+Subject: Deskjet 520 vs 500
+
+I have been using the EmTex dvihplj driver successfully on a Deskjet
+500 for some time. I now have a Deskjet 520 and I find that it will
+not print on the bottom inch of the page! All my other software seems
+to behave exactly as before.
+
+I have tried the /t option, but this has no effect. The bottom inch
+remains blank. The only way I can get a footline is to print the page
+up-side-down. This works, but it means that I end up with a rather
+lop-sided looking page.

+Subject: Lines after figures and space after \input
+
+Dear all,
+
+I am currently completing my PhD using LaTeX2e (emTeX 386 on a PC) and
+have a couple of queries. Firstly, I would quite like to have a thin
+rule between my floats and my main text. Is there a package that will
+do this? I am using the excellent caption package to put the text in
+small and the _Figure 1.1_ in bold. Some of my captions are, however,
+quite long and it would be nice to seperate them from the main text.
+
+Secondly, I have put my footnotes in seperate files which are then
+incorporated into the main text using \input. (This is to make counting
+words *not* including the footnotes easier). For some reason this
+creates a larger than normal space after the footnotemark in the main
+text which looks mighty ugly. I have made sure that there is no extra
+space or lines after the end of the footnote in the \input file.
+
+Lastly, I am using the Chicago bibliography package. I have a number of
+publications where the the year is a range, ie. year="1988--1989". If
+I use this form in the BiBTeX file I get (Bloggs 1989) in the text, but
+
+Bloggs, F. (1988--1989)
+
+in the bibliography. If I put year="1988--89" in the bibtex file I get
+(Bloggs 8 89) in the text. What I ideally would like is the format in
+the text and bibliography to be the same, either 1988--89, 1988--1988 or
+whatever.
+
+Hope someone can help me! Please can you mail me direct at
+wom@soton.ac.uk
+
+Many thanks in advance, Kris Lockyear.

+Subject: [comp.programming.literate] web-mode, emacs, pull-down menus
+
+I have just placed wm-menu.tar.gz on the machine
+
+ftp.cs.tamu.edu
+
+in directory pub/tex-web/web/EMACS.web-mode.
+
+Leslie Stoneham did this extension to web-mode as part of her
+M.S. plan of study. It is an extension of web-mode.el that was
+originally done by Mark Motl and I now maintain.
+
+When using emacs-19, it extends the menu bar that shows at the top
+to allow most of the web-mode functionality via pull down menus.
+It was developed and used on SunOS, AIX, and Solaris. It should
+be portable.
+
+The file contains the web-menu.el and a directory which includes
+her report. I warn against executing latex on the file since it
+uses a local thesis style file. The dvi file is included and
+bunches of bitmaps (in ps form) that are included. A short
+modification to web-mode.el is described in the report that is
+required for existing versions of web-mode.el.
+
+In a couple of weeks I should be able to redo that directory
+such that one retrieval of web-mode will get all.
+
+We have primarily used it with FWEB and CWEB. Please let me
+know of any problems you have with it. Leslie has a job and
+leaves these hallowed halls later this week.

+
+
+This is to announce a WWW site completely devoted to TeX and friends.
+The site is located at the LORIA research center at Nancy, France,
+which is also a CTAN mirror (ftp.loria.fr, cd ctan:).
+The main purpose of ``The LaTeX Navigator'' is to provide documentation
+about macros, packages, formats, tools, TeX engines, to give pointers, etc.
+Currently more than 200 .dvi or .ps files are proposed and this amount
+is constantly growing. (therefore any contribution or idea of contribution
+will be most welcome)
+
+The top pages are written in three languages: french, english and german
+and you can choose which you like, though the underlying documents
+are mostly in english (except our local guide). The german pages
+are far from perfect, but we will improve that soon ...
+
+The top english page shows the following items:
+
+ General documentation about (La)TeX
+ The (La)TeX local guide of our site (LORIA) (in French)
+ Bibliography and indexes
+ Literate programming
+ Classes
+ Macros and packages
+ Fonts and symbols
+ Graphics
+ Formats and tools
+ Engines and distributions
+ Historical documents
+ FAQs, ftp, miscellaneous ...
+ File search on the CTAN archive (ftp.loria.fr)
+ WWW servers dedicated to (La)TeX
+
+
+Feel free to wander through these pages and don't hesitate to report
+problems to latex@loria.fr (for instance unreadable files,
+or files using unusual fonts for instance).

