+Message-ID: <DCB.12211894578.BABYL@MIT-OZ>

+Subject: New yTeX release: version 2.0
+cc: dcb@OZ.AI.MIT.EDU
+
+I have just released version 2.0. There are only cosmetic
+differences between this version and the last version. These
+are:
+
+o The file YTEX.LOCAL is renamed to YLOCAL.TEX
+
+o The file YTEX.MATH is renamed to YMATH.TEX
+
+o The file YTEX.USAGE is renamed to YUSAGE.TEX
+
+o All the yTeX source files have moved from TEXLOCAL:
+ to KS:<TEX.YTEX>.
+
+The new version is due to a slight restructuring of the source
+files. In particular, there have been the following name
+changes:
+
+YTEX.MACROS --> YTEX.MAC
+YTEX.BASE --> YBASE.MAC
+YTEX.FONTS --> YFONTS.MAC
+YTEX.USER --> YUSER.MAC
+YTEX.LOG --> YLOG.MAC
+YTEX.FIXES --> YFIX.MAC
+
+In addition, there is a new file YSITE.MAC which contains
+settings and definitions appropriate to the yTeX installation at
+a particular site.
+
+These changes were made to make yTeX easier to transport to
+installations where, for example, file names can only have six
+characters in the name and three characters in the extension. In
+addition, the sources no longer refer to logical names such as
+TEXINPUTS:; instead, they use a prepended string \ytexlibrary
+which is defined in the YSITE file. (On OZ the definition in the
+YSITE file for \ytexlibrary is TEXINPUTS: so the behavior of yTeX
+on OZ should not change.)
+
+Note that the YUSAGE documentation file has not been updated to
+relect these name changes. If anyone feels like doing this, they
+should feel free.
+
+If you maintain yTeX at another site, you should import the new
+version immediately.
+
+This will be the last change I make in yTeX for quite a while.

+cc: dcb@OZ.AI.MIT.EDU
+
+OK, OK, I updated the documentation file to show the new file
+names. If I really get motivated, I will even add stuff to the
+documentation about all the wonderful new features that went in
+months ago, like \twocolumntext and \doublecolumn and \maybeinput
+and cross references and bibliographies and \yesornop. Better
+yet, maybe someone else will get inspired and do it for me!
