+Subject: Plain text and numbering lines
+
+I frequently have the need to produce pages of output which have the
+lines numbered in the left margin (so that people can easily refer
+to page nnn, line mmm). I have looked at Chapter 23 of "The
+TeXbook", and it seems that such a thing should not be impossible,
+but there is nothing there to guide me as to whether such a thing is
+easy and, if so, how to do it. I have also looked through several
+collections of TeX macros and not found anything to do the job (so
+perhaps it is not so easy after all).
+
+Does anyone have any clues as to how to produce this seemingly simple
+effect?

+Subject: Sauter Tools for Computer Modern Fonts Version 2.3 released
+
+The release 2.3 of the Sauter tools to generate true sized fonts contains
+the following news:
+
+* Support for LaTeX2e 1994/12/01
+* Full support of SliTeX fonts (including invisible fonts)
+* Fixes to cmcsc fonts, wasy fonts, and bbold fonts.
+* Bold Caps and Small Caps
+* An experimental Sperrsatz font
+* More differentiated directory structure
+
+If you already have an older version of the Sauter fonts, please regenerate
+the cmcsc fonts. They have been changed to match exactly the extra sizes
+provided by the AMS. In this course I have also restored John Sauter's
+formula for sizes above 10pt.
+
+If you had Sauterised wasy and bbold fonts, please regenerate them, they
+have changed. If you had Sauterised cyrillic, please regenerate cmbz. The
+unit width now matches the one of cmrz.
+
+Send any questions, comments and suggestions to

+Subject: Announcing gsftopk version 1.8
+
+This is to announce that version 1.8 of gsftopk is available. gsftopk is
+a utility that calls Ghostscript to render PostScript fonts, and then converts
+them into pk format. The main goal is to be able to view PostScript fonts
+in xdvi.
+
+The current version fixes a couple minor bugs (seg fault when running
+without arguments, and inability to handle .pfb files).
+
+To upgrade, you can either:
+
+ 1. get the whole package again:
+
+ CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk.tar.gz
+
+ or
+
+ 2. apply the following patch to version 1.7:
+
+ CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk.patch8.gz
+
+These files are also available in Unix compress format from math.berkeley.edu
+in the directory pub/Software/TeX.
+
+Users of gs 3.x should note that, although this patch fixes a bug regarding
+.pfb files, there still are some bugs in gs 3.1.2 affecting .pfb files.

+Subject: Immediate bug fixes to Sauter-2.3
+
+I did two immediate bug fixes to the Sauter-2.3 distribution, namely the
+files b-cmcsc.mf and sautmath.fd were replaced.
+
+The Sauter-2.3 package can be found on the CTAN archives in
+tex-archive/fonts/cm/sauter23/...
+
+Thanks to the people who reported the bugs.