+Subject: test release of new PostScript font metrics
+
+Over the last 9 months, a group of people have been working on a
+revamp of TeX font metrics for PostScript fonts. We are now ready
+(finally!) to release this, together with a new release of the
+PSNFSS package for LaTeX2e, and a new version of the Berry fontnaming
+scheme. The maintainers of PSNFSS, fontinst, web2c, and dvips all urge
+you to start using this new setup, so that all the bothersome variants
+can be abolished by the end of the year.
+
+The entire distribution is on the CTAN hosts in
+fonts/psfonts.beta. Its big - don't pull all the files on spec!
+Get what you need. Prepackaged sets for Textures users will be made
+available very shortly.
+
+These files will replace both the LaTeX PSNFSS (currently on CTAN in
+fonts/metrics) and the font metrics distributed with dvips. Both of
+these packages contained virtual fonts which more or less mimicked the
+original TeX text encoding, and (in the case of PSNFSS) the Cork
+encoding. However, the two packages used different base fonts, thus
+making previewing painful (and wasting disk space). Now, everything
+uses a single base font in a new encoding named 8r (see tools/8r.enc or
+tools/8r.etx).
+
+This new base encoding is *not* Adobe Standard Encoding, because that
+does not provide access to all of the 228 characters normally supplied
+with a Type 1 font. Therefore, you must use a DVI-to-PostScript driver
+which can perform reencoding, such as dvips(k), Y&Y's drivers, OzTeX,
+Textures etc.
+
+We are still contemplating whether the base encoding should be the
+current one (mostly compatible with Windows), the texnansi encoding
+promulgated by Y&Y (see tools/texnansi.vec), or something else.
+Comments are welcome.
+
+Aside from the base font, there are other small changes in the new
+fonts. For the Cork-encoded fonts, the stretch and shrink of the
+interword spacing has been changed. For the dvips fonts, the positions
+of the preaccented characters have been fixed (e.g., Aring is at the
+same position in every font). Therefore, the font checksums are
+different. The actual character dimensions, however, remain unchanged.
+
+The new fonts (mostly) have new names! You can get the new fontname
+distribution from ftp.cs.umb.edu:private/tex/fontname-*.tar.gz or in the
+tools/ subdirectory of this distribution.
+
+This distribution includes support the standard 35 fonts, various freely
+available fonts (with type1's), and many commercial-only fonts (no
+type1's). Smallcaps and obliqued versions are available in bold and
+normal variants, where applicable. All fonts have ligatures and
+kerning (no ``raw'' fonts); therefore, even the *8r base fonts can be
+used for real typesetting. An experimental support is provided in
+PSNFSS for this.
+
+We built these fonts using both fontinst and afm2tfm (and other
+utilities). Both required changes, which will be merged into the next
+releases. See the tools/ directory if you want to reconstruct the
+work. The changes to fontinst are extensive, and if you are not
+confident you understand them, please wait until the author finds time
+to merge them into a complete new release later this year.

+Subject: A basic SYMBOL encoding for afm2tfm
+
+
+
+It is rare to need a custom encoding vector for the Symbol
+font, but it can happen. I couldn't find one the other day
+so I made one up. Here it is.
+
+%
+% This is the SYMBOL encoding. (Red Book, page 269)
+%
+% Normally, you wouldn't need to bother with this, but if you
+% run into software which requires an explicit encoding, or you
+% need to rearrange some of the symbols in this set, it is much
+% easier to start from the basic Adobe encoding.
+% This encoding vector is taken directly from Symbol.pfa, so
+% it should be correct.
+%
+% All sorts of possibilities here. For now just keep the part
+% that clears away any unwanted encoding around digits.

+
+I have just installed here (at ftp.tex.ac.uk) Knuth's 1995 TeX
+distribution (tex version 3.14159, mf version 2.718, and any related
+programs).
+
+This covers all of the directory tree from tex-archive/systems/knuth,
+with the exception of the new cm distributions. Knuth has made some
+changes to cm that necessitate me rebuilding all of the .pk files that
+CTAN holds. This may not be complete today (I do have other work to
+do ;-)
+
+The CTAN archives no longer mirror from labrea, since the new version
+of TeX is only so far present in the tex alpha directory there (there
+is no current schedule for installing the new distribution in its
+`proper' place in labrea's directory structure).

