Maybe we should change the subject of out list, after all S in NTS
stands for ``System'' and N for ``New''. All we need is a small change
of T abbreviation to ``Technology'' ;-)

PS. I'm really happy to get ANY letter from NTS-l, even that one :-)

Subject:      Survey: Existing extensions to TeX

What extensions to TeX does already exist ? I am aware of TeX-XeT,
TeX--XeT, MLTeX and Sisisi, but there may be more. Specially I have heard
that some commercial implementations provide additional primitives or
extensions.

Do extended MF's exist (I'm aware of none) ?

What additions to the standard TeX kit exist (Roughly the following
programmes: weave, tangle, TeX, MF, gftopk, gftype, pktype, tftopl, pltotf,
dvitype, mft, vptovf, vftovp ... did I miss any? ) ?

Yours, J"org Knappen.

J%org: Please post (or mail me) a summary of eventual e-mail replies.

Btw, I think you are also aware of the macro packages and utilities
LaTeX, BibTeX, Ams-Stuff[Fonts, TeX, LaTeX] and more, but what you consider
seems to be slightly different ..

j"org knappen asks:
    What extensions to TeX does already exist ? I am aware of TeX-XeT,
    TeX--XeT, MLTeX and Sisisi, but there may be more. Specially I have heard
    that some commercial implementations provide additional primitives or
    extensions.

vtex, by micropress, inc., forest hills, ny, has added a number of
primitives.  it reportedly has a "compatibility" switch that enables
it to pass the trip test, but i've never had the opportunity to
examine the evidence.  the author, michael vulis, has said that
vtex is *not* tex -- files using the extensions are not backward
compatible.  (see reference below.)

among the new primitives are the following:
    \aliasfont -- for substituting a scalable font for standard cm
    \exec -- for adding new "commands" (primitives?) to vtex
    additional keywords on the \font command:
        slant, aspect, smallcaps, outline, shadow, gray, fillpattern
probably more are described in the book by michael vulis, but i can't
find my copy at the moment.  the information given here appears in
the tugboat article by vulis, "vtex enhancements of the tex language",
11 #3 (sept. 1990), pp.429-434.

    Do extended MF's exist (I'm aware of none) ?

the vtex people have also created an implementation of mf that is
advertised as being able to create "either bitmapped or scalable
fonts".

    What additions to the standard TeX kit exist (Roughly the following
    programmes: weave, tangle, TeX, MF, gftopk, gftype, pktype, tftopl, pltotf,
    dvitype, mft, vptovf, vftovp ... did I miss any? ) ?

gftodvi is part of metafontware; a printed woven output of the four
mfware programs (gftype, gftopk, gftodvi and mft) can be obtained
from the tex users group as the publication texniques #13.

along with the adaptation of type-1 (postscript) fonts to be used
with tex, the pfa/pfb manipulation programs might be considered to
be part of the font kit.

Hallo J"org,

I think that patgen could be considered an addition to the standard TeX kit.

Perhaps MetaPost can be considered an `extension' to MF.
