Subject: Double-column plain TeX macros

(This is a repost of my original request January 1992)
For double column A-size formatting in conjunction with plain.tex I am
presently using these simple-minded macros:

These macros allows changing from one to two-columns back and forth
using \begindoublecolumns ... \enddoublecolumns.
The main problem with this simple approach to column balancing
is that insertions such as topinsert, midinsert, pageinsert,
footnotes, etc. are not handled correctly.  Thus it is of limited utility 
for preparing two-column camera-ready technical papers, which require
substantial manual tweeking.

Question: are there 2-col macros with a similar simplicity and
functionality, compatible with plain.tex, and which handle 
insertions correctly?

When I posed this question on Jan 1992 I got two replies, for which 
I want the again thank the senders.  One set of macros handled 
insertions correctly but unfortunately did not allow 1-2-1 column 
switchback, which is important in camera ready papers for placement 
of wide Figures and Tables. The other reply included multicolumn
macros as part of a complex package and I was unable to work through it 
to extract what I needed in a reasonable time.

I believe such a macro set would be useful to many technical paper
writers; therefore I encourage wizards to post solutions within 
the stated simplicity and functionality constraints.

Subject: Boldface Lowercase Greek Characters


I have been trying to figure out how I can print Boldface Greek characters.
I have been able to print some of the upper case characters in bold but none
of the lowercases.  Do I need the AMS fonts to do this?  If so, can I use the
AMS fon in Plain TeX?

If anyone has any help or suggestions please let me know.

Subject: UnixTeX

This message may be addressed to a minority of the readers of this
bulletin, but it is a significant and growing minority.

I must regretfully announce that under present revenue projections,
UnixTeX is technically bankrupt, having drifted into default on
at least two occasions in the past six months.  We have a grand
total of two orders for 1993.   We will go on as long as we are
allowed to, but that may not be very long.

UnixTeX is not supported by the University of Washington.  Quite the
reverse.  The University of Washington seizes a substantial percentage
of all UnixTeX income for ``overhead'', and since that ``overhead''
must be paid before all other obligations, we will probably be shut
down absolutely when the next assessment for ``overhead'' comes due.

At that time, all consultation services by email or by telephone will
cease, and all Unix-specific tape distributions will also cease.  An
FTP archive of the UnixTeX distribution will be made available until
University of Washington accountants require its removal, but it will
be frozen in its present state.  There will be no further upgrades or
corrections to this file.  It may be that some site, possibly in
Europe, can take over the work of tape distribution, but that will be
out of our hands.

For four years I have predicted at TUG meetings that free,
unrestricted FTP distribution of UnixTeX would lead to this result.  A
few generous supporters, and an unexpected increase in tape orders
kept it from happening last year, but the crisis has been accelerated
this year by several major hardware failures.

The nine-year old SUN-1 and eight-year old SUN-2 on which the
distribution was resident have become too unstable to be of any
further use.  CPUs, disks, controllers and our last 9-track drive have
all failed.  UnixTeX put together a SUN-3 server out of second-hand
and salvage parts, and this was the source of all tape distributions
for two years.  But the cost of this new hardware eliminated any
balance that UnixTeX had in reserve.  The 600 MB SMD disk on that
machine has now failed, and in the inauguration-day windstorm, a power
surge blew the formatting board on our last tape drive.

The source of our financial problem lies in the fact that
four-fifths of the calls for compilation assistance and similar
support are now from sites which picked up the software by FTP. While
a handful of FTP users have been touchingly generous -- sending in
amounts from their own pockets, and while we acknowledge that many
have helped in other ways -- taking the time to summarize system-specific
problems encountered on varieties of machines we have no access to, the
majority of sites that retrieve UnixTeX via FTP benefit without cost
to themselves, from a service supported in the main by TeX users who
have absolutely no FTP access and who therefore must obtain the
distribution via tape orders.  We strongly support the principles of
the Free Software Foundation; and as long as we are around, we shall
honor our association with those principles by continuing to make all
elements of the distribution available for FTP.  But as the distribution's
survival rests with the ever-diminishing number of sites that order
the distribution on tapes directly from us, and not by FTP, we must warn
that the associated work of organization, documentation and first-level
consultancy is probably about to cease.

We have two proposals for interim support in preparation now, but it
is all too likely that we will not be around even if those proposals
succeed.  Supposing that we do get through the immediate crisis,
however, if UnixTeX is worth keeping alive, it will have to survive on
some sort of subscription system, like National Public Radio.  It is
improper to solicit funds even for a non-profit activity over the
Internet, so we cannot do that here.  It is, however, worth noting
that UnixTeX survived last year in part on some donations that were
made to the University of Washington and specifically earmarked for
the support of UnixTeX.  It is our understanding that such donations
provide a tax exemption.

