+Thank you for your advice on running METAFONT on the Macintosh.
+I downloaded OzTeX and it is working very well for me. I had
+been beating myself over the head with the Blue Sky version for
+weeks trying to get it to work properly. You saved me a great
+deal of time.
+
+Cheers,

+I am trying to produce the following "labelled" matrix with latex:

+ / \
+ a1 | 8 10 4 |
+A = a2 | 11 5 18 |

+Any ideas would be most helpful.

+You might care to look at this just-appeared profile of TUGboat
+author and TUG conference participant T. V. Raman:
+
+@String{j-SCI-AMER = "Scientific American"}
+
+
+@Article{Gibbs:1996:PVR,
+ author = "W. Wayt Gibbs",
+ title = "Profile: T. V. Raman: Envisioning Speech",
+ journal = j-SCI-AMER,

+ month = nov,
+ year = "1996",
+ acknowledgement = ack-nhfb,
+ bibdate = "Mon Aug 19 08:48:09 1996",
+.
+
+Curiously, this article shows a single equation, which seems
+to violate the Scientific American practice of eschewing
+equations.

+
+I have uploaded a new Sauter release to the CTAN archives in directory
+tex-archive/fonts/cm/sauter24/
+and it will propagate to the mirrors soon.
+
+Attached is the release file.

+
+The release 2.4 of the Sauter tools to generate true sized fonts contains
+the following news:
+
+* Support for LaTeX2e 1996/06/01
+* Fixes to cmcsc fonts
+* Fix to the capital S in cmmi fonts
+* Sauterised versions of AMS symbol fonts, bbm fonts and rsfs fonts
+ contributed by Hubert Holin
+
+If you already have version 2.3 of the Sauter fonts, please regenerate
+the cmcsc fonts for sizes => 10pt, there was a bug affecting the depth of
+the letter `q'.
+
+Please recalculate the cmmi fonts for sizes >12pt, the capital S will look
+much better afterwards.

+Send any questions, comments and suggestions to

+Subject: single quotes using the times postscript fonts???
+
+I have installed the times.sty package that uses
+the psfonts courier, helvetica and times in LaTeX2e.
+In the times font ptmr8r, the usual positions for
+the left single quote "60 and for the right single
+quote "27 contain instead of the symbols found in
+the font cmr a symbol that looks like a grave accent
+and a symbol that looks like a vertical prime,
+respectively. How is one to get matched single quotes?
+
+There is an older font rptmr that has the usual
+single quotes in those positions. Is there
+some way to use the font ptmr8r and still get the
+usual single quotes, for example, by means of some
+trick using virtual fonts and rptmr?
+
+Thanks,
+Robert

+Subject: How do you get equal variable-sized delimiters?
+
+In a LaTeX (I'm using LaTeX2e <1994/06/01> patch level 2) expression like
+
+\begin{eqnarray}
+ \left<delimiter>
+ %some stuff
+ \right.\\
+ \left.
+ %some more stuff
+ \right<delimiter>
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+how do you ensure that the resulting <delimiter>'s are the same size?

+Subject: Coversion of DVI file to ASCII File
+
+Greetings to all,
+
+Is there a way to convert a filename.dvi to its LaTeX source file (ASCII
+file)? I am in a peculiar situation. I have the dvi version of a revised
+file, but its revised LaTeX source file is missing?
+
+Also, what is the meaning of ``dvi file is corrupt''? What are the
+possible sources of this problem?
+
+Thanks in advance for any insights.

+Subject: DEK in the news
+
+The September 1996 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal has an editorial on p. 6
+which begins:
+
+ It was a pleasant surprise to open the mail and read that Donald
+ Knuth, the author of the three-volume {\em The Art of Computer
+ Programming}, is the recipient of the Inamori Foundation's
+ 1996 Kyoto Prize in the category of Advanced Technology.
+ Considering that a check for $460,000 accompanies his wall
+ plaque, Dr. Knuth is probably more pleased than I.
+
+ According to Kazuo Inamori, president of the Inamori Foundation
+ and chairman of Kyocera, Knuth was given Japan's highest
+ private award for his contributions to the betterment of
+ humankind. In addition to {\em The Art of Computer Programming},
+ Knuth (who was featured in an April 1996 DDJ interview) is
+ the creator of the TeX document-preparation system, Metafont
+ font-design system, and LR parser and attribute grammar.
+ TeX has been described as the most important achievement
+ in publishing since Gutenberg's moveable type.
+
+ Previous Kyoto Advanced Technology laureates include John
+ McCarthy of artificial-intelligence fame, and George Gray,
+ developer of the liquid-crystal display. Please join me
+ in hearty congratulations to Dr. Knuth.
