+Subject: tex footnote problem
+
+We are having a problem with the footnote symbols printed out below the
+last line of text in a document:
+e.g.
+
+
+text lines
+:
+:
+:
+last text line
+__________________________________
+odaggerNumber of lines in program
+odoubledaggerUpdated versions available
+
+In the above dagger indicates the sybmol dagger or double dagger
+We would like rid of the zeros before the dagger symbols
+any ideas
+
+The tex that generates the stuff is as below:
+We are using latex (Northlake Convergent TeX, V3.14b-1) on this file
+
+
+\documentstyle[twoside,ifthen]{article}
+%
+% preamble for program index
+%
+% these declarations set up a reasonable page size for A4.
+% Use by including the line "\input layout " AFTER the \documentstyle{..}
+% declaration (assuming you call this file layout.tex)
+%
+\pagestyle{headings}
+\textheight 23cm
+\textwidth 15.5cm
+\linewidth 15.5cm
+\topmargin 0.00in
+\footheight 1cm
+\pagenumbering{arabic}
+\raggedright
+%
+\parindent 0in % no paragraph indent
+\setlength{\parskip}{0cm} % about one line between paragraphs
+%
+\newenvironment{sublist}{
+ \begin{list}{}
+ {\setlength{\labelsep}{0.3cm}
+ \setlength{\parsep}{0cm}
+ \setlength{\labelwidth}{1.2cm}
+ \setlength{\leftmargin}{1.5cm}}}{\end{list}}
+%
+% to print one footnote only per page
+%

+\a=0
+%
+\newcommand{\pfootnote}{
+\b=\value{page}
+ \ifnum\a=\b \else \a=\value{page}
+ \footnotetext{\ddag Updated version available.} \fi}
+%
+% set footnote symbol to dagger
+%
+\newcounter{sfoot1}
+\setcounter{sfoot1}{2}
+\newcommand{\fnlines}{$\fnsymbol{sfoot1}$}
+%
+\newcounter{sfoot}
+\setcounter{sfoot}{3}

+>> My own solution to the skipped-if problem is not as pretty:
+
+>> \let\then\iftrue
+>> \def\ifundefined#1\then{\ifx#1\undefined\empty}
+>> ...
+>> \ifundefined\test\then Fail\else Graduate\fi
+
+This is interesting, and is similar to my own `properly nestable user-written
+ifs' which also use \then; the difference is that they modify \then on
+the fly, unfortunately a manner which prevents the code from being used
+in expansion-only contexts. One of the things I am wondering about
+for e-TeX is whether more things could be done in (e-)TeX's mouth...

+
+
+I am trying to install the public tex version
+(systems/msdos/public-tex) on my PC, and I am having problems. initex
+cannot find tex.poo (although the error message calls the file
+tex.pool) . I placed tex.poo in a specific directory and i did SET the
+variable for it, but that did not solve th e problem.
+
+I appreciate any help (please reply by email to george.kiraz@cl.cam.ac.uk).
+
+
+thanks

+TYPETALK: mailing list on typography and graphic design
+
+There now exists an Internet mailing list dedicated to all manner of
+discussions related to typography and graphic design. Note that this list
+is interested primarily in the ARTISTIC aspects of graphic design. The
+list is unmoderated, and no one will censor what you say, but questions of
+the "Why won't my TrueType font print on my HP LaserJet?" and "Why won't
+SuperATM work with <a certain font>?" sort are best directed to the
+newsgroup comp.fonts. Note that this Typetalk mailing list has nothing to
+do with the Typetalk relay service in the U.K.
+
+To subscribe, send a message containing the words: subscribe typetalk
+(and no other words or characters) in the body of a message to
+listmanager@hookup.net. (The subject line is ignored.)