Subject: Rotated tables and equations numbered by page numbers

I would like to be able to include some tables, horizontally on a
page in a latex document.  I would also like to be able to include
the caption horizontally and use a label.  Can anyone tell me how
this can be done?  Thank you.

Also (this is a repeat question that I thought I might try one more
time), I would like to be able to number equations, theorems, figures,
etc as "chapter.page.number on the page".  It's close.  If you use 
the pagenumber in there, most often the first equation on a page will
be numbered with the previous page number (and in the .aux file, it
does know what page it's one).  Does anyone out there know how to 
do this.  Thank you.

DVIWindo shows the preview (in either TIFF or EPSI) format when an inserted
EPS figure comes with a preview (for printing to PS printers it passes
through the actual EPS data, of course).

To use EPSF.TEX and PSFIG.TEX, though, you need to get them to step
over the binary header when looking for the %%BoundingBox in the
case of TIFF format previews.  Contact me for modifications that do this.

Subject: substituting PS fonts for CM with dvitps; possible?

Having generated a dvi file after including the following in the
preamble of a latex file:

\font\hlv=psmhlv at 12pt
\font\hlvb=psmhlvb at 12pt
\font\hlvo=psmhlvo at 12pt
\font\hlvbo=psmhlvbo at 12pt

I get incorrect font substitution by dvitps when trying to print it.
I believe the problem is missing .pk files, but I'm not sure what to
do since PS is Adobe proprietary.  Has anyone had luck with
ghostscript from the FSF or should I use some other dvi to ps
software.  I often see posted info about dvips, a PD or copylefted
program which sounds really good, but when I downloaded TeX from
washington.edu, all I saw was dvitps, which has been great, except I
couldn't get the full manual as several tex include/input files were
missing and the author does not respond to email.  I would like to
install a more robust version if possible.  I'm open to suggestions as
well as info on how difficult it would be to build dvips from scratch.
Note: I have the latest version of TeX and LaTeX, which were something
of pain to build, but it was worth it.

There is often a delay when posting responses to this mailing list as
I only receive a digest every once in a while, so please email me
directly and I will post a summary.  Muchas gracias (thank you in

I have a request for information regarding the multiple forms of TeX

disabled (dyslexia) TeX users?  Or a suggestion for a manual or text that
would be "less complicated" to read?  I've worked with TeX for 4 years now
and still find that many of my "problems" evolve around the complex nature
of the "beast".  I have learned to keep my documents as simple as possible
and have developed a sample file for my own benefit, but would like to know
if there is additional information available.  Any suggestions would be
beneficial.

Subject: LaTeX macros for classified reports

I'd like to be able to generate classified documents using LaTeX.  In
the archives I have found only one relevant macro, secret.sty.  It
addresses paragraph marking, notably for the continuation of a
paragraph onto the next page.  I don't think its solution (putting the
paragraph marking in the left margin) is very attractive, and
fortunately we've been relieved of that requirement.

However, secret.sty doesn't address {\em page} marking at all.  Has
anyone developed macros to generate appropriate markings at beginning
of each paragraph, and also at the top and bottom of the page (but
perhaps not for the continuation of a paragraph)?  Of course, the page
classification should be the highest of any of the classifications of
the paragraphs on the page, {\em including} any continuation from a
previous page, and any float (figure or table).

Thanks.

In <00966A30.E83D3BE0.31388@SHSU.edu> (comp.text.tex, Mon, 18 Jan 1993
11:39:08 GMT), Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl> posted his newest version
(1.1; 23 September 1992) of fancyheadings.sty and its documentation.  This
is the style I am constantly preaching about on the network to allow users
to customize page headers and page footers (with excellent examples!;
again, if you don't have this style, GET IT).  As this version is not (more
correctly, does not appear to be) readily available on the standard
archives, I am attempting to post this to as wide an audience as possible.

I have taken the liberty of placing the documentation file
(fancyheadings.doc, as posted to comp.text.tex) after the style file macros
with an \endinput (the idea is to keep the documentation within the style
itself for reference purposes).  This combined file is now available at
SHSU and may be retrieved via e-mail by including:
 SENDME STY.FANCYHEADINGS
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
The file is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.STY].  Prior versions of the separated style
file and documentation file (both 1.0; March 1989) have been removed.

