+
+Welcome to the second issue of \TTN. With each issue, I hope you'll
+find more of what you're looking for. If not --- send something in
+yourself!
+
+Our feature article, ``\TeX{} in Japan'', is almost a roundup of the
+various approaches being followed to make \TeX{} work in the Japanese
+environment. The list of publications now available to the Japanese
+user of \TeX\ is also quite impressive.
+
+The ``Typographer's Inn'' with Peter Flynn is back, with some
+interesting comments and suggestions following up on his first column.
+Peter has also created a few new lists for you to subscribe to --- in
+case you don't have enough to read and keep track of!
+
+Good news to report on the books listed in the last issue --- reviews
+of Beccari, Eijkhout, and Hahn will all be appearing in {\sl
+TUGboat\/} 13 \#2, while the Seroul/Levy book was reviewed in 13 \#1
+(pp.\ 57--58). There's a new subsection in ``New Publications'', where
+I hope to list the latest issues of newsletters from other \TeX{} user
+groups. If you know of any others, do let me know.
+
+The regular columns on \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ tricks, \AllTeX\ news, and
+news on happenings in other user groups are all here again.
+
+A note of interest: a TUG member, Mr.\ Robert Otness, asked me for
+TTN's .sty file to use as a base for his own newsletter. Well, the
+first issue of the {\sl Journal of the Oughtred
+Society\/}\footnote[1]{``\dots\ a newsletter for people interested in
+the history and collection of slide rules.''} finally arrived, also
+done in \LaTeX. Congratulations to Mr.\ Otness on his newsletter ---
+welcome to the editors' club! Actually, once the TTN macros have
+settled down, we'll probably have a brief write-up on them.
+
+And in other news: the 1992 Knuth Scholarship has been awarded to
+\dots\ well, you'll just have to come to TUG'92 to find out who! So,
+get ready to come to Portland and enjoy yourselves at the end of July
+--- lots of fun and games, interesting talks and panels and workshops,
+courses to take, and when you've had your fill of the meeting, there's
+still all of Portland and the local area to explore.
+
+Have a pleasant and relaxing summer, and if I don't see you at the
+Portland meeting, we'll meet again in the September/October issue of
+\TTN.

+\Section{\LaTeX3, TUG, and You}
+
+My goal for this article is to introduce myself to {\small TUG}
+members as the liaison for the \LaTeX3 project and {\em
+particularly\/} to invite their participation.\footnote[1]{[First
+report appeared in \TTN\ 1(1):4--6.]}
+
+My own involvement with the technical aspects of the project is
+peripheral at best. The {\small TUG} Board of Directors has begun
+implementing a policy whereby we identify and attempt to expedite the
+work of worthy \TeX{} projects by whatever means in our power. To
+that end, liaison personnel have been appointed to approach project
+leaders to see if the project would like to team up with the liaison.
+The connection can be as active or passive as an individual project
+deems appropriate.
+
+While there has been no effort to quantify the concept of ``worthy
+\TeX{} project,'' it seems clear that the \LaTeX3 project qualifies by
+any standard, and I was asked to serve in the liaison capacity.
+Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, thoughts,
+or donations pertaining to \LaTeX3. (You can reach me by mail at
+17~Bay Avenue, Huntington, NY~11743, USA or on Bitnet at {\tt
+ajhjj@cunyvm}, and I do hope to hear from you.)
+
+\subsection*{The \LaTeX3 project: some background}
+
+The 1989 {\small TUG} meeting at Stanford saw the birth of this
+project. As a result of many late-night discussions, Leslie Lamport
+(author of the current version of \LaTeX) and Frank Mittelbach (now
+the Technical Director of the \LaTeX3 project) determined a strategy
+for rewriting the \LaTeX{} macros. The \LaTeX3 project will produce a
+public domain document preparation system which combines the power and
+excellence of \TeX's typesetting capabilities with ease of use for
+authors, editors, and designers. The guiding principle for the
+original \LaTeX{} continues: generic document mark-up is to be
+separate from the visual formatting of the document. (For example,
+you indicate that a certain paragraph is the abstract, and let
+\LaTeX{} worry about what the abstract part of your paper looks like.)
+
+The major difference in the new version will be the addition of a
+workable, simple interface through which designers can specify how
+classes of documents should look. It will also contain many detailed
+enhancements and extensions to cover wider classes of documents. The
+code will be designed and documented in a way that makes future
+maintenance and extensions straightforward.
+
+The project team will produce full documentation of all parts of the
+system. If you use \LaTeX{} now, you will be glad to learn that you
+will have access to a variety of tools for easily upgrading your
+existing documents to the new system.
+
+The project team is committed to making sure that the TUG and \TeX{}
+community remains fully informed about the progress and status of the
+work. (That is one of the duties of the liaison.)
+
+About a half-dozen modules which extend the functionality of
+\LaTeX2.09 have been produced over the last few years. These are also
+intended to test possible concepts for the new version. The modules
+include a new font selection scheme ({\small NFSS}), robust
+multicolumn and verbatim environments, an extended tabular
+environment and a new theorem environment. While \LaTeX3 will be
+written from scratch and not by just adding features piecemeal to the
+old implementation, these modules will provide you with a chance to
+use features which will be available in the same or similar form in
+the new product.
+
+The easiest way to get these modules (each of which includes
+documentation on installation and use) is from someone who already has
+them. Otherwise, they may be downloaded from all major software
+archives. (Unfortunately, this route is open almost exclusively to
+those with access to the various computer networks that encircle the
+globe. Consult the 1991 {\it TUG Resource Directory\/} for
+information on access to these archives and how to download from
+them.)
+
+\subsection*{Project personnel}
+
+The core of the \LaTeX3 project team is gratifyingly international.
+The Technical Director is Frank Mittelbach (Germany) and the team's
+activities are co-managed by Chris Rowley (United Kingdom) and Rainer
+Sch\"opf (Germany). Other members come from Germany, France, Denmark,
+Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.
+
+\subsection*{How you can help}
+
+As always, concrete support in the form of money leads the list of
+things needed. The team works hard and steals time from family,
+friends, and real-life employers in order to work on the new \LaTeX.
+Team members are humble, frugal souls, but every so often the key
+members must travel to meet together to discuss their next set of
+goals, and so on.
