+Subject: Including diagrams using OzTeX?
+
+I wonder if you could assist me by informing me of any applemac software which
+would enable me to incorporate diagrams into a file when using OzTeX.
+(Usually I use Teachtext to write my .tex file.)
+
+I would greatly appreciate it if you would assist me as this information
+would be most useful to me.
+
+Your sincerely,

+\pagestyle{headings}
+\markright{\sc My heading}

+Subject: Re: smallcaps and oldnumerals in Lucida B expert packae
+
+Victor Sanchez asks why the Lucida metrics
+package on CTAN uses derived, and not real,
+smallcaps. This is simply an oversight, and is
+corrected in the forthcoming re-release of all
+the metrics, and PSNFSS. The curious reader
+may like to look on CTAN in fonts/psfonts.beta
+to see how this is developing. A proper
+announcement will be made soon

+
+You may want to get the latest versions of lucida.dtx and lucida.ins from
+Y&Y. These take care of some minor problems in the older versions found in
+PSNFSS on CTAN. Or, just wait for Sebastian's new versions to show up on
+CTAN when he is satisfied with the changes he has made. The new versions of
+the lucida.* files also solve some problems with upright Greek in bold math.
+You can contact Y&Y at tech-help@YandY.com.
+
+I don't know about the metric files, since I use the fonts directly (using
+the TFM files supplied with the fonts). There may be aditional problems
+lurking in the VF files that I am not aware off.

+Subject: Floats at odd pages.
+
+Dear reader,
+
+At this moment I am writing my graduation report. Some time ago I encountered
+the TeX/LaTeX typesetting system, and decided to write this report with the
+package. In contrast to many text processing systems TeX/LaTeX satisfies all
+my needs in a very convenient way. Compliments for this. Still a question
+rises for which I cannot find an answer.
+
+In this report I want to incorporate large numbers of eps graphs. A very fine
+mechanism for this purpose has been developped. But I would like to set a
+default that puts all floating stuff (including tables) on the odd (left)
+pages of the "book" document class. Is this possible by using a style file
+or need I some extra code?
+
+Please forgive me if I haven't read the LaTeX Companion good enough. I hope
+that someone else has come across this question and solved it.
+
+Thanks in advance Weynand

+Subject: [comp.text.tex] [Feynman diagrams for LaTeX] FEYNMF v0.9 released
+
+This announces a new version of feynmf, a combined LaTeX/Metafont
+package for easy drawing of professional quality Feynman diagrams.
+This version features a new ``immediate'' mode, which allows to access
+Metafont's wonderful expressiveness much more conveniently.
+
+I plan to release this version as version 1.0 after revising the
+manual. If you're desperate for a feature or have suggestions for the
+manual, this is the time to speak up. I will be very reluctant about
+adding features, but hints for the manual are welcome.
+
+This software will show up through the magic of mirroring at the CTAN
+host near you. Below is the README file.
+
+Enjoy,

+########################################################################
+
+ This is feynmf, a combined LaTeX/Metafont package for easy drawing
+ of professional quality Feynman diagrams. feynmf lays out most
+ diagrams satisfactorily from the structure of the graph without
+ any need for manual intervention. Nevertheless all the power of
+ Metafont is available for the most obscure cases. See the
+ documentation for appetizers, examples and more details.
+
+ Anyway, you are invited to share, use, abuse, and improve it, see
+ the file COPYING for details.
+
+ Enjoy,
+ -Thorsten

+Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: gsftopk version 1.9
+
+This is to announce that version 1.9 of gsftopk is available. gsftopk is
+a utility that calls Ghostscript to render PostScript fonts, and then converts
+them into pk format. This allows you to view PostScript fonts in xdvi.
+
+This version is necessary if you are using gs3.3.3.
+
+To upgrade, you can either:
+
+ 1. get the whole package again:
+
+ CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.9.tar.gz
+
+ or
+
+ 2. apply the following patch to version 1.8:
+
+ CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.8-1.9.diff.gz
+
+These files are also available in Unix compress format from math.berkeley.edu
+in the directory pub/Software/TeX.
+
+Also, gsftopk 1.9 is included with xdvi-20, which is also being released
+at this time.

+Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: xdvi patchlevel 20
+
+This is to announce that patchlevel 20 for xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files
+under the X Window System, has been released. It is available via anonymous
+ftp from ftp.x.org in the file contrib/applications/xdvi-20.tar.Z
+(and coming soon to a mirror site near you...).
+
+Patchlevel 20 fixes some bugs that were present in patchlevel 19. Patchlevel
+19, which was recently released but not announced (due to the bugs), adds:
+
+ o Support for header= and `!' PostScript specials.
+ o Path searching for PostScript header and figure files.
+ o Ability to use compressed PostScript figure files.
+ o Numerous smaller bug fixes and enhancements.
+
+Among the bugs fixed is an image clipping problem with gs 3.x. The patch to
+gs that I had circulated earlier is no longer necessary (and probably
+incorrect). The new FAQ file contains a revised patch, provided by Tim
+Theisen, which fixes bugs both for ghostview and for xdvi. You should use
+it if you are using gs 3.3.3.
+
+This version of xdvi also includes version 1.9 of gsftopk, which contains
+fixes for working with gs 3.3.3.
+
+Information on xdvi is available on the WWW at the following URL:
