I altered BINDIR and MANDIR in makefile to fit my directories. I did 'make' and 'make install' as suggested in 'readme' file. I didn't change HELPPATH though. To be hnoest, I don't know how yet. I've got 'bibcard' at last. I thought it's been done but it's not. When I typed in some test data and tried to saved the file, it gives 'bus error'. This might be the problem of bibcard itself, but can you fix it for me? BTW, this operation takes up a lot of memory. My computer is going to complain about it again. What a life. Regards, Billy S.

I'm thinking of getting an ink-jet printer to fulfill the dual roles of TeX output device and hard-copy device for printing images. The printer will be attached to a PC running Linux. The currently favoured candidates are the HP deskjet 560C (600x300 dpi) and the Canon BJ600 (360 dpi). Does anyone have any experience in driving either of these from Linux? Could I use the colour capabilities in my (La-)TeX documents? Any useful information gratefully received. ..Adrian Dr Adrian F Clark PHONE: (+44) 206-872432 (direct) FAX: (+44) 206-872900 Dept ESE, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, Essex, C04 3SQ, UK. ------------------------------ UK TeX Archive at Aston University >>> ftp.tex.ac.uk <<< Internet: ftp.tex.ac.uk [134.151.79.32] -- anonymous ftp, gopher, NFS For anonymous ftp, login: anonymous, password: \section Files of Interest tex-archive/00Contents tex-archive/FILES.bydate tex-archive/FILES.byname tex-archive/FILES.byname_diff tex-archive/FILES.bysize tex-archive/MAP tex-archive/README.archive-features tex-archive/README.site-commands tex-archive/README.uploads \section Digests This year's UKTeX back issues are stored in the archive in directory tex-archive/digests/uktex/94 This year's TeXhax back issues are stored in the archive in directory tex-archive/digests/texhax/94 Latest TeXhax: V94 #02 \section Media Distributions Postal addresses are given below. \subsection Washington Unix TeX distribution tape Our latest copy of May/June 1991 contains: TeX 3.14, LaTeX 2.09, Metafont 2.7, plus many utilities suitable for Unix 4.2/4.3BSD & System V tar format, 1 file (36Mb) Send One Quarter-Inch Cartridge, QIC-120 or QIC-150 format (DC600A or DC6150) with envelope AND stamps for return postage to David Osborne (address below); due to currency exchange, this service is offered only within the UK. \section TeX Implementations for Small Computers \subsection PC and Mac disks From January 1994 the UK TeX Users' Group is distributing an emTeX kit for PCs, and an OzTeX kit for Macintosh.