+Subject: Installation of Knuth's 1995 release
+
+I have now completed the installation of Knuth's 1995 release on CTAN
+(I announced the interim installation of all but the fonts a while
+back). The installation has been done at ftp.tex.ac.uk; it should
+propagate to the other CTANs in fairly short order (though I have
+little evidence that propagation to ftp.shsu.edu is reliable just
+now).
+
+Barbara Beeton has supplied the following announcement text:
+
+===========================================================================
+ Date: 08 Mar 1995 18:22:30 -0800
+
+ --------- ANNOUNCING THE 1995 UPDATE TO TeX, METAFONT, and FRIENDS --------
+ I've just gone through all accumulated correspondence and made appropriate
+ changes to the master TeX sources on my home computer. (I plan to do this
+ again in February of 1998, 2002, 2007, etc.!) My files are grouped in two
+ main subdirectories, "dist" and "local"; the former consists of the master
+ WEB, TeX, METAFONT, Computer Modern, TeXware, and MFware sources, while
+ the latter consists of my own change files and supplementary macros
+ and fonts that other people might like to look at. These files fit into
+ similarly named parts of the big TeX archive tree; they should replace
+ their former counterparts. I don't know how to do this myself, not even
+ at labrea, so I am hoping that all current maintainers of TeXnicalities
+ will be alerted to the existence of this new material. I've checked
+ everything pretty carefully, so I don't think there's any need to wait
+ until independent vetting has been done.
+
+ TeX Version 3.14159 has four bug fixes, two of which are significant:
+ 1) fontmemsize can vary between formats dumped by INITEX and loaded by
+ VIRTEX --- this problem had already been fixed by all the major
+ implementations
+ 2) math kerns disappear again at line breaks, as they should --- this
+ problem arose by mistake in version 3.1415.
+ 3) overflow won't occur when converting huge stretch/shrink amounts from
+ real to integer --- again, implementors had fixed this
+ 4) you can have more than 32K font parameters without crashing TeX
+ (nobody ever wanted so many, but a crash is a crash)
+
+ METAFONT Version 2.718 has only one bug fix, but it corrects a problem
+ in the linear-equation-solving engine that lost significant figures and
+ caused spurious overflows; the bug had been present since version 0.1.
+ I've written a letter to Barbara Beeton about this, and she can send you
+ a copy if you need more information. The bug had only microscopic effect on
+ Computer Modern fonts.
+
+ Ten changes were made to the Computer Modern fonts, affecting nine of the
+ master source files, but the changes are rather minor and nearly invisible
+ to the eye. (Again they help reduce the chance of overflow.) I have been
+ unhappy to see so many people still using the pre-1992 CM fonts, because
+ I made MAJOR important improvements in that year, and I hate to run across
+ the obsolete symbols in preprints that people send me! Anybody who hasn't
+ installed CM fonts since 1991 should surely change now; and please help
+ stamp out all copies of the old fonts that you see installed anywhere.
+ (The lowercase delta is the main giveaway --- the new shape is vastly
+ better than the old. Also arrows are now darker, and several calligraphic
+ caps are improved, etc etc; the TFM files did not change, but the images
+ got lots better.) On the other hand, if you do have the 1993-or-later
+ version of the fonts, there's no need to replace old bitmaps. Just replace
+ the old source files, and regenerate fonts from them at your leisure.
+
+ There are new versions of DVItype (3.5), PLtoTF (3.5), and VPtoVF (1.4).
+ DVItype now checks the DVI file more carefully in material that is
+ skipped over (e.g., between pages).
+
+ Plain TeX format, version 3.14159, has eight changes, but only the
+ change to \bmod has a substantial probability of affecting existing
+ .tex files. Accents \b and \d have gotten better in four ways.
+
