+\Section{Editorial}
+
+We're back again, with another issue of news and helpful hints from
+our regular columnists. 
+
+Peter Flynn's back (pp.\ 3--5) with more tidbits on typesetting ---
+and yet another nifty little {\tt .sty} file you'll probably want to
+acquire. New Publications by Peter Schmitt continues to include
+articles about \TeX\ --- if you know of any, please get in touch with
+him (pp.\ 6--7).  Jeremy's column has some pretty neat stuff too ---
+see pages 8--12.  However, this will the last column for Robert Becker
+(pp.\ 17--19), who's moving on to other interests. I'd like to thank
+him for the columns he's given us, and for his hints in the current
+one.
+
+In \ttn\ 2,2:20, I reported on {\sl La Lettre GUTenberg\/}, and that
+it was going to use a different font in each issue. They're now on
+issue no.~3, and so far, they've kept to their word: {\sl Rotis\/} was
+used in no.~0, {\sl Stone} in no.~1, and now {\sl Lucida-Bright\/} in
+no.~3. From now on, we'll make a note of the font in our New
+Publications column --- you might consider becoming a member of
+\GUTenberg, if only for the font samples! And perhaps we could
+inveigle someone to bring sample copies to post at the annual meeting
+this summer. It's quite a nice treat to see these issues.
+
+Contests? Were you mildly intrigued by the last one? We have winners!
+But we have an even better contest lined up for you now! Go to page 28
+and find out more. And for those who've been reading {\sl La Lettre
+GUTenberg\/}, they've had a few interesting ideas as well!
+
+But we mustn't forget the first contest we ran: the ``A-in-\LaTeX''
+contest results are in! And the winners are:
+
+\begin{center}
+   \begin{tabular}{ll}
+         Basic solution: & Peter Schmitt \\
+         Elegant and sophisticated solution:
+                         & Jonathan Fine and Jean-luc Doumont \\
+         Guru solution:  & nobody \dots \\
+   \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+%
+Their full-blown, glorious solutions will be appearing in the next
+\TUB\ issue (sorry, we don't have the space here). Congratulations to the
+winners, and to all those who sat down and argued with \TeX\ and
+\LaTeX\ for a while.
+
+\subsubsection{Membership numbers are coming!} 
+%
+Starting with the 1994 members, we will finally be assigning
+membership numbers. This was to have been sent out with the \tug'94
+registration material, but there's been a bit of a delay. You will be
+receiving your membership number (which will always be yours, as long
+as you're a \tug\ member) via e-mail or regular mail during the next
+two months or so.  And eventually this number will appear on all
+mailing labels. We just need a little more time to get all the bugs
+worked out. By July, we should all be tagged, though {\tt ;-)}.
+
+More from the office front: some of you may have noticed what seem
+like long delays in e-mail traffic, or even complete silence to your
+queries. It's because of the {\tt uucp} connection which we currently
+have --- recently, it's been really unstable. Please --- if you are
+corresponding with the office, it might be more effective (and less
+frustrating) if you use \fax\ or regular mail for the next while. We
+expect to change the network connections and upgrade to a proper link,
+but in the interim \dots\
+
+
+\subsubsection{Getting these newsletters out.}
+%
+{\it Mea culpa\/}! The last issue's Table of Contents page bears the
+date 199{\bf 1}! It should of course have read 199{\bf 4}.
+
+Have you ever been working in {\tt report.sty}, and found that
+cross-referenced labels start with zero: e.g., Fig.~0.1? Maddening
+when you're really too busy to try and figure this one out. I found it
+maddening \dots\ it was in Peter Flynn's column. Solution? Insert
+\verb|\setcounter{chapter}{1}| to force the ``0'' to kick up to ``1'':
+we're usually so busy writing up our sections and subsections and
+subsubsections that we forget that above ``section'' in the \LaTeX\
+hierarchy comes ``chapter'' (and above that, there's
+``part'').
+
+Another command I've found occasionally useful is
+\verb|\centering{...}|\ts, rather than the more usual \verb|\begin ...
+\end{center}|\ts. 
+
+And finally, some new elements we're considering: (a) occasional
+updates on \ctan; (b) carrying want ads (``Looking for signed copy of
+the \TB'' or ``Selling all my \TUB''); and (c) news from vendors.
+
+The \ctan\ updates would include such information as the following: 
+
+{\small \baselineskip=10.5pt
+\begin{quote}
+   After you ftp over to a \ctan\ node, you probably sit there and try
+   to think ``now where would they store {\tt xxxxx.sty}?''.  Instead
+   of digging through the whole archive, try this: {\tt quote site
+   index} $< filename >$.  {\small AND USE LOWERCASE}!!  It's
+   case-sensitive and there was a bit of confusion in some early
+   documentation. But give it a try. And feel less intimidated next
+   time you step up to the ftp plate. Note: if you turn off messaging
+   by using a hyphen as the first character of your password, this
+   won't work. 
+\end{quote}
+\par}
+
+For want ads, we need to first see if there's a wide-spread demand for
+this. Send your comments and suggestions to {\tt
+cthiele@ccs.carleton.ca}. 
+
+And with this issue, I've started a subsection in the \AllTeX\ column
+called ``News from vendors'', since I keep getting their flyers! I
+don't pretend that this is all the news that's out there --- consider
+it a sampling. Send your comments and reactions to me as well. 
+
+Well, I've had my say here for this issue --- hope you enjoy reading
+the rest of it! And plan on coming to Santa Barbara --- it's going to
+be a terrific 15th anniversary meeting: see pp.\ 22--23 for the
+prelimary program.

