered on varieties of machines we have no access to, the
+majority of sites that retrieve UnixTeX via FTP benefit without cost
+to themselves, from a service supported in the main by TeX users who
+have absolutely no FTP access and who therefore must obtain the
+distribution via tape orders. We strongly support the principles of
+the Free Software Foundation; and as long as we are around, we shall
+honor our association with those principles by continuing to make all
+elements of the distribution available for FTP. But as the distribution's
+survival rests with the ever-diminishing number of sites that order
+the distribution on tapes directly from us, and not by FTP, we must warn
+that the associated work of organization, documentation and first-level
+consultancy is probably about to cease.
+
+We have two proposals for interim support in preparation now, but it
+is all too likely that we will not be around even if those proposals
+succeed. Supposing that we do get through the immediate crisis,
+however, if UnixTeX is worth keeping alive, it will have to survive on
+some sort of subscription system, like National Public Radio. It is
+improper to solicit funds even for a non-profit activity over the
+Internet, so we cannot do that here. It is, however, worth noting
+that UnixTeX survived last year in part on some donations that were
+made to the University of Washington and specifically earmarked for
+the support of UnixTeX. It is our understanding that such donations
+provide a tax exemption.

+Subject: Rotated tables and equations numbered by page numbers
+
+I would like to be able to include some tables, horizontally on a
+page in a latex document. I would also like to be able to include
+the caption horizontally and use a label. Can anyone tell me how
+this can be done? Thank you.
+
+Also (this is a repeat question that I thought I might try one more
+time), I would like to be able to number equations, theorems, figures,
+etc as "chapter.page.number on the page". It's close. If you use
+the pagenumber in there, most often the first equation on a page will
+be numbered with the previous page number (and in the .aux file, it
+does know what page it's one). Does anyone out there know how to
+do this. Thank you.

+
+DVIWindo shows the preview (in either TIFF or EPSI) format when an inserted
+EPS figure comes with a preview (for printing to PS printers it passes
+through the actual EPS data, of course).
+
+To use EPSF.TEX and PSFIG.TEX, though, you need to get them to step
+over the binary header when looking for the %%BoundingBox in the
+case of TIFF format previews. Contact me for modifications that do this.

+Subject: substituting PS fonts for CM with dvitps; possible?
+
+Having generated a dvi file after including the following in the
+preamble of a latex file:
+
+\font\hlv=psmhlv at 12pt
+\font\hlvb=psmhlvb at 12pt
+\font\hlvo=psmhlvo at 12pt
+\font\hlvbo=psmhlvbo at 12pt
+
+I get incorrect font substitution by dvitps when trying to print it.
+I believe the problem is missing .pk files, but I'm not sure what to
+do since PS is Adobe proprietary. Has anyone had luck with
+ghostscript from the FSF or should I use some other dvi to ps
+software. I often see posted info about dvips, a PD or copylefted
+program which sounds really good, but when I downloaded TeX from
+washington.edu, all I saw was dvitps, which has been great, except I
+couldn't get the full manual as several tex include/input files were
+missing and the author does not respond to email. I would like to
+install a more robust version if possible. I'm open to suggestions as
+well as info on how difficult it would be to build dvips from scratch.
+Note: I have the latest version of TeX and LaTeX, which were something
+of pain to build, but it was worth it.
+
+There is often a delay when posting responses to this mailing list as
+I only receive a digest every once in a while, so please email me
+directly and I will post a summary. Muchas gracias (thank you in
+Spanish).

+I'm trying to get access to Gothic or Old English fonts in TeX or postscript
+(preferably TeX) in order to try to imitate Duke letterhead.

+Subject: LaTeX macros for classified reports
+
+I'd like to be able to generate classified documents using LaTeX. In
+the archives I have found only one relevant macro, secret.sty. It
+addresses paragraph marking, notably for the continuation of a
+paragraph onto the next page. I don't think its solution (putting the
+paragraph marking in the left margin) is very attractive, and
+fortunately we've been relieved of that requirement.
+
+However, secret.sty doesn't address {\em page} marking at all. Has
+anyone developed macros to generate appropriate markings at beginning
+of each paragraph, and also at the top and bottom of the page (but
+perhaps not for the continuation of a paragraph)? Of course, the page
+classification should be the highest of any of the classifications of
+the paragraphs on the page, {\em including} any continuation from a
+previous page, and any float (figure or table).
+
+Thanks.

