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 +- ---------------------------------- +Massimo Pinto +Gray Laboratory C.R.T. +pinto@graylab.ac.uk +- ---------------------------------- + +------------------------------ + +Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 17:34:35 -0800 +From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta) +Subject: ANNOUNCE: version 22 of xdvi + + 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.