+
+To that end, a \LaTeX3 Fund has been set up, to be administered by
+{\small TUG}. As of this writing (early June), the fund contains
+about US\$3,000. In addition to meeting travel expenses, it will be
+used for essential hardware upgrades and whatever else is essential
+for the progress of the project.
+
+Your contribution to this worthy effort is earnestly solicited. In
+fact, if you looked closely at your {\small TUG} renewal form, you may
+have noticed an item on the form for the fund. If you have not done
+so, please give serious thought to making a contribution.
+
+Of course, contributions in the form of state-of-the-art computer
+hardware will also be greatly appreciated.
+
+The list of corporate and educational institutions which have
+supported the project in various ways is long and noble --- to date it
+includes:
+Addison-Wesley,
+American Mathematical Society,
+ArborText,
+Aston University,
+Blue Sky Research,

+\Section{Update on \TeX{} in Japan}
+
+\subsection*{Introduction}
+
+Unlike the English alphabet (which is made up of phonograms), many
+Japanese characters are ideograms; that is, they are symbols
+representing things or ideas. This means that Japanese has many more
+characters than European languages.
+
+There have been various efforts made to develop a version of \TeX{}
+which could treat Japanese characters. Several articles about the
+process and results have appeared in {\sl TUGboat\/} over the past few
+years.\footnote[1]{[See, for example, N.~Saito and Kitagawa (1988),
+Y.~Saito (1988), Kitagawa and N.~Saito (1988), Hamano (1990), Miyabe
+et al (1990), Kakiuchi et al (1991).]} A number of books have now been
+published using \TeX, so it seems that there are indeed practical
+applications for \TeX{} in Japan.
+
+This report will describe the current Japanese version of \TeX{} and the
+circumstances surrounding it. The first point to make is that a
+Japanese version of \TeX{} can only work under an operating
+system that has been ``Japanized''. That is, the problems of inputting
+Japanese characters and working with an editor which can treat Japanese
+have been resolved in the operating system.
+
+\subsection*{A Japanese version of \TeX}
+
+At present, there are 6,353 kanji characters available on various
+types of computers. These characters are defined as {\small JIS}
+levels 1 or 2.\footnote{JIS stands for Japan Industrial Standard;
+consider it as akin to {\footnotesize ASCII} in the United States.
+See also Beebe (1990).} Incidentally, we Japanese must learn 1,945
+characters at school by age fifteen.
+
+Two-byte code is used to represent the more than 6,000 characters on
+our computers. One-byte code English words are mixed in the same
+sentence at times with the two-byte code. That is, a Japanese
+document may have both 8-bit and 16-bit code. \TeX, as you know, is
+designed to operate with one-byte code, so we cannot use two-byte code
+with \TeX{} in its original condition. Another limitation is that no
+more than 256 characters can be used within one font set.
+
+To make a Japanese version of \TeX, we must manage to use over 6,000
+Japanese characters in the same way as when we use the original \TeX.
+Of course, we have to keep in mind upward compatibility with both the
+source level and the manipulation level.
+
+Two approaches have been used to solve these problems of Japan\-izing
+\TeX. Each has its merits and demerits, and each has gained ground.
+
+\subsubsection{NTT \JTeX}
+
+One of those approaches is called {\small NTT} \JTeX, developed by
+Yasuki Saito of Nippon Telephone \& Telegraph ({\small NTT}).
+
+The basic principle used by Saito was to keep changes and deviations
+from the original \TeX{} to a minimum. He divided the Japanese font
+into groups comprising fewer than 256 characters and explicit ``real
+Japanese characters'', using only one-byte code. For more details,
+see Y.~Saito (1987).
+
+Some of the advantages and disadvantages include:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Comparatively few changes:\\
+ It can use the original format of \TeX{} font files and the
+ printer drivers. There is no need to change \TeX{} itself if
+ Japanese characters are converted into the subfont (one-byte
+ + character code).
+
+ \item Limited typeface styles:\\
+ \TeX{} can only handle 256 fonts at a time; as well, it
+ considers each font size to be a completely different font.
+ When we divide kanji into fewer than 256 characters, one kanji
+ font corresponds to scores of \TeX{} fonts. This means that
+ font availability is severely limited. (However, this isn't a
+ major problem because ordinarily people usually use only 2 kinds
+ of font sets.)
+
+ \item Inconsistency of fonts:\\
+ Because each font is divided into plural parts, even though it
+ should be essentially one, we cannot use functions such as kerning
+ which are supported only in the same font.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The latest version of {\small NTT} \JTeX{} is 1.06, based on \TeX{}
+2.95. At present, {\small NTT} \JTeX{} is confirmed as running on
+{\small UNIX}, {\small VAX/VMS}, {\small DOS}, and various mainframes.
+These are all distributed as public domain software.
+
+The original printer drivers for \TeX{} can be used with no changes.
+However, it is necessary to use printer-resident Japanese fonts such
+as are available for PostScript printers, or one has to get the
+commercial font for {\small NTT} \JTeX.
+
+\subsubsection{ASCII Japanese \TeX}
+
+Another approach to the problem is demonstrated in the {\small ASCII}
+Corporation's Japanese \TeX. {\small ASCII} publishes computer books and
+magazines and develops software especially for {\small UNIX}. {\small
+ASCII} Japanese \TeX{} was developed by the corporation's software
+development section, and its publishing section has put it to
+practical use.
+
+The underlying principle in {\small ASCII} Japanese \TeX{} is to have a
+unified operation for Japanese; that is, \TeX{} can operate on one-byte
+code and two-byte code in the same way. In order to do this, {\small
+ASCII} enhanced the {\tt tfm} files as well as \TeX{} itself. It uses
+one kanji font set, including the more than 6,000 characters as just
+one font. (The change file contains about 7,000 lines.)
+
+The result is that it doesn't have 100\% compatibility with the
+internal operation of the original \TeX, and the following portions
+cannot pass the {\tt trip} test:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item section of the messages have been changed in order to cope
+ with Japanese
+ \item conditions of memory use
+\end{enumerate}
+
+However, the output made from the file, which contains only one-byte
+code, is the same as if made by the original \TeX. And under these
+conditions, we can use original macros without changes. For example,
+if we get only the macro file of \AmSTeX, we can easily make a
+Japanized version of it.
