Berry" <kb@cs.umb.edu> +Date: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 15:40:59 -0500 (EST) +Subject: modes 3.3 available + +I have released version 3.3 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from + + ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf + ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/modes.mf + +and shortly from any CTAN site in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.3.mf. +finger ctan@tug.org for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors. + +News: + +New mode for the LaserJet 5, various alias name and dpi corrections. + +As always, thanks to the many contributors, and further additions and +improvements are welcome. Please send bug reports or suggestions to +tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join). + +General information: + +modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common +definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and +landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the +original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c) +or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I don't understand mf.web +well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some +Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it. + +If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the +existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition, +particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome. + +kb@cs.umb.edu + +mode_def agfafzz = % AGFA 400PS (406dpi) +mode_def agfatfzz = % AGFA P3400PS

+Date: Sat Jan 24 14:52:40 EST 1998 +Subject: TeXsis 2.17 is now available + + TeXsis Version 2.17 Released + ============================== + + The latest version the TeXsis macro package is now available, +either from CTAN:/macros/texsis or directly from the TeXsis ftp site +at ftp://lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu/texsis/. + + TeXsis is a Plain TeX macro package which provides useful features +for typesetting research papers and related documents, such as: + + * Automatic numbering of equations, figures, tables and references; + + * Simplified control of type sizes, line spacing, footnotes, running + headlines and footlines, and tables of contents, figures and tables; + + * Specialized document formats for research papers, preprints and + "e-prints," conference proceedings, theses, books, referee + reports, letters, and memoranda; + + * Simplified means of constructing an index for a book or thesis; + + * Easy to use double column formatting; + + * Specialized environments for lists, theorems and proofs, centered + or non-justified text, and listing computer code; + + * Specialized macros for easily constructing ruled tables; + +TeXsis was originally developed for physicists, but others may +also find it useful. It is completely compatible with Plain TeX. + + --- + +The most notable changes or additions to TeXsis in this version are: + + * All bug fixes from patches to TeXsis 2.16 are included in + TeXsis 2.17 (they were all pretty minor). + + * Support for using BibTeX to extract references from bibliographic + databases (it's easier to use than in LaTeX!). + + * The ability to change the colors in PostScript output, which is + useful for making overhead transparencies. (The style file + color.txs is a functional superset of colordvi.sty, but also + lets you push/pop the PostScript color stack.) + + * The less used form letter macros have been moved to a style file, + Formletr.txs. + + * It is now possible to print an envelope for a letter, simply by + adding \withEnvelope to the beginning of the manuscript file. + + * The internal format of the .aux file has been changed. Users + shouldn't notice this, but it will allow the use of tools and + packages that use this file (such as BibTeX) that were formerly + only available in LaTeX. + + * The manual has been improved. The installation instructions have + been slightly updated. The Makefile has been updated to match the + now common TeX Directory Structure. + + * Many other small additions and improvements. + +Those of you who have been using the beta version of 2.17 in the past +few months will find little changed, except that the manual has +recently been updated to match earlier changes to the source code. + +We plan on introducing macros for hyperTeX in a later release, +although some support already exists (but is not yet documented). + + --- + + To make it easier for the casual reader of electronic preprints +("e-prints") to print a TeXsis document we have also put all of the +core TeXsis macros into one source file (called mtexsis.tex), with all +the comments and blank lines removed. A reader who does not have +TeXsis on her/his system can then simply get this file, add "\input +mtexsis" to the manuscript file, and then process the paper with Plain +TeX. You can make your own e-print manuscript files automatically +load mtexsis.tex if it is needed by adding the following line at the +beginning of the manuscript file: + + \ifx\undefined\TeXsis \input mtexsis.tex\fi + +It is suggested that you try running such a manuscript through Plain TeX +with mtexsis.tex first to make sure that it works. + + --- + + As always, comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcomed, and +can be sent to us at: texsis@lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu. + + If you would like to join the TeXsis mailing list, just drop us an +e-mail note to that effect at the same address. + + If you received this message via the mailing list but do not want +to be on the list then just send us a note and we will take you off. +We only maintain the list to send out notices about TeXsis, we don't +give the list out to anybody else. + +Eric Myers <myers@umich.edu> +High Energy Theoretical Physics Tel: 734-763-4325 +Department of Physics Fax: 734-763-2213 +University of Michigan, Ann Arbor http://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/~myer +. + +------------------------------ + +From: Philip Taylor (RHBNC) <CHAA006@vms.rhbnc.ac.uk> +Date: Mon, 26 Jan 1998 15:13:10 GMT +Subject: Tug'98: Final call for papers closes this week. + +Dear Colleague -- A final reminder that the Call for Papers for TUG'98 closes +this week. Papers received after 30th January are very unlikely to be +considered, so I urge anyone considering offering a paper or poster session +to communicate with the Programme Committee with maximum urgency. + +The 1998 TeX User Group conference, TUG'98 will take place in Torun, Poland, +between 17th and 21st August 1998. The theme of the conference is +"Integrating +TeX with the Surrounding World", and papers which specifically address that +theme will be most welcome, although papers on any topic which is relevant to +TeX, typography, and/or electronic publishing will be considered. If you are +considering proposing a paper or offering a poster session, please be aware +that the last date for receipt of proposals is 30th January 1998. Further +details are available from the TUG'98 web pages: + + http://www.tug.org/tug-98/ (general information) + http://www.tug.org/tug-98/call.html (call for papers) + +If for any reason the TUG server is down, the same documents can be found at: + + http://www.rhbnc.ac.uk/tug-98/ (general information) + http://www.rhbnc.ac.uk/tug-98/call.html (call for papers) + +Philip Taylor, +Chairman: TUG'98 Programme Committee + +P.S.
