Well, it has been somewhat of a struggle finding much stuff to go into
this issue. I am having more and more to rely on "Letters" than I
would like. Please! I call out again! I LOVE to get your submissions.
I would LOVE to print them. Although, I cannot always include
EVERYTHING, I am normally not very picky when it comes to including
articles. 

Even macros can find their way into the ToolBox normally. Much thanks
to Mauro Orlandini for his contributions from the LaTeX side of
things, both in this issue and in previous issues. Also to J"org 
Knappen who has provided us with three symbols for typesetting
physics. 

I hope you find the NEWS informative this month. 

Drop me a note just to let me know what you think. Is TeXMaG helping
to meet your TeX needs? Is it a joy or a drudgery to read each month?
I'd love to hear from you! (Remember: NABTEXM@TAMVENUS bitnet or
NABTEXM@VENUS.TAMU.EDU internet)

A summary of the some TeX news in the past month:

** An official release of TeX 3.1 is out. A couple of bug fixes  
   from TeX 3.0; it shouldn't be too much hassle for anyone's change 
   files. The new WEB can be FTP'd from labrea.stanford.edu or 
   ymir.claremont.edu, the latter has a nice VMS change file available.
   In addition, Metafont 2.7 was released to be consistent with 
   TeX 3.1 (don't know why it was numbered 2.7 instead of 2.1?)

** LaTeXers!!! Please note the first letter in the next section. Mauro 
   Orlandini has the changes for S-Tables to allow easy input and use 
   into LaTeX.

** In addition, you've probably already heard about the DECUS 1990 TeX
   Collection release. If not, it's available from wuarchive.wustl.edu
   [128.252.135.4] for anonymous FTP. All appropriate files are in the
   /decus/tex directory. I would suggest you take a look at the   
   official announcement in TeXHAX90#63. [If you have trouble doing    
   that, drop me a note and I'll forward it to you (my e-mail address   
   is somewhere at the end of this issue). -ed.] 

** The European TeX Users Group held a conference in Cork, Ireland, 
   from September 10-12.

** Finally, about a month ago, Oren Patashnik released a set of macros
   to let you use BibTeX with plain TeX. These files can also be FTP'd
   from ymir.claremont.edu.

S-Tables and LaTeX
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

As soon as I received the latest issue of TeXMAG (V4N4), I found the
macro package S-TABLES very interesting. Because I normally use LaTeX,
I was curious to compile the file STABLES_DOC with LaTeX, after having
changed all the commands that LaTeX does not recognize: 
 
\eject       --> \clearpage
\vfill\eject --> \clearpage
\bye         --> \end{document}
 
and after having inserted the following preamble:
 
\documentstyle[a4]{article}
\nofiles
\input{s_verbatim}
\input{stables}
\begin{document}
 
(I use A4.STY for european page layout).
The file was compiled correctly! Of course it is not a real proof, but I
think the S-TABLES package can be used as it is in LaTeX, too.

PsFig and OzTeX
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

I have been using OzTeX (a Macintosh version of TeX) for 2 months and
I have some problems in including pictures in my documents. 
 
I know that there is the macro package called psfig: does someone have
some experience in using this package with OzTeX?  Which version of
psfig must be used? (there are three different versions of the
"psfig.pro" and "psfig.tex" files). 
 
Thanks.

LaTeX Wizards:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Is there a way of defining a LaTeX command which will put a frame of
size \textwidth by \textheight around the contents of every subsequent
page in the document ? The command should otherwise leave every thing
unchanged. 

Thanks in advance. 

If you find a solution I would appreciate it if you could e-mail it to
me whenever it is available.

PC, TeX, and LaserJet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
Dear Networkers and TeX users,

I'm a novice user of TeX on PC, and I have some questions to you
concerning the installation of the DVIxxx package. First of all, how
can I access the DVI package for my HP LaserJet printer? Second, how
can I access the related graphic fonts? In other words, please, tell
me all I have to do to access and install a complete DviLaserJet
free-of-charge package. 

Thanks in advance,

We continue our look at verbatim scanning. Last month we introduced 
the S_VERBATIM.TEX macros. It allowed you to use any character you 
chose as a verbatim delimiter, except for the " and a special 
character. Below is the fix to allow you to use special characters 
('$', '%', '#', etc) as delimeters. Special thanks to Raymond Chen for 
his solution to the problem.
 

S_VERBATIM.TEX fails to operate properly if the character
following the double-quote symbol is a special character:

%
% Sample file to demonstrate the problem.
\input s_verbatim
This document generates a ``runaway argument'' error because the
terminating character has the wrong catcode. Here is some "$verbatim$
text.  This text is getting swallowed up by the verbatim macro
because the first dollar sign above has catcode 3, whereas
the second one has catcode 12.  The blank line at the end of this
paragraph will cause \TeX\ to flag a runaway argument.
 
