+Is there any possibility which can translate TFM and suitable

+Subject: underlining
+
+I know that the TeXbook says that the best way to do underlining is to
+build a new font, but for my purposes that seems like overkill. On the
+other hand, all my simple macros to produce underlined text fail to
+produce the correct results. What I want is something like:
+ \underline{This text should be underlined, but the space characters
+contained in the text should be left without underlines}
+
+This seems like it ought to be simple, and it probably is, but I can't
+get a macro to do what I want. Anyone out there who can give me some
+help?
+
+Thanks

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] mcite: Combining several BibTeX entries into one \bibitem
+
+Last week I asked and only got `me too' responses. Thus I sat down
+yesterday evening and wrote it myself (that's The True Trouble with
+TeX: it's too much fun wasting your time by hacking up cutee little
+macros :-). Anyway, you can get it from
+
+ crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de:pub/ohl/mcite
+
+and (hopefully) soon from a CTAN site near you.
+
+This LaTeX2e package provides support for collapsing multiple
+citations into one, as custumoary in physics journals. For example
+\cite{foo1,*foo2,bar} will combine the BibTeX entries foo1 and foo2
+into a single \bibitem. Obviously, the non-trivial point is that it
+works with BibTeX. See mcite.dtx for more detailed documentation.
+
+Enjoy,

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] ANNOUNCING: Seminar Package for LaTeX2e
+
+Hey netters, don't be fooled by LaTeX2e's slides class.
+It is still lame, compared to the amazing Seminar package.
+
+V1.0 of seminar.sty works with LaTeX2e in compatibility
+mode, but I have finally added a seminar.cls that works
+in LaTeX2e's native mode. This is a minimal modification
+of seminar.sty, not a new version. The new distribution
+is called V1.0e. If you already have v1.0, the only
+new files you need are
+
+ seminar.cls semhelv.sty semlcmss.sty
+
+from
+
+ Princeton.EDU:/pub/tvz/seminar/inputs
+
+You can also get the entire package (which still includes
+seminar.sty and still works with LaTeX 2.09).
+
+Let me know about any problems.
+
+Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz for making the necessary changes.
+

+THIS IS A SUPPLEMENTARY READ-ME FOR V1.0e OF THE SEMINAR PACKAGE
+
+***********************************************************************
+**** "readme" file for the Seminar package, v1.0e, 94/08/24 ****
+***********************************************************************
+
+COPYRIGHT 1993, 1994 by Timothy Van Zandt, tvz@Princeton.EDU
+
+ABOUT V1.0e:
+
+ V1.0e is identical to v1.0 of 93/04/01, except for a few changes
+ so that Seminar can work with NFSS2 and LaTeX2e:
+
+ - semhelv.sty and semlcmss.sty have been modified to work
+ with NFSS2 and LaTeX2e (but they still work with NFSS).
+
+ - seminar.cls has been added. This is a LaTeX2e document class,
+ derived from seminar.sty v1.0 by Sebastian Rahtz.
+
+ If you already have have seminar.sty v1.0e, then all you need
+ are this read-me file plus these files from the inputs
+ directory:
+
+ seminar.cls semhelv.sty semlcmss.sty
+
+USING SEMINAR WITH LATEX2E:
+
+ !!! YOU MUST BE USING A LATEX2E RELEASED AFTER 19 FEBRUARY 1994
+
+ You can either use seminar.sty in compatibility mode:
+ \documentstyle{seminar}
+ Or use the seminar.cls document class:
+ \documentclass{seminar}
+
+ Unless you are using other macros that only work in
+ compatibility mode, you might as well use the document class.
+
+ You can use the following options with \documentclass{seminar}:
+
+ article slidesonly notes notesonly notesonly*
+ noxcomment portrait a4 semhelv semlcmss semlayer
+ semrot semcolor slidesec
+
+ NOTE: Use `a4', not `sem-a4'.
+
+ `seminar.cls' is a minimal modification of seminar.sty. The
+ next release will take advantage of more of LaTeX2e's special
+ capabilities.

+From: "K. Berry" <kb@cs.umb.edu>
+Subject: modes 2.1 available
+
+I have released version 2.1 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
+
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf
+
+and shortly from the ctan sites in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-2.1.mf.
+finger ctan_us@ftp.shsu.edu for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors.
+
+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'.
+
+News:
+No new modes, but I've added landscape definitions for all the devices
+with meaningfully nonsquare aspect ratios, named as the primary device
+with an `l' appended. Some primary names were changed to be shorter as
+a result, but the old names are still there as synonyms.
+
+I've also been told that `ljfour' is suitable for the Apple Select 360,
+and that the Xerox 4050 mode works for the Xerox 4700, so that
+information is included.
+
+
+It's generally of no use to mail me about devices not in modes.mf;
+everything I know about is described therein. It also includes lots of
+text about how to create a new mode_def, etc.
+
+
+General information:
+modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
+definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and
+landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the
+original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c)
+or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I can't decipher mf.web
+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.