+\subsection*{Shady practice}
+
+A call for help on the {\tt comp.text.tex} Usenet newsgroup a while
+back asked how to create a shaded box superimposed on a word like
+\shade{this}. I cooked up a macro to do it, and posted it on the
+newsgroup, but since then I've been experimenting with more general
+applications and come up with some twiddles which could be useful in
+technical~documentation.
+
+I'm not going to show them here: if they're ready in time they might
+be in a paper to the annual conference at the \TeX\ Users Group
+Meeting (this year it's in Santa Barbara, California,
+July~31--August~4). Book early for a seat: if you use, support or sell
+\TeX, this is the one show you can't afford to~miss.
+
+
+\subsection*{Ditto marks}
+
+Chet Creider of the University of Western Ontario has noticed that
+grammars published in England have a distinctive `ditto' mark
+consisting of a right double quote at the same level as a comma
+(Wright \& Wright's {\em An Elementary Old English Grammar} [OUP]) but
+American ones did not (Smyth, {\em Greek Grammar} [Harvard]). He asks
+if this has been implemented in~\TeX/\LaTeX.
+
+I know some non-English-language implementations of \TeX\ used to
+define open-quotes ,,like this``, and the DC fonts do it with extra
+sorts, but I have also seen ditto marks using commas cast at the
+x-height, and I have used these in Fig.~\ref{widths}. What do other
+people use?  That is if they use anything\ts---\ts with
+computer-generated tables, ditto marks are not used to avoid having to
+reset the same word or number over and over again, but I feel they
+have a valid place as they indicate explicitly what the eye may miss
+in scanning large amounts of figures: exactly where a repeated value
+ceases to~repeat.
+
+
+\subsection*{Mailbox}
+
+\setcounter{chapter}{1}
+
+In January, our editor Christina posted the table in Fig.~\ref{widths}
+to the {\tt TYPO-L} mailing list. It shows the result of setting five
+pages of text in different fonts. The differences are due to the `set'
+of each font, which is a measure of the horizontal space that an
+alphabet will occupy (and which foundries used to quote as part of the
+specifications of a font).  My gripe a while back was that Palatino
+(for example) was implemented with too narrow a set in the
+Adobe~version.

+\end{figure} 
+
+Frans Goddijn from the Netherlands pointed out that Huib van Krimpen,
+the Dutch typographer, in a lecture for the \ntg\ (Dutch \TeX\ users
+group), went into detail on the very exact calculations a typographer
+has to make before deciding how to change fonts or layout, and
+remarked dryly that `using a {\small DTP} computer for typesetting is
+not the same as doing typography. But from the prints you see, it is
+obvious that many [people] {\em think} they are\dots'~\ I hope he
+wasn't referring to~\TeX.
+
+
+\subsection*{Books}
+
+Christina also recommends Alex White's {\em How to Spec Type}
+[Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1987], and Tony Galt from
+Wisconsin says that those interested in Zapf and Palatino (and his
+other faces) might enjoy {\em Twentieth Century Type Designers} by
+Sebastian Carter [Taplinger,~1987].
+
+
+\subsection*{Interletter spacing} 
+
+I didn't think I'd opened such a can of worms when I mentioned this
+topic. I've had both praise and brickbats, and a reminder of Frederick
+Goudy's statement that ``anyone who would letterspace [lower case]
+would steal~sheep''.
+
+I've even been taken to task by a colleague on my own campus who
+regrets abandoning her antique wordprocessor (on a {\small DEC}
+Rainbow, no less) for a more supportable product because the new
+program refuses to letterspace, and she feels adjusting the
+interletter spacing on loose or tight lines is an elegant addition to
+justified text. We've agreed to disagree on this~one.
+
+On a more technical note, I've had an interesting set of results from
+Wally Martin in Toledo, Ohio, who has made some experiments in
+adjusting the character widths in the {\tt .tfm} files for BitStream
+fonts and for a TrueType version of Bodoni (see
+Fig.~\ref{bodoni})\footnote[1]{For the purposes of portability, this
+does not use Bodoni, but the original PostScript file can be retrieved
+by anonymous {\tt ftp} from {\tt curia.ucc.ie} as {\tt
+pub/tex/bodoni.eps}} using Personal \TeX's \hbox{PC-\TeX}
+under~MS-Windows.
+
+The experiments used some of the BitStream utilities provided with
+\hbox{PC-\TeX}, their TrueType-to-{\tt tfm} for MS-Windows, and the
+normal {\tt tftopl} and {\tt pltotf} programs. He notes that a
+powerful text editor is needed (with the ability to do mathematics
+with digits coming from within the text) to perform the repetitive
+recalculation of the {\tt CHARWD}~entries.
+
+Joachim Schrod warned (in an article in {\em Offizin\/} [\dante,
+Bonn,~94\ts:\ts 1]\ts) about the dangers of this kind of
+manipulation. While it may have its place, I feel that hand-bodging
+{\tt .tfm} files still has its dangers, particularly when {\tt .dvi}
+and \PS\ rely on the font metrics matching the bounding boxes inherent
+in the outlines or bitmaps so that adjacent unkerned characters can be
+represented without positional information.
+
+It is clearly possible to do interletter space adjustments using 
+\TeX. Whether or not it is a `good' thing to do is probably more 
+a matter of \ae sthetics than dogma. Whether or not it will work with
+a specific driver or device is a moot point. Me, I don't steal~sheep.

+\subsection*{Apology}
+
+In my last column, I praised the \verb|\path| macro found in Karl
+Berry's {\tt eplain} format. If I had read the documentation properly
+I would have credited it correctly: \verb|\path| was written by Nelson
+Beebe for {\tt path.sty} and reimplemented at Nelson's request by
+Philip Taylor in 1991. The latest version of {\tt path.sty} is
+available on {\tt ftp.math.utah.edu} in {\tt /pub/tex/bib} (via
+e-mail, send ``{\tt send path.sty from tex/bib}'' to {\tt

+%
+% The syntax is:
+%
+%   \overunderbraces{upper_braces}{main_formula}{lower_braces}
+%
+% Suppose we want the equation:
+%                x               y
+%          ,-----^-----.   ,-----^-----.

