I found a man page, which says: Frank Liang wrote the first version of this program. Peter Breitenlohner made a substantial revision in 1991 for TeX 3. I would like to download a copy of this latest version. I can't, in fact, find any version of patgen.web in the TeX archives. Can anyone help me please? Thanks! - -- Gary Grosso ArborText, Inc.

I mean: - - there is no hyphenation when the titles of chapters or (sub)section are long. e.g.: CONTENTS .... 3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spherical cavity, in a solid sphere and in a shell 30 but there should be 3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spheri- cal cavity, in a solid sphere and in a shell.................. 30 ** Similar things happen when try to generate index ** - - there is no the "dots" like below 3.2.1 Some title .................................................... 20 I have 3.2.1 Some title 20 instead. Could someone suggest what is going on ? When I use the 'book' class instead 'amsbook' the tableofcontents and 'index' are nice but I would prefer to use amsbook. If would be so kind please send the answer to 'krupa@alpha.sggw.waw.pl' because I have often trouble to access to the news so I could miss the answer. Best Regards Jan Krupa ------------------------------ From: Edward L Chupp Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 09:25:33 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Upgrading to LaTeX(2e) In the late 1980's I bought a TeX package (version 2.09). I now need an upgrade to LaTeX(2e). I specifically need the style file epsfig.sty, but upon examining it I noted that it needs a number of other files aswell. Could you please advise me where I can obtain this package (LaTeX(2e) either commercially or by shareware. I am not a TeXpert, so I would not know hot to "upgrade," i. e., I probably would have to start with a brand new TeX/LaTeX.
