+Subject: Help with psfig and *.eps?
+
+Greetings. I'm in dire need of some quick help with what may be
+trivial questions, and thank you in advance for whatever you can
+offer.
+
+* We have an encapsulated postscript file that prints on our
+postscript printers just fine (DEC lnxx series printers attached to
+VAX VMS systems) and is also able to be previewed with ghostview and
+DEC's CDA viewer, but that is absolutely impossible to include in a
+TeX document for printing.
+ - Our version of psfig seems to be 1.1 on VMS - undoubtedly
+ antiquated - where can I get a newer version?
+ - Our TeX is 2.991, LaTeX is 2.09, on a VAX running VMS 5.5-2
+ - I also tried it on an Alpha running OSF/1 v2.0, with
+ TeX v3.141, LaTex v2.09, psfig v1.8 - same results as VMS.
+ - When using psfig to include the .eps file for printing,
+ - we get a postscript output file with no complaints from TeX
+ - the file prints with no complaints from the printing software
+ - *** NOTHING COMES OUT OF THE PRINTER ***
+ - no error pages, no online msgs, nothing.
+
+Here is the TeX file I tried:
+
+\input psfig
+\null\vskip 3 true in
+\centerline{\psfig{figure=vcbf1.eps}}
+\vskip 3 true in
+\centerline{Figure 1}
+\end
+
+and here is the LaTeX file I tried:
+
+\documentstyle[12pt,doublespace]{article}
+\input psfig
+\begin{document}
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+\vspace{-3.0cm}
+\centerline{\psfig{figure=vcbf1.eps,height=8in,bbllx=80bp,bblly=300bp,bburx=550
+bp,bbury=700bp,clip=}}
+\vspace{-3.0cm}
+\caption{\label{Ffds}Predictions for $f_{D_s}$ obtained using
+error limits.}
+\end{figure}
+\end{document}
+\end
+
+The bounding box info seems correct, based on ghostview's image of the
+.eps file. Nothing prints, however.
+
+ Could someone please advise what to do to get this to work in TeX?
+ Psfig works on other *.eps files, just not this particular one.
+ I'd rather not upgrade TeX or LaTex if I don't have to, would be
+ happy to upgrade psfig if I knew where to find it for VMS and for
+ OSF/1. However, given that it fails with 2 versions of psfig, as
+ noted above, I don't think that's the problem.
+
+* Last question - where are some archive sources for TeX FAQs, this
+ group, TeX distributions?
+
+
+Many thanks, anxiously awaiting help to help an anxious user!!!!

+Keywords: RTF, LaTeX, Translation, Microsoft Word, Word for Windows
+
+Archive-Name: auto/comp.text.tex/ANNOUNCE-LaTeX-to-RTF-translator
+
+latex2rtf is a translator program that translates LaTeX text into the
+RTF format used by several textprocessors, including Microsoft Word and
+Word for Windows. It was written by Fernando Dorner and Andreas Granzer
+in a one-semester course in our department. This is new software and as
+such not very well tested. It works for us, however. If you find any
+Bugs, or make any improvements to the code, please report them to the
+address below.
+This program should answer one of the frequently asked questions in this
+group, namely how to translate from LaTeX to Microsoft Word.
+
+The sources can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
+ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at
+in the directory /pub/misc
+in the file latex2rtf.1.0.tar.gz
+you need the GNU gunzip program to uncompress the file. Sources can be
+obtained from one of the GNU archives.
+Alternatively you can specify the file name rtf2LaTeX.tar when
+downloading via ftp and the tar-file will get decompressed before
+transmission.

+ even do block compilation: mark a small part of your (large)
+ document, and ONLY that part will be compiled and viewed!
+ 15. 4allTeX contains a huge set of documentation (> 150Mbyte), including
+ TeX/LaTeX/Metafont documentation and tutorials both for novices and

