+
+ 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?
+
+Use ptmr (close to plain-compatible) or ptmr8q (Cork), which have the
+usual quotes in the usual positions. Those are virtual fonts based on 8r.
+I wouldn't call them tricks, exactly.
+
+ptmr8r is close to Windows-compatible, for reasons explained in the
+8r.enc source file. Its primary purpose is to make all characters
+commonly present in Type 1 fonts available for typesetting (i.e., with
+virtual fonts), not to be the One True Encoding for typesetting itself.
+
+If you want to use 8r itself, then you'll have to make ` and ' active
+and have them typeset the right character. You probably don't want to do this.

+Subject: Memory question
+
+Sorry if this is a FAQ or a newbie question, but I am in need of some
+help. I have tried crawling the web pages but with little success...
+
+I am running LaTeX2.09 (dated 9/1/90) under DOS. I am towards the end
+of writing my thesis and am currently trying to compile it as one
+document (rather than individual chapters) using \include
+instructions. On first compilation it runs fine, and will continue
+to compile on each subsequent compilation UNLESS I have run BibTeX
+first. In this case, I can only get it to recompile if I instruct
+"del *.aux" prior to recompilation - obviously not very satisfactory.
+The number of different references is around 180 at present
+(although there are many more \citeasnoun instructions).
+
+The error message I am getting on recompiling after running BibTeX is
+insufficient memory. On looking at the .log file it appears to be
+"save size" that is crashing. After first compilation the memory
+counter is "362s" and then on second compilation I get "601s ... out
+of ... 600s". Other sections of memory appear to be fine.
+
+I have tried to reduce the number of \citeasnoun, but this appears to
+make no difference. If I edit my .aux file to manually remove about
+50 of the 180 citations it will recompile with no problem.
+
+Any ideas about what I should do to get it to recompile with no
+crashes after running BibTeX? I would be very grateful if you would
+email me direct with any potential solutions.
+
+Thanking you in advance for your help.
+
+Mark Freeman.

+Subject: Announce: xtem X11-TeX-Menu 5.23
+
+Dear xtem users,
+
+We have finished the new version (xtem_TeXMenu.5.23) of
+
+ "xtem", an X11-TeX-menu
+
+which runs with the new Tcl/Tk/TclX (Tcl7.5/ and Tcl7.6-beta1)
+as well as with the old version (Tcl7.4).
+
+In addition to adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk, we have done
+errror corrections and added new features, such as:
+
+ - installation (and maintenance of the logfiles) is much easier with
+ the (new) installation procedure,
+
+ - (optional) logfile analyze after TeX run, you can then click at each
+ error message (incl. overfull/underfull boxes) in order to edit
+ the texfile at the corresponding position,
+
+ - "quick&dirty" button for quick TeXing and previewing of a small text
+ fragment (including preamble),
+
+ - the edit file can be selected from other directories than the main file,
+
+ - (optional) vertical scrollbars for the text widgets,
+
+ - revision of all bindings (conforming behaviour: actions are done
+ at button release),
+
+ - LaTeX syntax got it's own button now.
+
+Most setting files from older versions of xtem may be kept unchanged:
+
+ - mkcommand.vst must be updated
+ - texfmt.vst should be updated to enable "quick&dirty"
+ - logform.vst one line concerning logfile analyze can/should be added
+
+
+
+You will find all files on our file server:
+
+ http://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenu.html
+or
+ ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu.5.23.tar.gz

+ ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu_5ger.ps.gz
+
+Here you may also find the sources: Tcl7.5, Tk4.1, TclX7.5.2

+ ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tclX7.4a-p1.tar.gz
+
+We have uploaded the new xtem version to the
+neosoft server into "/pub/tcl/incoming/",
+and it's already mirrored to the CTAN servers,
+so you also may get all the material from
+ ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/NEW/xtem_*
+and ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/xtem_texmenu/xtem.v5/*
+and the other CTAN servers.
+
+
+For those who don't know xtem_TeXMenu up to now, we give a short overview:
+
+xtem provides for a simple and comfortable graphical user interface to control
+the following facilities:
+
+ - file and directory selection, directory creation,
+ - editor (vi, emacs, ...) including additional windows for the
+ LaTeX-syntax (using hypertext) and examples,
+ - TeX, LaTeX, ...,
+ - previewer (ghostview, xdvi, TkDvi, ...),
+ - printing (including comfortable printer selection, ...),
+ - syntax and spelling check,
+ - makeindex,
+ - bibtex,
+ - additional programs as required,
+ .
+ .
+ .
+Online help is available for all the buttons and windows by simple mouse click.
+xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems.
+
+

+Thanks,
