+Subject: Determining the height of math objects
+
+How can I determine the dimensions of objects in math mode? I want to
+find, in particular, the height of any specified part of an equation. For
+example in the latex example file below which of the values relates to the
+height of the stated formula and how can I read this value
+it to set the height of another object?
+
+Thanks

+Subject: conversion of BIDS ISI output to BibTeX
+
+Does anyone know if there is a Unix utility available anywhere to
+convert the downloading format from the BIDS (Bath Information and
+Data Services) Science Citation Index into .bib format ?
+
+Like many people, I keep my personal bibliographic database in .bib
+format, and such a utility would therefore be most useful.
+
+It would need to make some semi-intelligent guesses for changing from
+the ISI's monocase to mixed case, but apart from that it would be
+quite straightforward.

+Subject: dvips
+
+I would like to upgrade my version of Tex to include Postscript
+graphics using dvips.
+I have obtained a list of files from the Texserver relating to dvips using
+`whereis dvips' but I am uncertain which files I require to
+transfer.
+Under msdos I presume that the following two files would be
+needed
+DISK$TEX:[TEX-ARCHIVE.SYSTEMS.MSDOS]DVIPS.EXE_VVE;2
+DISK$TEX:[TEX-ARCHIVE.SYSTEMS.MSDOS.EMTEX.BONUS]DVIPS.ZIP_VVE;2
+I would appreciate some advice.

+Subject: LaTeX makefile
+
+There were several enquiries about my LaTeX makefile, so a copy has now
+been placed in the archives, along with a man page, in directory
+/pub/archive/support/make_latex
+
+Functionality of make_latex overlaps with an existing package,
+latexMk. Both perform essentially the same task (i.e. issuing all the
+commands required to `compile' a latex document), however, each has a
+some features which the other lacks. (Maybe someone would like to
+integrate the two packages!)

+Subject: Elsevier Science announces availability of ESP-LaTeX
+
+Elsevier Science has the pleasure to announce the availability of their
+ESP-LaTeX package from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), an
+initiative of the TeX Users Group.
+
+In order to assist authors in preparing their papers for articles published
+by Elsevier Science Publishers in such a way that their files can be used to
+print the article, we have developed a LaTeX package ESP-LaTeX, consisting of
+a document style `espart' and a booklet with instructions to authors.
+
+Authors are kindly requested to use the `espart' document style. This
+document style, which produces a preprint-like output, enables the Publisher
+to adapt the article to the layout and style of the journal in which the
+article will appear (the Publisher will replaced `espart' by a
+journal-specific production document style).
+
+The ESP-LaTeX package contains the following files. Please make sure that
+you retrieve all these files.
+
+readme.esp Brief instructions.
+
+espart.sty The main document style. Copy this to the directory
+ where all other .sty files are.
+
+espart12.sty The pointsize-related definitions. Copy this to the
+ directory where all other .sty files are.
+
+The ESP-LaTeX package can be obtained using anonymous FTP from the
+Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN):

+Questions concerning the LaTeX author-prepared article project and requests
+for the booklet with instructions to authors should be directed to the
+address on the inside cover of one of the journals participating in the
+project.
