Subject: patgen

Hi all,

I'm looking for patgen.web.  I found a man page, which says:
  Frank Liang wrote the first version of this program. Peter
  Breitenlohner made a substantial revision in 1991 for TeX 3.

I would like to download a copy of this latest version.  I can't, in fact,
find any version of patgen.web in the TeX archives.  Can anyone help me
please?  Thanks!

Subject: tableofcontents and index problem in AMSLaTeX

Dear La(TeX) users,

I use AMSLaTeX (\documentclass[11pt]{amsbook}) and have problem with
** tableofcontents **. I mean:
- - there is no hyphenation when the titles of chapters or (sub)section
  are long. e.g.:

  CONTENTS
  ....
  3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spherical cavity,
                       in a solid sphere and in a shell 30

but there should be

  3.2.4 The nucleus of thermoelastic strain in a space with a spheri-
        cal cavity, in a solid sphere and in a shell.................. 30

** Similar things happen when try to generate index **

- - there is no the "dots" like below
  3.2.1 Some title .................................................... 20

I have

  3.2.1 Some title                                                       20

instead.

Could someone suggest what is going on ?

When I use the 'book' class instead 'amsbook' the tableofcontents
and 'index' are nice but I would
prefer to use amsbook.

If would be so kind please send the answer to 'krupa@alpha.sggw.waw.pl'
because I have often trouble to access to the news so I could miss the
answer.

Best Regards

Jan Krupa

Subject: Upgrading to LaTeX(2e)

In the late 1980's I bought a TeX package (version 2.09).  I now need an
upgrade to LaTeX(2e).  I specifically need the style file epsfig.sty, but
upon examining it I noted that it needs a number of other files aswell.
Could you please advise me  where I can obtain this package (LaTeX(2e)
either commercially or by shareware.  I am not a TeXpert, so I would not
know hot to "upgrade," i. e., I probably would have to start with a brand
new TeX/LaTeX.

Thank you for your help!
