%>Your copy of bbding10 and mine seem to differ, at least in the first few
%>lines. The non-commented lines in my file start with:
%> mode_setup;
%> u#:=1/10pt#; %.1mm#;
%> define_pixels(u);
%>Your file lacks the second (u#:=...) line, and is apparently what caused all
%>of your diagnostics. There are some other lines that differ, too, but they
%>seem to be ones that are commented out. I wonder why there are different
%>versions floating around.
%>
%>Once I added the missing line to your file, it compiled like a charm.
There
%>seems to be no difference in the printout, especially \char'171 looks the same
%>in both versions.
%>
%>
%>> In the font I generated, \char'171 was definitely wrong. The tail

%>
%>I'm not at all sure that this character is wrong. How can you tell by looking
%>at it that the orientation is not correct? Is there some reason the arrow
%>should not have a tail on the topside rather than the bottomside? In any
%>case, turningcheck:=0; will not change the orientation.
%>
%>Rex
%>
I am totally perplexed by this! tex.ac.uk and ftp.tex.ac.uk have
slightly different versions of the file. All the hands were misformed
in my original, and \char121 was definitely unusable. The disk used to
produce its mid left margin was being *subtracted* rather than added.
Georg Knappen said that his version also gave errors. The only way of
knowing what is happening would be to do a file comparison between the
copy at ftp.tex and wherever yours came from---but then, the archives
are supposed to be mirroring one another.

Subject: LaTeX Styles ...
Do you know where I might find a LaTeX style for a Prentice-Hall Book.
I have looked in the obvious places at Aston and done a Gopher search
without any success, but one should exist.

Subject: \footnote in multicols{2} style.
Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me with this problem.
I am writing in multicols{2} style and on the first page of my article
I want to use \thanks{text} as part of the \maketitle.
Latex puts the {text} for the \thanks command right across the bottom
of the page but I want to restrict it to the width of the first
column of text.
That is, I want the \thanks to appear at the bottom of the first
column of text (i.e. as part of the first column of text but with a line
between the {text} and the rest of the stuff in the first column).
This is the style often used in journals that print two columns to a page
so someone must have done this.
An example follows below, where the \thanks runs accross the bottom of the
page.
Thanks in advance,
John.

Hello,
Is it possible to convert a file in T3 format to LaTeX format ? If there
exists a program that can do this, I would be very happy to hear about it.
TIA and Cheers,

Where are the .tfm files for the dc fonts kept? A good guess was
tex-archive/fonts/dc/tfm
but that doesn't exist (yet(hint)).

Subject: calendars
I've recently developped a set of macro and style files to typeset
agendas and calendars using TeX [TUGboat, vol. 4, n .1].
Some people are asking to me for an ftp site to get these files,
so I think you maybe will be interested.
The files I've sent are
1. calend0.tex
2. calend1.tex
3. sun.tex
4. moon.tex
5. feasts.tex
6. a5.sty
7. a6.sty
8. wall.sty
9. block.sty

These files have been installed in the (new) directory
[tex-archive.macros.plain.contrib.calendar] on TeX.ac.uk. They will be
copied to the daughter archive, ftp.tex.ac.uk, shortly, and also to
the other CTAN sites.
