Subject: Re: How to make Glossary during thesis writing

In response to Ferose Lambay's question about glossary preparation, I can 
offer a simple wrapper that turns BibTeX into the glossary generation tool 
"GlossTex" (apologies if anyone has already used this name).

For the user, this works in much the same way as BibTeX, reading the auxiliary 
file (.aux) and using database files (.gly) plus a style file (.gst) to 
produce a glossary (.gls) that can be incorporated in subsequent LaTeX runs.  
User commands for the LaTeX source are provided in a style file (.sty) in the 
normal manner.

GlossTeX is implemented as a shell script which uses all the usual UNIX tricks 
to manipulate the input and output of standard (0.99c) BibTeX. It should run 
on any sensible UNIX machine although it was developed on System V Release 4.  
The LaTeX style file is based on 2.09 of 7 Dec 1989 and may need some 
tinkering for more recent versions - I haven't checked.

If this looks useful then please mail me direct for the script plus supporting 
files, examples and manual page.

What you need is macro style file. Get the babel system in 
CTAN:./tex-archive/language/babel.

Copy the file 'skeleton.doc' and rename it to 'kannada.doc'.  Then edit
the latter file translating all the language specific bits into the
Kannada language. In the original file they are in English.

Once done, send a copy to the author of babel for inclusion in the next
release.

Have fun!

I don't know NextStep very well, but as far as I know there is a somewhat
"normal" UNIX system hidden behind the graphical user interface. I think
if your MetaFont package and how it is installed is like all the other
UNIX-based systems you should be able to "go down" to the UNIX level and
invoke your MetaFont using shell commands. What are the "README" or "INSTALL"
files saying which came along with the package ? (I have written some C-Shell
script to automate the boring font building process on my UNIX system...)

May be there is a GUI shell for invoking TeX and MetaFont on your system as
part of the TeX/MetaFont package and you just haven't noticed that. (On my
Atari at home I have a nice graphical shell which was part of the package I
use.)

May be the DVI driver you have to get on-screen previews has the ability to
build the missing font files used in your document but not on available (you
must have at least the TFM files for this to work).

May be you will find on TeX/MetaFont providing internet sites GUI shells and
DVI driver capable of automated font building...

Subject: special's

Hello TeX friends,
I have just observed strange behaviour. I was trying to fine tune the
positioning of my EPSF pictures. They needed a special postscript prolog, so I
used:
 
\special{header=gnudict.pro}
 
in the preamble of the LaTeX2e document (it was LaTeX2e as of Dec 1993). In
order not to spend much time on texing I put the each picture definition into
its own file and fine tuned one picture at a time. The picture started with
 
\begin{figure}[p]
 
and the document looked like:
 
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{epsf}
\special{header=gnudict.pro}
\begin{document}
\input{myfig}
\end{document}
... the rest of the document commented out by the previous line
 
The result was that the specials for EPSF inclusion worked but
\special{header=gnudict.pro} silently disappeared. Dvitype revealed that it
did not get into the dvi file.
 
When I processed the whole text, all \special's were put into the dvi file as
expected.
 
I have some explanation for that mystery. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
 
When TeX encounters a \special, it makes a `whatsit' and puts it into MVL (The
TeXbook, pp. 228--229). Then LaTeX2e reads in the myfig.tex file which
contains only the definition of a figure. \end{document} then somehow invokes
the output routine. Now LaTeX2e finds a non-processed float which takes the
whole page. It sends the float to the dvi file but the `whatsit' remains in
the MVL. Then it should process the last unfinished page but there is no `ink'
on it, nothing to print, there is only the `whatsit'. Thence TeX or LaTeX2e
forgets about it and the `whatsit' is not written to the dvi file.
 
I must admit that it took me a long time reading the documentation of DVIPS
and looking at \special's in epsf.sty and everything looked like unexplainable
mystery until I found the following sentence on p. 228 of The TeXbook:
 
``Therefore it (=whatsit) is implicitely associated with a particular position
on the page, namely the reference point that would have been present if a box
of height, depth, and width zero hade appeared in place of the whatsit.''
 
