pages={19--36},
publisher={Ellis Horwood},
address={Chichester},
abstract={\TeX\ is a high quality document preparation
system that predates the current interest in `desktop
publishing'. It is a highly flexible typesetting package 
-- a markup language -- which has been implemented on a
wide variety of systems, and which uses a range of output
devices, including typesetters, laser printers and dot
matrix.
\par
This paper charts some of the relevant aspects of
the background and growth of \TeX\ from mainframes to 
micros. It describes the original motivations behind \TeX,
and the mixed blessings of its public domain status in
relation to its current standing in the `desktop
publishing' arena.
\par
The elements of \TeX\ have found favour with developers of other text
processing systems. Several such advantages are
illustrated, together with some drawbacks, whether actual
or merely pre-supposed. Our intention is to draw an
up-to-date picture of \TeX\ and its influences, and give
an idea of its future directions in a world populated with
many tools for document preparation, maintenance,
formatting and mastering.

publisher={Ellis Horwood},
address={Chichester},
abstract={Oc\'e  has developed a laser printer,  the Oc\'e
6750,  based on  the  wellknown and proven engine of the
1900 copier family.  The laser  printer  has  a 
resolution  of  508dpi  (20  dots/mm).    The 
printspeed is 23 pages per minute.
\par
The  heavy duty engine guarantees a target load of 150,000  pages 
per  month.   Paper  input and output are as usual  for  the  Oc\'e 
copiers.   Input is via  two  trays ($1600 + 600$) and output  is to  20 
selectable bins of 100 sheets each.
\par
ODA is the first Open Systems standard to provide an  information 
architecture.   ODA is a framework for products which communicate 
and  interwork  using OSI standards like X-400  electronic  mail 
standards.  The Oc\'e 6750 is an ODA-printer.
\par
Oc\'e has developed software to connect the Oc\'e 6750 laser  printer 
to a wide range of VAX/VMS computers.  
The  \TeX-dvi output files are converted to the ECMA/ODA 
protocol  of  the  Oc\'e 6750 printer.   The software
furthermore contains  a  print symbiont.  The symbiont
controls the printer controller and  the conversion
program.  Also available are a series of font tools  for 
generating \TeX\ pxl and tfm files with the  Metafont 
package  and  converting  \TeX\  pxl files into the format
for the  Oc\'e  6750  laser printer. }}

author={Klaus Guntermann and Joachim Schrod},
booktitle=texeter,
year={1990},
editor={Malcolm Clark},
organization={\TeX88},
pages={43--60},
publisher={Ellis Horwood},
address={Chichester},
abstract={Document preparation with \TeX{} is done in two
steps -- first \TeX{} formats the document, afterwards a
\DVI{} driver creates the final output. While \TeX{} is
reliable and produces the same results in each
implementation, dvi drivers remain the critical part of
the document preparation process. To specify a high-quality
\DVI{} driver the circumstances of its usage must be
analysed. We identify four groups of persons 
concerned with the handling of a driver: users, (\TeX{})
system administrators, distributors, and
developers/maintainers.
\par 
The demands on a dvi driver are mainly high reliability
(the device must remain in a consistent state), a uniform
user interface (previews and printer drivers should behave
similarly), and a standardized treatment of extensions
(e.g., handling of graphics inclusion). Other matters of
interest are available features, accuracy of output,
throughput, font handling, portability, and maintainability.
This analysis yields in criteria for the judgement of a
dvi driver's quality -- furthermore these criteria
constitute a contribution to the standardization process.

title={An environment for {\TeX}-{Output}

author={Thomas Stadler and Tibor Tscheke},
booktitle=texeter,
year={1990},
editor={Malcolm Clark},
organization={\TeX88},
pages={61},
publisher={Ellis Horwood},
address={Chichester},
abstract={The paper will show what has to be done to use the
original Monotype fonts when working with \TeX. What
kinds of incompatibilities turn up when \TeX\ output is
to be processed on the Lasercomp, and in where do
the standard macro packages have to be changed?
\par
Integrating the Monotype Times in \TeX\ involved
the problem that the results can only be viewed after
processing on the Lasercomp. Visual control that late
makes it considerably more difficult to use \TeX\ as an
interactive means of typesetting. For this reason we made
Metafont produce typefaces with the width table of the 
Times font, but of course, using the Computer
Modern sources. The resulting pk-files are
public domain. With these you can anticipate the exact
positions of line make-up and page make-up of the
Lasercomp on both screen and laserprinter: thus it is
possible to simulate Lasercomp output.
In addition we are planning to make characters and fonts
available that are missing in the \TeX\ character pool,
such as phonetics, gothic fonts and special characters for
various university faculties.
\par
We have put together font, tfm-files, macro
packages and special characters into a package wich is
easy to install and which enables an author to switch
from the Computer Modern environment to the 
Monotype Times and back.}