I have released version 0.12 of modes.mf.  You can get it by anonymous ftp from

        ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf

You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
file server if you cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of

This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's.  It also makes common
definitions for write-white printers and `special' information.

This version has several changes:
* New modes for the HP LaserJet IV, LaserMaster, Tektronix Phaser, DEC
  monitors, and various Epson modes of operation.
* More documentation on the SparcPrinter.
* mode_write_white_setup_ removed from high-resolution mode_def's, as it
  has no effect.

Thanks to those who contributed to this version.  As always, if you have

From:    Yiannis Moschovakis <ynm@math.ucla.edu>
Subject: New release of greektex

A new version of greektex has been posted in the following two sites:

  math.ucla.edu    128.97.4.254 
                   in the directory pub/moschovakis/greektex

  University of Stuttgart russoft server  129.69.1.12
                   in the directory tex/languages/greek/moschovakis

greektex is a package of public domain programs which make it easy to
use the  well known Greek text fonts of Silvio Levy in Plain TeX or
LaTeX with the full functionality of these sets of macros, exactly as
we use them to process English files. In fact greektex understands
files with mixed Greek and English text, so that it is particularly
useful for the typesetting of Greek scientific class notes, articles
and books: these typically contain many English words---names,
references, scientific terms traditionally given in both Greek and
English when first introduced, etc. Greektex can be installed in any
system with a full TeX implemnetation and it contains all the necessary
programs for creating mixed Greek-English files (pleasantly) on a PC
with a VGA screen and  (barely tolerably) on other machines. 

The most notable improvement over the first distribution of greektex
two years ago is that the new system has a classical (polytoniko) mode
in which classical Greek can be typeset with its full set of aspiration
marks, accents, etc. The modern (monotoniko) mode has also been
improved substantially, primarily by allowing friendlier typesetting of
accented capitals, the diairesis and the Greek quotation marks (which
have been added). The package includes a complete set of all preloaded
and loaded-on-demand LaTeX fonts at 300 DPI, including the "Greek
italic" font which now looks reasonably good. It also includes the
complete set of metafont files and scaling programs used to produce
these fonts, so that someone with a running version of METAFONT can
compile them at any pointsize and resolution. 

The starting point for greektex is the fact that English and Greek are
disjoint languages (no common letters in the internal coding), so their
union can be considered as a single language: there is no confusion in
hyphenation, for example, since no word is both Greek and English. The
system simply replaces the Computer  Modern fonts CMR, CMBX, etc. used
by TeX by extended fonts  GECMR, GECMBX, etc. which have exactly the
same letters coded in the first 128 ASCII characters but incorporate
the Greek letters in the high-bit ASCII characters >127. In doing this
you do not change at all the guts of format files, so that e.g. it is
easy to predict how greektex output of Greek LaTeX files will
look---exactly like LaTeX output, with Greek letters. There is a
conceptual simplicity to this, but also (and more to the point) it
makes it possible to use existing systems of macros (like LaTeX and its
many styles) on documents which contain mixed Greek and English with no
conflicts. The greektex version of LaTeX has complete LaTeX
functionality in the monononiko mode.

The polytoniko mode requires the use of a set of macros which make some
characters active and allow the "friendly" entering of aspiration
marks, accents, etc. It also appears to enjoy complete LaTeX
functionality (as far as I have been able to test it), it can jandle
e.g. footnotes, tabbing, etc. It is clear, however, that  reasonable
care must be exercised: one cannot enter math mode while the
\polytoniko command is in effect, for example, since the characters >,
<, = and " are active---and do not have their usual, math meaning. The
document greektex.doc explains in some detail the precautions needed to
insure (essentially) full LaTeX functionality in the polytoniko mode. 

It has been argued that one cannot build a fully hyphenating system with
both English and classical Greek using 256 character fonts, because the
128 high-bit characters left free after English is coded do not suffice
to code as ligatures all the combinations of letter+accent+aspiration
mark needed by classical Greek. greektex solves this problem by coding
the most commonly occuring combinations as ligatures and depending on the
TeX  \accent primitive for the rest. This works much better than one
might think: 

      greektex applies the hyphenation algorithm to 
      all words which do not have either 
             (1) an aspirated peripvmenh or 
             (2) an accented letter with an iota subscript.  

The words in category (1) have at most two syllables and rarely need to
be hyphenated, and there are just two few of those in category (2) to
cause any problem. Since Greek hyphenation is governed by flexible and
easy to code rules, it turns out that with this scheme, classical Greek
is hyphenated by greektex at least as successfully as TeX hyphenates
English.