Can someone explain whether this is caused by LaTeX2e or by TeX itself and
whether it is a bug or a feature?
 
Oh! As I was writing this mail, it got into my mind to try the simple file
 
\special{header=gnudict.pro}
\bye
 
and run it through plain TeX. The dvi file contained the empty page but the
\special was there too!

I tried using the following:

     XXX... \flushright{....YYY}\\

But it split the text across 2 lines.

Any LaTeX buffs out there, that can suggest how to do it
in a simple way.

The facts:

1. I am a writer;
2. I _really_ like TeX and MF, and in fact do all my serious writing on a PC
using TeX. When necessary, I design my own fonts in MF. I especially like
the cmtt fonts which, with good TeX macros, produce copy almost identical to 
typewritten without my having to worry about the formatting details. This
makes life easy for both me and the for the editors who have to read my stuff.

3. On the other hand, for short notes and letters, it's hard to beat a nice
Windows Word Processor.

So this leads me directly to want MF fonts usable in Windows (both on the
screen and on 300 dpi laser output). 

I don't care if they are scalable (i.e. I'd be quite happy to choose from
a small fixed set of sizes produced by some sort of pk2fon program); if they
are scalable, I don't care if they are TT or PS as I run the current release
of ATM. (In principal, since both PS and MF use bezier curves, I suppose
it ought to be possible to take MF source and produce PS fonts, although I
wouldn't like the job of making such a program actually work.) I don't care
about the number of intervening stages and programs necessary to get from
PK to PS/TT/FON/whatever. What I would like to know is HOW to get there
from here. It's got to be possible, and I'm almost certain that the necessary
programs have to be available somewhere; it's just that I'haven't come across
them.


I will post a summary of any helpful replies I receive.
Thanks.

                        Ps2pk 1.4 release
                        -----------------
                           (Jan. 1994)

Some time ago Norman Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu> sent me some patches so
that ps2pk can handle larger and more complicated fonts. Most of these
patches had to do with memory limitations in version 1.3. These
limitations and some other bugs are now removed. Here is a short
summary:
   1) Memory allocation made dynamically
      1.1 in computing runlengths (needed to build PK fonts)
      1.2 in scanning type1 fonts (to overcome `fixed' virtual memory)
   2) Problem with handling Lucida font (negative widths) solved
   3) Improved error handling in scanning AFM files
   4) Provided hooks to handle non 32-bit platforms
   5) Some cleanups
   6) Improved Makefiles.

Subject: Excalibur 1.5 Available (Spelling Checker)

Version 1.5 of Excalibur is now available from sol.cs.bucknell.edu in
pub/mac.  I've also sent it to CTAN.  Here's a copy of the README file
that comes with it.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is release 1.5 of Excalibur. 1/14/94

Excalibur is a Macintosh spelling checker for LaTeX documents. You can
optionally turn off LaTeX parsing, so Excalibur is a good plain text
spelling checker too.

Features include:

- - Excalibur will offer suggestions for how to correct a word.

- - Excalibur can spell check the clipboard. This makes it a good
spelling checker for any text based application such as Alpha, BBEdit,
or Eudora.

- - You can teach it about new LaTeX commands and environments that 
you define.

- - Optionally spell checks text in the typewriter (\tt) font.

- - You can create your own dictionaries.

- - Works with Textures and OzTeX documents. It should work on any TEXT file.

- - You will need System 6.0.4 or higher to run Excalibur.

- - If you are running System 7 or greater, there is balloon help. 

- - Excalibur is free.

- - British, Dutch, French, Germain, and Italian dictionaries are also
available.

Version 1.5 changes:

- - Added options that let the user choose how Excalibur should behave
when you launch it.  You may choose to present an "open file" dialog,
open the clipboard if it has text, or do nothing.  When the clipboard
option is checked, Excalibur will also open the clipboard when it
receives a resume event (if it contains text).

- - Adjusted a few of the dialogs so that they all appear and behave
consistently.  Hitting Return or Enter is the same as clicking the
default button.  Command period is the same as cancel.

- - Made some changes so that Excalibur's interactions with Alpha are
smoother.

- - Fixed the Edit Commands dialog so that it is a bit more intuitive.