+In <00966A30.E83D3BE0.31388@SHSU.edu> (comp.text.tex, Mon, 18 Jan 1993
+11:39:08 GMT), Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl> posted his newest version
+(1.1; 23 September 1992) of fancyheadings.sty and its documentation. This
+is the style I am constantly preaching about on the network to allow users
+to customize page headers and page footers (with excellent examples!;
+again, if you don't have this style, GET IT). As this version is not (more
+correctly, does not appear to be) readily available on the standard
+archives, I am attempting to post this to as wide an audience as possible.
+
+I have taken the liberty of placing the documentation file
+(fancyheadings.doc, as posted to comp.text.tex) after the style file macros
+with an \endinput (the idea is to keep the documentation within the style
+itself for reference purposes). This combined file is now available at
+SHSU and may be retrieved via e-mail by including:
+ SENDME STY.FANCYHEADINGS
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
+The file is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu
+(192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.STY]. Prior versions of the separated style

+Subject: New release of greektex
+
+A new version of greektex has been posted in the following two sites:
+
+ math.ucla.edu 128.97.4.254
+ in the directory pub/moschovakis/greektex
+
+ University of Stuttgart russoft server 129.69.1.12
+ in the directory tex/languages/greek/moschovakis
+
+greektex is a package of public domain programs which make it easy to
+use the well known Greek text fonts of Silvio Levy in Plain TeX or
+LaTeX with the full functionality of these sets of macros, exactly as
+we use them to process English files. In fact greektex understands
+files with mixed Greek and English text, so that it is particularly
+useful for the typesetting of Greek scientific class notes, articles
+and books: these typically contain many English words---names,
+references, scientific terms traditionally given in both Greek and
+English when first introduced, etc. Greektex can be installed in any
+system with a full TeX implemnetation and it contains all the necessary
+programs for creating mixed Greek-English files (pleasantly) on a PC
+with a VGA screen and (barely tolerably) on other machines.
+
+The most notable improvement over the first distribution of greektex
+two years ago is that the new system has a classical (polytoniko) mode
+in which classical Greek can be typeset with its full set of aspiration
+marks, accents, etc. The modern (monotoniko) mode has also been
+improved substantially, primarily by allowing friendlier typesetting of
+accented capitals, the diairesis and the Greek quotation marks (which
+have been added). The package includes a complete set of all preloaded
+and loaded-on-demand LaTeX fonts at 300 DPI, including the "Greek
+italic" font which now looks reasonably good. It also includes the
+complete set of metafont files and scaling programs used to produce
+these fonts, so that someone with a running version of METAFONT can
+compile them at any pointsize and resolution.
+
+The starting point for greektex is the fact that English and Greek are
+disjoint languages (no common letters in the internal coding), so their
+union can be considered as a single language: there is no confusion in
+hyphenation, for example, since no word is both Greek and English. The
+system simply replaces the Computer Modern fonts CMR, CMBX, etc. used
+by TeX by extended fonts GECMR, GECMBX, etc. which have exactly the
+same letters coded in the first 128 ASCII characters but incorporate
+the Greek letters in the high-bit ASCII characters >127. In doing this
+you do not change at all the guts of format files, so that e.g. it is
+easy to predict how greektex output of Greek LaTeX files will
+look---exactly like LaTeX output, with Greek letters. There is a
+conceptual simplicity to this, but also (and more to the point) it
+makes it possible to use existing systems of macros (like LaTeX and its
+many styles) on documents which contain mixed Greek and English with no
+conflicts. The greektex version of LaTeX has complete LaTeX
+functionality in the monononiko mode.
+
+The polytoniko mode requires the use of a set of macros which make some
+characters active and allow the "friendly" entering of aspiration
+marks, accents, etc. It also appears to enjoy complete LaTeX
+functionality (as far as I have been able to test it), it can jandle
+e.g. footnotes, tabbing, etc. It is clear, however, that reasonable
+care must be exercised: one cannot enter math mode while the
+\polytoniko command is in effect, for example, since the characters >,
+<, = and " are active---and do not have their usual, math meaning. The
+document greektex.doc explains in some detail the precautions needed to
+insure (essentially) full LaTeX functionality in the polytoniko mode.
+
+It has been argued that one cannot build a fully hyphenating system with
+both English and classical Greek using 256 character fonts, because the
+128 high-bit characters left free after English is coded do not suffice
+to code as ligatures all the combinations of letter+accent+aspiration
+mark needed by classical Greek. greektex solves this problem by coding
+the most commonly occuring combinations as ligatures and depending on the
+TeX \accent primitive for the rest. This works much better than one
+might think:
+
+ greektex applies the hyphenation algorithm to
+ all words which do not have either
+ (1) an aspirated peripvmenh or
+ (2) an accented letter with an iota subscript.
+
+The words in category (1) have at most two syllables and rarely need to
+be hyphenated, and there are just two few of those in category (2) to
+cause any problem. Since Greek hyphenation is governed by flexible and
+easy to code rules, it turns out that with this scheme, classical Greek
+is hyphenated by greektex at least as successfully as TeX hyphenates
+English.
+
+A complete description of the system is given in the README file
+and the manual "greektex.doc" included in the package. What follows is
+the INDEX of the package.
+

