+I use plain, I hope this helps:
+
+\def\boxeq#1{\vcenter{\hrule\hbox{\vrule\vbox{\kern 8 pt
+\hbox{$\kern 3,5 pt\displaystyle #1\kern 3,5 pt$}\kern 8 pt}\vrule}\hrule}
+.
+
+Usage: $$\boxeq{formula}$$. To get equation numbers you'll have to use
+your way. I have my own macros for numbering. It works well for me;
+numbers appear outside the box.
+
+If I understand your drawing correctly, you want numbers on the left
+and outside of the box. I don't like this. You can use \eqalignno
+inside the box, but the box will include the numbers, which is ugly
+but logical.

+Subject: greek packages
+
+he Ibycus4 package (the name is a intended as a tribute to David
+Packard's Ibycus system, but this package has no connection with
+any work done by the Packard Humanities Institute) is available
+on osman.classics.washington.edu
+[128.95.170.63] in ~ftp/pub/tex, in 4 forms.
+
+1. iby4str is a streamed SVR4 (Solaris) package, ready for installation
+
+2, iby4str.gz is the same thing gzipped. There doesn't seem to be any
+way to zcat such a file and pipe it into pkgadd. gunzip has to
+be used as a separate operation/
+
+3. ibycus4.tar.gz is a SVR4 (Solaris) package in spool directory format
+if untarred into the directory /var/spool/pkg it is ready for pkgadd
+
+4. ibycus4.zip is for non-Unix sites. It includes all the genuine files
+of Ibycus4 in an 8+3 TDS-conformant style, but not the symbolic links
+that make life pleasanter in the Unix world.
+
+There are also 4 similarly organized files of the Silvio Levy's sources
+levystr levystr.gz levygrk.tar.gz levygrk.zip
+These contain the unaltered files collected from a CTAN archive in 1994
+reorganized into a TDS-conformant package.
+
+Further on Ibycus4
+
+Changes in setwidths have been made, so spacing will be a bit different
+(and better, I hope). Some small improvements in input coding are
+made (the 4 distinguishes the new input coding from the old 3 coding).
+For other details see the README file.
+
+Here is the relevant extract from the README file. Ibycus3 is what
+was previously known as ibygrk.
+
+ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+ NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CODINGS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IBYCUS3
+ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+ I have tried to keep incompatible codings to the minimum
+ but the ibycus3 versions of the following were extremely
+ undesirable. These are all simplifications of ibycus3 coding.
+ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+ The mark of elision is ' or {'} (the form in braces may be
+ needed to prevent ' from being read as an accent).
+ Single quotes may be provided by ` {`} and ' {'}, (isolate them
+ in braces if necessary). Double quotes are `` {``} and
+ '' {''} (isolate in braces if necessary). < and > are the
+ angle brackets used for conjectural supplements.
+ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+The prefix in Karl Berry's font-naming scheme is "fib". The full
+naming scheme is provided in the README file.

+Subject: Making (La)TeX beep
+
+Dear all,
+
+A small and seemingly simple question, how does one make (La)TeX
+beep (ie exude a BEL control code)? I'm currently writing a special
+warning (for a \todo command) that will write to screen what I want
+to do, and beep to make sure it gets noticed (in much the same way a
+LaTeX error does, but without stopping processing). I can do the
+screenwriting, but for the life of me I can't find the code that
+makes the think beep anywhere in the source! And if I try the method
+suggested in the TeXbook all I end up doing is writing variations of
+'007 to the screen...
+
+Any help or working code fragments that anyone could provice would be
+gratefully accepted, cos it's driving me nuts!
+
+Cheers in advance
+
+Darren

+Subject: Announcing gsftopk 1.14
+
+This is to announce that version 1.14 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.
+
+In addition to various bug fixes, this version:
+
+ 1. Prints out the version of ghostscript being used along with its own
+ version number.
+
+ 2. Is ported to Windows 95/NT (courtesy of Fabrice Popineau).
+
+ 3. Make some changes to the PostScript environment to accommodate
+ dotlessj.pro
+
+ 4. Allow psfonts.map lines with several ``specinfo'' strings, such as
+
+ ptmr8r Times-Roman ".167 SlantFont" "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont"
+
+The upgraded version is available from CTAN in the file:
+
+ tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.14.tar.gz
+
+Recall that CTAN is one of the following hosts:
+
+ tug2.cs.umb.edu
+ ftp.dante.de
+ ftp.tex.ac.uk
+
+or one of their numerous mirror sites.
