+
+TeX User Group members should soon receive their first TUGboat of 1997,
+Volume 18 Number 1.
+
+If you do not see your expected TUGboat arrive within two weeks
+(possibly later for addresses outside the USA), please notify the TeX
+User Group by replying to this message.
+
+If you are not currently a member of TUG and are interested in this
+group, please see our home page at http://www.tug.org. The very poplar
+TeX Live CD-ROM 2 is now bundled with TUG membership; please see the

+Subject: SliTeX
+
+Hi friends!:
+I have a question: I need to use the Slitex.
+ I tried to install it using the disk08 where I could
+find the file slitex.zip. I followed the steps indicated to install
+a disk : using the 4install.bat. The installation, apparently, was ok
+all the files from the diskette were copied to the directory c:\emtex
+where I installed the latex. But, when I tried to use it I got a
+an error message:
+!Latex Error: Unkown option 'errorshow' for package 'tracefnt'
+...
+1.270 \DeclareSymbolFont
+ <bold>{OT1}{cmr}{bx}
+ {n}
+Question: What does it mean?
+ Can you tell where to find the slitex and how do I must install
+it so I can use it?
+Thank you very much!

+
+Another draft (0.9994) of the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standards document
+is now available from:
+ http://www.tug.org/tds/
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds.tar.gz
+
+The DVI file is:
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds/tds.dvi
+
+Soon it will be on CTAN as well, in the `tds' directory.
+(finger ctan@mail.tug.org for a list of CTAN hosts.)
+
+The only differences from 0.9993 are a revised section on AmiWeb2c from
+the author and some editorial changes. If no problems arise from the
+discussion at the upcoming TUG 97 meeting (http://www.tug.org/tug97/),
+this will become version 1.0.

+Subject: TeX Graphic Package?
+
+Greetings To Tex UK,
+I have just started to use Tex (in it's standard form) ver 3.141. I am
+endeavouring to produce fairly complex standard documents(tax forms,
+governmental forms etc).
+
+My question: I am trying to produce fairly exact
+documents. As a beginner ( and someone who has spent most
+of my adult life in the world of windows) I find TeX difficult to use. Are there
+Graphics packages (with a GUI) which produce TeX code? Which ones would you
+recommend, and how can I get them quickly (help). Our operating system is SUN OS
+5.4 generic sun4m. and we currently using TeX 3.141.
+
+A second question: We are also trying to run TeX on a Sequent system(DYNIX 4.0
+V4.1.2 i386). We are encountering problems compiling the TeX code. Is there a
+pre-compiled executable available somewhere which runs under this system?
+
+Shane Hoey.

+Subject: boxed, multiline formula
+
+Could somebody explain (or only suggest) to me how to get the following
+"boxed and displayed formula" (I need it to have in book) or may be
+there is some macro (LaTeX2e) which does it or may be somebody could send me
+some private macro:
+ _____________________________________________
+ | |
+ | e.g.: \iint_D xydxdy |
+(1) | formula 1 \sum.... |
+ | .... |
+ | |
+ | e.g.: \lim.. |
+ | formula2 .... |
+(2) | ..... |
+ | |
+ |_____________________________________________|
+
+or
+ _____________________________________________
+ | |
+ | e.g.: \iint_D xydxdy |
+(1) | formula 1 \sum.... |
+ | .... |
+ |_____________________________________________|
+ | |
+ | e.g.: \lim.. |
+ | formula2 .... |
+(2) | ..... |
+ | |
+ |_____________________________________________|
+
+I would like to have the box horizontal and vertical centered
+and automatically numbered.
+I would prefer to have it in LaTeX2e (AMSLaTeX)
+
+It was told to use minipage environment so
+I have tried to use 'minipage' and 'tabular' environments but the results
+are rather poor, the places of numbers are not adjusted and the width of
+the box is not equal to the width of textwidth (ho to do that?) :