+
+In a message dated Fri, 22 Jan 93 09:49:39 -0800 addressed to the
+ELLHNIKA Distribution List for ???????? TeX Users <ELLHNIKA@EARN.DHDURZ1>,
+Yiannis Moschovakis <ynm@EDU.UCLA.MATH> announced a new version of
+greektex.
+
+In the UK TeX Archive at Aston University, Moschovakis' original INDEX
+and README files have been renamed to 00CONTENTS.TXT and 00README.TXT
+repsectively. The file pkunzip.exe has NOT been put into the archive, because
+it was felt that anyone using the archive who was PC-based would already have a
+suitable program for unzipping the files. Implementations of unzip for other
+architectures also exist.
+
+All binary files are stored, as is necessary in this archive, as
+variable-length records, without carriage control, and with a record length of
+512 bytes. Access through NIFTP over Janet can transfer these files in binaary
+mode to Vax and non-Vax alike; transfers to a Vax using /CODE=FAST wil result
+in a file of the same format, which will need to be changed to fixed-length
+records by means of the VMS CONVERT utility. Access by anonymous ftp over the
+Internet, by non-Vaxen, will succeed; users of intelligent VMS-based
+implementations of ftp, such as MultiNet's, will also have to apply the CONVERT
+utility.

+
+My thanks to Stefan A. Muehlenweg <muehlenw@samhh.hanse.de> for pointing
+out the PM-TeX and EPMTeX packages for OS/2, which have been added to our
+archives. These are imported from the OS/2 ftp archives at
+ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Attached are the description files.
+
+- --George
+
+ PMTEX
+ -----
+The PMTEX package includes the files for Guillaume Schiltz's PM-TeX (v.
+2.0; 5 December 1992). PM-TeX is A TeX-Shell for OS/2 Presentation-Manager
+to control programs used everyday for the TeX typesetting system such as
+editors, TeX-interpreters, previewer and printerdrivers. PM-TeX is
+conceived to maintain the emTeX-programs but can easily be configured for
+other TeX-systems. The configuration of TeX can be performed by using the
+setting-windows of PM-TeX. PM-TeX opens for each program a new session to
+which can be switched from the main menu. So concurrency and easy support
+of full-screen sessions is given. DOS and OS/2 programs are supported.
+DOS-Programs are executed in a DOS-window.
+
+The files are distributed in a 2-part UUENCODEd ZIP archive. To retrieve
+these
+files, include:
+ SENDME PMTEX
+in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
+The ZIP file, PMTEX-2_0.ZIP is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
+Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.PMTEX].

+Subject: TeX font naming scheme
+
+I have released version 1.3 of ``my'' font naming scheme for TeX fonts.
+You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/fontname.tar.Z.
+
+I will also send it to you by email if you cannot ftp.
+
+It is in Texinfo format, so you will need the TeX macros in
+the file texinfo.tex (available with most GNU programs) to be able to
+print it; the directory pub/tex/fontname has a texinfo.tex, as well as
+all the individual files.
+
+The rest of that directory contains files showing the naming scheme
+applied to Adobe, Linotype, Monotype, Computer Modern, and AMS fonts.
+
+The changes since version 1.2 are primarily just additional fonts, and a
+few additional variants.
+
+I am happy to receive additions, criticisms, or other comments.