+%                  `-----v-----'
+%                        z
+% There are seven segments:
+%                x               y
+%          ,-----^-----.   ,-----^-----.
+%  a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h + i + j + k + l + m = \pi r^2
+%  11111111222222223333344455555666666667777777777...
+%                  `-----v-----'
+%                        z
+% Insert & between each segment (where the tips of the braces point)
+% to type the main_formula:
+%                x               y
+%          ,-----^-----.   ,-----^-----.

+%                  `-----v-----'
+%                        z
+% Each brace should be specified by typing
+%
+%    \br{number_of_segments}{label},
+%
+% separated by  &  to indicate which segment to start at; and
+% where  & &  skips a segment that has no brace.  For our
+% example formula, the upper and lower brace specifiers are:
+%
+% top row:  &\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}
+% bot row:  & &\br{3}{z}
+%
+% Now put them all together:

+% ====  begin real article ====
+
+Sometimes one would like to interleave braces labelling parts of an
+equation:
+%
+$$
+ \overunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
+    {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
+    {& &\br{3}{z}}
+  = \pi r^2
+$$
+%
+This is something that \verb"\overbrace" and \verb"\underbrace" cannot
+do. The solution I have chosen (for both plain \TeX\ and
+\LaTeX) is based on visual formatting into columns, like an
+array or table.
+
+First (on paper or imagination), write the formula and divide it into
+segments at the tip of each brace.  In our example there are seven
+segments:
+%
+$$
+ \Xoverunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
+    {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
+    {& &\br{3}{z}}%
+    {1&2&3&4&5&6&7}
+  = \pi r^2
+$$
+%
+although segments 1 and 7 could be omitted.  We will type the main
+line of the formula with \verb"&" inserted between each segment:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+     a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+Each segment then becomes a column in an alignment, and each brace may
+span multiple columns.  The idea is best illustrated by a \LaTeX{}
+array:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\begin{array}[c]{ccccccc}
+  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{x}& & \multicolumn{2}{c}{y}\\
+  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\downbracefill}
+                         & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\downbracefill}\\
+  a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m\\
+  & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{\upbracefill}\\
+  & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{z}
+\end{array} = \pi r^2
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+This doesn't work well, having bad braces with bad vertical and
+horizontal spacing.  We should instead use \TeX's primitive
+\verb"\halign" command, and measure the size of boxes to get the
+correct vertical positioning of the formula's main line. Rather than
+type the very messy \TeX\ commands directly with each use, it is
+better to make a new command:
+%
+$$
+\hbox to\hsize{\indent\verb"\overunderbraces{"{\sl
+  upper\_braces\/}\verb"}{"{\sl main\_formula\/}\verb"}{"{\sl
+  lower\_braces\/}\verb"}"\hfil}
+$$
+%
+We already know how to write the main line of the formula (by
+segmenting the formula and inserting \verb"&" between segments), and
+we will also use \verb"&" between braces.  Each labelled brace will be
+specified in the format:
+%
+$$
+\hbox to\hsize{\indent\verb"\br{"$n$\verb"}{"\mbox{\sl
+   label\/}\verb"}"\hfil}
+$$
+%
+where $n$ is the number of segments spanned by the brace.  Each top
+brace of our example spans two segments (with an empty segment between
+them) and the bottom brace spans three segments, so they are specified
+by:
+
+\medskip
+\indent \hbox to8em{top braces:\hfil}\verb" &\br{2}{x}&  &\br{2}{y}"\\
+\indent \hbox to8em{bottom braces:\hfil}\verb" & &\br{3}{z}"
+
+\medskip
+
+Having determined all three parameters to use with
+\verb"\over"\-\verb"under"\-\verb"braces",  the complete command is
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \overunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
+    {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
+    {& &\br{3}{z}}
+  = \pi r^2
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+which produces the equation at the start of this article.
+
+Here is the definition of \verb"\overunderbraces".  It may look
+long, but it has some repetition in order to measure the height of
+the top half of the formula. There are also the auxiliary macros
+\verb"\brAup", \verb"\brAdown", and \verb"\brAlabel" that allow
+the same \verb"\br" command to produce up-braces, down-braces, and
+centered labels at the appropriate places.
+

+
+My particular branch of computer science often requires me to
+construct new mathematical symbols. Sometimes I do this with \MF{},
+but if I want to be able to distribute my \TeX{} or \verb"dvi" files,
+I need to construct the new symbols out of existing ones. One
+technique for doing this is simply to `overlay' two existing symbols;
+for this purpose, I wrote the style file \verb"overlay.sty".
+
+The basic usage is to overlay two symbols, centre-aligning them with respect to
+each other and producing a symbol as wide as the wider component. Thus,
+\verb"$\overlay{\triangleleft}{-\!\!-}$" yields
+`$\overlay{\triangleleft}{-\!\!-}$'. Two variations on this theme
+involve left- and right-alignment instead of centre-alignment; using
+\verb"\loverlay" or \verb"\roverlay" (great names!)  yields
+`$\loverlay{\triangleleft}{-\!\!-}$' or
+`$\roverlay{\triangleleft}{-\!\!-}$', respectively.
+
+The macro copes with changing `styles', so that symbols get smaller in
+subscripts and so on. Thus,
+\verb"$X_{\overlay{\triangleleft}{-\!\!-}}$" yields
+`$X_{\overlay{\triangleleft}{-\!\!-}}$'. Within the arguments to
+\verb"\overlay",  the macro \verb"\overlaystyle" expands out to the
+style, so the overlaid components can involve boxes and still respect
+changing styles; for example, the (rather contrived) definition
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\def\symbol{\overlay{-}{\raise.4ex\hbox{$\overlaystyle\bullet$}}}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+\def\symbol{\overlay{-}{\raise.4ex\hbox{$\overlaystyle\bullet$}}}
+yields `$\symbol$' in text style and `$X_{\symbol}$' in script
+style---note the different \verb"\bullet"s.\footnote[1]{Actually, this
+   definition is not quite right: an \verb"ex" doesn't get smaller in
+   script styles. The best   fix I know of involves defining a macro
+   to replace the \verb"ex", choosing a dimension based on
+   \verb"\overlaystyle". Unfortunately, I don't think \verb"mu"s can
+   be used for vertical movement.} 
+
+The macro is even sufficiently robust to cope with nested overlays;
+the code
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+$\overlay{\lower.6ex\hbox{$\overlaystyle\smile$}}
+         {\raise.6ex\hbox{$\overlaystyle
+            {\roverlay{\circ}{\cdot}}{\roverlay{\circ}{\cdot}}$}}
+ \;\;
+ \overlay{\lower.6ex\hbox{$\overlaystyle\smile$}}
+         {\raise.6ex\hbox{$\overlaystyle
+            {\loverlay{\circ}{\cdot}}{\loverlay{\circ}{\cdot}}$}}$
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+yields two friendly smileys:

+\noindent We sometimes use tables similar to the one shown on the
+right when grading homework or exams for a class.  These tables differ
+from one problem set to another only in the values in the last column
+and the total number of rows.  Therefore it is possible to build these
+tables by simply listing out the numbers that go in the last column.
+For example, the table shown here was typeset by typing
+`\verb|\maxpoints 35 5 60 -1|'.  In general a table for $n$~questions
+with maximum possible points $p_1$,~$p_2$, \dots,~$p_n$ is produced by
+typing
+%
+$$\halign{\indent#\cr
+    \verb|\maxpoints| \ $p_1$ \ $p_2$ \ $\ldots$ \ $p_n$ \
+      $\langle$negative number$\rangle$\cr}
+$$
+%
+The macro \verb|\maxpoints|, given below, uses \verb|\afterassignment|
+trickery to read the numbers one at a time.  It generates a line
+specification for each non-negative number in the list.  When it finds
+the negative number, it wraps up the table by generating the last
+(``Total'') line.

+\squashedsubsection{\TUB\/ tables of contents on-line}
+                   {Barbara Beeton \\
+                    Editor, \TUB}
+
+In the {\small SHSU} archive (\verb|ftp.shsu.edu|), the \TUB\/ area is
+in \verb|tex-archive/|\break \verb|digests/tugboat|\ts. Among other
+things, it contains the plain and \LaTeX{} styles for \TUB\/ and the
+\tug\ meeting proceedings, complete tables of contents for all issues,
+and Nelson Beebe's explosion of this information into a \BibTeX{} file
+and permuted index.
+
+The tables of contents are stored by year in files named \verb|tb|{\it
+vvyy}\verb|.cnt| ({\it vv\/} is the volume number and {\it yy\/} the
+year); they can be run through \TeX{} in 5-volume chunks with
+``driver'' files named \verb|tbcv|{\it vv}\verb|.tex| where {\it vv\/}
+is a multiple of~5 giving the number of the last volume in the group.
+To process the tables of contents, the file \verb|tbcont.def| is also
+needed.
+
+The file of \TUB\/ contents in \BibTeX{} form is \verb|tugboat.bib|;
+the files \verb|tugboat.kwic| and \verb|tugboat.ptx| pre\-sent the
+same information in keyword-in-context and permuted index form,
+respectively.
+
+I've done some work toward creating a ``real'' index for \TUB{} but it
+is still quite a way from completion.  Until that is available, anyone
+looking for a particular \TUB{} article should be able to find it with
+the help of one of these files if they know either the author or some
+word(s) from the title.

+
+\MF\ source of release 1.0 of Fraktur (German Gothic) fonts in {\tt
+cm}/{\tt dm} and {\tt dc} layouts (German Gothic) is available at
+\verb|rsovax.lps.u-psud.fr| in \verb|[anonymous.gothic.fraktur]|\ts. 
+These Fraktur fonts (now called {\tt cmfrak} and {\tt dcfrak}) were
+generated by myself, using the 1990 designs of font {\tt yfrak} by
+Yannis Haralambous.
+
+Additions to Yannis' work include shifting umlauted letters to the
+Cork positions, building umlauted versions for capitals and creating
+non-German accented letters (to enable quoting foreign proper nouns,
+for example), after moving the ligatures to some free places and
+removing the ``small-e-umlaut'' variants.
+
+The double-quote ligatures have also been removed, since they were not
+compatible with {\tt german.sty}, which makes the quote character {\em
+active\/}. Conversely, the {\tt s:} has been kept to yield the final
+short {\em s}. Unfortunately, it is likely that this ligature will
+inhibit the correct hyphenation of a word like {\em Ausgang} whose
+internal {\em s} is typed with a final {\tt s}. 
+
+Complaints and suggestions about special letters are welcome ---
+especially Icelandic or Central European --- and should be e-mailed to
+{\tt taupin@rsovax.lps.}\break {\tt u-psud.fr}\ts.

+\subsection*{NTG's CD of 4All\TeX}
+
+At the end of 1993 the \ntg\ (the Dutch-speaking \TeX\ users group)
+released the package ``4All\TeX: A \TeX\ Workbench for {\small MS-DOS
+PC}s'' on 31 discs. This June a {\small CD} will be released, on which
+the most important \TeX- and \LaTeX-related packages are assembled,
+including public domain system-independant software. This {\small
+CD-ROM} should enable users to set up a 4All\TeX\ system with minimal
+effort. The price of the {\small CD} plus booklet is set at Dfl.\
+60,-- or US\$35. To order, contact your local user group, or the \ntg\
+Secretary, P.O.\ Box 394, 1740 AJ, Schagen, The Netherlands, {\tt
+ntg@nic.surfnet.nl}. In the {\small UK}, contact Sebastian Rahtz ({\tt
+spqr@ftp.tex.ac.uk}). In North America, contact the \tug\ office (see
+address, cover 2).
+
+
+\subsection*{Where to announce new releases}
+
+The mailing list {\tt tex-archive@math.utah.edu} is a good place to
+look for announcements of new \TeX-related software.  To join, send
+email to {\tt tex-archive-}\break {\tt request@math.utah.edu}. You may
+recognise this site as that of a machine and a list maintained by
+Nelson Beebe.
+ 
+Occasionally other archive-related discussions take place, but traffic
+is light.  (And please keep it that way; this is not an appropriate
+place to ask questions about new releases, report bugs, etc.)  If you
+yourself release \TeX-related software to the public, please do send
+mail giving the details, so the various archive maintainers can spread
+its availability. The list is archived; retrieve the files {\tt
+/pub/tex/mail/tex-archive*.*} on {\tt ftp.math.utah.edu}.

