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 + +------------------------------ + +From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta) +Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 14:25:12 -0700 (PDT) +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.