+
+{\small ASCII} Japanese \TeX{} has the following merits and demerits:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Extensive revision work to do:\\
+ Not only must \TeX{} itself be Japanized, but also the various
+ related file formats and utility programs have to be reworked.
+
+ \item No limit to fonts used:\\
+ One font includes all the Japanese characters. So we can use up
+ to 256 fonts including Western characters and Japanese
+ characters. {\small NTT} \JTeX{} cannot treat so many fonts
+ because it divides a Japanese font into a lot of \TeX{} fonts.
+ {\small ASCII} Japanese \TeX, on the other hand treats one
+ Japanese font as one \TeX{} font. Practically, we can
+ use the same kinds of fonts as the original \TeX, at the same
+ time.
+
+ \item Able to supplement functions at will:\\
+ To typeset Japanese documents beautifully, {\small ASCII}
+ supplements some primitives.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The most notable special feature is the number of fonts which can be
+used at the same time. In fact, some printing houses print with more
+than 20 different Japanese font sets, using the resident fonts of the
+typesetter.
+
+The latest version of {\small ASCII} Japanese \TeX{} is 1.60, based on
+\TeX{} 2.99. It is currently running on {\small UNIX}, {\small DOS}
+and various mainframes; the {\small UNIX} version is available via
+anonymous ftp from {\tt ftp.ascii.co.jp}(133.152.32.11).
+
+The distribution includes the following printer drivers: Canon {\small
+LBP8}, LaserShot, Imagen, PostScript printers (dvi2ps), Sony News, and
+X11 previewer.
+
+Most of these drivers use the printer's resident Japanese fonts. In
+distribution, you can also get {\tt tfm} files for point sizes 5
+through 10 of the two standard kinds of Japanese typefaces. These
+{\tt tfm} files are based on the fonts presented by the DaiNippon
+Printing Co., but there is almost no problem using printer-resident
+Japanese fonts.
+
+The utilities MakeIndex and \BibTeX{} are also available with Japanized
+\TeX.
+
+\subsubsection{\pTeX}
+
+Japanese sentences can be written in two ways, horizontally or
+vertically. Scientific documents are usually written as horizontal
+text. Novels and magazines are usually written as vertical text.
+
+Both {\small NTT} \JTeX{} and {\small ASCII} Japanese \TeX{} support
+only horizontal text because \TeX{} is usually used in scientific
+environments.
+
+{\small ASCII} has devised a version of \TeX{} which can produce
+vertical text, in order to use it in general publishing. They call it
+``\pTeX'' (for ``publishing \TeX), which supports vertical
+typesetting. Since \pTeX{} is an extended version of {\small ASCII}
+Japanese \TeX, it also supports horizontal typesetting. Hamano (1990)
+provides more information on the development of \pTeX.
+
+\pTeX{} for the {\small UNIX} environment is included in the {\small
+ASCII} Japanese \TeX{} distribution, available via anonymous ftp from
+the same address given above.
+
+\subsection*{\TeX{} applications in Japan}
+
+In Japan as elsewhere, \TeX{} is used mainly in the academic
+environment: people use it to write theses, reports, and letters.
+Some write their course books and computer operations guidebook with
+\TeX{} or \LaTeX. Furthermore, I hear some colleges provide lectures
+on \TeX{} and \LaTeX.
+
+In offices, \TeX{} is used for personal correspondence, reports,
+letters, and so on. Some offices use \TeX{} or \LaTeX{} for writing
+technical computer documents with limited circulation, mainly because
+of lower costs.
+
+Some ten publishing companies in Japan are bringing out publications
+produced with \TeX. {\small ASCII} Corporation has published 80
+titles, including thirteen which are typeset vertically. They have
+also been marked up with {\small SGML}.
+
+I believe the Kyoritsu Publishing Company has brought out seven
+titles; Iwanami has brought out three books, and a few scientific
+publishing companies are using \TeX. Journals from the Japan Society
+for Software Science and Technology, the Japan Society of Information
+and Knowledge, and so on are also using \TeX.
+
+\subsection*{Connections between users}
+
+Most people who can access networks are able to get information from
+groups such as {\tt comp.text.tex}, {\small FAQ} lists, etc. There is
+also a newsgroup called {\tt fj.comp.texhax}, where questions
+can be posted in Japanese. In fact, I collected some information for
+this report by posting a message.
+
+Members of the \TeX{} Users Group get {\sl TUGboat\/}, which is
+important.
+
+Those who live in the Tokyo area can attend meetings of the Japan
+\TeX{} Users Group, which are held twice a year. Proceedings from the
+meetings are distributed by {\small JTUG}.
+
+I was not able to collect information about other \TeX{} users who
+don't have network access, or are not members of {\small TUG}. I think these
+people probably get some of their information about \TeX{} from
+computer magazines.
+
+\subsubsection{Japanese \TeX{} Users Group}
+
+The Japanese \TeX{} Users Group is a special interest group of the
+Japan Society for Software Science and Technology. The president is
+Prof.~Saito, Keio University.
+
+Membership in {\small JTUG} is free, and all members are volunteers.
+Meetings are held twice a year, either at a college or the seminar
+room of a company near Tokyo. At the meetings, we usually have a few
+presentations, seminars, announcements, lectures, and so on. There
+are about 500 members in {\small JTUG}, and more than 100 members
+attend each meeting.
+
+\subsection*{Books on \TeX}

+
+\noindent A large and interesting emailbag resulted from February's
+column, so I make no apology for concentrating here on the points
+which people raised.
+
+Important stuff first: the ``significant typographic change'' in
+February's column was the use of small caps for \TeX{} and \LaTeX.
+First off the mark were two honest typographists who had sight of
+{\small TTN} before it was mailed out to the world, and who thus
+excluded themselves from competition. They were closely followed by
+Jim Fox from the University of Washington, who spotted the reduced
+size but missed the face being small caps. The first completely
+correct public reply was from Timothy Larkin at Cornell. However, as
+I'm feeling generous, both Jim and Tim can claim a beer from me in
+Portland.
+
+Almost all the messages about this said they thought it was an
+improvement to use small caps this way. Our editor, Christina Thiele,
+says she prefers using 9pt roman caps rather than the 10pt small caps
+font for acronyms and the like. Has anyone else experimented with this
+kind of variation?