+ Barbara Beeton will be distributing reward checks to 20 people who were
+ first to report significant errors in Volumes A--E. The big "sweepstakes"
+ winners this year were Chris Thompson (Cambridge) and Bogus{\l}aw
+ Jackowski (Gdansk), who received the maximum $327.68 reward for
+ pointing out longstanding bugs in TeX and METAFONT, respectively.
+
+ All sources are frozen and no future changes will be made unless a new,
+ serious and easily fixable error is reported. The threshold for calling
+ something a feature rather than a bug is rising exponentially and may
+ be almost infinitely high when I do this exercise again in 1998! However,
+ I do still promise to maintain these programs as long as I am able.
+
+ Where can you find the new sources? At labrea.stanford.edu, in file
+ ~ftp/alpha/tex95.tar.gz (slightly less than 3MB).
+
+ Thanks to all of you for continued high quality support. -- Don Knuth 3/8/95
+=============================================================================
+
+The update I have performed started from the file Knuth mentions,
+labrea.stanford.edu:ftp/alpha/tex95.tar.gz; I have only re-installed
+things that have changed (as far as possible).
+
+Of particular import is what I have done with the CM font changes. We
+have on the archive two directories which purport to hold CM sources
+- -- systems/knuth/cm and fonts/cm/mf
+
+systems/knuth/cm has almost nothing in it here, and what it does hold
+is identical to the sources in fonts/cm/mf
+
+I have therefore updated fonts/cm/mf, and not touched systems/knuth/lib
+
+All other directories in Knuth's tar file are mapped to those on CTAN
+by the transformations ./dist/* -> systems/knuth/*, ./local/* ->
+systems/knuth/local/*
+
+I have also rebuilt all of the files in fonts/cm/pk; I've included a
+small README in that directory (not least to ensure that the next
+person who has to do this job doesn't have to run around in such small
+circles ;-). I haven't regenerated the contents of fonts/cm/gf, and
+have deleted the files that were there; that directory contained a
+README saying that the files weren't there, and this seemed an
+appropriate moment to align that statement with reality.
+
+The README in fonts/cm/pk says:
+
+========================================================================
+ I have included in this directory what I believe to be the right sort
+ of thing to match what was there already. This is not to say that I'm
+ terribly proud of it, but it seems about right.
+
+ The pk300 fonts were generated using CanonCX mode from Karl Berry's
+ modes.mf
+
+ The pk300w fonts were generated using RicohFortyEighty mode from Karl
+ Berry's modes.mf
+
+ The pk240 fonts were generated using CanonLBPTen mode from Karl
+ Berry's modes.mf (this differs from the "CanonLBP" used in the
+ previous version in name only).
+
+ The pk120 fonts were generated with the same parameters as were used
+ in the previous version, though nothing with those parameters exists
+ in Karl Berry's modes.mf; by analogy with the previous version, I've
+ called this mode OneTwoZero. I was not terribly surprised that
+ several files gave me metafont errors with this mode; the most
+ (apparently) serious were cmss12 and cmssi12, though several of the
+ smaller-sized fonts had strange paths of one sort or another.
+
+ I've included a slightly hacked copy of a Makefile which used to be in
+ the directory ../gf300; I had to hack it because the original neither
+ reflected the current `best' thinking about the way TeX systems should
+ be organised, nor the way they're organised on our discs (which is
+ different for hysterical raisins).
+========================================================================
+
+I believe that I've completed the job I undertook, but if anyone spots
+problems with my work, they are welcome to get in touch with me by
+mail (there's little point in taxing the newsgroups with it unless
+there are problems with my work that are serious enough to constitute
+major pitfalls that might bother other people).

+Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: gsftopk version 1.10
+
+This is to announce that version 1.10 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 fixes bugs with the ReEncodeFont directive in the psfonts.map
+file. This is needed in order to use fonts with the `8r' encoding (as in
+the recently-released psfonts.beta package).
+
+To upgrade, you can either:
+
+ 1. get the whole package again:
+
+ CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.10.tar.gz
+
+ or
+
+ 2. apply the following patch to version 1.9:
+
+ CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.9-1.10.diff.gz
+
+(Unfortunately, ftp.dante.de is not mirroring this properly, though.)
+
+These files are also available in Unix compress format from math.berkeley.edu
+in the directory pub/Software/TeX.

+Subject: Babel release 3.5 Beta now available
+
+
+ Hi,
+
+ I am releived to finally be able to tell you that I have
+ finalized Babel release 3.5 far enough to start a beta testing
+ period. I have to warn you though that not all documentation
+ is up to what it should be yet.
+
+ What's new in release 3.5?
+ - Because of some of the major changes I made I have decided
+ to give the (formerly called) language-specific files a new
+ name: "language definition file". They also no longer have
+ the extension.sty but ".ldf". The consequence is that
+ \usepackage{english} no longer works, only the documented
+ syntax \usepackage[english]{babel} works.
+ - Completely changed the way babel deals with active
+ characters. They are now activated once and stay active for
+ the rest of the document, only their expansion
+ changes. There is still one problem with the approach:
+ active characters that take an argument (such as " in a lot
+ of languages) give errors what TeX finds the sequence "}.
+ - Active characters (or two letter combinations starting with
+ an active character) are now called shorthands. One can have
+ three levels of shorthands: user defined, language defined
+ and system defined. Active characters may be defined to take
+ an argument.
+ - Active characters are now written to auxiliary files
+ *verbatim*
+ - A language change now also writes information in the .aux
+ file as the change might also affect typesetting the table
+ of contents. The consequence is that an .aux file generated
+ by a LaTeX format with babel preloaded gives errors when
+ read with a LaTeX format without babel, but I think this
+ problaly doesn't occur.
+ - Babel can now be used together with both the inputenc and
+ fontenc packages. So far Babel only knows about T1 and OT1
+ encodings, if it needs to know other encodings I would like
+ to hear it.
+ - A lot of code has been moved from language definition files
+ (note the new name for them I used to call them
+ language-specific files). This is caused by the rewrite of
+ the active character handling and by the implementation of
+ T1 support,
+ - A number of languages have been added to the distribution
+ (breton, estonian, irish, lower sorbian, scottish and
+ upper sorbian)
+ - More laguage definition files make characters active;
+ currently we have the following active characters:
+ ~ system, catalan, galician, spanish
+ : breton, francais, turkish
+ ; breton, francais
+ ! breton, francais, turkish
+ ? breton, francais
+ " catalan, danish, dutch, galician, german, polish,
+ portuguese, slovene, spanish, upper sorbian
+ ' catalan, galician, spanish
+ ^ esperanto
+ = turkish
+ - This beta release is not yet compatible with plain TeX; I
+ have *only* tested it with LaTeX2e. I would like to get
+ compatibility with plain back before the final
+ release. Compatibility with LaTeX 2.09 I do not regard as
+ important as LaTeX 2.09 is obsolete by now. But making babel
+ 3.5 run with plain TeX probably also makes it run with
+ LaTeX2.09.
+
+ When I hear nothing from you (or others who get the beta test
+ from CTAN) I will hopefully make the final release 3.5
+ available somewhere in July. (When I do hear from you I will
+ strive to reacht the same date, but that depends on the
+ complexity of the problems that need to be solved.)
+
+ The last remark: where can you get babel 3.5 beta?
+ It is available in babel-3.5beta.zip in the directory
+ /tex-archive/macros/latex/packags/babel on CTAN.
+
+ Happy testing!

+Subject: Announcing: TWG-TDS Draft Standard 0.98
+
+The TUG Technical Working Group on a TeX Directory Structure is
+pleased to announce that a draft of the proposed TeX Directory
+Structure standard is available for public review. You can get it by
+FTP from:
+
+ <CTAN host>:/tex-archive/tds/draft-standard/
+
+(The `/tex-archive' may vary; see the end of this message for a list of
+possible hosts.)
+
+The draft standard is available in LaTeX, PostScript, TeXinfo, HTML,
+and SGML formats.
+
+Comments and suggestions are welcome. Please communicate them by email to
+
+ twg-tds@shsu.edu
+
+or by paper mail to
+
+ Norman Walsh
+ O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
+ 90 Sherman Street
+ Cambridge, MA 02140 USA
+
+The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard TeX
+Directory Structure (TDS) for macros, fonts, and other such
+implementation-independent TeX files. As a matter of practicality, it
+also suggests ways to incorporate the rest of the TeX files into a
+single structure. In the not-so-long run a consistent directory
+structure will make it much easier to install and maintain TeX. We
+hope that administrators and developers of both free and commercial
+implementations of TeX will adopt this standard. It has been designed
+to work on all modern systems. In particular, this Technical Working
+Group (TWG) believes it is usable under Unix, MS-DOS, OS/2, MacOS, and
+VMS.
+
+We hope to publish another draft, or make the final release (depending
+on the volume of comments and concerns) shortly after TUG 95.
