+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.

+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.

+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:

+
+Philip Taylor,
+Chairman: TUG'98 Programme Committee
+
+P.S. Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message: it
+is being sent to all known TeX-related lists, and many of you may well
+be members of more than one such list.
