in theory, Dave is correct in saying don't use my sparctex kit; but
in fact the only `sparc' bit of it is a `bin` directory; remove the
contents of this, and re-run the Makefiles (all the source is in place,
ready to go), and hey presto you'll have solaristex.

Can anybody point me in the direction of a LaTeX style file

Subject: endash and minus
We all, as good TeXthetes, know about number ranges like 8--16,
hyphens---as in auto-hyphenation---and of course emdash.
We also know about minus numbers, and to type $-$5 or $-5$ and not
- -5, which looks plain silly.
But what on earth are we supposed to do when two of these things are
adjacent? The text $-5$--$-3$ looks ridiculous as a way of describing a
range of lines on a page, say, where there is an error. But why does it
look ridiculous? And what to do about it? To me, $-5$---$-3$ looks
slightly preferable, but leaving some space before the second minus sign
(and after the 5??) creates an inconsistency of style too --- unless
you habitually do this! $-5\cdots-3$ is mathematically incorrect, so
perhaps only $-5\ldots-3$ remains for a range of negative numbers,
again inconsistent with the positive case.

Subject: Query on EmTeX
Comments: (received via FAX)
I have been using EmTeX Version 3.0 3a to process my text, equations and
graphics for about a year with very satisfactory results. However,
recently when I try to print one of my files which contains 20 .PCX
graphics files (one .PCX file per page 121136 bytes each) using the usual
command
PRTHPLJ myfile
The pringing goes well up to the 11th page then an error message of
FATAL ERROR 2000: out of memory
encountered and the printing aborted.
My computer is a 486DX33 4mb ram and my printer is HP Laserjet II with 2.5
mb memory.
I would be most grateful if you could help me with this problem.

This is an extract from the emTeX help file:
2000: out of memory
There is not enough memory to run. Further information is given showing how
much memory was used by what. In some cases, this error can be prevented by
using +font-load-limit:-1.
Ask him for the further information. Does he have EMS or XMS memory on his
system? How much? How long is a piece of string?
He could always try printing in two passes: pages 1--10, then 11--20.

Subject: problems with afm2tfm
I have been trying to prepare a Garamond clone Type 1 PostScript
font for use with LaTeX. When I run afm2tfm I get the error
! kern char not found
KPX infinity a -19
^
Has anyone got a solution to this problem. What does the error
mean exactly?
On reading the Unix manpage there is reference to Adobe's Garamond
which has ``more characters internally than you can access directly''
and goes on to explain how to get access. Is my error connected
in some way?

**************************************
TeX Users Group 1993 Annual Meeting
Aston University, Birmingham, UK
July 26th -- 30th, 1993
**************************************
The committee of the TUG '93 conference would like to bring you up to
date with plans for this summer's big TeX meeting at Aston University,
Birmingham, UK. Booking forms were mailed to all TUG members in mid
March, and are now being sent to other user groups. Readers with
Internet access who have not received a form can fetch the file
"booking.tex" using ftp from directory pub/tug93 on ftp.TeX.ac.uk, or
may request it by email from tug93-enquiries@vax.rhbnc.ac.uk.
IMPORTANT NOTE: we want to encourage a wide participation in this
meeting from all over the world, but we recognize that some people
from countries in economic difficulty will have have problems
obtaining finance. We have therefore set up a bursary fund, to which
anyone can apply for funding to help their attendance at Tug'93. If
you want to come, send in a booking form with a request for financial
help. We will consider all requests at the end of May, and will reply
in the first week of June to inform people of our decisions. If in
doubt, contact us for advise on what we can help with.
The five magnificent days of TeX conference will include:
- A first day which includes an introduction TeX to newcomers; bring your
partner and get them to learn your obsession! Plus tutorials and special
sessions for experienced users.
- A day on typography and design, in conjunction with the DIDOT project.
- A detailed workshop on LaTeX3.
- A session on language and font issues.
- A session on TeX standards and the future developments of TeX and
related software.
- Discussions of TeX archives.
- A `problem-solving' panel.
- Birds-of-a-feather groups.
Invited speakers include Christina Thiele, the TUG president, the President
of the German TeX User Group, DANTE, and Boguslav Jackowski, the
winner of the `best paper' award at recent conferences in Prague and
Karlsruhe.
Some highlights from the accepted papers by speakers from around the world
are:
- The Khmer Script tamed by the Lion (of TeX): Yannis Haralambous
- Virtual fonts in a production environment: Michael Doob & Craig Platt
- Readability of math typesetting: David Murphy
- Russian TeX issues; Looking about and outlook: Irina A Makhovaya
- Beginners Guide to DSSSL: Martin Bryan
- A PostScript font installer written in TeX: Alan Jeffrey
- A versatile TeX device driver: Minato Kawaguti
- Typesetting Catalan TeXts with TeX: Gabriel Valiente Feruglio
- Bibliography Prettyprinting and Syntax Checking: Nelson Beebe
- Syntactic Sugar: Kees van der Laan
There is a full week of varied TeX courses both before and after
the conference proper, of which full details can be found on the
booking form.
Socially, we can promise delegates that there will be no dull moments
at TUG '93, with
- A half-day trip to Shakespeare country, ending with a performance of King
Lear by the Royal Shakespeare Company
- Evening trips to visit a Chocolate Experience or take part in a bowling
tournament
- A TeX-related competition with prizes
- Receptions and banquets
- The TeX Users Group annual general meeting
Booking forms returned by May 15th can save 15 pounds ($22.00), and guarantee
a place on the trip to Stratford-upon-Avon.