+
+People also commented on the use of oldstyle numerals: this is a
+personal quirk, and I feel that the small caps font of a face like
+Computer Modern should contain oldstyle numerals. One reader asked if
+the typewriter typeface small caps in {\tt cmtcsc10} should be used
+for acronyms when using {\tt tt}. I'm not sure about this, but judge
+for yourselves below. (This was Tom Reid from Texas A\&M --- the
+absence of an acceptable small ampersand in {\tt cmcsc10} precludes
+that common abbreviation being set as {\sc a\&m}!)
+
+A few people spotted the deliberate intrusive apostrophe, the use of
+an en-rule in `{\tt ftp}--accessible', and the distinction between
+single quotes for citation and double quotes for quotation. The
+lighter color of ink, however, was not deliberate, but a machining
+fault. Several people also liked the use of punctuation after closing
+quotes where the punctuation is not a part of the quotation itself. I
+have preferred this ever since I argued with my English teacher in
+high school about it, and it's been a pet perversion ever since.
+
+As promised, I have set up a new list, {\ttsc typo-l}, on {\tt
+listserv@irlearn.ucd.ie}. To subscribe, send a one-line mail saying
+{\tt sub typo-l {\ttsl $\langle$forename$\,\rangle$
+$\langle$surname$\,\rangle$}} (users on {\small BITNET} itself can
+address it interactively without the `{\tt .ucd.ie}'). Nelson Beebe
+remarked that of the current 1600 or so newsgroups carried by Usenet
+news, neither of the strings `{\tt typo}' or `{\tt dtp}' occurs in any
+of the newsgroup names. When I get better news access shortly, I might
+look at starting something, although many news hosts now replicate
+{\small BITNET} lists in the {\tt bit.listserv} hierarchy. Bernard
+Gaulle asked how a discussion of French (or indeed any other
+non-English typography) might be carried on using English as the
+medium of information exchange: any suggestions?
+
+Thank you to all those who sent in bibliographies of books on
+typography. I will shortly be sending these out on the {\ttsc typo-l}
+list, so they can also be retrieved from the logs kept by {\tt
+listserv} in the normal way. I will also put them on {\tt
+curia.ucc.ie} for {\tt ftp} access in {\tt pub/typography/biblio.*}
+(Karl Berry reminds me that ``Nelson Beebe maintains a huge collection
+of {\tt .bib} files on {\tt math.utah.edu}, in {\tt pub/tex/bib}'').
+
+Which brings me to an apology to Karl for omitting to mention his {\tt
+eplain} macros, which do substantially what I was seeking: \LaTeX-like
+text management without \LaTeX-like pre-emptive design. I've started
+to use them (and pester Karl for extra things) and I think they are
+extremely useful. Thanks to William McKeehan of Tennessee for
+pointing this out.
+
+Chris Carruthers asked for some more specifics on how to critique
+{\small DTP} systems (``surely they get the baselines straight at
+least?''). Alas they don't: you probably have noticed the infamous bug
+in PageMaker which gives more leading between lines~1 and~2 of a
+paragraph than between the second and subsequent lines. He also
+mentions some other horrors: quoted text where the open quote appears
+as a close quote; italic typefaces (especially in large sizes) where
+the `{\it fi\/}' ligature (if any) is not used and the `{\it f\/}'
+then collides with the `{\it i\/}'; similarly an italic `{\it f\/}'
+followed by a roman colon; uneven spacing between words on the same
+line of type; the use of bold and italics for emphasis --- in the same
+paragraph (``oops \dots\ that was in the last issue of {\small TTN}''
+he says: can you spot it?).
+
+Finally, a question of style which arose recently. I've just finished
+typesetting a draft of ``The Ladies' Defence'' by Mary, Lady
+Chudleigh, which was first published in 1701, for which I used an
+{\small SGML} text provided by Elaine Brennan of the Women Writers
+Project ({\small WWP}) at Brown University. An unresolved question is
+whether or not a modern working edition for scholars should attempt to
+reproduce the nuances and flavor of what is essentially a
+seventeenth-century work (despite the publication date). I am not
+trying to make a typographic facsimile --- that would be a specialised
+task for antiquarians --- but I felt that making a modern paperback
+edition (narrow margins, Times Roman 9/10pt and little visual
+interest) would be at odds with the lively style of writing and the
+vagaries of setting which are manifest in the original. The {\small
+WWP} is doing excellent work in making authoritative copies of
+otherwise unobtainable texts by women writers, using {\small SGML}
+markup to preserve the detail of the originals, and it seemed logical
+to take advantage of this where it existed. Perhaps those who are
+interested in commenting on this could look it over: the results are
+on {\tt curia.ucc.ie} in {\tt pub/tex/defence.dvi}~.

+
+{ % delimit effects of macros:
+\newdimen\argwidth

+ \setbox0=\hbox{$#1$}\argwidth=\wd0
+ \setbox0=\hbox{$\left[\box0\right]$}\advance\argwidth by -\wd0
+ \left[\kern.3\argwidth\box0\kern.3\argwidth\right]}
+
+The May 1992 issue of {\sl The American Mathematical Monthly\/}
+contains an article by none other than Donald E.~Knuth (``Two notes on
+notation,'' 99(5):403--422) that discusses a couple of notational
+conventions that he has found useful. One was to use the notation
+$[\phi]$, for a predicate $\phi$ (that usually contains free
+variables) to be the numerical function that takes on the value 1 or 0
+depending on whether $\phi$ is true or false. For example, $[x=y]$ is
+the numerical function that is 1 when $x=y$ and is 0 when $x\neq y$.
+Interestingly, many of my colleagues doing topos theory and other
+non-standard logics had been using similar notation $\[\phi\]$ for the
+same thing for at least two decades. The only difference was that the
+function could take on values other than simply 0 or 1, depending on
+the logic involved. Knuth credits his use of this to Kenneth
+Iverson's {\small APL}, but our usage was certainly independent of that.
+
+I originally generated these double brackets as suggested in {\em The
+\TeX book}, page 437: \verb|\def\[{[\![}|, which, as Knuth remarks,
+works reasonably well in normal size. After reading Knuth's article,
+I began to wonder if the double brackets could be made to grow, just
+like delimiters. The code above does not work when you replace $[$
+and $]$ by \verb|\left[| and \verb|\right]| since in larger sizes a
+backspace of \verb|\thinmuskip| was just not the right amount. A
+number of experiments convinced me that the \verb|\left| and
+\verb|\right| macros simply did not work when they were in an
+\verb|\hbox| of their own, so I could not see how to measure the size
+of the generated delimiters. Posting the question on {\tt info-tex}
+brought no useful suggestions.
