A Bug with +SunOS 4.1.3 missing the declaration of fpos_t and fgetpos fsetpos was +corrected.

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.

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.
