Beginning in January 1990, -\text1\ went into the \TeX\ public domain collection of macros. - -In 1983, a decision was made at Washington State University -to put time into creating a set of macros to be used with \TeX. -This macro set was to provide many of the functions found in \LaTeX: -multiple columns, table of contents, indexing\footnote{$^*$}{The -three different index styles illustrated in Appendix A in -\TUB~{\bf1}(1) can all be achieved with \text1's index.}, chapters, lists, -boxes, margin notes, etc. Yet there were to be two important differences: -\list[\numbered] -\item The {\tt PLAIN.TEX} commands would be able to be used in -\text1. -\item Modifying the \text1\ formats would be considerably easier than -modifying \LaTeX\ styles. -\endlist - -The resulting set of macros met the above criteria. One important -exception was that no attempt was made to give \text1\ a picture -environment such as was in \LaTeX. The documentation you may -purchase for \text1\ -consists of a 300 page Reference Manual and a 100 page Users Guide. - -\head * Changing the Formats * - -As an example of how easy it is to modify the \text1\ formats, if the -user wants to increase the bottom margin from 6 to 7 picas, they -can simply specify: -||\pageformat{\bottommargin{7pc}}|| -Or if you wanted your running head to contain the chapter title -left-justified and the page number right-justified on odd pages, and -the chapter title right-justified and the page number left-justified -on even pages, you could say: -\verbatim -\runningheadformat{ - \oddpages{\line{\lft{\chaptertitle} - \rt{\pagenumber}}} - \evenpages{\line{\lft{\pagenumber} - \rt{\chaptertitle}}} - } -\endverbatim - -For one last example, it is often desirable to change the text embedded -within macros. For example, by default if you say: -||\chapter{Introduction}|| -you would get ``Chapter 1'' at the top of the next page in bold, with -``Introduction'' centered below that. If you were using \text1\ in -Germany, you would probably prefer ``Kapitel'' instead of -``Chapter'', so you could change the chapter's format to say: -\verbatim -\chapterformat{ - \titleformat{\newpage - \centerline{% - \bf Kapitel \chapternumber} - \centerline{\bf\chaptertitle} - \vs{1\bl} - } - \incontents{yes}} -\endverbatim -Then in your text you would specify the introduction (first -chapter) as: -||\chapter{Einleitung}|| - -\head * Additional Products * - -Other products that came out of this pro\-ject and are now going into -the public domain are a typesetter driver for the Compugraphics 8600 -and additional fonts. - -\subhead * Typesetter Driver * - -The Compugraphics driver is written in \WEB. It has the ability to -add line numbering to the DVI output as it is printed on the 8600. -The program does include some Pascal statements unique to IBM's -Pascal/VS, so a change file would be necessary for any operating -system other than IBM's VM/CMS. - -\subhead * Additional Fonts * - -Extra fonts were created from the base Computer Modern. These were -Computer Modern at 11, 12, 14, 18, 24 and 36 point sizes. I do not -know yet if I can call these Computer Modern, but I have asked -Professor Knuth for permission to do so. - -In addition to the larger Computer Modern fonts, we also created an -International Phonetic Alphabet in 9, 10, 11 and 12 point sizes. The -IPA font is illustrated at the end of this article. - -\head * How to get {\bi\text1} * - -You can get any of the above \text1\ products on diskette or by -anonymous FTP. Also, I will be distributing \text1\ to the various -site coordinators who can determine whether to place it on their -distribution. - -To obtain \text1\ on diskette from Jon Radel, send a note to -\address[\display] -Jon Radel \\ -P.O. Box 2276 \\ -Reston, VA \\ -22090-0276 -\endaddress -and ask for \text1 (4 disks). To cover postage and other expenses, -if you are in North America, please enclose \$1.50/disk if you send -blank disks or \$5.00/disk if you don't; if you are anywhere else in -the world, enclose \$2.00/disk if you send blank disks or \$6.00/disk -if you don't. $\mu$\TeX\ and \PCTeX\ use different directories, so -specify which of these two you are using. If you are using neither of -these, then just specify \PCTeX. You should also specify whether you -want |pk| (3 disks) or |gf| (5 disks) font files for the additional fonts -(these do not include the IPA fonts). - -You may also request \text1\ for a Macintosh from Jon (1 disk). -It is set up to run with \TeXtures. - -To order the IPA fonts from Jon, request the WSU IPA font. This -consists of two diskettes: 1)~the IPA source files and Users Guide, -and 2)~|pk| or |gf| files. - -To get \text1\ by anonymous FTP, you can connect to -ftp.wsu.edu. -Log on as -|anonymous|, and change to the -|/pub/tex/text1| directory. You will see ten subdirectories which you can GET -files from: -\list[\numbered] -\item |BLOCKS|: this directory contains all of the default formats (or -building ``blocks'' such as the |chapterformat|, |runningheadformat|, etc.) - -\item |CMS_HELP_FILES|: these are some of the help files used on the -CMS system at WSU. Some sites have taken these files and used them in creating -help files on a PC or on a \VAX. - -\item |COMPUGRAPHICS_8600|: this is the Compugraphics 8600 phototypesetter -driver program, and its various utilities. Not very much documentation here, -so venture further on your own. - -\item |FONTS|: This is the source for the additional Computer Modern -fonts generated, such as 11, 14, 18, 24 and 36pt sizes. - -\item |MACINTOSH|: this contains the index sorting facility used with -\text1. It is written for Turbo Pascal. (The executable binary can -be obtained from Jon Radel if you do not have Turbo Pascal yourself.) - -\item |MACROS|: this contains the \text1 macros. The file |TEXT1.TEX| is used -with Ini\TeX{} to create a new |fmt|. - -\item |MODELS|: contains various simple models such as letter, resume, -etc. It also contains a model (|MERGETXT|) which can be used as a -model for merge letters. For example, you could tell Dbase III to -create an address list, merge it with a standard letter, and using -the model print a -copy for each person. - -\item |TEXIX|: the sorted index program used with \text1. Presently -the only systems this is running on is CMS and Macintosh. |TEXIX| for -\VAX{} and PC systems is in the works. - -\item |VAX_VMS|: when ready, this will have the sorted index for VMS -users. - -\item |WSUIPA|: This contains the source for the International -Phonetic Alphabet, as well as the |tfm| and |300pk| files. - -\endlist - -\head * {\bi\text1} Documentation * - -The documentation for \text1\ is not free. Pre\-sent\-ly, the -documentation must be ordered through: -\address[\display] -\text1\ Distribution\\ -Computing Service Center \\ -Washington State University \\ -Pullman, WA. 99164-1220 -\endaddress -The cost is \$35 for the Reference Manual and \$25 for the Users -Guide. (Add \$5 postage if outside of the U.S.) The manuals are not -yet available through the \TeX\ Users Group, but I hope to have them -there as soon as I find a publisher. - -If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email note on Bitnet -at {\tt GUENTHER@WSUVM1} or to {\tt GUENTHER@WSUVM1.WSU.EDU} on -Internet. - -\makesignature - -\endgroup -\endarticle |