+
+Finally, I decided that I could measure the width of the argument with
+and without the delimiters to work out the size of the backspace.
+Following a suggestion from Donald Arseneau on how to delimit the
+argument, I finally came up with the following:
+\vspace{-6pt}
+{\small
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newdimen\argwidth
+\def\[#1\]{\setbox0=\hbox{$#1$}\argwidth=\wd0
+ \setbox0=\hbox{$\left[\box0\right]$}\advance\argwidth by -\wd0
+ \left[\kern.3\argwidth\box0\kern.3\argwidth\right]}
+\end{verbatim}
+}
+\vspace{-6pt}
+\noindent For example, the code \verb|$\[\sum_{i\in I}A_i=A\]$|
+generates: $\[\sum_{i\in I}A_i=A\]$.
+
+I should mention that there are some fonts due to Alan Jeffrey called
+the St.~Mary Road fonts that include this symbol as a symbol that
+grows. They are not currently generally available by anonymous ftp,
+but that may be remedied shortly. Keep in mind that the use of such
+fonts makes text non-portable.

+Both the regular \LaTeX\ command \verb|\int| and the command

+scope of the Index (whose release is now imminent) includes all macros
+that are available via anonymous ftp or mail-server or some similar
+mechanism. Priority is given to the major archives (Aston, Stuttgart,
+{\small SHSU} and ymir). The Index covers a variety of packages,

+\subsection*{The Recent Updates to \LaTeX\ 2.09}
+
+{ %% to delimit effect of \newcommand's:
+\newcommand{\question}{\item}
+\newcommand{\answer}{\par\vskip-2pt\noindent{\em Answer: }}
+
+In March, an update for \LaTeX\ 2.09 was released. The rationale
+behind this was to fix some well-known bugs, improve the usability for
+non-English languages (e.g., provide alternatives to English labels
+such as ``Chapter''). Additionally, some problems that appeared when
+the update was used in conjunction with the {\small NFSS} (New Font
+Selection Scheme) were removed.
+
+People were instructed to update {\em all\/} files. This was mostly to
+prevent them from inadvertantly using old styles with new {\tt
+latex.tex} and vice versa.
+
+We tried to maintain backward compatibility, but there are a few
+things that won't work (mostly when you use an old {\tt latex.tex}
+with the new styles).
+
+Every change made is mentioned in {\tt latex.bug}, and there are a lot
+of small comments in {\tt latex.tex} and the {\tt *.doc} files (mostly
+with \verb|%%| in front of them).
+
+The main incompatibility I am aware of is the change of the counter in
+the bibliography environment from {\tt enumi} to {\tt enumiv}. Since
+this is a real problem for style files derived from {\tt article}, for
+example, I made another change to use \verb|\@listctr|, which is
+always the correct one. The other problem with {\tt enumiv} was that
+I had forgotten to reset \verb|\theenumiv| --- with the result that
+documents with more than 26 references experienced problems.
+
+Here are some questions I have received since the release of the
+update, and my answers to them.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \question
+ Is this a beta test version, or is it a stable precusor to
+ \LaTeX\ 2.10?
+
+ \answer
+ It is a stable version, meant to last until the next version of
+ \LaTeX{} comes out (which will probably be \LaTeX3).
+
+ \question
+ As I understand it, the major difference between this version of
+ \LaTeX\ and the version that comes on the standard {\small UNIX}
+ \TeX\ 3.14 distribution from byron.cs.washington.edu ({\tt
+ latex.tex}, dated 7 Dec 89) is that this version includes the
+ {\small NFSS}. Are there other changes? Can you point me to new
+ documentation I can give to users, especially for the {\small
+ NFSS}?
+
+ \answer
+ The two major differences are:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \vskip-6pt
+ the internationalization (user-settable commands
+ instead of fixed English texts)
+ \item a better interface to the {\small NFSS}
+ \end{itemize}
+ The New Font Selection Scheme is not yet part of \LaTeX\ 2.09, but
+ we do regard it as a stable product. An improved version will be
+ part of \LaTeX3.
+
+ \question
+ Is there documentation which I can hand to users here?
+
+ \answer
+ Not much. Regarding internationalization, there is an article by
+ Joachim Schrod that appeared in {\sl TUGboat\/} some years ago. He
+ made the necessary changes and distributed them under the name of
+ I\LaTeX\ (International \LaTeX).
+
+ As for the better interface to {\small NFSS}, these are mostly
+ internals. There are a few comments in the file {\tt nfss.bug}
+ that comes with the {\small NFSS} package.
+
+ \question
+ Will I find user documentation for this when I pick up these
+ files?
+
+ \answer
+ Yes, there is the \LaTeX\ source for one of the articles that
+ appeared in {\sl TUGboat\/}.
+
+ \question
+ It sounds like I am going to have to recompile all of the \LaTeX\
+ fonts. Is there a script to do this for me (at 10, 11, and 12
+ pt sizes)? Do I have to recompile the standard CM fonts as well?
+
+ \answer
+ No, you don't have to recompile all fonts. There are some changes
+ to the \MF{} sources files:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Extra checks so that the line and circle fonts can no
+ longer be run through \MF{} with {\tt cmbase} preloaded
+ (which gives incorrect font metrics)
+ \item Corrections to the font identifiers. The invisible
+ \SliTeX\ fonts would previously identify themselves as
+ normal CM fonts.
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ These changes do not affect the shapes of the characters, nor the
+ font metrics in the {\tt .tfm} files. They do, however, affect the
+ font identification (an ASCII string) contained in the {\tt .tfm}
+ file.
+
+ \question I'm not sure what you mean by this response. What do I
+ have to do, assuming that I'm starting out with a new installation
+ of \TeX, with the fonts provided in the \TeX\ release and the new
+ \LaTeX? I need some explicit instructions.
+
+ \answer
+ If you don't have the {\tt .tfm} and {\tt .pk} files for the
+ \LaTeX\ fonts (the ones starting with {\tt l..}) you have to run
+ them through \MF{}. If you have them already, there's no need to
+ change.