- - Fixed the Edit Environments dialog so that you no longer enter the
number of arguments.  Excalibur never used these values anyway.

- - You can now drag Excalibur's windows to another monitor.

- - Fixed a few minor bugs.

Subject: web2c 6.1 et al. available

I've released version 6.1 of web2c, a port of the basic TeX
project web programs (TeX, Metafont, GFtoPK, etc.) to Unix, 
and my modified drivers (dvipsk and xdvik).

You can get everything by ftp from:

      (Boston) ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{lib,web,web2c,dvipsk,xdvik}.tar.gz

Soon they will be available from the CTAN sites (please try them first):

       (Texas) ftp.shsu.edu
     (England) ftp.tex.ac.uk         
     (Germany) ftp.uni-stuttgart.de

See the ftp retrieval instructions below for precise details. 

A summary of the changes is below.  Send bug reports to me (I'm sure
there will be plenty). If you want support, or if you cannot ftp, I
suggest contacting unixtex@u.washington.edu.

There are no changes to the web files (that will be version 7.0);
web-6.1.tar.gz is only different in the name of its top-level directory.

lib is a collection of the basic tfm, tex, mf, and bibtex files
  (in my opinion). Only change from 6.0 is to add the raw tfm's for Utopia.

web2c:
* foo.bar found before foo.tex (found before foo).
* configure links sun.c to sun-sunview.c if SUNWIN is defined.
* -DLONG_64_BITS is supplied automatically (if appropriate).
* Various changes for configure --srcdir.
* Sample MakeTeX* scripts included.

dvipsk:
* Don't complain if scaled fonts are close enough.
* Document -pp.

There are no particular xdvik changes; just keeping up with the kpathsea
fixes.

Users of ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.dante.de will be able to retrieve
the same tex-archive files, but site-specific files (i.e., the two
mentioned in the next paragraph) may be named differently.

Upon logging on (to ftp.shsu.edu), retrieve and read 

    README.archive-features and
    README.site-commands 

to learn how to use the archive efficiently.  

We assume that you will have read these documents and will be able to
use the information in them to make retrieval more convenient for yourself.

    For example, by reading these files, you will learn that you will be
    able to retrieve foo.tar.gz even if the file does not exist, because
    the ftpd allows archiving and compressing files on the fly.

In our instructions, the mode of compression used during retrieval is
gzip.  All files ending in .gz are gzipped.

We encourage you to retrieve and install GNU's gunzip utility, part of
the gzip package.  Set "binary" by typing "bi" at your ftp prompt, and
retrieve the file

    ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip/gzip-<version>.tar

It does a better job of compression than standard Unix compress; and it
is (as far as is known) patent-free. It is illegal to use Unix compress
for software on the net, because it infringes on a software patent.

     To inform yourself about the new software monopolies 
                in the U.S., send mail to the 
               League for Programming Freedom: 
                      lpf@uunet.uu.net


For a basic set of input files and fonts:
- ----------------------------------------

        ftp> cd tex-archive/systems/web2c
        ftp> bi                                 [for binary retrieval]
        ftp> get lib.tar.gz

    This file contains a small collection of fonts (TFM files only),
    (La)TeX macros, MF macros, and BibTeX files, enough to get
    started. The AMS fonts and macros are included.

    It unpacks into a directory named `texmf', which you will want in
    your equivalent of /usr/local/lib -- whatever you defined as your
    $(datadir) in the Makefiles.

    The organization of the archive was debated at great length. We hope
    it will be useful. If you don't like our organization, you should
    move the files around as you see fit, not forgetting to redefine the
    search paths and installation directories. The Makefiles,
    kpathsea/HIER, kpathsea/paths.h.in, and web2c/README (``Directory
    hierarchies'') have more tidbits of information.

    We advise unpacking this and deciding on your directory structure
    *before* doing the compilations.