+\subsection*{New releases from Karl Berry ({\tt kb@cs.umb.edu})}
+
+Karl has been very busy this spring! All his stuff can be ftp'd
+directly from \verb|ftp.cs.umb.edu|, in the \verb|/pub/tex| subdirectory.
+
+\begin{description}
+   \item [web2c 6.1:] There's a new release, version 6.1,\footnote[1]{By
+         the way, the new version number is 6.x because 5.8515 was
+         just too many decimal points (also running out of characters
+         on my system V file systems). --kb} of {\tt web2c}, a port of
+         the basic \TeX\ project {\tt WEB} programs (\TeX, \MF, {\tt
+         GFtoPK}, etc.)\ to {\small UNIX}. Subdirectory and files:
+         \verb|pub/tex/{web,web2c}.tar.gz|; they should also be
+         available from any of the \ctan\ sites in
+         \verb|tex-archive/systems/web2c|. Send bug reports to
+         \verb|tex-k@cs.umb.edu|; if you want support, or if you
+         cannot ftp, he suggests contacting {\tt
+         unixtex@u.washington.edu}.
+
+   \item [eplain 2.5:] For those who haven't previously heard of
+         Eplain: it is a collection of macros intended to provide
+         relatively low-level capabilities, regardless of how your
+         document appears.  For example, it has macros to do symbolic
+         cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a section
+         heading.  It also has some definitions that make it easier to
+         change the conventions of plain \TeX's output.  For example,
+         it lets you produce left-justified math displays by simply
+         saying \verb|\leftdisplays|\ts. Available in the file
+         \verb|eplain.tar.gz|\ts.
+
+   \item [kpathsea 1.8 {\rm and drivers}:] In early April, Karl
+         announced the release of new versions of {\tt kpathsea}
+         (version 1.8) and the drivers he's modified to use it: {\tt
+         dvipsk} (version 5.55a, a modified version of Tom Rokicki's
+         {\tt dvips}), {\tt dviljk} (version 1.1, modified version of
+         Gustaf Neumann's {\tt dvi2xx} driver), and {\tt xdvik}
+         (version 1.8, modified version of Paul Vojta's {\tt
+         xdvi}). The new releases can be found in the files
+         \verb|{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz|. As always, he thanks the
+         many contributors and invites ``additions, criticisms, or
+         other comments'' from the community.
+
+   \item [fontname 1.6:] Finally, he announced a new version of his
+         font naming scheme for \TeX\ fonts. The document is in
+         Texinfo format, so you'll need the \TeX\ macros in the file
+         {\tt texinfo.tex} to print it; he includes {\tt texinfo} in
+         the distribution (it's also available in most {\small GNU}
+         distributions). From the same ftp address as above, get the
+         file \verb|fontname.tar.gz|, which also contains files
+         showing the naming scheme applied to Adobe, Monotype,
+         Computer Modern, and fonts from other sources.

