+Subject: patgen
+
+Hi all,
+
+I'm looking for patgen.web. I found a man page, which says:
+ Frank Liang wrote the first version of this program. Peter
+ Breitenlohner made a substantial revision in 1991 for TeX 3.
+
+I would like to download a copy of this latest version. I can't, in fact,
+find any version of patgen.web in the TeX archives. Can anyone help me
+please? Thanks!

+Subject: tableofcontents and index problem in AMSLaTeX
+
+Dear La(TeX) users,
+
+I use AMSLaTeX (\documentclass[11pt]{amsbook}) and have problem with
+** tableofcontents **. I mean:
+- - there is no hyphenation when the titles of chapters or (sub)section
+ are long. e.g.:
+
+ CONTENTS
+ ....
+ 3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spherical cavity,
+ in a solid sphere and in a shell 30
+
+but there should be
+
+ 3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spheri-
+ cal cavity, in a solid sphere and in a shell.................. 30
+
+** Similar things happen when try to generate index **
+
+- - there is no the "dots" like below
+ 3.2.1 Some title .................................................... 20
+
+I have
+
+ 3.2.1 Some title 20
+
+instead.
+
+Could someone suggest what is going on ?
+
+When I use the 'book' class instead 'amsbook' the tableofcontents
+and 'index' are nice but I would
+prefer to use amsbook.
+
+If would be so kind please send the answer to 'krupa@alpha.sggw.waw.pl'
+because I have often trouble to access to the news so I could miss the
+answer.
+
+Best Regards
+
+Jan Krupa

+Subject: Upgrading to LaTeX(2e)
+
+In the late 1980's I bought a TeX package (version 2.09). I now need an
+upgrade to LaTeX(2e). I specifically need the style file epsfig.sty, but
+upon examining it I noted that it needs a number of other files aswell.
+Could you please advise me where I can obtain this package (LaTeX(2e)
+either commercially or by shareware. I am not a TeXpert, so I would not
+know hot to "upgrade," i. e., I probably would have to start with a brand
+new TeX/LaTeX.
+
+Thank you for your help!