+
+ My comment was that the changes to the \MF{} source files affect
+ only one extra piece of information that is contained in the
+ {\tt .tfm} files, but not used by \TeX.
+
+ \question
+ Are there explicit instructions for installation? The file {\tt
+ latex.ins} does not seem to be consistent with the instructions
+ that come with the {\tt WEB}-to-C stuff in the standard {\small
+ UNIX} \TeX\ distribution.
+
+ \answer
+ That is correct. We added a note saying so. Unfortunately, we
+ overlooked another reference to {\tt WEB}-to-C. I apologize.
+ Please follow the instructions in the {\tt WEB}-to-C
+ documentation.

+\subsection*{UK\TeX UG: 11 Feb.\ 1992
+ \hfill
+ London}
+
+The UK \TeX{} Users' Group held a meeting on ``Book and Journal
+Production'' on 11 February 1992 at the School of Oriental and African
+Studies, London.
+
+Papers were given by Barbara Beeton (AMS), Malcolm Clark (Polytechnic
+of Central London), Geeti Granger (John Wiley \& Sons Ltd), Rod Mulvey
+(the Printing House, Cambridge University Press), Peter Robinson and
+Stephen Miller (Oxford University) and Christina Thiele (Carleton
+University Press).
+
+This gave an interesting spread --- four of the papers were from those
+using \TeX{} professionally, with the remaining two from those ``doing
+it themselves''. In fact, Peter Robinson's Collate program (which he
+described) enables anyone to produce critical editions on a computer;
+used with Dominik Wujastyk's {\tt edmac} macros, these critical
+editions can be typeset expertly and easily. Malcolm Clark spoke
+about the trouble and delight of editing conference proceedings.
+Together with Christina Thiele, these three speakers broadly dealt
+with humanities, while the other three were in the more traditional
+\TeX{} area of scientific typesetting.
+
+Rod Mulvey described the various steps and procedures that he followed
+when typesetting from \TeX{} or \LaTeX{} source files and indicated
+the points at which there was editorial involvement. Geeti Granger
+and Barbara Beeton also mentioned how these things were done at their
+companies.
+
+While all the speakers were agreed that electronic submissions were
+not much use if they couldn't be read or if the disks contained the
+wrong text (and the need for the publisher to check these things),
+there was less agreement on how editorial corrections should be
+handled. There seemed to be a slight preference for traditional,
+paper-based proof correction; Rod Mulvey emphasized that matters like
+who makes corrections are best settled at the beginning and not left
+to chance.
+
+There was agreement that if the author was going to send \TeX{} or
+\LaTeX{} source she/he should use the appropriate styles from the
+start. In some cases submissions were accepted only if they conformed
+to a journal's style. The opposite from that also existed, where all
+the \TeX{} work was done by the publisher.
+
+Another point raised was the extent to which the electronically held
+text did, could or should constitute an archive. Only Geeti Granger
+made sure that all the corrections, including last minute ones, were
+incorporated into the \TeX{} source. It is relevant that her company
+(the UK-based branch of John Wiley \& Sons Ltd) is interested in
+providing on-demand printing --- one of those promised benefits of
+electronic publishing that hasn't quite materialized. On a somewhat
+similar matter, Barbara~Beeton mentioned the AMS's experiment with
+electronic distribution.

+\subsection*{Grupo de Usuarios de \TeX: 26 Feb.\ 1992
+ \hfill
+ Mexico City}
+
+The 6th Annual Meeting of the Mexican TUG was held in Mexico City on
+26 February 1992. The topic for the day was ``Sobre el manejo
+estandarizado de documentos'' [roughly: ``Standardised Treatment of
+Documents'']. About 50 people attended the sessions, which were held
+at the Instituto de Investigaciones en Matem\'aticas Aplicadas y en
+Sistemas {\small IIMAS}, Universidad Nacional Aut\'onoma de M\'exico
+({\small UNAM}).\footnote[1]{[A detailed report by K.\ Bernardo Wolf on
+\TeX\ activities in Mexico appeared in TTN 1(1):7--11.]}
+
+The first portion of the program was devoted to ``Handling Information
+and Documents'', moderated by Carlos Volarde, with presentations by
+Jaime Curts, Roberto Guerra, Fernando Magarinhos, Franciso
+Hern\'andez, and Arturo Ram\'\i rez. After a break, the second portion
+of the meeting began, moderated by Kurt Bernardo Wolf, devoted to
+``Document Structure and \TeX''. Participants included: Carlos
+Fern\'andez Gaos, Constancio Hern\'andez, Arturo S\'anchez y
+G\'andara, and the {\small TTN} correspondent.
+
+The meeting went from 9 a.m.\ till 2 p.m., and was followed by a
+two-hour lunch at a faculty club. A good time was had by all.

+\subsection*{NTG Spring Meeting: 4 June 1992
+ \hfill
+ Amsterdam}
+
+With the theme of ``Scientific Publishing and \TeX, the meeting was
+hosted by CWI in Amsterdam, attended by about 40 people. In the
+morning we had our annual business to do: secretary and treasurer
+reports, and elections. The new board includes: Gerard van Nes
+(re-elected Secretary), Johannes Braams (Treasurer), Theo Jurriens
+(newly elected as Activities Organizer), and Kees van der Laan as
+Chair.
+
+In the afternoon, it was time to listen to some fine presentations:
+Theo Jurriens (``From Observation to Publication''); Nico Poppelier
+(``On Standard Notation in Mathematics''); Ralph Youngen on \TeX-based
+production and services at the American Mathematical Society; Kees van
+der Laan (``Math into BLUes''; and David Salomon (``Index Generation
+with plain \TeX'').
+
+It is hoped that CWI was inspired by this meeting and that the Dutch
+Math Society will adopt \TeX{} in future. The day finished with a nice
+Chinese meal and informal discussions. The next meeting will be 19
+November in Meppel (near Groningen); the theme will be ``The Future of
+\TeX{} and \LaTeX''. So far, Yannis Haralambous and Frank Mittelbach
+have agreed to contribute to the meeting.

+ \hfill
+ Prague, Czechoslovakia}
+
+\begin{center}
+ \large\sl Still Time to Register!
