From: "Massimo Pinto" <pinto@graylab.ac.uk>
Subject: paper submission format

Dear collegues,

I have got to send a paper to a journal, and they need it with the figures
all at the end, after the text, each in a single page, and the captions
grouped together in a different page. Tables also have to be put at the end
of the journal, all together, but they are printed with their caption.

One way to produce such a format from the one in which the paper will
appear is to move all the figures to the end, same for the tables, and move
captions accordingly. Does anyone know an easier way, for example using
some options in the article style?

I use LaTeX2e from the MiKTeX distribution.

Thanks,

Massimo

Subject: ANNOUNCE:  version 22 of xdvi

		ANNOUNCING xdvi version 22

This is to announce that version 22 of xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files
under the X Window System, has been released.  It is available via anonymous
ftp from the X Consortium ftp site,

	ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/xdvi-22.tar.gz

from CTAN sites

	ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz

and from a mirror site for any of the above.

Version 22 of xdvi makes the following changes from version 21:

    o	Support for Motif.
    o	Support for displays with more than one visual, and a -noinstall
	command line option to disable it.
    o	Support for installing a private colormap (-install command line
	option).
    o	Configuration via a script generated by a modified GNU autoconf.
    o	An option to select the "x11alpha" driver when using Ghostscript
	to display PostScript specials.
    o	Dimension arguments may now be given in terms of any of the TeX units
	(pt, pc, in, bp, cm, mm, dd, cc, or sp).
    o	XDVISIZES values may now be of the form m0, m0.5, etc., signifying
	magsteps.
    o	Handle rotated bounding boxes correctly when not showing PostScript.
    o	Allow the shrink factor to be automatically selected on the command
	line.
    o	Change -hushspecials to -warnspecials, and suppress warnings about
	undefined specials by default.

A more detailed list of the changes is available at the xdvi web page,

	http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html

There is also a version of xdvi, called xdvik, that incorporates Karl Berry's
kpathsea library for path searching.  In addition, xdvik supports hypertex
support and support for Omega.  Version numbers of xdvik track those
of xdvi, and version 22 of xdvik is now also available.  It is available
from CTAN and mirrors (but not ftp.x.org and mirrors) in
/tex-archive/dviware/xdvik.  For more details, see the xdvik web page,

	http://www.math.uio.no/~janl/xdvi/