For web2c:
- ---------

   Special thanks here to Karl Berry, Unix System Coordinator for TUG.
   He improves/develops/maintains web2c, modes.mf, dvipsk, and xdvik
   (and other things not mentioned in this file).  He also maintains
   pub/tex on ftp.cs.umb.edu, which is the originating location for all
   the files above and below.

        ftp> get web2c.tar.gz   [WEB-to-C source:
                                 unpacks into ./web2c-<version>]

   It is important to retrieve and unpack both web.tar.gz and web2c.tar.gz.
   They unbundle into a single directory called ./web2c-<version>.

   The web2c software converts the WEB source files (in which TeX,
   Metafont, & family are written) to C source.  The input and font
   files are needed to dump the format and base files required to run 
   plain TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont.

                 directory for newly-generated 300dpi write-black fonts.

                 The zip/unzip package is in

                 place these in $(fontdir)/public/cm/pk/ricoh.

                 If using MakeTeXPK to generate 300dpi write-white fonts, 
                 use $(fontdir)/tmp/pk/ricoh as the temporary destination 
                 directory for newly-generated 300dpi write-white fonts.]

        ftp> quit                       [end ftp session]

We believe this covers the retrieval of the essential files.  

Each of the three packages -- web2c, xdvik, dvipsk -- contains its own
installation instructions.  If you have never set up these programs before,
compile web2c first (that is to say, the material in both web.tar.gz and 
web2c.tar.gz, unpacked); begin by reading ./web2c-<version>/web2c/README
and ./web2c-<version>/web2c/INSTALL.  Remember to set up your texmf
directory hierarchy before embarking on your compilation (see "For a 
basic set of input files and fonts" above).

All installation processes require careful attention to detail, and knowledge 
of your system.  "Make haste slowly", and you improve your chances of success.


How to make web2c, dvipsk, and xdvik in a single make:
- -----------------------------------------------------
[Thanks to Martyn Johnson, Pierre MacKay, Jon Peatfield, and Andreas Schott
 for their notes.]

These three programs are not packaged together, because the latter two 
are updated fairly frequently.  But (thanks to Karl's work), the programs 
can be made in a single make:

        Extract the three archives so that the following directories
        are parallel to each other: 

                ./dvipsk-<version> 
                ./web2c-<version> 
                ./xdvik-<version>

        Next:

                mv dvipsk-<version>/dvipsk web2c-<version>

                mv xdvik-<version>/xdvik web2c-<version>
        
        ./web2c-<version> should now contain four subdirectories:
        dvipsk, kpathsea, web2c, and xdvik.

The files remaining in ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version> 
are identical in all three archives.  If you wish, you can now 
remove ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version>.  If you wish to 
retain the names and versions of the programs, you can create the 
following symbolic links:

        ln -s web2c-<version> dvipsk-<version>

        ln -s web2c-<version> xdvik-<version>

Be sure to read web2c-<version>/README, web2c-<version>/web2c/INSTALL,
web2c-<version>/dvipsk/INSTALL, and web2c-<version>/xdvik/INSTALL.

Make sure that you have completed the instructions in the section above
called "For a basic set of input files and fonts".

You are now ready to begin configuring and building the programs.

Subject: [comp.text.tex] Graph-TeX 1.0beta available via ftp
Keywords: figures, graphs, directed graphs, texdraw

                   Announcing Beta Release of Graph-TeX
                   ------------------------------------

Graph-TeX is a Perl script and library for typesetting directed and
undirected graphs.  It takes as input a .gt file which resembles an array
environment (it even more closely resembles the commutative diagram
environment of XY-pic).  Then it produces TeXdraw commands for inclusion
into an .tex file.

Complicated graphs can be quickly typeset producing high quality results.
Features include:

   - TeX labels well placed with respect to the labeled object.
   - Spade-like arrowheads which reduce the effect of postscript 
     inconsistencies (edge effects).
   - Bezier-curved edges and loops on which arrows and labels follow the 
     tangent.
   - Flexibility in redefining default attributes.

Graph-TeX was designed to support graphs possessing symmetries such as 
the Peterson graph or the Cayley graph of D_3.  In these, the vertex
positions are not so easily described within an array environment.  See 
the manual for more details.

                             --------------

To get the manual and source, ftp anonymously to ima.umn.edu, cd to
/pub/graphtex, and get graphtex1.0beta.tar.Z (in binary mode).  While I
am seeking beta testers to find bugs, I am also interested in people's
opinions about the aesthetic quality of the results.