A complete description of the system is given in the README file 
and the manual "greektex.doc" included in the package. What follows is
the INDEX of the package.

Subject: New release of greektex

In a message dated Fri, 22 Jan 93 09:49:39 -0800 addressed to the 
ELLHNIKA Distribution List for ???????? TeX Users <ELLHNIKA@EARN.DHDURZ1>,
Yiannis Moschovakis <ynm@EDU.UCLA.MATH> announced a new version of
greektex.
 
In the UK TeX Archive at Aston University, Moschovakis' original INDEX
and README files have been renamed to 00CONTENTS.TXT and 00README.TXT
repsectively.  The file pkunzip.exe has NOT been put into the archive, because
it was felt that anyone using the archive who was PC-based would already have a
suitable program for unzipping the files.  Implementations of unzip for other
architectures also exist.

All binary files are stored, as is necessary in this archive, as
variable-length records, without carriage control, and with a record length of
512 bytes.  Access through NIFTP over Janet can transfer these files in binaary
mode to Vax and non-Vax alike; transfers to a Vax using /CODE=FAST wil result
in a file of the same format, which will need to be changed to fixed-length
records by means of the VMS CONVERT utility.  Access by anonymous ftp over the
Internet, by non-Vaxen, will succeed; users of intelligent VMS-based
implementations of ftp, such as MultiNet's, will also have to apply the CONVERT
utility.

Subject: OS/2 TeX-related packages added to FILESERV/Niord

My thanks to Stefan A. Muehlenweg <muehlenw@samhh.hanse.de> for pointing
out the PM-TeX and EPMTeX packages for OS/2, which have been added to our
archives.  These are imported from the OS/2 ftp archives at
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Attached are the description files.

- --George

                                  PMTEX
                                  -----
The PMTEX package includes the files for Guillaume Schiltz's PM-TeX (v.
2.0; 5 December 1992).  PM-TeX is A TeX-Shell for OS/2 Presentation-Manager
to control programs used everyday for the TeX typesetting system such as
editors, TeX-interpreters, previewer and printerdrivers.  PM-TeX is
conceived to maintain the emTeX-programs but can easily be configured for
other TeX-systems.  The configuration of TeX can be performed by using the
setting-windows of PM-TeX.  PM-TeX opens for each program a new session to
which can be switched from the main menu.  So concurrency and easy support
of full-screen sessions is given.  DOS and OS/2 programs are supported.
DOS-Programs are executed in a DOS-window.

The files are distributed in a 2-part UUENCODEd ZIP archive.  To retrieve
these
files, include:
 SENDME PMTEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
The ZIP file, PMTEX-2_0.ZIP is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.PMTEX].

Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)

                                  ------
The EMPTEX package includes the files for Jon Hacker's EPMTeX (v 1.1; 23
January 1993).  EPMTeX is a TeX Macro Enhancements for EPM 5.51 under OS/2. 
The E macro file tex.e when compiled with the IBM enhanced Editor
translator ETPM.EXE will add a TeX pull down menu to the EPM menu bar. 
Menu items in the TeX pull down menu allow the user to TeX, preview
(portrait and landscape), and print (portrait and landscape) the TeX file
currently active in EPM.

The files are distributed in a UUENCODEd ZIP archive.  To retrieve this
file, include:

FYI:

I uploaded a new version (2.2) of footnpag.sty to
ftp.uni-stuttgart.de (and to ftp.th-darmstadt.de, which happens to be
the reference site).

footnpag is a LaTeX style option which enables the enumeration of
footnotes per page. With two small (documented) changes it runs under
Plain TeX as well. (It was first released in August 1987, this is the
fourth followup release.) It's supported by myself.

From:    Karl Berry <karl@claude.cs.umb.edu>
Subject: TeX font naming scheme

I have released version 1.3 of ``my'' font naming scheme for TeX fonts.
You can get it by anonymous ftp from

        ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/fontname.tar.Z.

I will also send it to you by email if you cannot ftp.

It is in Texinfo format, so you will need the TeX macros in
the file texinfo.tex (available with most GNU programs) to be able to
print it; the directory pub/tex/fontname has a texinfo.tex, as well as
all the individual files.

The rest of that directory contains files showing the naming scheme
applied to Adobe, Linotype, Monotype, Computer Modern, and AMS fonts.

The changes since version 1.2 are primarily just additional fonts, and a
few additional variants.

I am happy to receive additions, criticisms, or other comments.
