+Subject: Re: C to TeX, anyone? (I will write it; suggestions wellcome)
+
+I'm going to write a TeX macro package that allows you to
+directly include your C source in the document.
+
+The features I want to include are:
+
+* Different styles (font etc.) can be specified for string
+ constants and comments.
+
+* Comments can be written in TeX using math and whatever you
+ like. Multi-line comments are formatted with margins
+ depending on the context.
+
+* Tabs are expanded.
+
+* I don't think the readability of a C-program improves if
+ the keywords of the language are highlighted, but if
+ someone tells me he would prefer this, it can be included
+ easily.
+
+Unfortunately I can't start writing this until at least the
+end of May. The positive side is that I can consider
+suggestions from the net. So if you have any features you
+want included in this package feel free to contact me.
+

+P.S.: The package will be free of course.

+Subject: Re: "Papyrus" and "Reference Manager"
+
+Kudos to David Rhead for pointing out what to me has seemed to be
+a persistent problem--TeX/LaTeX interface with personal bibliographic
+systems. I use RefMan (Reference Manager) because I write medical
+articles, and it allows direct importation of references from bibliographic
+retrieval systems such as BRS Colleague. This has caused me some difficulty,
+because I prefer to use LaTeX (for obvious reasons) in writing the
+articles themselves. Right now, I am using my own, admittedly suboptimal
+hack:
+
+I keep 2 sets of databases, my RefMan databases, and my BibTeX databases.
+Article "codes" are consistent in both. (Ugly, because a numerical code
+is assigned by RefMan such as 1423, which has nothing to do with the
+content of the article. I would prefer "readable" codes such as
+Goldman:CardDeath93 but I am too lazy to change my well over 1400 RefMan
+articles, growing by leaps and bounds every day.)
+
+I have a journal style in RefMan, which I use to print out a transfer file
+of articles (ASCII) that I select to port over to BibTeX. This style divides
+the article information with colons (:).
+
+I wrote a simple C program to convert that ASCII file to BibTeX format.
+
+This way, I can still use the database retrieval features of RefMan to find
+the article and then cite it in my LaTeX text, which is really handy. I
+can also import articles into RefMan from say, BRS Colleague or Medline,
+and then (sort of) directly transfer them to a BibTeX file.
+
+If anyone is interested in the C program, I'll give it to them. If anyone
+has a better way of doing this with RefMan, PLEASE let me know.

+Subject: Marginal asterisks in LaTeX
+
+
+I am a novice LaTex user and I need some help. I need marignal
+asterisks for la tex documents. I want to be able to turn asterisks on
+and off with a command an d I want a specified footnote on each page
+that contains one or more asterisks in the margin. For
+instance after a command like:
+
+\asteriskson{the footnote goes here}
+
+Each line in the text that appears after this command would contain a
+marginal asterisk in the right hand margin. Asterisks in the margin
+adjacent to figures, table, equations, etc. are also required. Then a
+command like:
+
+\asterisksoff
+
+would turn them of (no more asterisks would appear in the marginal column).
+
+The footnote would say something like:
+
+"Disclosure of information on lines specifically identified by an
+asterisk (*) is not permitted"
+
+Does some macro to do this already exist? Is what I need properly