+\subsection*{The look of automatically-generated numbers}
+
+Every kind of {\TeX} has a little memory box labeled ``page'', which
+contains the current page number.  Each time {\TeX} typesets the page
+number it has to know what the current value is, so it looks in the
+box and sees what it is, just like you or I might do.  Well, this is
+fine, but how does {\TeX} know how the page number is supposed to
+look?  {\TeX} creates another box called ``thepage'' and {\em it\/}
+contains the formatting details. Normally (there are exceptions), the
+definition of the page number format is \verb+\rm\arabic{page}+.  The
+\verb+\arabic+ command tells each form of {\TeX} to get the page
+number stored in the ``page box'' and typeset it using arabic numerals
+(1, 2, 3, etc.).  The \verb+\rm+ command typesets the 1, 2, etc.\ in
+roman face, so our page numbers usually look like a roman 1, 2, etc.
+
+How do I change the way the page number appears?  Change the
+definition of \verb+\thepage+! 
+
+\medskip
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+   In \LaTeX:     & \verb+\renewcommand{\thepage}{--\em\arabic{page}--}+ \\
+   In plain \TeX: & \verb+\def\thepage{--\it\arabic{page}--}+ \\
+\end{tabular}
+\medskip
+
+The same holds true for other automatically-generated things; equation
+numbers, for example.  In {\LaTeX} each time we use a
+\verb+\begin{equation} ...+ \verb+\end{equation}+ environment, we use
+the {\tt equation} box (or counter).  When we use a \verb+\section+
+command, the {\tt section} counter is used.  When we use a
+\verb+\chapter+ command, the {\tt chapter} counter is used, and so on,
+and so on.
+
+Let's say we wanted our equation numbers to come out as
+%
+\begin{center}
+\tt (chapter.section.equation)\qquad
+\it i.e.,\/ \rm (5.4.22)
+\end{center}
+%
+In {\LaTeX}, all we need to do is change the definition for the
+``theequation'' box, like this:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\renewcommand{\equation}{%
+          {(\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{section}.\arabic{equation})}}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+That does it!
+
+
+\subsection*{{\tt report.sty}: breaking lines in the Table of Contents}
+
+When {\LaTeX}ing the test file below, the word ``{\small
+SEGMENTATION}'' is hyphenated to the next line in both the
+\verb+\part+ and \verb+\subsection+ sections.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentstyle{report}
+\begin{document}
+\tableofcontents
+\part{THREE-D MOTION ESTIMATION AND SEGMENTATION}
+\chapter{THREE-D MOTION ESTIMATION AND SEGMENTATION}
+\section{THREE-D MOTION ESTIMATION AND SEGMENTATION}
+\subsection{THREE-D MOTION ESTIMATION AND SEGMENTATION}
+\end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+Normally, to break to the next line we would use \verb+\\+.
+Unfortunately, if this is put in the sectioning command {\LaTeX}
+complains loudly.  This is because \verb+\\+ is a fragile command (see
+Lamport, page~190) and fragile commands have to be ``protected''.
+{\LaTeX} offers the \verb+\protect+ command to do this.  Here's how:
+%
+\begin{enumerate} \itemsep=-2pt
+   \item [\empty] Insert 
+         \verb+\protect{\\}+ just before the word {\small
+         SEGMENTATION}. 
+\end{enumerate}
+%
+This solves the hyphenation problem, but raises two more:
+%
+\begin{itemize} \itemsep=-2pt
+\item When you {\LaTeX} the file,  you'll notice that {\small
+    SEGMENTATION} breaks to the left margin on the ``part'' line in
+    the {\tt .toc} file, making the part number hard to see; and
+\item We need to make sure {\LaTeX} doesn't overwrite our
+    changes the next time we typeset the file ({\LaTeX} re-writes 
+    the {\tt .toc} each time it's run on a file).
+\end{itemize}
+%
+Here's what to do:
+%
+\begin{enumerate} \itemsep=-2pt
+\item Leave the entire problem alone until the text is finished
+      completely.
+
+\item Add a \verb+\nofiles+ command to the preamble of the
+      document.  This will prevent {\LaTeX} from re-writing the 
+      {\tt .toc} file (or any other file, for that matter).
+  
+\item In the first \verb+\contentsline+ command you see several
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+               \uppercase {i}\phspace {1em}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+   These commands add an ``I'' and a certain amount of horizontal
+   space for visual effect.  On the line where {\small SEGMENTATION}
+   appears we need to skip that amount of space, whatever it is.  To
+   do this we use the \verb+\hphantom+ command from plain {\TeX}, and
+   we do it this way:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+               \hphantom{I\phspace{1em}}SEGMENTATION
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\newpage
+
+   The \verb+\hphantom+ command does a ``horizontal phantom''
+   typesetting of ``\verb+I\phspace{1em}+'': it doesn't print it, but
+   it {\em does\/} leave the horizontal space (which is why it's a
+   {\em phantom\/})!\footnote[1]{Ed.: Further to Robert's point
+      about \verb|\phantom|, here's a small rule of thumb I find pretty 
+      handy. Maybe it's gimmicky but \dots
+%
+\begin{itemize} \itemsep=-2pt
+   \item \verb|\llap| and \verb|\rlap| mean ``print it but don't
+         measure it!'' (especially useful in tables)
+
+   \item \verb|\phantom|, etc.\ means ``measure it but don't print it!'' 
+\end{itemize}
+}   %% end of \footnote
+\end{enumerate}
+
+Typeset the file again, and voil\`a! it works.
+
+
+\subsection*{More about protecting ``fragile'' commands}
+
+Generally, the only time a fragile command has to be protected is when
+it's in a ``moving argument''.  What's that, you say?  Glad you asked.
+
+A ``moving argument'' occurs when an argument gets put in more than
+one place ({\em i.e.,\/} it ``moves''). For example, the argument of
+a \verb+chapter+ command gets put not only in the text, but also in
+the {\tt .toc} file, and maybe even the header of a page. Commands
+that do this include sectioning commands and also the \verb+\caption+
+command from the {\tt figure} and {\tt table} environments. (Remember
+that there's a \verb+\listoffigures+ and a \verb+listoftables+
+command.)
+
+In these cases, \verb+\protect+ is used to protect fragile commands in
+the moving argument.  For example, the \verb+\cite+ command is
+fragile.  If you were to cite something in the caption of a figure,
+you would do this:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+  \caption{Example of science (see Janson, \protect{\cite{AFJ}}).}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Another example of where \verb+\protect+ is useful is when one is
+trying to create bold math symbols in a sectioning command.  The usage
+is similar to the caption command above.  The \verb+\boldmath+ command
+is fragile, and it's used this way: 
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+     \section{\protect{\boldmath$\alpha$}}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+What if you have a mathematical expression with only one symbol bold
+in your sectioning command (bad style, I know, but anything is
+possible).  The expression might look like this:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+     $f \times \mbox{\boldmath$\alpha$}$
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+In this case, we protect {\em only} the boldmath'd material, as
+follows:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+     \section{$f \mbox{\protect{\boldmath$\alpha$}}$}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The key here is that {\em you only protect the command that is
+fragile, not the command that contains the fragile command\/}.