+\end{center}
+
+Euro\TeX 92 is organized by the Czechoslovak \TeX{} Users Group, in
+collaboration with Charles University and Czech Technical University,
+Prague. It takes place in Prague from Sept.\ 14--18, 1992.
+
+Invited speakers include Yannis Haralambous, John Hobby, Alan Hoenig,
+Anita Hoover, Chris Rowley, Daniel Taupin, Phillip Taylor. They will
+cover topics including the usage of \TeX{} for ``non-standard''
+languages, typesetting music, \MF-like language for PostScript
+drawings, special effects with \MF\ and \TeX, the \LaTeX3 project,
+aspects on the use of \TeX{} and \LaTeX{} at university, {\tt WEB} and
+even more \dots
+
+Tutorials by Yannis Haralambous, Phillip Taylor and Klaus Thull
+following the conference will cover \MF\ and advanced topics in \TeX{}
+as well as an introduction to {\tt WEB}.
+
+\subsubsection{Why come to Euro\TeX 92?}
+
+The meeting is the first to offer extensive contacts with people from
+behind the iron curtain. It takes place in the Golden Heart of Europe
+--- Prague, one of the most fascinating capitals in Europe. You can
+visit it at a surprisingly low cost. Indeed, we would like to make
+Euro\TeX 92 in Prague accessible to the majority of \TeX{} fans from
+all over the world. It will be arranged at a modest level, yet
+covering all your needs. It is worth noting that low prices do not
+mean a compromise in quality; rather, they take advantage of the
+favourable exchange rates applicable to the hard-currency countries.
+
+\subsubsection{Other conditions}
+
+We have reserved rooms from Sunday, Sept.\ 13th to assist participants
+who may have difficulties with proper timing. This is meant especially
+to help them ({\small APEX} flights, flights not available every day,
+etc.). At least three tutorials will be organized for participants of
+Euro\TeX 92 {\em after\/} the conference (afternoon of Sept.\ 18, and
+Sept.\ 19). Accommodation is booked in a modern student hostel
+Kajetanka in double rooms. Two double rooms form a unit and share
+facilities.
+
+Lunches and refreshments will be served at the conference. Dinners
+are not included in order to enable you to research Czech restaurants
+and pubs on your own. An informal welcome party will be held on Monday
+evening, 7 p.m. An organ concert will take place probably on
+Wednesday, and some other pleasant surprises are included. The whole
+program from Monday to Friday forms a package (accommodation in double
+rooms, half pension from Tuesday to Friday, opening party on Monday
+evening, concert, conference fee, proceedings, tutorials for those who
+will stay a bit longer) for 330 DM (less than \$200). Those who would
+prefer a single room would pay 60 DM extra. For an {\em additional\/}
+35 DM (45 DM for a single room) a day, a limited number of
+participants may stay until Sunday (one or two days more) either for
+tutorials or just to enjoy meeting friends and having good beer in
+some of the pubs. For accompanying persons, a special program will be
+organized including visits to galleries, places of interest, etc. They
+will be asked to pay 285 DM and should not book single rooms.
+
+\subsubsection{Climate}
+
+Since much of Prague's fascination is historical, architectural and
+cultural, it can be enjoyed at any time. The average maximum
+temperature in September is 18C (64F) and the weather is relatively
+stable.
+
+\subsubsection{Currency}
+
+The Czechoslovak Crown is rated approx.\ 17:1 to DM, approx.\ 28:1 to
+the US\$. Recently, prices of goods have increased somewhat. They are
+slowly approaching western levels but in many respects Czechoslovakia
+is considered favourable and cheap for western tourists.
+
+\subsubsection{Transport}
+
+Czechoslovakia is easily reached by plane. The Prague airport is
+about 15 km from the city centre. Public transport is relatively
+cheap, but going by taxi, it is better to agree on the fare
+beforehand, since prices are not fixed and actually depend on drivers.
+Roads are relatively good. International trains connect Prague with
+Berlin, Munich, Nurnberg, Vienna, Warsaw, Budapest, etc.

+\subsection*{Summary of Board Meeting\footnote[1]{[This report
+ prepared by Ch.\ Thiele.]}}
+
+{\small \baselineskip=11pt
+The TUG Board of Directors met for 2 days at Aston University in
+Birmingham, England, February 15--16, 1992. Sixteen board members were
+in attendance, as was Ron Whitney, TUG's Technical Director/Business
+Manager; five board members were unable to attend.\footnote[2]{{\bf
+Present:} Peter Abbott, Barbara Beeton, Malcolm Clark (Chair), Luzia
+Dietsche, Ken Dreyhaupt, Michael Ferguson, Peter Flynn, Bernard
+Gaulle, Roswitha Graham, Yannis Hara\-lambous, Doug Henderson, Mimi
+Jett, David Kellerman, Joachim Lammarsch, Christina Thiele, Bill
+Woolf. {\bf Absent:} Alan Hoenig, Anita Hoover, Kees v.d.~Laan, Nico
+Poppelier, and Jon Radel.}
+
+Following welcoming remarks from Malcolm Clark, TUG's President, a
+revised agenda was circulated, items prioritised for Saturday and
+Sunday, and discussion time allocated to each item. As well, Malcolm
+suggested that some issues might best be treated by having a short
+introduction and discussion on Saturday, and then taken ``off-line''
+by various working groups, who would discuss the issues in more detail
+during Saturday evening and come back with their reports on Sunday.
+This allowed all agenda items to be addressed in the time available.
+
+After accepting the previous Minutes (Board meeting, July 1991, Dedham
+Mass.), the board acknowledged with gratitude the efforts of former
+board members who, following the elections of last Fall, were no
+longer present.
+
+As set down in TUG Bylaws, the board was required to select its
+officers, replacing the two interim officers appointed at the July
+1991 Board meeting (Allan Dyer, Acting Treasurer, and Christina
+Thiele, Acting Vice-President and Secretary). The new officers are:
+Ken Dreyhaupt (Vice-President), Bill Woolf (Treasurer) and Peter Flynn
+(Secretary). All were approved by consensus.
+
+A working group was formed to discuss the preliminary 1992 budget
+which Ron Whitney had drawn up; members included Ken Dreyhaupt, Mimi
+Jett, Joachim Lammarsch, Bill Woolf, along with Ron Whitney. They
+presented a revised budget which was further modified and then
+adopted. Other financial items discussed included reimbursement for
+attendees of the Aston board meeting, and salary levels for an
+Executive Director. With the addition of Peter Flynn, newly elected as
+TUG's Secretary, the members of this working committee were
+subsequently appointed to a Budget Committee.