+Subject: Hungarian accents and Hyphenation
+
+[This message is converted from WPS-PLUS to ASCII]
+
+
+ Using TeX for the Hungarian Language
+ Accented letters and hyphenation
+ Peter Verhas
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+All accented letters we use in Hungarian are handled by TeX without
+modification thoguh it is inconvinient to type \' , \" or \H{} each time
+for an accented letter. There are many conversion tools to ease the use
+of the accented letters. These tools convert the extended character set
+to the usual TeX notation. There is another approach to use accented
+letter. This changes the fonts to have those accented letters in the font
+file, and modifies plain.tex or latex.tex to have these characters (code
+is larger than 127) catcode letter.
+
+The Hungarian hyphenation can also be handled by TeX without modification
+since it has the \discretionary macro. Such hyphenations are common and
+frequent in Hungarian. If consonants like sz (which sound like s in
+English) or cs (which is something like tsch in the name Tschebishev) are
+doubled have the form ssz or ccs, except when the hyphenation breaks
+them. In such case they are sz-sz or cs-cs. Such hyphenation can NOT
+automatic handled by hyphenation tables, and those tables that are in use
+usually prevent hyphenation at such places. Typing the discretionary
+macro for each such hyphenation is also very time and effort consuming.
+
+The solution that some of us use since few years, and which might be
+interesting for Hungarian writing people from practical, and for others
+from the intellectual point of view is a preprocessor that inserts these
+discretionary hyphenations and does the conversion for the accented
+letters. The program I would like to introduce does more in fact.
+
+2. HiOn, the Hungarian TeX preprocessor
+=======================================
+
+HiOn is a TeX preprocessor that makes two major tasks:
+
+1.) It transforms Hungarian accented letters to their TeX notation.
+
+2.) It inserts the standard soft hyphenation string according to the
+Hungarian grammar rules at all possible places.
+
+The first task ease the generation of the source files allowing user to
+use the extended character set of his system (which can be IBM PC
+character set, ISO Latin II or any user defined code table).
+
+The second prevents bad hyphenations or overfull, underfull hboxes
+depending on the actual TeX setting. To do this HiOn implements a fast,
+rule based hyphenation algorithm. This base algorithm is extended with an
+exception dictionary since version 1.7, which is the current version.
+
+HiOn reads the source file (default extension is HUN) and generates a TeX
+file (default extension is TEX). This way the TeX files act as temporary
+files just like DVI files. The generated TeX does not contain 8 bit
+characters (unless user requests special accented character handling)
+which is transparent to all mailing systems and need not depend on
+particular TeX macro set.
+
+This way HiOn can benefit TeX's discretionary capabilities for
+hyphenating words which contain compound consonants. HiOn hyphenates
+words like ``processzor'' correct to the form
+``pro-ce\discretionary{ssz}{sz-}{sz}or'' which tells TeX to break the
+word as
+
+o pro-cesszor
+ or
+o procesz-szor.
+
+Such hyphenation rule can be found in German as well (ck hyphenated as
+k-k).
+
+Using the expanded hyphenation rules introduced in version 1.1 HiOn can
+hyphenate those verbs that have alternation prefix like ``megenni'' which
+hyphenates as ``meg-enni''. HiOn checks the whole word not only the
+prefix as the prefixes themselves do not guarantee being
+verb-alternation-prefix. Therefore it knows ``el-ad\'o'' and also knows
+``e-le-f\'ant''. HiOn also know by rules such weird hyphenations like
+
+o malac-s\'ag
+o meg-gy\'urni
+o megy-gyes.
+
+As introduced in version 1.7 HiOn uses an exception dictionary and
+correctly hyphenates all compound words that appear in the Hungarian
+dictionary: ``Magyar \'Ertelmez\H{}o K\'ezisz\'ot\'ar''.
+
+The exception dictionary has an ASCII and a compressed binary form. Using
+the ASCII form users can extend the exception dictionary with words which
+are not common but need hyphenation. A typical example is a long chemical
+name. The binary form was designed and optimized for size and speed. On
+special request HiOn converts the ASCII form to binary and this way the
+extended dictionary can get into effect.
+
+HiOn is highly configurable, has approximately 30 options to tailor to
+the actual needs. As version 1.7 HiOn should HYPHENATE ALL HUNGARIAN
+WORDS CORRECT. Even if it failed in some cases users can include words in
+the exception dictionary.
+
+HiOn was written and continuously developed during the last three years
+in computer language C in a structured manner and compiles and has the
+same behavior under MS-DOS, VMS and UNIX.
+
+HiOn as a shareware product is available in Hungary in source code and in
+MS-DOS executable format with full documentation in Hungarian and
+exception dictionary in ASCII and in binary format.
+
+NONPROFIT and EDUCATION usage of HiOn only requires registration. (Some
+more minor requirements are included in the User's Guide.)
+
+PROFIT-ORIENTED usage of HiOn requires special agreement with the author.
+
+A book was already published prepared using HiOn V1.2 and some other
+books are under publishing. There is one registered, profit-oriented user
+of HiOn in Hungary.
+
+3. Conclusion
+
+ With HiOn the usage of TeX (and LaTeX or any other macro package) was
+tailored to the special needs of the Hungarian language and it has the
+same felxibility and capability as in English.

