+The CTAN archives contain a verbatim.sty file that you can include in
+your \documentstyle line:
+
+ \documentstyle[verbatim...]{whatever}
+
+This style includes a \verbatiminput command that does what you want:
+

+Subject: Problems with dvipsk
+
+Hi!
+
+ Out of extreme exasperation, I'm finally calling on all of you
+for help. I apparently installed LaTeX 2.09 and dvipsk 5.55a successfully
+on a Sun SPARCstation 1 (this is my third or fourth attempt, each with
+different difficulties). All of the problems I have had seem to branch
+from not having the correct fonts, or incorrectly installing the right
+fonts. In this case, Metafont can not seem to build a font from the fonts
+already installed...
+
+First I constructed the .dvi file using latex (apparently with no problems,
+and none mentioned in the .log file):
+

+
+Then I attempted using dvipsk at debugging level 15 to translate the .dvi
+file to postscript and direct it to our Apple Postscript printer. The error
+you see below resulted and absolutely nothing was printed. (Used level 15
+to show where basic input files and fonts under lib.tar.gz were installed).

+Subject: CTAN archives
+
+In the CTAN archives, each directory has a file, 00Contents, which
+appears to be regenerated every night. It would be nice if all of the
+directories of the CTAN archives didn't have their modified date
+changed every night as a result of generating this 00Contents file.
+
+For example, when I connect to an archive that I haven't connected to
+in a while, I do a "dir -t" to see which directories have recent
+modified dates, which probably have something new in them that I might
+be interested in. With the way things are with the CTAN archives I
+can't do this.
+
+One suggestion for regenerating the 00Contents file is to send the
+output of the "ls" command to /tmp/00Contents, and then use the Unix
+diff or cmp command to see if it's different than the current one, and
+if it is, then replace the current 00Contents file with the one in
+/tmp.

+
+Thanks for the suggestion. You are correct; as of right now, the
+00Contents file is automatically generated each night on the CTAN hosts (in
+SHSU's case, via a cron job immediately following the major mirroring run
+of the evening). This is achieved with a somewhat ingenious "make"
+approach developed by Sebastian Rahtz.
+
+I am forwarding this reply to the CTAN coordinating team for its
+consideration. While this is a very valid issue, I want to ensure that any

+hosts so that consistency can be maintained in terms of the files as well

+
+Yes, there is a program called TeX-CAD (or texcad, or whatever), but it is
+intended to serve an entirely different purpose: You can do drawings
+(i.e. CAD: Computer Aided Design) consisting of some elementary tokens
+provided by LaTeX (lines, circles, etc.) and then convert the results
+into LaTeX code that can be included in your (LaTeX-) file.
+
+I suppose that instead of this you are looking for some program to have
+the typeset formulas on your screen *immediately* after typing.
+This is (for reasons on which I won't waste precious bandwidth explaining
+here) not the philosophy of TeX or LaTeX. So you might consider to use
+a wordprocessor (or DTP program, as they call it), that gives you that
+feel of "What you see is what you get".
+
+On the other hand, there *are* some implementations of TeX or LaTeX
+that indeed simplify (and therefore accelerate) that inherent editing -
+compiling - viewing cycle such that from within your editor you can start
+[La]TeX and the previewer with few keystrokes/mouse clicks. This depends
+largely on what kind of machine you are using.

+I have released Eplain version 2.6. It is available by ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{eplain/*,eplain.tar.gz}
+
+and soon from the ctan hosts in tex-archive/macros/eplain.
+
+Please send bug reports to tex-eplain@cs.umb.edu. You can join this
+list by sending email to tex-eplain-request@cs.umb.edu containing a
+single line
+subscribe you@preferred.email.address
+
+Here is a summary of the most significant changes (from the file NEWS in
+the distribution):
+
+* Indexing support (in conjunction with MakeIndex).
+* Generalization of .toc files for lists of figures/tables, etc.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* \commdiag and other arrow macros work again.
+* \eqalignno right-justifies the first column in \leftdisplays, as in
+ non-leftdisplays.
+
+For those who haven't previously heard of Eplain: it is a collection of
+macros intended to provide relatively low-level capabilities, regardless
+of how your document appears. For example, it has macros to do symbolic
+cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a section heading. It also
+has some definitions that make it easier to change the conventions of
+plain TeX's output. For example, it lets you produce left-justified
+math displays by simply saying `\leftdisplays'.

+available actually at the conference, and in order for this to be feasible,
+it is necessary to establish some fairly strict guidelines for submission.
+
+Abstracts are wanted _now_, and must be submitted no later than Friday
+10th June; the committee will acknowledge receipt of all abstracts, and
+will let authors know whether or not the paper is accepted by no later
+than Friday 24th June. One clear month will then be allowed for preparation
+of the full-text papers, which must therefore be submitted no later than
+Friday 22nd July, and these papers will then be passed on to referees who
+are knowledgeable in the chosen subject area: the referee and author then
+have one further month in which to agree and produce a `best possible' version
+of the paper. The final version of the paper must be submitted by Friday
+20th August.
+
+Papers may be prepared in either Plain TeX or LaTeX, and a copy of `EuroTeX.Sty'
+will be sent to all who submit abstracts; this will be a direct derivative of
+TUGproc.Sty, and authors wishing to make an early start on marking-up their text
+may safely base their work on the current release of TUGproc. In order to
+ensure a uniform appearance in the Proceedings, authors are urged _not_ to make
+changes to the default fonts, leading, etc.

