+Subject: Directory searching by TeX
+
+Hellow Tex Hackers,
+
+Is there any way to tell "Tex" to search a current directory.
+Thing is that when I run our "Tex" program (through Latex),
+it did not search files in the current directory.
+ -------- --------
+So, I have to tell Tex all the complete path for the input files,
+and there is a serious problem when "Tex" look for "AUX" file for the cross
+reference,
+because it could not find it even if the file was in the current directory
+after the previous run.
+
+It might be a flaw of our"Tex" program.
+Perhaps, when it was created, search paths were passed on it,
+but the current directory was omitted.
+Is there any quick fix, or I have to install brand new Tex program ?
+
+Thank you.

+Subject: Two Columns for two "documents"
+
+Dear TeXhax,
+This may be common knowledge but not, I'm afraid, to me.
+Is there a cls file or a package which enables one to generate a document
+in which the pages are two columns over the whole document but the
+contents of the two columns are basically two different source files?
+I am thinking of, for example, a document and its translation to another
+language or a document and a running commentry printed alongside and "in
+step" with each other. The existing multicolumn methods are basically for
+re-formatting a single continuous whole and I guess could be made to do
+what I want but it would be tremendously inconvenient keeping things in
+step.
+Thanks in advance

+
+hello,
+I am hoping that you might be able to help me with a TEX question. I am
+sure this question has been asked before, but do you know how to create
+bold lower case Greek letters in math mode? I have done it before in
+LATEX using \boldmath and \unboldmath but these commands are not
+available in TEX.
+
+thank you for your help

+Subject: Writing to Files in Latex2e
+
+ I would like to be able to write to a file within LateX2e, and can see
+ nothing about this in the LaTeX Companion. I would prefer not to have
+ to revert to the plain TeX commands \write and \shipout unless
+ necessary.
+
+ In particular, I'm writing macros for a problem sheet, and would like
+ to use a format like
+
+ \begin{question}
+ What is the capital of UK?
+ \end{question}
+ \begin{solution}
+ London
+ \end{solution}
+
+ \begin{question}
+ What is the capital of Republic of Ireland?
+ \end{question}
+ \begin{solution}
+ Dublin
+ \end{solution}
+
+ etc.
+
+ Certain counters are incremented by the question environment, and I'd
+ like to format the solution using these values before moving on the
+ next question, but not print it there. One way to do this would be to
+ get the solution environment within test.tex to write to another file
+ solution.tex or test.sol, and run LaTeX on this automatically produced
+ file; or just to have the solutions written to the auxiliary file,
+ like references, and cite them all at the end of document. Any
+ suggestions on what would be a good solution and how to implement it
+ would be much appreciated.

+Dear all,
+
+Is there any program which can remove bitmap-ed cm fonts
+from PostScript files generated by dvips and add references to
+type-1 outlines of cm fonts instead?
+
+Thanks in advance,

+Subject: notice regarding tex users group election
+
+ This notice was sent by email on 5 April 1997 to all TUG members
+ for whom TUG has email addresses. If anyone reading this notice
+ here is a member, but did not already receive a copy by email,
+ please let us know by sending a message to tug@mail.tug.org
+ including your correct, preferred email address. We intend to
+ use email more frequently in the future to communicate with
+ TUG members, and need your help to keep the records up to date.
+

+
+ Notice regarding 1997 TeX Users Group election
+
+The 1997 election for the TeX Users Group Board of Directors has
+now ended. Since there were fewer nominated candidates than vacant
+positions, in accordance with the Election Procedures, the candidates
+who did submit nomination papers are declared elected. No ballots
+will be circulated.
+
+The open positions, as announced, were President and six members
+of the Board of Directors.
+
+The following individuals will be taking positions on the Board
+of Directors for 4-year terms ending in 2001:
+
+ Donna Burnette
+ Mimi Jett
+ Patricia Monohon
+ Arthur Ogawa
+ Petr Sojka
+
+In the absence of a ballot, the statements of candidacy which would
+have appeared there will be published instead in TUGboat 18#1.
+
+Four Board members whose terms were due to end in 1998 had agreed
+that they would be willing for their terms to be extended to 1999
+to accommodate a change in the election schedule from annually to
+every two years (see the election announcement, TUGboat 17#3, p.240).
+Had there been a ballot, their names would have been listed there
+for confirmation by the membership. However, in the absence of a
+ballot, it is proposed that, in accordance with the Bylaws (Article
+VII, Section 10), the incoming President confirm the extension
+of their terms. These Board members are:
+
+ Barbara Beeton
+ Karl Berry
+ Judy Johnson
+ Jiri Zlatuska
+
+There is no candidate for TUG President. This poses a problem.
+Although the Bylaws and Election Procedures provide for the filling
+of vacant Board positions by appointment, no provision exists for
+the absence of a candidate for President. There is not sufficient
+time left before the annual meeting in July to solicit additional
+candidates and circulate ballots.
+
+In order to ensure that the necessary decisions are arrived at in
+a democratic manner, and that the incoming Board has some say in
+the matters which will affect them most directly, Michel Goossens,
+the outgoing President, has appointed the new members to the Board
+for a temporary period effective immediately, to expire when their
+regular term begins.
+
+It is proposed that individuals wishing to present themselves as
+candidates for President do so in the following manner, with the
+election be held during the annual TUG business meeting which will
+take place during the TUG annual meeting in San Francisco
+(July 28 - August 1).
+
+Any TUG member in good standing who will be present at the annual
+business meeting may submit a valid nomination form and supporting
+statement (see the announcement in TUGboat 17#3 or the TUG Web pages,
+http://www.tug.org) no later than Monday, July 28 (the first day
+of the meeting), and be prepared to present his/her program at the
+business meeting, (currently scheduled for Thursday, July 31).
+
+(All TUG members are reminded that except for certain transactions
+such as personnel matters, which legally are privileged, Board
+meetings are open to members as observers.) The Board meeting is
+scheduled to be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27, at the main
+meeting site; room details will be posted when available. Candidates
+for President are encouraged to attend.
+
+Nomination forms and supporting documentation should be submitted to
+the Elections Committee by one of two methods: (1) by July 15, sent
+to the address below rather than to the address given in the TUGboat
+announcement, or (2) July 26-28, brought to the meeting and delivered
+in person to one of the undersigned committee members. If sending
+forms by mail or fax, please confirm this to the Committee at the
+email address below; electronic copies of candidates' statements
+may also be sent to this address any time before the meeting.
+
+In order for this business to be transacted legally, at least 50 TUG
+members must be present to form a quorum (Bylaws, Article III, Section 6).
+It is therefore very important for members to attend this meeting, in order
+to help define the future of our organization.
