+Subject: test for duplex postscript printer output <--- latex
+
+A duplex Postscript printer is not producing in my opinion proper twosided
+LaTeX output (out both horizontally and vertically by noticeable amounts)
+- --- our computer services people are reluctant to investigate
+and/or change the settings --- Is there a standard by which one can test
+whether a Postscript printer is properly set up?
+
+- --- we're using DVIPS (vax/vms) to process the DVI files
+- --- perfectly superposable output results on a simplex Postscript printer
+ under our control (dos/PcTex/emtex)
+

+Subject: Incorporating PS files ???
+
+I'm using latex on a Unix (Sparc) box and I need to include postscript
+files. Currently I'm using \epsfbox{file.ps} to include them and that
+works ok. But I like to use captions. This isn't possible, as far as I
+know, with epsf. I tried:
+
+\begin{figure}
+\epsfbox{file.ps}
+\caption{Caption}
+\end{figure}
+
+but in this case, the boundingbox wasn't changed, which means that the
+figure was put at the place specified in the postscript file, instead
+of being changed by the epsf package. I hope this makes sense to
+somebody. Is there a way of including captions around postscript files
+within latex???
+
+Thanks,
+Paul

+Subject: 600 dpi fonts
+
+I would like to create some 600dpi fonts, so I can get a better quality when
+I use postscript with my HP 4M printer.
+If anyone can tell me how to do this (with MF?), I would be most greatful.
+TIA.

+
+Dear Colleague ---
+
+Are you thinking of coming to EuroTeX '94? If so, would you like to present
+a paper? The themes of this year's EuroTeX conference are
+
+ Principles;
+ Practice;
+ Progress;
+ POLAND!
+
+and papers are now urgently being sought. We are hoping to follow the
+example set at Prague in 1992 and Aston in 1993, by making the proceedings
+available actually at the conference, and in order for this to be feasible,
+it is necessary to establish some fairly strict guidelines for submission.
+
+Abstracts are wanted _now_, and must be submitted no later than Friday
+10th June; the committee will acknowledge receipt of all abstracts, and
+will let authors know whether or not the paper is accepted by no later
+than Friday 24th June. One clear month will then be allowed for preparation
+of the full-text papers, which must therefore be submitted no later than
+Friday 22nd July, and these papers will then be passed on to referees who
+are knowledgeable in the chosen subject area: the referee and author then
+have one further month in which to agree and produce a `best possible' version
+of the paper. The final version of the paper must be submitted by Friday
+20th August.
+
+Papers may be prepared in either Plain TeX or LaTeX, and a copy of `EuroTeX.Sty
+'
+will be sent to all who submit abstracts; this will be a direct derivative of
+TUGproc.Sty, and authors wishing to make an early start on marking-up their tex
+t
+may safely base their work on the current release of TUGproc. In order to
+ensure a uniform appearance in the Proceedings, authors are urged _not_ to make
+changes to the default fonts, leading, etc.
+
+If you would like to present a paper, please complete the e-form below,
+and return it to the Programme Committee, EuroTeX '94:
+
+C/o Jola Szelatynska, University of Torun, Poland
+ E-mail: Jola Szelatynska <EuroTeX-Papers@Cc.Uni.Torun.Pl>
+
+Yes, I hope to attend EuroTeX '94 and would like to propose the following
+paper(s); please add my name and address to your mailing list and keep me
+posted of developments.
