Subject: modes 3.3 available

I have released version 3.3 of modes.mf.  You can get it by anonymous ftp from

	ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf
	ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/modes.mf

and shortly from any CTAN site in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.3.mf.
finger ctan@tug.org for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors.

News:

New mode for the LaserJet 5, various alias name and dpi corrections.

As always, thanks to the many contributors, and further additions and
improvements are welcome.  Please send bug reports or suggestions to
tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join).

General information:

modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's.  It also makes common
definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and
landscape mode.  It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the
original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c)
or rename the file and remove unneeded modes.  I don't understand mf.web
well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some
Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it.

If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
existing ones, please send them to me.  Improvements to the exposition,
particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome.

Subject: TeXsis 2.17 is now available

		     TeXsis Version 2.17 Released
		    ==============================

   The latest version the TeXsis macro package is now available,
either from CTAN:/macros/texsis or directly from the TeXsis ftp site
at ftp://lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu/texsis/.

   TeXsis is a Plain TeX macro package which provides useful features
for typesetting research papers and related documents, such as:

  * Automatic numbering of equations, figures, tables and references;

  * Simplified control of type sizes, line spacing, footnotes, running
    headlines and footlines, and tables of contents, figures and tables;

  * Specialized document formats for research papers, preprints and
    "e-prints," conference proceedings, theses, books, referee
    reports, letters, and memoranda;

  * Simplified means of constructing an index for a book or thesis;

  * Easy to use double column formatting;

  * Specialized environments for lists, theorems and proofs, centered
    or non-justified text, and listing computer code;

  * Specialized macros for easily constructing ruled tables;

TeXsis was originally developed for physicists, but others may
also find it useful.  It is completely compatible with Plain TeX.

				 ---

The most notable changes or additions to TeXsis in this version are:

 * All bug fixes from patches to TeXsis 2.16 are included in
   TeXsis 2.17 (they were all pretty minor).

 * Support for using BibTeX to extract references from bibliographic
   databases (it's easier to use than in LaTeX!).

 * The ability to change the colors in PostScript output, which is
   useful for making overhead transparencies.  (The style file
   color.txs is a functional superset of colordvi.sty, but also
   lets you push/pop the PostScript color stack.)

 * The less used form letter macros have been moved to a style file,
   Formletr.txs.

 * It is now possible to print an envelope for a letter, simply by
   adding \withEnvelope to the beginning of the manuscript file.

 * The internal format of the .aux file has been changed.  Users
   shouldn't notice this, but it will allow the use of tools and
   packages that use this file (such as BibTeX) that were formerly
   only available in LaTeX.

 * The manual has been improved.  The installation instructions have
   been slightly updated.  The Makefile has been updated to match the
   now common TeX Directory Structure.

 * Many other small additions and improvements.

Those of you who have been using the beta version of 2.17 in the past
few months will find little changed, except that the manual has
recently been updated to match earlier changes to the source code.

We plan on introducing macros for hyperTeX in a later release,
although some support already exists (but is not yet documented).

				 ---

  To make it easier for the casual reader of electronic preprints
("e-prints") to print a TeXsis document we have also put all of the
core TeXsis macros into one source file (called mtexsis.tex), with all
the comments and blank lines removed.  A reader who does not have
TeXsis on her/his system can then simply get this file, add "\input
mtexsis" to the manuscript file, and then process the paper with Plain
TeX.  You can make your own e-print manuscript files automatically
load mtexsis.tex if it is needed by adding the following line at the
beginning of the manuscript file:

	\ifx\undefined\TeXsis \input mtexsis.tex\fi

It is suggested that you try running such a manuscript through Plain TeX
with mtexsis.tex first to make sure that it works.

				 ---

   As always, comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcomed, and
can be sent to us at:  texsis@lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu.

   If you would like to join the TeXsis mailing list, just drop us an
e-mail note to that effect at the same address.

   If you received this message via the mailing list but do not want
to be on the list then just send us a note and we will take you off.
We only maintain the list to send out notices about TeXsis, we don't
give the list out to anybody else.

Subject: Tug'98: Final call for papers closes this week.

Dear Colleague -- A final reminder that the Call for Papers for TUG'98 closes
this week.  Papers received after 30th January are very unlikely to be
considered, so I urge anyone considering offering a paper or poster session
to communicate with the Programme Committee with maximum urgency.

The 1998 TeX User Group conference, TUG'98 will take place in Torun, Poland,
between 17th and 21st August 1998.  The theme of the conference is
"Integrating
TeX with the Surrounding World", and papers which specifically address that
theme will be most welcome, although papers on any topic which is relevant to
TeX, typography, and/or electronic publishing will be considered.  If you are
considering proposing a paper or offering a poster session, please be aware
that the last date for receipt of proposals is 30th January 1998.  Further
details are available from the TUG'98 web pages:

	http://www.tug.org/tug-98/                (general information)
	http://www.tug.org/tug-98/call.html       (call for papers)

If for any reason the TUG server is down, the same documents can be found at:

Philip Taylor,
Chairman: TUG'98 Programme Committee

P.S. Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message: it
is being sent to all known TeX-related lists, and many of you may well
be members of more than one such list.