             LaTeX2e -- Second Test Release Available

            Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team

                        14 February 1994


The second test release of LaTeX is now available.  Notes about this
release are at the end of this announcement.  The first release
revealed a few serious bugs and several other areas which need
attention.  Many people reported that documents and style files had
been processed by the new system without serious problems; this
includes one very important test -- the original text of `The LaTeX
Manual'!  We can also report that this release has been tested with
all the files in the LaTeX 2.09 test suite and produces only
predictable differences in the output.


First, here is the original announcement
- ----------------------------------------

LaTeX2e is the new standard version of LaTeX -- prepared and supported
by the LaTeX3 project team.  It is upwardly compatible with LaTeX 2.09
documents, but contains new features.

Over the years many extensions of LaTeX have been developed.  This is,
of course, a welcome development, since it shows that the LaTeX system
is in a healthy state.  It has, however, had one unfortunate
consequence: there are now several incompatible systems, in the sense
of format (.fmt) files, all claiming to be LaTeX.  Therefore, in order
to process documents coming from various places, a site maintainer
needs to provide several format files: LaTeX (with and without NFSS),
SLiTeX, AmSLaTeX, and so on.  In addition, when looking at a source
file it is not always clear for which format the document was written.

LaTeX2e puts an end to this unsatisfactory situation -- it will give
access to all such extensions based on a single format and thus end
the proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of LaTeX 2.09.

It uses an enhanced version (NFSS2) of the New Font Selection Scheme.
Files such as amstex.sty (formerly the AmSLaTeX format) or slides.sty
(formerly the SLiTeX format) will become extension packages, all
working with this single format.

The introduction of this new version will also make it possible to add
a small number of often-requested features (such as extended versions
of \newcommand).

To summarize:

 * Standardisation: a single format incorporating NFSS2, to replace
                 the present multiplicity of incompatible formats --
                 NFSS, lfonts, pslfonts, etc. 

*  Maintenance: a standardised system supported by a reliable
                 maintenance policy.


LaTeX2e adheres, as far as possible, to the following principles:

 * Unmodified version 2.09 document files can be processed with
   LaTeX2e.

 * All new features of LaTeX2e conform to the conventions of version
   2.09, making it as easy as possible for current users to learn to
   use them.

LaTeX2e is described in a new edition of `LaTeX: A Document Preparation
System' by Leslie Lamport (to appear during 1994) and `The LaTeX
Companion' by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, both published by
Addison-Wesley.

LaTeX2e will be distributed twice a year.  This distribution is a
preliminary test release, and doesn't contain all of the files that
will be part of the full release.  In particular, it does not contain
the planned extensions in the area of graphics inclusion.

The first full release will be available in Spring 1994.

This is a test release, so please get it and test it on as many
different systems as possible!


Getting the second test release
- -------------------------------
LaTeX2e can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from the CTAN archives:

   ftp.tex.ac.uk  /tex-archive/macros/latex2e/core
   ftp.shsu.edu   /tex-archive/macros/latex2e/core
   ftp.dante.de   /tex-archive/macros/latex2e/core


Bug reports
- -----------
Please report any problems with LaTeX2e by using the report-generating
program latexbug.tex, included in the LaTeX2e distribution.  Error
reports should be sent to the following e-mail address:

   latex-bugs@rus.uni-stuttgart.de


Help for style/package/class file maintainers
- ---------------------------------------------
We shall be producing a short document summarising the changes that
may be needed in order to turn a style file for old LaTeX into a class
or package file.  To get the latest information on this subject or to
report problems, please send a message to the following address:

   bugs@minnie.ZDV.Uni-Mainz.de

Please ensure that it starts with the following line *exactly*:

>Category: latex-class-writing

If you want a prompt and useful reply, please make your message as
short and precise as possible.


Notes on the second test release
- --------------------------------

- -- Only the straightforward bugs and the serious bugs found in the
   first release have been fixed; other problems are still being
   worked on.  Some of the reports uncovered features of the original
   LaTeX which some consider to be bugs; whether these should be
   `fixed' is not always clear.