abstract={Cambridge University Press has integrated \TeX\
into its production of books and journals. This
integration has addressed all aspects of text preparation
that relate to writing, design, editing, typesetting and
generation of camera-ready copy. The Press has had to
examine the way that \TeX\ redefines the roles of author,
editor, designer and typesetter. This has resulted in a
new role for the DTP specialist working alongside the
designer and typesetter.
\par
Several benefits can result from authors having a direct
hand in the production of typeset pages leading to
reduced costs and faster turnaround, without a
corresponding drop in quality. Widespread experience
demonstrates that these benefits do not necessarily
follow just from a willingness to adopt DTP methods and
we have analysed why this is so within the context of the
large printer-publisher. This analysis and the resulting
\TeX-to-Type service will be described.}}

abstract={GESYCOM has developped a \TeX-driver for the
Linotype type setter LTC 300/500, which allows
professional publishing with high quality laser technology
and a resolution of 2540dpi. The basis of the driver
development was to avoid any restriction in the available
exposure device functions and technology. Moreover, all
the exposure functions should be supplied to the user with
special commands, (e.g. tint and pattern, transposed and
arbitrarily rotated or electronically modified blocks).
The PC-\TeX driver is available for MSDOS-PC's. The PC is
directly coupled to the Linotype Laser exposure device LTC
300/500 (without a PostScript Rip). Formatting via \TeX\ is
achieved by means of the Linotype font metric data for
approximately 2000 fonts. The \TeX\ mathematical fonts
were newly digitised from Linotype in the required \TeX\
font structure. Preview is carried out for a number of
graphic cards using \TeX\ reference fonts and Linotype
metrics. Proof printing is carried out in the same way on
HP-Laserjet+ (compatible) laserprinters. With this
PC-\TeX-driver new possibilities of high quality output
with  additional exposure functions is offered for
the users. The type setter industry, as the place of
production can take particular advantage of the
\TeX-typical formula composition. In the function of a
service industry a typesetting firm can secure for itself
an almost undeveloped sector of market.

abstract={The development of mathematical notation is
inextricably entwined with the development of mathematics
as a whole, viewed both as an area of scholarly study in
its own right and as a toolkit for scholars working in
other disciplines. It can be argued that advances in human
knowledge are impossible without suitable language for
articulating such knowledge, and the abstract concepts of
mathematics provide extreme examples of this. The paper
discusses the impact that electronic methods of
communications have on the use and development of
mathematical notation, which could have a significant
impact on future developments in mathematics as well as in
other fields. It  considers how currently-available
systems for electronic document description perform in
recording and conveying the concepts that scholars wish to
share through the medium of the electronic document. }

abstract={One problem in pseudorealistic computer graphics
is the provision of letters in two and three dimensions
which are  both detailed and smooth. Metafont is a source
of two dimensional letters. The internal representation of
letters in Metafont uses B\'ezier splines.  The great
advantage of splines is their independence of the image 
resolution. We use the splines of Metafont to triangulate
the letters, while  transforming their shapes into 
design patches. These patches have abilities to describe
their own border curves. Design patches have been
implemented in the Vera-raytracing software for use in
CAD-systems.  (Vera is a software product of the
Department of Computer Science, University of Karlsruhe)
The design patches allow the generation of  highly
smoothed free form surfaces without increasing the
rendering time for raytracing algorithms. We built three
dimensional letters with these design patches.  In the
image generation, the design patch is refined into usual
triangles, which are scene adapted: letters which are `far
away' are refined into a small set of triangles, and
letters `close' to the eye point are refined into a larger
set of triangles guaranteeing smooth border curves for the
letter. }}

\par 
In the present study, we  examine the basic constraints
which should be imposed on Metafont sources in order to
translate them into proper PostScript outline font
descriptions. These constraints are: 
\item{$\bullet$} to inhibit use of the
`unfill' and `undraw' primitives in the  Metafont
sources 
\item{$\bullet$} to avoid excessively long and
complicated  constructions in the Metafont sources 
\item{$\bullet$} to forsee and avoid curves that may be
ambiguously interpreted   on the pixel grid by the
PostScript interpreter.  
\par
The latter constraint, the most crucial one, is related to the famous `one-dot
problem', very difficult to resolve inside PostScript, 
as recently discussed in TUGboat.

The mechanism of translation of Metafont  sources into
PostScript outline font descriptions will be illustrated
using the  MacMetafont, the author's implementation of the

Those languages make use  of a great variety of
diacritical marks and/or even of letters of  non-Latin
origin. \TeX\ provides a lot of accents, math accents and
symbols that are quite useful also for linguistic
disciplines, but there are many more characters, which
have to be created separately.  I tried it my way by
writing macros which may eventually be helpful for
philologists  dealing with `exotic' languages, to get
camera-ready copies of their articles  within a very short
time, and to avoid painting `strange' accents and marks by
hand. This ExoTeX is still `under construction', and I

that they are eager to use \TeX\ to typeset texts written

support for languages that use diacritical letters: basic
fonts include a large collection of special symbols (e.g.,
cross `char32' to obtain Polish suppressed
`L' and `l', i.e., `\L' and `\l', and  long Hungarian
umlaut `char125') and \TeX\ itself provides mechanisms
facilitating usage of these symbols (an accent
primitive, ligatures, implicit kerns, etc.). In practice,
however, \TeX\ turns out to be somewhat foreigner
unfriendly. The obstacles we have met seem to be common to
all \TeX\ users whose native languages contain diacritical
letters, Gariepy (1988) and Partl (1988). This encouraged
us to add our remarks -- maybe they will have an impact on
further development of \TeX's international standard?}

specialenvironments. Therefore, many users resort to the 
drawing facilities available on most personal computers,

`hand-drawn'; their quality is inferior to the quality
of the surrounding text that can be realized by   today's
high quality text processing systems.