+
+Ron Whitney, TUG's current Technical Director/Business Manager, had
+previously informed the board of his decision to leave TUG. The board
+passed a motion of appreciation ``for his support over the past year,
+in particular the successful management of last year's budget and in
+anticipation of his continued support this year, and during the search
+process.'' The Executive Committee, with the addition of Mimi Jett,
+was charged with the task of searching for a new Business
+Manager/Executive Director.
+
+Mimi Jett proposed a plan (``waterfall strategy'') which would serve
+as a useful approach to provide direction to the new person in the
+office (either Business Manager or Executive Director), given the
+limited resources available. The approach would also be explored by
+the Long Range Planning Committee. Mimi proposed that a draft document
+be prepared for the board, in conjunction with the office, which would
+clarify their goals and objectives, and would include an operational
+plan.
+
+The matter of defining the role of TUG Vice-Presidents (other than the
+elected one) was once again on the agenda. A committee headed by Luzia
+Dietsche, and including Peter Abbott, Ken Dreyhaupt, and Yannis
+Haralambous was established ``to find rules by which a representative
+of a local user group may be invited to join the TUG Board of
+Directors to be a full member of that board. The rules should be
+established by the board meeting in Portland.''
+
+A working group comprising Barbara Beeton, Roswitha Graham, and
+Joachim Lammarsch addressed issues relating to election procedures.
+Their proposals covered such items as election committee membership,
+minimum requirements of candidates for TUG president, ballots for
+institutional members, publishing of results, terms of office (length
+of terms, staggering of elections), and number of signatures for
+nomination. The working group was to develop recommendations for
+approval at the July board meeting.
+
+A working group to revise and upate the TUG Bylaws was also
+established (Barbara Beeton, Peter Flynn, and Christina Thiele). An
+additional task was to make the bylaws text more accessible and less
+jargon-like in nature. The working group members were subsequently
+named as the new members of the Bylaws Committee.
+
+The issue of how to begin manning the Technical Council was handed to
+a working group of Michael Ferguson, Bernard Gaulle, Yannis
+Haralambous, and David Kellerman. Their recommendations included a
+bylaws change to deal with the general makeup of the Technical Council
+(in Article V, section 2), and that Alan Hoenig, Michael Ferguson, and
+Yannis Haralambous represent the Board. Michael Ferguson was appointed
+Technical Council Chair. Both proposals were approved by the board.
+
+A working group to discuss the various issues related to TUG's
+publications was put together with Malcolm Clark, Luzia Dietsche, and
+Doug Henderson. A proposal which arose from these discussions, to take
+in paid advertising in the newsletter TTN, was accepted unanimously
+
+The problems associated with locating sites for TUG's annual meetings
+was assigned to a working group with Michael Ferguson, Bernard Gaulle
+and Christina Thiele. No firm solutions were proposed, and the working
+group, reconstituted as the Conference Planning Committee, was charged
+with providing the board with potential sites for the 1993 TUG Annual
+Meeting, and recommendations on conference planning in the future. The
+goal of having a 2-year lead-in to meetings was strongly endorsed.
+
+The board accepted the generous offer of the UK \TeX\ Users' Group and
+the Aston Archivists to run {\tt TeXhax} for the next three years for
+a one-time cost of \$5,000. A vote of thanks to Pierre MacKay was also
+recorded for the work done by the University of Washington in
+maintaining the electronic forum for \TeX\ users.
+
+It was agreed by consensus that two lists be established for e-mail
+correspondence by board members: one for documents, which would be
+considered open to all TUG members [as per the TUG Bylaw in Article
+III, Section 7 {\sl Access to Documents\/}], and one for private board
+discussions, not open to non-board members. All messages are to be
+numbered, to detect missing messages --- the document list to have
+numbers prefixed with a ``D''. This policy is not retroactive.
+
+Reports from various committees were presented, mostly for purposes of
+information rather than with any proposals for board action. These
+included: {\tt dvi} Standards Committee (Barbara Beeton reporting),
+Editorial Committee (Barbara Beeton), Long Range Planning Committee
+(LRPC) (David Kellerman), Membership Committee (Malcolm Clark),
+Program Committee (Mimi Jett), Publications Committee (Barbara
+Beeton), Scholarship Committee (Barbara Beeton), and T-shirt Committee
+(Doug Henderson). As well, Malcolm Clark provided a brief report on
+the status of the \LaTeX3 project.
+
+Other issues discussed included TUG's non-profit status, optimisation
+of board resources, proposals for 2-tier and student membership
+categories (tabled until the July 1992 Board meeting in Portland),
+membership drives, and potential TUG support for a museum on
+computerised typesetting.

+
+\Section{TUG 1992 Election}
+
+The term of the TUG President, Malcolm Clark, will expire at the end
+of this year, and Malcolm has stated his intention not to stand for
+re-election.
+
+The Bylaws provide that ``any member may be nominated for TUG
+president''. The name of any member may be placed in nomination for
+election to this office by submission of a petition, signed by two
+other members, to the TUG office at least 30 days prior to the
+election. In addition, any member may be nominated for this office
+during the annual business meeting, which will be held this year
+during the annual conference in Portland.
+
+In order to make the governing of TUG more effective, and to decrease
+the burden on new officers and board members of catching up on board
+business when they assume office, the elections committee has proposed
+that the election schedule be changed over the next couple of years.
+Under this proposal, new officers and board members would assume
+office at the annual meeting following their election rather than on
+January~1; the terms of the present office-holders will adhere to the
+old schedule, and the new schedule would be phased in with the next
+election. (The terms of all the elected board members currently run
+through the end of 1993.) If approved, this proposal will affect the
+length of the term of the president to be elected in this cycle. The
+proposal is on the agenda for the board meeting in Portland. Details
+will be published after board action; nominees will be informed at
+once, and the exact term will be shown on the ballot.
+
+Nomination forms, including full details of requirements and this
+year's election schedule, are being prepared. A form should be
+included with this issue of TTN, or may be obtained from the TUG
+office on request. Forms will also be distributed with {\sl
+TUGboat\/} 13, No.~2, and will be available at the Portland meeting.