- -- There are thus several areas, including things arising from bug
   reports, on which we are still working.

- -- The details of the distribution, unpacking etc are still under
   development.

- -- The details of the typography in the standard classes is not
   finalised.

- -- The precise functionality of the compatibility mode is not fixed.

- -- Still no graphics package!

Warning
- -------
If you have installed the first release then you must remove it
completely and start again.  This is because there are many small
differences, including new file names, and because the installation
procedure now behaves  differently.

Subject: web2c BIGTeX and METAFONT for DOS and Windows

DJ Delorie's port of GNU C (djgpp available from oak.oakland.edu in
pub/msdos/djgpp : be sure to get the dj111m1, m2 ,m3; and from simtel20
mirrors) make is straightforward to compile the web2c-6.1 on 386+ PC's
under DOS. Delorie's DOS extender will run under Windows 3.1, so the
EXEs can be used in a DOS Window. To save repeated effort in setting the
parameters, I have prepared "web2pc02.zip" which is available in the
web2c directory of CTAN. You need web2c-6.1 and web-6.1 as well.
CTAN directory: tex-archive/systems/unix/web2c
 
If your system uses the sbTeX direstory structure, you can avail of the
compiled versions of TeX and METAFONT contained in systems/msdos/sbtex/

Subject: dviljk 1.0, dvipsk 5.528a, and xdvik 1.7 available

I've released version 1.0 of dviljk, a modified version of
   Gustaf Neumann's dvi2xx driver (version 0.51a9) for HP LaserJet printers,
and also new versions of dvipsk
   (my modified version of Tom Rokicki's dvips)
and xdvik
   (ditto ditto Paul Vojta's xdvi).

You can get them by ftp:
      ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
Soon they should be on the ctan hosts as well, in tex-archive/dvi.

Aside from kpathsea-ification and Autoconf-ization, dviljk also supports
the LaserJet 4 builtin fonts (thanks to Norm Walsh, who built the actual
TeX TFM's from HP TFM's). (The alpha9 version of the original dvi2xx
also does so, and Eberhard Mattes' dvi-to-lj driver will probably do so
also in the near future, so you aren't stuck with my idiosyncratic
software just to use the builtin fonts.)

The external ls-R database below isn't optimal yet -- the list of font
directories still winds up being built, because of searches for
nonexistent vf files. I'll address this next time out.


Here's the NEWS for the other releases:

kpathsea 1.7
* Searches can use an externally-built ls-R ``database'', for speed.
* `VPATH = .' lines removed from generated Makefile, for broken Sun make.
* A path foo//tfm finds foo/tfm as well as foo/*/tfm.

xdvik 1.7 (1 March 1994)
* Use DEFAULT_FIG_PATH, instead of DEFAULT_TEX_PATH (they are the same
  by default, anyway). 
* EPS displays take the magnification into account (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
* EPS displays support the angle option from psfig 1.10 (thanks to Uwe Bon).
* The Metafont mode for MakeTeXPK can be set via the command line, an X
  resource, an environment variable, or at compile-time.
* Support for the SelFile widget (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
* XDVIFONTS only overrides font-related paths, not all paths.

dvipsk 5.528a
* DVIPSFONTS only overrides font-related paths.
* By default, append mode to MakeTeXPK installation directory.
* Update for dvips 5.528.

Subject: [comp.text.tex] Eddi4TeX 1.20 is ready

         Programpublication 'Eddi4TeX Version 1.2 dating 15.02.1994'

                Eddi4TeX - Editor and Shell for DOS and OS/2

(I am sorry for my poor english)

During german TeX-meeting DANTE '94 in Muenster I presented the new version
of my program. In the following the features are listed briefly:

- - the name is Eddi4TeX (say: Eddi-For-TeX) says a lot: an editor for working
  with TeX with an integrated development environment
- - windows, several texts at a time
- - float-text: the text is wrapped automatically and the resulting paragraph
  structure is saved in a TeX-fitting format, when loading a text, this
  information still exists, the fraying out of texts belongs to history
* within the text commands, comments, braces and environment-borders are
  stained to improve the readability of the text enormously
* Macros: macro-recorder, commandsequences, textblocks, interactivity,
  decision, jumps
* using OS/2 macros can pause until erxternal programs are terminated,
  the positioning of PM-Windows can be controlled, in the OS/2-version the
  640K-limit has fallen
* environmentvariable E4TOPT
* switching the menus and messages to english, an english version of the
  helpfiles will follow if YOU show your interest in the program
- - search, search&replace, go to line, sorting, color-adjustment, backupfiles
  temporaryfiles, screenprotector, ...
- - blockoperations for areas of text and columns of tables
- - online-helpsystem on the program (german only)
- - online-helpsystem including syntaxinformation on LaTeX (german only)
- - creating own helpfiles can be done comfortably using the included program
- - registrating any programs you want
- - analyse of the LOG-file, showing the errormessages, jumping to
  errorpositions, works also in files via \input, several errors
- - related braces are blinking
- - analysing braces without parnters
- - 30-pages manual as DVI-file (german only)
* shareware-fullversion

Changes on the installation description:

- - please check [Options/Register/Help/Change/LaTeX & TeX] when using DEMO.RES

- - trying to print the manual using publicTeX you have to copy some fonts to
  different names (lcirclew10)

Problems:

- - if you should have any problems installing or using the program please do
  NOT write public mails in any newsgroups, but try to contact me via e-mail
  personally

Availability:

- - in a few days the program should be available from ftp.dante.de in
  /pub/tex/systems/msdos/e4t under the name of E4T120.EXE

Subject: EuroTeX '94

Below I include an announcement about EuroTeX conference.
Would you be so kind as include it in the following
TeXhax issue.

============================================================================

Is North America too far / too expensive / too alien a culture?
Then come to EuroTeX '94, _the_ TeX conference of the year.
EuroTeX will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off
the coast of Gdansk in Poland.  The conference will run from Monday
September 26th to Friday September 30th, and the _maximum_ cost
(based on two persons sharing) will not exceed $260-00 / sterling
175-00 / DM 450-00.  Those arriving early on Monday will be able
to take part in a guided tour of the old town of Gdansk, whilst
Tuesday to Thursday will be jam-packed with talks and tutorials 
on TeX and related topics. 

All delegates will be accommodated in a single building, and for
the whole week will be cut off from civilisation: no
distractions, no need to leave the island: everything will be
provided.  For those unable to sustain the pace, quiet meditative
walks along the shore searching for amber will provide the ideal
opportunity for therapeutic meditation. 

Papers are solicited _now_, and early registration for the 
conference is advised: with its Central European location and 
idyllic setting, the conference is expected to attract many 
delegates.  If you are even _thinking_ of coming, then you are
urged to return the form below: we will then add you to the 
mailing list and keep you posted about any changes in the 
schedule.  Please note the following deadlines:

Abstracts for papers: no later than 1 May 1994;
Final papers: 15th August 1994;

Provisional registration: 1 June 1994 (no charge for cancellation);
Confirmed registration: 1 September 199 (cancellation charged at 50%);
Late registration: 15th September 1994 (no cancellation possible);

Bursaries: as with the combined EuroTeX/TUG meeting at Aston last year,
it is hoped to be able to offer financial assistance to delegates who
would otherwise be unable to attend; of course, we cannot be sure at
this stage that sponsors will be as generous as they were last year,
but intending delegates who will need assistance in order to be able to
attend should indicate in the space provided the _minimum_ bursary
which would allow them to be able to attend, and should give clear
reasons why they are applying.  All applications will be treated in the
strictest confidence.  Delegates who are in no need of a bursary and
who are able to assist others less fortunate are urged to pledge a
donation in the space provided. 

Tutorials and Courses: It is intended to offer both tutorials (which
will take place during the week of the conference proper), and courses
(which will take place during the week following the conference);
proposed topics include book design and LaTeX-2e, but no firm decisions
have yet been taken on topics, durations or costs.  Further details
concerning this area will be circulated as soon as they are known, and
space has been provided on the provisional registration form (below) in
which both to indicate an interest in tutorials/courses and to suggest
possible topics.
