+see the attached file which I call "a4l.sty" which does a convenient job.
+The only thing you have to do is to scale any imported postscript figures
+slightly differently (by 5/6 as pspicture does). Used with 10pt it
+typesets nearly the same as 12pt A4, just that you get two fat columns.

+Subject: tgrind
+
+Is tgrind still the best way to print source code?
+I am interested, in particular in C++, Ada and C,
+in that order.
+
+I am particularly interested because I cannot create
+a procedure decl rule for tgrind which will reliably
+find all procedure decls, and ONLY procedure decls.
+My current problem is that, in C++,
+
+foo ()
+ : bar {
+
+is seen as two nested procedures, not one.
+
+If tgrind is still the best thing around, then I will
+extend its rule language to handle this construct correctly.
+However, I don't want to do this if there is something
+better out there.
+
+Comments?

+Subject: File handle problems with betatest emTeX and Novell Netware
+
+
+Has anyone else experienced file handle problems running the latest betatest
+of emTeX on a Novell network? The problems we are experiencing are
+
+- -- TeX cannot open a TeX file in the current directory, even though it
+ could on the last run.
+
+- -- cannot write to xxx.log
+
+- -- cannot write to xxx.dvi
+
+- -- cannot open/write to xxx.aux
+
+Usually the first such error causes TeX to enter its infinite loop, and a
+reboot is essential, as any other filename gives the same result.
+
+Note also that the problem occurs even when working on c: with megabytes
+to spare, and neither temp nor tmp pointing at the network drives.
+
+When the problem occurs in a DOS shell from MS Windows, an attempt at exiting
+from windows causes a shutdown, as DOS says it has run out of file handles.
+We start with files=48 (+16) on our network.
+
+Any help would be much appreciated!

+ goodies. A subscription service will be available for
+ subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to
+ 3 disks a year with any material from the CTAN archives, but