In this paper we present an entirely new solution that
integrates a tree drawing algorithm into one of the best
text processing systems available. More precisely, we
present a \TeX{} macro package Tree\TeX{} that produces a
drawing of a tree from a purely logical description. Our
approach has three advantages. First, labels for nodes can
be handled in a reasonable way. On the one hand, the
tree drawing algorithm can compute the widths of
the labels and take them into account for
the positioning of the nodes; on the other hand,          
all the textual parts of the document can be treated
uniformly. Second,  Tree\TeX{} can be trivially
ported to any site running \TeX{}. Finally,         
modularity in the description of a tree and \TeX{}'s macro
capabilities  allow for libraries of subtrees and
tree classes.

produces drawings which make the structure of the trees
more obvious to the human eye, even though they may not be
as aesthetically pleasing.

abstract={Sweet-teX\ is a \TeX\ pre-processor, intended to
make the keyboard inputting of \TeX\ simpler; in
particular, easier for a secretary or mathematical typist
to use, without first having to learn much about \TeX. In
effect some sort of pre-processor is always going to be
used for the keyboard inputing of \TeX\ (be it the
crudest of mainframe editors).
\par
 Sweet-teX\ aims to use all the facilities
of a good micro (such as the Macintosh), including
standard word-processor facilities, together with a
range of fonts, to allow the screen display to appear
closer to the final intention. As far as possible, each
command sequence and each symbol is input by a single
keystroke, with as much mnemonic aid as possible, and
will look on screen like the intended output.
This is of great advantage to beginners, who do not have
to learn command sequences, and to poor typists, who do
not have to press so many keys; its value to the fluent
typist who already knows \TeX\ must be judged by other
features.
\par
One of these is that a syntax-checker is provided which
checks such things as the balancing of entering and
leaving mathematics,   \TeX-nical braces $\{$, $\}$, 
and many other details, saving many \TeX\ errors.
\par
Another is that the screen display can be printed
in a way which leaves out or modifies the screen
symbols representing \TeX-nical input (such as
enter and leave mathematics, command \hbox{sequences} and
\TeX-nical braces), giving a pre-print which can be used
for proof-reading (or other purposes). A \TeX\
pre-print becomes unnecessary except for particularly
awkward material.
\par
There are macro facilities which complement those in
\TeX{}. These include `variant tags' which give very
easy treatment of rarely met symbols, in a way which
will at least recognizable in the pre-print, and
correct in the final output (if \TeX\ has the symbol;
the \AmSTeX\ extra fonts are available).
The possibility of
resorting to \TeX\ itself is preserved for use in the most
difficult cases.
\par
There has been some evolution of Sweet-teX\ since its
public announcement in 1986. Its system of logical
formatting using `road-signs' is more complete, and
invisible character trickery is no longer necessary to
pass information from {\it MacWrite} to \TeX. 
\par
 Sweet-teX\ has
been in use in Leeds University Pure Mathematics
Department and some account of its use there will be
given, in particular the use of a TOPS network to
transfer \dvi\ files to an  IBM PC clone to print on
an HP Laserjet.}}

paragraph shapes for an arbitrary sequence of paragraphs; 
and the creation of a macro to identify the typeset position 
on the page.   These are used to show how to design a

other than the production of ordinary alphabets or even sets of
special symbols.  Using the \TeX\ system based on the IBM 6150 (RT),
the following functions have been implemented, employing Metafont in a
nontraditional fashion:
  \item{} A plotting program, which graphs sets of numeric data as
    x-y plots or bar charts.  A Metafont program is
created to draw
    the curves.
  \item{} A conversion program which accepts the output of a
    mouse-based drawing program (Gremlin), converting the drawing 
    commands into a Metafont program.
  \item{} A conversion program which accepts the output of an 
    image processing program on the 6150 and converts
    raster images directly into characters in pk style
\TeX\ fonts. In each case, the strategy is to produce a
font containing only a single (very large) character.  The
character is not a letter or even a special symbol, but is
an entire picture (a graph, a drawing, or a bit image). 
\TeX\ knows how to deal with characters in fonts
regardless of their size, and typesets them in the
ordinary way.  The result is a very flexible system which
combines text, arbitrary data plots and drawings, and
images, in a very natural and straightforward way. }}