+\squashedsubsection{Nordic Group --- Nov.\ 1993 in Finland}
+                   {Dag F.\ Langmyhr   \\
+                    University of Oslo \\
+                    \tt dag@ifi.uio.no}
+
+The 1993 annual meeting of the {\small NTUG} (Nordic \TeX{} Users
+Group) was held on Monday, November 29th, at the University of
+Helsinki, Finland, and hosted by Martti Nikunen.  The following talks
+were presented:
+
+\begin{description} 
+   \item [Typesetting of multilingual documents:] Johannis Likos
+         talked about the problems of typesetting text with non-Latin
+         characters. The presentation focused on the use of
+         Scholar\TeX, a package that makes it possible to typeset such
+         documents using \TeX, created by Yannis Haralambous and
+         commercially available for various platforms. It contains
+         several alphabets, including Arabic, Hebrew, and polytonic
+         Greek.
+
+   \item [The \TeX{} multilingual effort:] Enn Saar (Estonia) gave a
+         summary of the present status of this project, and
+         particularly the {\small TWGMLC} (Technical Working Group on
+         Multiple Language Coordination). At the \tug\ meeting last
+         year in Aston, this group had formulated the contents of a
+         minimal \TeX{} language package, and has since extensively
+         discussed the subtleties of the future language-switching
+         commands. Most languages will be able to use the Cork code
+         table for output, but one of the most serious problems is how
+         to incorporate into the packages the myriad of existing input
+         encodings. The mechanisms proposed include filters, \TeX{}
+         active characters and the \TeX{} codepage extension. Saar
+         favoured the last as the most complete solution, although
+         this does not belong to the standard \TeX.
+
+   \item [\PS\ fonts for Scandinavian languages:] Dag F.~Langmyhr first
+         told the history of the particular Scandinavian letters
+%% 
+\message{WARNING: This item requires the DC fonts -- read these
+         instructions!!} 
+%%
+%%  Tactics: (a) replace the 3 chars in question as indicated, or
+%%           (b) install/use the DC roman font dcr10.
+%%
+%% Tactic (a)
+%%        i.  ^^f0 is the Icelandic letter ``eth''. Available in the
+%%                 DC fonts, it is also available in the AMS symbols
+%%                 font msbm10, under the name \eth (char. position
+%%                 "67; charcode '167). If you have the wsuipa font
+%%                 and the macro def'ns, use \eth (charcode '023).
+%%       ii. << and >> are the French guillemets (``quotation
+%%                 marks''). Approximations appeared in TTN 2,3:5--9.
+%%                 Better still, consult _french.sty_ v3.25, by
+%%                 Bernard Gaulle. Below, a hack is used, based on the
+%%                 TTN article. 
+%%      iii.  ^^12 is the quotation mark '' set at baselineheight. The
+%%                 command \raisebox{-1.35ex}[0.3ex][0.2ex]{''}
+%%                 should approximate the effect.
+%% 
+%%        To use this approach, uncomment the following lines:
+%%
+%%\def\LowerQuotes{{\raisebox{-1.35ex}[0.3ex][0.2ex]{''}}}
+%%\font\Hack=lasy10
+%%\def\Frenchopening{{\Hack\char'050\kern-.2em\char'050}}
+%%\font\Makedo=msbm10 %% AMS symbols font
+%%\def\Eth{{\Makedo\char'147}}
+%%
+%% NOTE: IF you have the WSUIPA fonts, uncomment the following for a
+%%       slightly bolder-looking eth:
+%%   \font\Makedo=wsuipa10
+%%   \def\Eth{{\Makedo\char'023}}
+%%         (e.g., \ae, \Eth\ and \"a) and quotation
+%%         marks (e.g., \Frenchopening\ and  \LowerQuotes) in \TeX{} and
+%%
+%% Tactic (b) if you have the DC fonts installed, then uncomment the
+%%            following 2 lines:
+%%
+\font\upgrade=dcr10
+%%
+(e.g., \ae, {\upgrade^^f0} and \"a) and quotation
+marks (e.g.,{\upgrade <<} and {\upgrade^^12}) in \TeX{} and
+         Computer Modern. The Cork encoding made all these characters
+         available and made it possible to use the letters in
+         hyphenation patterns.
+
+         Using the Scandinavian characters in \PS\ fonts was also
+         difficult for many years, until it became possible to specify
+         an encoding vector to the {\small DVI}-to-\PS\ driver. The
+         most important remaining problem is that \PS\ font metrics
+         seldom give any kerning pairs for the Scandinavian
+         characters. This issue has now been solved by Alan Jeffrey's
+         package {\tt fontinst}, which creates kern pairs based on
+         character similarity.
+\end{description}
+%
+The final part of the meeting was spent discussing how to make it
+easier for Scandinavian users to install and maintain an up-to-date
+\TeX{}. It was decided to split the Nordic \TeX{} archive in two: one
+in Finland for PC implementations, and the other in Sweden for {\small
+UNIX} and Mac installations.
+
+The next {\small NTUG} meeting will be held in Oslo on May 16th of
+this year.
+
+
+\subsection*{TUG'94 --- Santa Barbara, California \\
+             31 July -- 4 August}
+
+By now most of you will have received the pink flyer with preliminary
+information on the conference: the presentations are outlined on the
+next page, the courses are listed on p.\ 26. Some points to highlight
+include:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+   \item The conference and accommodation fees cover the period from
+         {\bf Saturday evening} (30 July) to {\bf Thursday afternoon}
+         (4 August). 
+
+   \item {\bf Registration} begins on Saturday; the {\bf Reception}
+         will be held that evening.
+
+   \item The {\bf Banquet} is {\em included\/} in the accommodations
+         fee (for those staying off-campus there will be a \$35
+         charge).
+
+   \item {\bf News Flash!} There will be a one-day registration fee of
+         100.00 (can only be used once).
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Bursary Fund:}
+
+This will be the second year for \tug's Bursary Fund. Although some
+funds were left over from last year, we are taking this opportunity to
+let the membership know that the current Bursary Committee will be
+inviting all \tug\ members to consider contributing to the fund.
+\tug'94 registration forms will provide a space for donations; if you
+are unable to attend, but would still like to contribute to the fund,
+you may do so by contacting the \tug\ office directly for more
+information. The Bursary Committee comprises Bernard Gaulle and Norman
+Naugle, with Christina Thiele as liaison to the board.
+
+The bursary fund is intended to provide financial assistance to cover
+travel and/or expenses to attend the upcoming \tug\ meeting in Santa
+Barbara. The fund is not focused on any specific geographic region;
+rather, the fund is for those who demonstrate reasonable need, and/or
+have never attended a \tug\ meeting before.
+
+If you wish to apply for a bursary, kindly send a letter to Bernard
+Gaulle, chair of the Bursary Committee, providing details of your
+requirements, including precise costs where possible. Bernard Gaulle,
+4, avenue Cadoux-Girault, F-92270 Bois-Coulombes, France; e-mail: {\tt
+gaulle@idris.fr}.