+ Hard disk requirement for running 4TeX (processing all your documents):
+ less than 50k!
+
+ The 4allTeX CD-ROM is the FIRST and (at least in the near future) the ONLY
+ CD-ROM with a:
+ >>>> ready-to-use MS-DOS TeX implementation <<<<
+ including a HUGE set of documentation.
+
+ The 4allTeX CD-ROM contains a UNIQUE SET of TeX/LaTeX/etc software for
+ both MS-DOS and non MS-DOS users!
+
+ Unbelievable but TRUE!
+
+ 3. Computer systems
+ -- -------- -------
+ The ready-to-use 4TeX system is available for PC
+ MS-DOS 8086/80286/80386/80486/pentium systems. However, the MAJOR part of
+ the software on the 4allTeX CD-ROM is system INdependent.
+
+ 4. How to install
+ -- --- -- -------
+ The 4TeX system on the 4allTeX CD-ROM can be installed within 20-30
+ seconds (!!) and the first example can be previewed and printed
+ within the next 10-20 seconds.
+ For installation, only the following commands are needed!
+ > cd f: (e.g. the local CD-ROM drive)
+ > inst4tex
+ C(ontinue)
+ C: (name local drive)
+ Y or N (Yes or No generate ACD tree)
+ For starting 4TeX:
+ > 4tex sample
+
+ 5. Price
+ -- -----
+ - The price of the CD-ROM including a 110+ pages manual is: $35.
+ - Add $5 for sending by air (only for outside Europe).

+Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: Move of UK CTAN node
+
+The UK node of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network changed its home
+this morning (Friday 8 July, 1994), UK time -- it now resides on
+machines at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory.
+
+In parallel with the move, a number of new network names have been
+generated, which distinguish the archive's different services.
+
+To access the new archive, please use:
+
+ tex.ac.uk for email
+ www.tex.ac.uk for www
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk for FTP [128.232.1.87]
+ nfs.tex.ac.uk for NFS
+ gopher.tex.ac.uk for gopher
+
+The archive no longer provides:
+
+ - a WAIS server,
+ - an NIFTP (UK JANET coloured-book file transfer) service
+ (coloured-book only sites within the UK should use the JANET
+ NIFTP/ftp gateway),
+ - public terminal access; browsing facilities are now only available
+ via WWW, ftp or gopher. The gopher service isn't quite what it
+ was, but we'll be working on that.
+
+The file system to mount on the new NFS service is
+ nfs.tex.ac.uk:/public/ctan/tex-archive
+
+ftp users should notice no change. Any shortcomings in any of the
+services should be reported by email to ctan-uk@tex.ac.uk

+
+Please be sure to get the README file, as it provides some useful

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] Announce: First patch to latex2rtf
+Keywords: LaTeX, RTF, Microsoft Word, latex2rtf, patch
+
+This is the announcement of the first patch to latex2rtf. A Bug with
+SunOS 4.1.3 missing the declaration of fpos_t and fgetpos fsetpos was
+corrected. Some bugs in the manpage were corrected, too.
+
+latex2rtf is a translator program that translates LaTeX text into the
+RTF format used by several textprocessors, including Microsoft Word and
+Word for Windows. It was written by Fernando Dorner and Andreas Granzer
+in a one-semester course in our department. This is new software and as
+such not very well tested. It works for us, however. If you find any
+Bugs, or make any improvements to the code, please report them to the
+address below.
+This program should answer one of the frequently asked questions in this
+group, namely how to translate from LaTeX to Microsoft Word.
+
+The sources can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
+ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at
+in the directory /pub/misc
+in the file latex2rtf.1.1.tar.gz
+you need the GNU gunzip program to uncompress the file. Sources can be
+obtained from one of the GNU archives.
+Alternatively you can specify the file name latex2rtf.1.1.tar when
+downloading via ftp and the tar-file will get decompressed before
+transmission.
+The patch from version 1.0 can be found in the file latex2rtf.patch.1.0-1.1.gz

+Subject: modes 2.0 available
+
+I have released version 2.0 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf
+
+You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
+file server if you cannot ftp: email fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of
+`sendme modes'.
+
+This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
+definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and
+landscape mode.
+
+No new modes, but I've renamed all the modes so the primary names are <=
+eight characters and all lowercase, and hence portable directory names.
+This also saves a bit of memory, though not enough ... if you have the
+table sizes from mf.web, modes.mf will eat up too much string space to
+do any actual font generation. You can work around this by either
+increasing the table sizes (as in web2c's mf.ch), or by removing
+unneeded modes from modes.mf and renaming the file. I can't decipher the
+Metafont source well enough to understand how to make the modes use less
+memory; if some Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it.
+
+If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
+existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition,
+particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome.
