Date: 11 Sep 93 Message No: 041 To: TeX implementors and distributors From: Barbara Beeton Subject: TeX 3.1415 and other updates -- file 1 of 2 The /tex area at labrea.stanford.edu was updated on Sep 4 with Knuth's most recent versions of TeX, MF, and a number of other items. The dates on these items vary from February to June 26 of this year, but in fact, there has not been an update at labrea since spring of 1992, so any file with date later than about April 1992 is almost certainly new there. The labrea updates are done by a volunteer, and without real management support -- the TeX project at Stanford has been closed for quite a few years now, and maintenance is not part of the official program. For this reason, some parts of the /tex area are being withdrawn from labrea in favor of the now more reliable CTAN archives: ftp.shsu.edu ftp.tex.ac.uk ftp.uni-stuttgart.de Concurrently with the updates of the Knuth material, the /tex/tugboat area was emptied and its contents replaced with a single README file pointing to the CTAN sites. I believe that Rainer Schoepf has just asked that the same thing be done with the /tex/latex directory, as maintenance is now officially in the care of the LaTeX3 project, and the canonical files originate in Germany. I have one administrative request: the last numbered message was sent to TeX-implementors in March 1991. Undoubtedly some addresses are out of date. I have checked the current addresses for those of you with whom I correspond regularly on other topics, or for whom I have noticed new addresses in postings to comp.text.tex, etc., but I'm not sure that I've got them all. I will know soon enough from the mailer the addresses that really don't work, but I would still appreciate an acknowledgement of receipt if this message gets through -- and an address update if you have a different preferred address. The files listed below have new dates, as compared with a directory listing from August 1992. It's not certain that all of these files came from Knuth (for example, the /tugboat README file didn't), but I will leave it to your judgment what you feel is important for you. In a separate message I am sending the commentary from Don on the bug reports of the past nearly year and a half. ######################################################################## new files at labrea.stanford.edu /tex/errata: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 56231 Aug 17 1992 cm85.bug -rw-r--r-- 1 468 16328 Jun 26 22:56 errata.eight -rw-r--r-- 1 468 31881 Aug 17 1992 errata.four -rw-r--r-- 1 468 29653 Feb 27 1993 errata.seven -rw-r--r-- 1 468 15837 May 18 1992 errata.six -rw-r--r-- 1 468 4005 Jun 26 23:00 errata.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 468 150842 Jun 26 16:40 errorlog.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 468 310855 Jun 26 16:36 tex82.bug /tex/lib: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 3448 Mar 24 07:37 logo.mf -rw-r--r-- 1 468 22628 Jun 26 22:48 plain.mf -rw-r--r-- 1 468 44102 Jun 26 06:38 plain.tex /tex/local/cm: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 3700 Jan 3 1993 cmsl6.mf -rw-r--r-- 1 468 3804 Sep 7 12:46 gen.mf /tex/local/etc: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 797 Jul 17 1992 Makefile /tex/local/lib: -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 2499 Aug 13 1992 blackdvi.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 258 Aug 15 1989 blackimagen.mf -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 333 Aug 24 1992 blacklino.mf -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 7494 Aug 13 1992 colordvi.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 18480 Mar 10 1993 ctwimac.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 15314 Jun 12 06:36 cwebmac.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 2153 Aug 18 1992 e.mft -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 8210 Aug 13 1992 epsf.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 4081 Nov 24 1992 local.mf -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 72673 Jun 8 1992 mfman.mf -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 421 Feb 23 1993 mproof.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 15836 Mar 7 1993 proofmac.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 1936 Aug 13 1992 rotate.tex -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 210 Aug 24 1992 slantlino4.mf -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 8343 Jun 23 04:24 xepsf.tex /tex/local/mf: -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 2048 Aug 19 1992 Makefile -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 12603 Jul 17 1992 ext.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 680 Feb 22 1993 ini_to_trap -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 54327 Feb 22 1993 inimf.ch -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 22157 Aug 19 1992 mf.pool -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 2645 Aug 19 1992 mf_sunwin.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 56644 Jun 26 22:51 plain.base -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 696 Jun 26 22:51 plain.log /tex/local/mfware: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 31182 Jun 8 1992 gf2dvi.ch /tex/local/tex: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 1960 Mar 20 06:13 Makefile -r--r--r-- 1 468 41 Aug 10 1989 dvitype.in -rw-r--r-- 1 468 13234 Jul 17 1992 ext.c -rwxr--r-- 1 468 705 Jan 26 1992 ini_to_trip -rw-r--r-- 1 468 53901 May 1 19:26 initex.ch -rw-r--r-- 1 468 166300 Jun 26 17:07 plain.fmt -rw-r--r-- 1 468 2415 Jun 26 17:07 plain.log -rw-r--r-- 1 468 25806 Jun 26 16:59 tex.pool /tex/local/texware: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 834 Jul 17 1992 Makefile /tex/local/web: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 705 Jul 17 1992 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 468 23671 Feb 28 1993 tangle.ch -rw-r--r-- 1 468 47215 Feb 28 1993 tangle.p /tex/mf: -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 917972 Feb 25 1993 mf.web -rwxr-xr-x 1 468 939224 Jun 26 22:47 mfbook.tex /tex/tex: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 1027648 Jun 26 16:28 tex.web -rw-r--r-- 1 468 1383013 Jun 26 16:22 texbook.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 468 2436 Feb 27 1993 trip.fot -rw-r--r-- 1 468 184117 Feb 27 1993 trip.log -rw-r--r-- 1 468 22682 Feb 27 1993 trip.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 468 18062 Feb 27 1993 trip.typ -rw-r--r-- 1 468 12895 Feb 27 1993 tripin.log /tex/tugboat: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 1440 Sep 7 13:20 README /tex/web: -rw-r--r-- 1 468 130099 Feb 28 1993 tangle.web -rw-r--r-- 1 468 187249 Jan 12 1992 weave.web -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1156534 Jun 18 16:59 web-5.84b.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1180627 Jun 18 17:00 web-5.851b.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1180628 Jun 18 17:00 web-5.851c.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1166500 Jun 18 17:01 web-5.851d.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1166493 Jun 18 17:01 web.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 336272 Jun 18 17:02 web2c-5.84b.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 381425 Jun 18 17:02 web2c-5.851b.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 386993 Jun 18 17:02 web2c-5.851c.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 441904 Jun 18 17:02 web2c-5.851d.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root 441897 Jun 18 17:02 web2c.tar.gz ######################################################################## xxx ######################################################################## %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Character code reference %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % Upper case letters: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ % Lower case letters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz % Digits: 0123456789 % Square, curly, angle braces, parentheses: [] {} <> () % Backslash, slash, vertical bar: \ / | % Punctuation: . ? ! , : ; % Underscore, hyphen, equals sign: _ - = % Quotes--right left double: ' ` " %"at", "number" "dollar", "percent", "and": @ # $ % & % "hat", "star", "plus", "tilde": ^ * + ~ % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [ end of message 041 ]