+\subsection*{Euro\TeX '94 --- Sobieszewo, Poland \\
+             26--30 Sept.}
+
+Euro\TeX '94 will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off
+the coast of Gdansk in Poland.  The conference will run from Monday to
+Friday, 26--30 Sept., and the {\em maximum} cost (two people sharing)
+will not exceed \$260.00/\pounds 175.00/DM 450.00.  Those arriving
+early on Monday will be able to take part in a guided tour of the old
+town of Gdansk, whilst Tuesday to Thursday will be jam-packed with
+talks and tutorials on \TeX\ and related topics.
+
+Delegates will stay in a single building, cut off from civilisation
+for a whole week: no distractions, no need to leave the island ---
+everything will be provided.  For those unable to sustain the pace,
+quiet meditative walks along the shore searching for amber will
+provide the ideal opportunity for therapeutic meditation.
+
+Early registration for the conference is advised: with its Central
+European location and idyllic setting, the conference is expected to
+attract many delegates. If you are even {\em thinking\/} of coming,
+then you are urged to contact us to be added to the mailing list.
+
+\begin{center}

+\end{center}
+
+\subsubsection{Bursaries:} 
+
+As with Euro\TeX '92 and the \tug\ meeting at Aston last year, it is
+hoped to be able to offer financial assistance to delegates who would
+otherwise be unable to attend; of course, we cannot be sure at this
+stage that sponsors will be as generous as in the past, but intending
+delegates who will need assistance in order to be able to attend
+should indicate in the space provided the {\em minimum\/} bursary
+which would allow them to be able to attend, and should give clear
+reasons why they are applying.  All applications will be treated in
+the strictest confidence.  Delegates who are in no need of a bursary
+and who are able to assist others less fortunate are urged to pledge a
+donation.
+
+\subsubsection{Tutorials and Courses:} 
+
+It is intended to offer both tutorials (which will take place during
+the week of the conference proper), and courses (which will take place
+during the week following the conference); proposed topics include
+book design and \LaTeXe, but no firm decisions have yet been taken on
+topics, durations or costs.  Further details concerning this area will
+be circulated as soon as they are known.

+\squashedsubsection{Teaser}{Malcolm Clark \\
+                            Christina Thiele}
+
+Malcolm and I ran this little teaser in the last issue of \ttn\
+(3,1:14): ``What's special about this sentence?'' The answer? Put it
+all into caps, and then change the font, and \dots\ voil\`a!
+
+\begin{center}
+    {\manual NO\ MEAN\ FEAT\ OFTEN\ MEANT\ FAME\ TO\ TEAM\ MEN\ ON\ A\ FOAM\ MAT\rm.}
+\end{center}
+%
+The first three answers received were from: Jacques Andr\'e (France),
+Ulrik Vieth (Germany), and Martyn Johnson (UK). Honourable mentions go
+to Katherine Butterfield (California) and Ed Baker (Massachussetts).
+
+But that was, as we said, just a teaser. Now go on to the next stage!
+
+
+\subsection*{Tester}
+
+The task: Create the longest sentence possible using the letters in
+``\MF''. It {\em does\/} have to be a (semi-)plausible sentence. The
+rules:
+%
+\begin{enumerate} \itemsep=0pt
+   \item You may use any letter as many times as you wish to form a
+         word.
+
+   \item You may not use the same word more than once in the sentence.
+
+   \item Sentences may be created in any language: diacriticals are
+         not required. If the sentence is not in English, a
+         translation must be supplied. 
+
+   \item The words should be able to be verified by reference to an
+         authoritative language dictionary (e.g.\ {\sl OED} for English, 
+         {\sl Langenscheidt\/} for German, {\sl Larousse} for French).
+
+   \item Only one entry per person.
+
+   \item Deadline for submissions: {\bf June 15, 1994}, via e-mail to
+         {\tt cthiele@ccs.}\break {\tt carleton.ca} or snail mail to
+         Christina Thiele, 5 Homestead Street, Nepean, Ont.\ K2E 7N9
+         Canada. 
+\end{enumerate}
+
+This time, the {\em best\/} three will be selected, each in a
+different language (choosing the first three answers turns out to be a
+bit unfair --- you're at the mercy of your postal service!). To the
+esteemed panel of judges (Malcolm and myself), we've added Berthold
+and Blenda Horn. Good luck --- and start creating!

+
+\noindent We would like to take this opportunity to elaborate on what
+we have scheduled as social events for the conference this year. The
+conference will open with registration on Saturday and that evening
+there will be a reception in the Residence Hall.  This will be a good
+time to say hello to old friends and possibly meet new ones. Sunday
+will see the ever-popular night of bowling.
+
+For those staying on campus, Monday evening's dinner will be a
+barbeque on one of the beaches surrounding the campus. Tuesday
+afternoon will be open for exploring Santa Barbara, sightseeing in the
+Santa Barbara Channel aboard one of the charter boats, or a trip to a
+local winery for a tasting experience. That evening we will all meet
+at the Red Dog Saloon for a romping good time of country and western
+music and dance.
+
+The banquet will take place outdoors on Wednesday evening in the
+courtyard of Santa Rosa Residence Hall. The cost of the barbeque and
+the banquet are part of the room and board fees for those staying on
+campus.  If you choose to stay off-campus and wish to take part in
+these activities, please contact the \tug\ office for the additional
+charge.
+
+We at the \tug\ office want this year's conference to be the most
+memorable to date and are striving to make it as entertaining for all
+as possible.  Santa Barbara is a beautiful setting and we hope your
+stay with us will be a pleasant one.