+
+
+\documentstyle{article}
+\pagestyle{empty}
+\begin{document}
+\begin{centering}
+{\Large A table of negative magsteps}\\
+\end{centering}
+\vspace {.25in}
+\noindent The increasing availability of outline fonts, especially
+those licensed for general use through the X Consortium
+(Charter, Courier, Utopia), and the growing number of \TeX-related
+utilities for printing and screen preview of documents using
+these fonts, requires the use of some rather interesting magstep values.
+
+There is usually only one design size for an outline font, and the
+\TeX{} user must depend on scaling for all point sizes, in the
+hope that font hinting will supply some of the non-linear effects
+which ought to distinguish a 5-point from a 10-point font.
+A PostScript or Ghostscript engine will deal with the scaling
+implicitly, but {\tt xdvi} and other display programs which depend on
+rasterized font images need to have them supplied by some sort of
+conversion program. The {\tt ps2pk} utility, available through a number
+of servers on the internet, is a good tool for creating PK fonts
+from type1 outlines. It comes with several associated programs,
+including {\tt mag} which calculates appropriate dpi values at various
+screen and printer resolutions. As long as your concern is
+only with large fonts, this utility is very straightforward, but
+when you need to create 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9-point images from
+a 10-point design master, the values are a bit less obvious.
+To shrink fonts you have to use negative magstep values and
+fortunately the {\tt mag} program is designed to permit this.
+
+Here is a table of negative magsteps, for the full range
+of sizes from 9-point down to 5-point. Values are given for the
+true magstep series and also for integer pointsizes.
+Arguments can be made for choosing either series.
+
+
+$$
+\begin{tabular}{|c|c||c|c||c|}
+\hline
+\multicolumn{2}{|c||}{Magstep Series}&\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{Pointsize Series}\\
+\hline
+magstep&300 dpi&magstep&300 dpi&pointsize \\
+value&value&value&value&reduction \\
+\hline
+- -0.50&274&-0.58&270&$9/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -1.00&250&-1.22&240&$8/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -2.00&208&-1.95&210&$7/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -3.00&174&-2.80&180&$6/10$ \\
+\hline
+- -4.00&144&-3.80&150&$5/10$ \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+$$
+
+\noindent The next magstep, $-5.00$ would bring the values into complete
+agreement, at a dpi value of 120, but 4-point fonts are not much use
+for anything. Two additional values which have sometimes come in
+useful are $-0.6 (-0.63)$ for an $8/9$ reduction, and $-0.8333
+(-0.85)$ for a $6/7$ reduction. The first value, incidentally, is
+half a magstep, and the second is the reciprocal.

+Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: 'Computer Modern' Blackboard fonts available
+
+Hi all,
+
+There has been one or two weeks ago a discussion on this list about 'bold
+blackboard' fonts: which are available and what are they like.
+
+The answer has been (as far as I understood)
+ - the AMS fonts msbm (older version msym) are intended for use with Times
+and aren't truly what a mathematician expects (the stress is on both stems
+instead of being on only the left one).
+ - Alan Jeffrey's bbold fonts are sans-serif ones, with (almost) no
+possibility of design variations for, say, a bold variant.
+That was all, and in particular nothing for use with Computer Modern.
+
+I was already working at that time on the project of changing the codes of
+romanu.mf, romanl.mf and other files to add a 'Blackboard' variant to
+Computer Modern.
+
+ IT IS NOW READY !!!
+
+The whole package contains five 'main' files:
+ - blbbase.mf (the 'base') contains the supplementary definitions needed
+for double stems etc..
+ - blbord.mf (the 'driver') is fairly simpleand only makes the necessary calls.
+ - blbordu.mf (based on romanu.mf): programs for uppercase letters.
+ - blbordl.mf (based on romanl.mf): programs for lowercase letters.
+ - blbordsp.mf (based on romand.mf and punct.mf): programs for the digits~1
+and~2 and for parentheses and brackets.
+
+There is also a whole lot of parameter files that are (almost) the same as
+those provided by DEK.
+
+For most of them, the only differences are
+- - change 'cmbase' for 'blbbase' on line~2
+- - change 'generate roman' for 'generate blbord' on last line
+- - add two extra parameters (interspace# and cap_interspace#).
+
+Since I do not have (yet) any anon. ftp server here to put these files, I
+can e-mail the files, but I would be very honoured if someone gave me an
+address where to put all these things.
