I am writing a book with Latex and I would like to know how it is posible

I just noticed your post to TeXhax. Did you ever get a response? The
\bordermatrix macro in the Texbook will do just what you want. If you don't
have it I'll be glad to send it along.

Subject: Re: TeXhax Digest V96 #12
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?
Use ptmr (close to plain-compatible) or ptmr8q (Cork), which have the
usual quotes in the usual positions. Those are virtual fonts based on 8r.
I wouldn't call them tricks, exactly.
ptmr8r is close to Windows-compatible, for reasons explained in the
8r.enc source file. Its primary purpose is to make all characters
commonly present in Type 1 fonts available for typesetting (i.e., with
virtual fonts), not to be the One True Encoding for typesetting itself.
If you want to use 8r itself, then you'll have to make ` and ' active
and have them typeset the right character. You probably don't want to do this.

Subject: Memory question
Sorry if this is a FAQ or a newbie question, but I am in need of some
help. I have tried crawling the web pages but with little success...
I am running LaTeX2.09 (dated 9/1/90) under DOS. I am towards the end
of writing my thesis and am currently trying to compile it as one
document (rather than individual chapters) using \include
instructions. On first compilation it runs fine, and will continue
to compile on each subsequent compilation UNLESS I have run BibTeX
first. In this case, I can only get it to recompile if I instruct
"del *.aux" prior to recompilation - obviously not very satisfactory.
The number of different references is around 180 at present
(although there are many more \citeasnoun instructions).
The error message I am getting on recompiling after running BibTeX is
insufficient memory. On looking at the .log file it appears to be
"save size" that is crashing. After first compilation the memory
counter is "362s" and then on second compilation I get "601s ... out
of ... 600s". Other sections of memory appear to be fine.
I have tried to reduce the number of \citeasnoun, but this appears to
make no difference. If I edit my .aux file to manually remove about
50 of the 180 citations it will recompile with no problem.
Any ideas about what I should do to get it to recompile with no
crashes after running BibTeX? I would be very grateful if you would
email me direct with any potential solutions.
Thanking you in advance for your help.
Mark Freeman.

What lables need to be changed in local.h?

This was my reply:
I do not now have, nor ever have had such a site. I HAVE answered *many*
questions since spring about rtf2latex and latex2rtf, two programs that
others wrote. To find the flavor you need, look them up using a web browser.
Also, rtf2tex and tex2rtf probably exist. Find them by searching.
- -- I add this for this transmission: --
There seems to be a great deal of interest in converters to- and from-
Word (on many platforms). All I know about them is that the conversions
work as follows:
Word Doc. -> Word(Save As) -> RTF(text)Doc.-> rtf2latex -> LaTeX Doc. -> LaTeX
or
Latex Document -> latex2rtf -> Word(read and convert RTF) -> Word Document
Some TeX/LaTeX expert could provide a valuable service by setting up a
site dedicated to such converters. I am almost totally ignorant of the
issues; for me to become involved would be foolhardy. Please, would an
informed person step up to provide this service (a Converter Site)?

Subject: Announce: xtem X11-TeX-Menu 5.23
Dear xtem users,
We have finished the new version (xtem_TeXMenu.5.23) of
"xtem", an X11-TeX-menu
which runs with the new Tcl/Tk/TclX (Tcl7.5/ and Tcl7.6-beta1)
as well as with the old version (Tcl7.4).
In addition to adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk, we have done
errror corrections and added new features, such as:
- installation (and maintenance of the logfiles) is much easier with
the (new) installation procedure,
- (optional) logfile analyze after TeX run, you can then click at each
error message (incl. overfull/underfull boxes) in order to edit
the texfile at the corresponding position,
- "quick&dirty" button for quick TeXing and previewing of a small text
fragment (including preamble),
- the edit file can be selected from other directories than the main file,
- (optional) vertical scrollbars for the text widgets,
- revision of all bindings (conforming behaviour: actions are done
at button release),
- LaTeX syntax got it's own button now.
Most setting files from older versions of xtem may be kept unchanged:
- mkcommand.vst must be updated
- texfmt.vst should be updated to enable "quick&dirty"
- logform.vst one line concerning logfile analyze can/should be added
You will find all files on our file server:
http://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenu.html
or
ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu.5.23.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu_5eng.ps.gz
ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu_5ger.ps.gz
Here you may also find the sources: Tcl7.5, Tk4.1, TclX7.5.2
ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tcl7.4p2.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tk4.0p2.tar.g
ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tclX7.4a-p1.tar.gz
We have uploaded the new xtem version to the
neosoft server into "/pub/tcl/incoming/",
and it's already mirrored to the CTAN servers,
so you also may get all the material from
ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/NEW/xtem_*
and ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/xtem_texmenu/xtem.v5/*
and the other CTAN servers.
For those who don't know xtem_TeXMenu up to now, we give a short overview:
xtem provides for a simple and comfortable graphical user interface to control
the following facilities:
- file and directory selection, directory creation,
- editor (vi, emacs, ...) including additional windows for the
LaTeX-syntax (using hypertext) and examples,
- TeX, LaTeX, ...,
- previewer (ghostview, xdvi, TkDvi, ...),
- printing (including comfortable printer selection, ...),
- syntax and spelling check,
- makeindex,
- bibtex,
- additional programs as required,
.
.
.
Online help is available for all the buttons and windows by simple mouse click.
xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems.
Thanks,
Roland Weibezahn