+If you would like to present a paper, please complete the e-form below,
+and return it to the Programme Committee, EuroTeX '94:

+EuroTeX will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off the coast of
+Gdansk in Poland. The conference will run from Monday September 26th to Friday
+September 30th, and the _maximum_ cost (based on two persons sharing) will not
+exceed $260-00 / sterling 175-00 / DM 450-00. Those arriving early on Monday
+will be able to take part in a guided tour of the old town of Gdansk, whilst
+Tuesday to Friday will be packed with talks and tutorials on TeX and related
+topics. Subject to demand, there will also be a series of TeX-related courses
+during the days following the conference proper.
+
+All delegates will be accommodated in a single building, and for the whole week
+will be cut off from civilisation: no distractions, no need to leave the
+island: everything will be provided. For those unable to sustain the pace,
+quiet meditative walks along the shore searching for amber will provide the
+ideal opportunity for therapeutic meditation.

+Subject: macros/latex* changes on CTAN
+
+The release of LaTeX 2e as the officially supported version of LaTeX has
+led to a change in directory naming on the CTAN hosts. The message
+displayed upon cd'ing into selected directories in the CTAN macros
+hierarchy is appended below my sig for reference. Briefly:
+ 1. macros/latex/ has been moved to macros/latex209/
+ 2. macros/latex2e/ has been moved to macros/latex/
+ 3. macros/latex/ has been linked to macros/latex2e/
+ temporarily to facilitate version migration

+ Effective Tuesday, June 7, 1994, the CTAN macros/latex/ directories
+ contain the distribution and related files for LaTeX 2e --- the
+ presently-supported version of LaTeX (previously macros/latex2e/).
+ The macros/latex/ hierarchy is designed as follows:
+ base/ --- the complete LaTeX 2e distribution kit.
+ packages/ --- officially provided and supported 2e extensions,
+ with each component in its own subdirectory.
+ contrib/ --- user-contributed styles and packages for LaTeX 2e.
+ Each multi-file package is housed in its own
+ unique subdirectory.
+
+ The CTAN macros/latex209/ directories contain the distribution and
+ related files for LaTeX 2.09 (previously macros/latex/).
+ The macros/latex209/ hierarchy is designed as follows:
+ distribs/ --- the complete LaTeX 2.09 distribution kit, with each
+ component within its own subdirectory.
+ contrib/ --- user-contributed styles and packages for LaTeX 2.09.
+ Each multi-file package is housed in its own

+Subject: The new LaTeX
+
+
+ The new LaTeX
+
+ Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team
+
+ June 1994
+
+
+
+The LaTeX3 project team is pleased to announce the release of the new
+standard version of LaTeX. It is upwardly compatible with existing
+LaTeX documents, and contains new features including the long-awaited
+graphics extensions.
+
+Over the years many extensions of LaTeX have been developed. This is,
+of course, a welcome development, since it shows that the LaTeX system
+is in a healthy state. It has, however, had one unfortunate
+consequence: there were several incompatible systems all claiming to
+be LaTeX. =
+
+
+The new LaTeX puts an end to this unsatisfactory situation -- it gives
+access to all extensions such as SLiTeX, AmSLaTeX, and PSLaTeX, based
+on a single format. This will end the proliferation of mutually
+incompatible dialects of LaTeX.
+
+We have also introduced a small number of often-requested features
+(such as more control over float placement) and an improved interface
+for writers of document classes and packages.
+
+The new LaTeX is described in a new edition of `LaTeX: A Document
+Preparation System' by Leslie Lamport (to appear during 1994) and `The
+LaTeX Companion' by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, both published
+by Addison-Wesley.
+
+>From now on there will be a new distribution of LaTeX twice a year, in
+June and December.
+
+The new LaTeX can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from the CTAN archives:
+
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk /tex-archive/macros/latex/base
+ ftp.shsu.edu /tex-archive/macros/latex/base
+ ftp.dante.de /tex-archive/macros/latex/base
+
+
+The files in these directories require a somewhat long unpacking
+process. For those who prefer to skip this step, we provide a second
+distribution in unpacked format in the following CTAN directories:
+
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk /tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked
+ ftp.shsu.edu /tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked
+ ftp.dante.de /tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked
+
+
+Apologies and Thanks
+- --------------------
+For obvious reasons, we have not been able to incorporate everyone's
+suggestions for improvements or fixes to LaTeX.
+
+We are nevertheless very grateful to everyone who has made suggestions
+and/or reported bugs and other problems with old versions and with the
+beta-test versions. We hope that all of your reports have been
+answered by one of us: if not, please let us know. We have given them
+all serious consideration and, in many cases where we have not been
+able to act on them now, we have added them to the list of things that
+need further attention in the future. Also, of course, many of them
+could be developed into useful LaTeX packages, by you!
