Amal:
Thank you for your advice on running METAFONT on the Macintosh.
I downloaded OzTeX and it is working very well for me. I had
been beating myself over the head with the Blue Sky version for
weeks trying to get it to work properly. You saved me a great
deal of time.
Cheers,
Tom

Subject: Matrices
I am trying to produce the following "labelled" matrix with latex:
B1 B2 B3
/ \
a1 | 8 10 4 |
A = a2 | 11 5 18 |
a3 | 27 6 18 |
\ /
I tried to use array/tabbing/tabular but am having trouble placing
the left and right large parentheses around the matrix but not the labels.
Any ideas would be most helpful.
Thanks,

Subject: T.V. Raman in the news
You might care to look at this just-appeared profile of TUGboat
author and TUG conference participant T. V. Raman:
@String{j-SCI-AMER = "Scientific American"}
@Article{Gibbs:1996:PVR,
author = "W. Wayt Gibbs",
title = "Profile: T. V. Raman: Envisioning Speech",
journal = j-SCI-AMER,
volume = "275",
number = "3",
pages = "52, 54",
month = nov,
year = "1996",
acknowledgement = ack-nhfb,
bibdate = "Mon Aug 19 08:48:09 1996",
.
Curiously, this article shows a single equation, which seems
to violate the Scientific American practice of eschewing
equations.

Subject: ANNOUCEMENT: Sauter-2.4
I have uploaded a new Sauter release to the CTAN archives in directory
tex-archive/fonts/cm/sauter24/
and it will propagate to the mirrors soon.
Attached is the release file.
J"org Knappen.
%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*
The release 2.4 of the Sauter tools to generate true sized fonts contains
the following news:
* Support for LaTeX2e 1996/06/01
* Fixes to cmcsc fonts
* Fix to the capital S in cmmi fonts
* Sauterised versions of AMS symbol fonts, bbm fonts and rsfs fonts
contributed by Hubert Holin
If you already have version 2.3 of the Sauter fonts, please regenerate
the cmcsc fonts for sizes => 10pt, there was a bug affecting the depth of
the letter `q'.
Please recalculate the cmmi fonts for sizes >12pt, the capital S will look
much better afterwards.
Send any questions, comments and suggestions to

Subject: single quotes using the times postscript fonts???
I have installed the times.sty package that uses
the psfonts courier, helvetica and times in LaTeX2e.
In the times font ptmr8r, the usual positions for
the left single quote "60 and for the right single
quote "27 contain instead of the symbols found in
the font cmr a symbol that looks like a grave accent
and a symbol that looks like a vertical prime,
respectively. How is one to get matched single quotes?
There is an older font rptmr that has the usual
single quotes in those positions. Is there
some way to use the font ptmr8r and still get the
usual single quotes, for example, by means of some
trick using virtual fonts and rptmr?
Thanks,
Robert

Subject: How do you get equal variable-sized delimiters?
In a LaTeX (I'm using LaTeX2e <1994/06/01> patch level 2) expression like
\begin{eqnarray}
\left<delimiter>
%some stuff
\right.\\
\left.
%some more stuff
\right<delimiter>
\end{eqnarray}
how do you ensure that the resulting <delimiter>'s are the same size?

Subject: Coversion of DVI file to ASCII File
Greetings to all,
Is there a way to convert a filename.dvi to its LaTeX source file (ASCII
file)? I am in a peculiar situation. I have the dvi version of a revised
file, but its revised LaTeX source file is missing?
Also, what is the meaning of ``dvi file is corrupt''? What are the
possible sources of this problem?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Subject: DEK in the news
The September 1996 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal has an editorial on p. 6
which begins:
It was a pleasant surprise to open the mail and read that Donald
Knuth, the author of the three-volume {\em The Art of Computer
Programming}, is the recipient of the Inamori Foundation's
1996 Kyoto Prize in the category of Advanced Technology.
Considering that a check for $460,000 accompanies his wall
plaque, Dr. Knuth is probably more pleased than I.
According to Kazuo Inamori, president of the Inamori Foundation
and chairman of Kyocera, Knuth was given Japan's highest
private award for his contributions to the betterment of
humankind. In addition to {\em The Art of Computer Programming},
Knuth (who was featured in an April 1996 DDJ interview) is
the creator of the TeX document-preparation system, Metafont
font-design system, and LR parser and attribute grammar.
TeX has been described as the most important achievement
in publishing since Gutenberg's moveable type.
Previous Kyoto Advanced Technology laureates include John
McCarthy of artificial-intelligence fame, and George Gray,
developer of the liquid-crystal display. Please join me
in hearty congratulations to Dr. Knuth.
