I tried to install it using the disk08 where I could find the file slitex.zip. I followed the steps indicated to install a disk : using the 4install.bat. The installation, apparently, was ok all the files from the diskette were copied to the directory c:\emtex where I installed the latex. But, when I tried to use it I got a an error message: !Latex Error: Unkown option 'errorshow' for package 'tracefnt' ... 1.270 \DeclareSymbolFont {OT1}{cmr}{bx} {n} Question: What does it mean? Can you tell where to find the slitex and how do I must install it so I can use it? Thank you very much!

Berry" Date: Sun, 20 Jul 1997 16:59:28 -0400 (EDT) Subject: TeX directory structure (tds) 0.9993 available Another draft (0.9994) of the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standards document is now available from: http://www.tug.org/tds/ ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds.tar.gz The DVI file is: ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds/tds.dvi Soon it will be on CTAN as well, in the `tds' directory. (finger ctan@mail.tug.org for a list of CTAN hosts.) The only differences from 0.9993 are a revised section on AmiWeb2c from the author and some editorial changes. If no problems arise from the discussion at the upcoming TUG 97 meeting (http://www.tug.org/tug97/), this will become version 1.0. Please send comments to twg-tds@mail.tug.org. kb@mail.tug.org, for the TDS committee ------------------------------ From: Frank Ende <101644.2150@CompuServe.COM> Date: 22 Jul 97 07:27:41 EDT Subject: TeX Graphic Package? Greetings To Tex UK, I have just started to use Tex (in it's standard form) ver 3.141. I am endeavouring to produce fairly complex standard documents(tax forms, governmental forms etc). My question: I am trying to produce fairly exact documents. As a beginner ( and someone who has spent most of my adult life in the world of windows) I find TeX difficult to use. Are there Graphics packages (with a GUI) which produce TeX code? Which ones would you recommend, and how can I get them quickly (help). Our operating system is SUN OS 5.4 generic sun4m. and we currently using TeX 3.141. A second question: We are also trying to run TeX on a Sequent system(DYNIX 4.0 V4.1.2 i386). We are encountering problems compiling the TeX code. Is there a pre-compiled executable available somewhere which runs under this system?

I would prefer to have it in LaTeX2e (AMSLaTeX) It was told to use minipage environment so I have tried to use 'minipage' and 'tabular' environments but the results are rather poor, the places of numbers are not adjusted and the width of the box is not equal to the width of textwidth (ho to do that?) : - ------- \documentclass[12pt,leqno]{amsart} \textwidth=12 true cm \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \begin{document} bbbbbbb aaaaaaaaa aaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaaaa \par \bigskip \noindent \begin{tabular}{ p{1cm}| p{11cm}|} \cline{2-2} (1) & \begin{minipage}[c]{11 true cm} \begin{equation} \iint\limits_D \nonumber \end{equation} \end{minipage} \\ (2) & \begin{minipage}[c]{11 true cm} \begin{equation} \sum_i x_i \nonumber \end{equation} \end{minipage} \\ \cline{2-2} \end{tabular} \bigskip \begin{minipage}[c]{1cm} \vspace{-0.8em} \begin{eqnarray} \ \\ \ \nonumber \\ \ \\ \ \nonumber \\ \ \\ \ \nonumber \\ \ \end{eqnarray} \end{minipage} \framebox{ \begin{minipage}{11cm} %\vspace{-\abovedisplayskip} \begin{eqnarray} \iint\limits_D xy dx dy \nonumber\\ \sum_i x_i \nonumber\\ \iint\limits_D xy dx dy \nonumber\\ \sum_{\sum\limits_{k=0}^i}^{\sum\limits_{s=1}^m} x_i \nonumber \end{eqnarray} \end{minipage}} \end{document} - ------ Thanks in advance.