% Here's how to fix it.  Keep everything upto and including the line
% that goes \catcode`\"=\active, then replace the subsequent two lines
% with the following three:

\def"{\ttverbatim\continueverbatim}
\def\continueverbatim#1{\spaceskip\ttglue
\def\readit##1#1{##1\endgroup}\expandafter\readit}

__________________________________________________________________________

Now here is a macro to allow you to input a complete file verbatim. 
Use \verbatiminput{filename} in much the same way as you would use 
\input filename. 

%
% verbatim input macro
%
\def^^L{\par}
  \def\verbatiminput#1{\begingroup \frenchspacing \raggedbottom
  \def\do##1{\catcode`##1=12 } \dospecials \catcode`\|=12
  \parskip 0pt \parindent 0pt
  \catcode`\ =\active \catcode`\^^M=\active
  \catcode`\^^L=\active \outer\def^^L{\eject}
  \tt \def\par{\ \endgraf} \obeylines \obeyspaces
  \input #1 \endgroup}

|           Latin Font Encoding Scheme --- Request for Comments               |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 
[This article first appeared in UKTEX90 #31 -ed.]
 
At the TUG90 meeting in Cork, the font-encoding Birds-of-a-Feather
meeting devised the following encoding scheme for using all 256
glyphs supported by the 8-bit facilities in TeX 3.0.
 
This is currently a draft for which comments are sought:
please direct all correspondence to Norbert Schwarz
(<p920021@DBORUB01.bitnet> or alternatively try
norbert.schwarz@ruba.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.dbp.de).
 
The TeX file which follows should be typeset using the Plain format,
and uses no extended characters.  It can be typeset using TeX 2.x
 
 
%%%<cut here>---------------------------------------------------------
%  This is the final definition of a 256 character code set for

\table
 
\noindent{\bf A few words of explanation:}
\medskip
 
\noindent
\oct{000}--\oct{014} are accents. \oct{014} is an ogonek.
\oct{015}--\oct{024} are quotation marks.
\oct{030} is a small 0 to put after the per cent sign, to turn it into
a per thousand (\%$_0$) or per million (\%$_{00}$) sign.
\oct{027} ({\san cwm}) is a compound word mark
(a zero-width invisible character) used e.g.\ for avoiding ligatures.
\oct{040} is a visible space.
\oct{042} is a {\it straight} double quotation mark.
 
\noindent \oct{041}--\oct{176} is like the 7 bit ASCII code.
Some characters that --- at first glance --- appear duplicated as accent
characters usually have a different shape.
 
\noindent \oct{177} is the hyphen character (that may be different from
the dash (\oct{055})).
\oct{201}, \oct{206}, \oct{241}, and \oct{246} are A's and E's with
ogonek accents.
\medskip
\noindent The table has been sorted to reflect {\tt\string\uppercase}
{\tt\string\lowercase} mechanism for all characters.
 
\medskip
\noindent This table shows the character codes positions, but the
shapes are only approximations.

|                  Three MF Symbols for Typesetting Physics                   |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 
by J"org Knappen
 
For typesetting physics, I created three new symbols:
 
    1. a triple dot accent, denoting the third time derivative,
    2. a left-pointing vector arrow, and
    3. a double headed vector arrow.
 
The latter two are both used in quantum field theory (Dirac equations,
etc.). I decided to create them in Metafont (\stackrel or something
like this usually fails in footnotes).
 
Way of usage (some do-it-yourself):
 
Take the file cmsy10.mf and copy it to mysy10.mf. Change the line
generate mathsy into generate mysymbol.
 
Copy mathsy.mf to mysymbol.mf and delete the ligtable. Change the
"input symbol" into "input mysy" . The file mysy.mf will follow at the
end of this posting.
 
Run METAFONT on MYSY10.MF and create the .tfm and .pk files and place
them into their directories. [see TeXMaG V4N3, "Frequently Asked
Questions" -ed.]
 
Now take the file amssymb.tex (or .sty ,if you use LaTeX), copy it to
mysymb.tex. Replace the string "msym" by "mysy", delete everything
what has to do with msxm. Also delete the long list of definitions at
the end of the file.
 
Add the following definitions:
 
\def\tridot{\mathaccent"0\mysy@7C }
\def\leftvec{\mathaccent"0\mysy@7D }
\def\leftrightvec{\mathaccent"0\mysy@7F }
 
This will allow you to use these characters like the other math
characters.
