Subject: Directory searching by TeX

Hellow Tex Hackers,

Is there any way to tell "Tex" to search a current directory.
Thing is that when I run our "Tex" program (through Latex),
it did not search files in the current directory.
   --------			--------
So, I have to tell Tex all the complete path for the input files,
and there is a serious problem when "Tex" look for "AUX" file for the cross
reference,
because it could not find it even if the file was in the current directory
after the previous run.

It might be a flaw of our"Tex" program.
Perhaps, when it was created, search paths were passed on it,
but the current directory was omitted.
Is there any quick fix, or I have to install brand new Tex program ?

Thank you.

Subject: Two Columns for two "documents"

Dear TeXhax,
This may be common knowledge but not, I'm afraid, to me.
Is there a cls file or a package which enables one to generate a document
in which the pages are two columns over the whole document but the
contents of the two columns are basically two different source files?
I am thinking of, for example, a document and its translation to another
language or a document and a running commentry printed alongside and "in
step" with each other. The existing multicolumn methods are basically for
re-formatting a single continuous whole and I guess could be made to do
what I want but it would be tremendously inconvenient keeping things in
step.
Thanks in advance
Dave Cook

hello,
I am hoping that you might be able to help me with a TEX question. I am
sure this question has been asked before, but do you know how to create
bold lower case Greek letters in math mode?  I have done it before in
LATEX using \boldmath and \unboldmath but these commands are not
available in TEX.

thank you for your help

Subject: Writing to Files in Latex2e

     I would like to be able to write to a file within LateX2e, and can see
     nothing about this in the LaTeX Companion. I would prefer not to have
     to revert to the plain TeX commands \write and \shipout unless
     necessary.

     In particular, I'm writing macros for a problem sheet, and would like
     to use a format like

     \begin{question}
     What is the capital of UK?
     \end{question}
     \begin{solution}
     London
     \end{solution}

     \begin{question}
     What is the capital of Republic of Ireland?
     \end{question}
     \begin{solution}
     Dublin
     \end{solution}

     etc.

     Certain counters are incremented by the question environment, and I'd
     like to format the solution using these values before moving on the
     next question, but not print it there.  One way to do this would be to
     get the solution environment within test.tex to write to another file
     solution.tex or test.sol, and run LaTeX on this automatically produced
     file; or just to have the solutions written to the auxiliary file,
     like references, and cite them all at the end of document. Any
     suggestions on what would be a good solution and how to implement it
     would be much appreciated.

Subject: How to remove bitmap-ed cm fonts?

Dear all,

Is there any program which can remove bitmap-ed cm fonts
from PostScript files generated by dvips and add references to
type-1 outlines of cm fonts instead?

Thanks in advance,
Yarick.

Subject: notice regarding tex users group election

  This notice was sent by email on 5 April 1997 to all TUG members
  for whom TUG has email addresses.  If anyone reading this notice
  here is a member, but did not already receive a copy by email,
  please let us know by sending a message to  tug@mail.tug.org
  including your correct, preferred email address.  We intend to
  use email more frequently in the future to communicate with
  TUG members, and need your help to keep the records up to date.

	Notice regarding 1997 TeX Users Group election

The 1997 election for the TeX Users Group Board of Directors has
now ended. Since there were fewer nominated candidates than vacant
positions, in accordance with the Election Procedures, the candidates
who did submit nomination papers are declared elected.  No ballots
will be circulated.

The open positions, as announced, were President and six members
of the Board of Directors.

The following individuals will be taking positions on the Board
of Directors for 4-year terms ending in 2001:

    Donna Burnette
    Mimi Jett
    Patricia Monohon
    Arthur Ogawa
    Petr Sojka

In the absence of a ballot, the statements of candidacy which would
have appeared there will be published instead in TUGboat 18#1.

Four Board members whose terms were due to end in 1998 had agreed
that they would be willing for their terms to be extended to 1999
to accommodate a change in the election schedule from annually to
every two years (see the election announcement, TUGboat 17#3, p.240).
Had there been a ballot, their names would have been listed there
for confirmation by the membership.  However, in the absence of a
ballot, it is proposed that, in accordance with the Bylaws (Article
VII, Section 10), the incoming President confirm the extension
of their terms.  These Board members are:

    Barbara Beeton
    Karl Berry
    Judy Johnson
    Jiri Zlatuska

There is no candidate for TUG President.  This poses a problem.
Although the Bylaws and Election Procedures provide for the filling
of vacant Board positions by appointment, no provision exists for
the absence of a candidate for President.  There is not sufficient
time left before the annual meeting in July to solicit additional
candidates and circulate ballots.

In order to ensure that the necessary decisions are arrived at in
a democratic manner, and that the incoming Board has some say in
the matters which will affect them most directly, Michel Goossens,
the outgoing President, has appointed the new members to the Board
for a temporary period effective immediately, to expire when their
regular term begins.

It is proposed that individuals wishing to present themselves as
candidates for President do so in the following manner, with the
election be held during the annual TUG business meeting which will
take place during the TUG annual meeting in San Francisco
(July 28 - August 1).

Any TUG member in good standing who will be present at the annual
business meeting may submit a valid nomination form and supporting
statement (see the announcement in TUGboat 17#3 or the TUG Web pages,
http://www.tug.org) no later than Monday, July 28 (the first day
of the meeting), and be prepared to present his/her program at the
business meeting, (currently scheduled for Thursday, July 31).

(All TUG members are reminded that except for certain transactions
such as personnel matters, which legally are privileged, Board
meetings are open to members as observers.)  The Board meeting is
scheduled to be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27, at the main
meeting site; room details will be posted when available.  Candidates
for President are encouraged to attend.

Nomination forms and supporting documentation should be submitted to
the Elections Committee by one of two methods: (1) by July 15, sent
to the address below rather than to the address given in the TUGboat
announcement, or (2) July 26-28, brought to the meeting and delivered
in person to one of the undersigned committee members.  If sending
forms by mail or fax, please confirm this to the Committee at the
email address below; electronic copies of candidates' statements
may also be sent to this address any time before the meeting.

In order for this business to be transacted legally, at least 50 TUG
members must be present to form a quorum (Bylaws, Article III, Section 6).
It is therefore very important for members to attend this meeting, in order
to help define the future of our organization.
