+Subject: Re: inverse limit symbol
+
+fernando gouvea wants an "inverse limit" symbol that will take
+limits.
+
+ ... This should be a usual
+ lim, with a left-pointing arrow under it, and it should be a "math operator
+ with limits", that is, one should be able to write something like \ilim_n
+ and get
+
+ lim
+ <--
+ n
+
+ with, of course, the right spacing and so on.
+
+this can be done quite easily, building on the existing ams-latex
+definition \varinjlim:
+
+ \newcommand{\ilim}{\mathop{\varinjlim}\limits}
+
+using it:
+
+ \[
+ abc \ilim_n def
+ \]
+
+of course, as in-line text, the lower limit will appear in subscript
+position.
+ -- bb

+
+Thanks. There's always something really easy one has missed!
+
+You mean \varprojlim, but this solution does seem to work fine. I've been
+using the following ugly hack:
+
+\newcommand{\ilim}[1]{\displaystyle\lim_{\xleftarrow[\hidewidth\scriptstyle
+ #1\hidewidth]{\hphantom{\mathrm{iii}}}}}
+
+which puts the arrow a bit lower than does \varprojlim. I'll have to
+experiment with both versions to see.
+
+bb> of course, as in-line text, the lower limit will appear in subscript
+bb> position.
+
+So one probably should just throw in a \displaystyle into the definition
+(at least for my taste!).

+
+Is there a collection of macros for producing symbols to denote semidirect
+product, besides the standard "bowtie" symbol? I have seen papers where a
+broken direct sum sign is used, for instance.
+
+Thanks!

+Subject: drawing a graphical representation of C structures
+
+Hi all,
+
+Would anyone know of an existing package that draws C structures? I'm after
+something that I can give a definition of a structure to, and have it draw a
+little box depicting the struct, with fields in it linked (i.e. pointing to)
+another struct box?
+
+I imagine I could build something like this myself with pstricks, but I
+wondered
+if it had already been done.
+
+best regards,
+Calum.
