+From: "Massimo Pinto" <pinto@graylab.ac.uk>
+Subject: paper submission format
+
+Dear collegues,
+
+I have got to send a paper to a journal, and they need it with the figures
+all at the end, after the text, each in a single page, and the captions
+grouped together in a different page. Tables also have to be put at the end
+of the journal, all together, but they are printed with their caption.
+
+One way to produce such a format from the one in which the paper will
+appear is to move all the figures to the end, same for the tables, and move
+captions accordingly. Does anyone know an easier way, for example using
+some options in the article style?
+
+I use LaTeX2e from the MiKTeX distribution.
+
+Thanks,
+
+Massimo

+
+ ANNOUNCING xdvi version 22
+
+This is to announce that version 22 of xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files
+under the X Window System, has been released. It is available via anonymous
+ftp from the X Consortium ftp site,
+
+ ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/xdvi-22.tar.gz
+
+from CTAN sites
+
+ ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz
+ ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz
+ ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz
+
+and from a mirror site for any of the above.
+
+Version 22 of xdvi makes the following changes from version 21:
+
+ o Support for Motif.
+ o Support for displays with more than one visual, and a -noinstall
+ command line option to disable it.
+ o Support for installing a private colormap (-install command line
+ option).
+ o Configuration via a script generated by a modified GNU autoconf.
+ o An option to select the "x11alpha" driver when using Ghostscript
+ to display PostScript specials.
+ o Dimension arguments may now be given in terms of any of the TeX units
+ (pt, pc, in, bp, cm, mm, dd, cc, or sp).
+ o XDVISIZES values may now be of the form m0, m0.5, etc., signifying
+ magsteps.
+ o Handle rotated bounding boxes correctly when not showing PostScript.
+ o Allow the shrink factor to be automatically selected on the command
+ line.
+ o Change -hushspecials to -warnspecials, and suppress warnings about
+ undefined specials by default.
+
+A more detailed list of the changes is available at the xdvi web page,
+
+ http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html
+
+There is also a version of xdvi, called xdvik, that incorporates Karl Berry's
+kpathsea library for path searching. In addition, xdvik supports hypertex
+support and support for Omega. Version numbers of xdvik track those
+of xdvi, and version 22 of xdvik is now also available. It is available
+from CTAN and mirrors (but not ftp.x.org and mirrors) in
+/tex-archive/dviware/xdvik. For more details, see the xdvik web page,
+
+ http://www.math.uio.no/~janl/xdvi/
