You need library.sty, which replaces book.sty and has new sectioning
commands \subject, \volume, as well as the usual \part, \chapter, etc.

If nobody has written this already, try adapting book.sty yourself. If
neither book is \part ed, then \part=\book might be a good place to
start,

From:    David Beasley <David.Beasley@uk.ac.cardiff.computing-maths>
Subject: LaTeX makefile

I've no idea whether this has been done before, but I've produced a Unix
makefile which simplifies use of LaTeX and BibTeX. 
If people might be interested, I can make it available.

Subject: LaTeX \verbatim bug?

Does anyone recognize and have a solution/explanation for the
following LaTeX behaviour?

Input file:
- -------------------
\documentstyle{article}
\newcommand{\foo}[1]{#1} 
\begin{document}
\foo{
\begin{verbatim}
bar
\end{verbatim}}
\begin{verbatim}
baz
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}
- -------------------

LaTeX output:
- -------------------
This is TeX, C Version 2.93 (no format preloaded)
(test.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 <26 Apr 1988>
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/article.sty
Document Style `article' <16 Mar 88>.
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/art10.sty)) (test.aux)
! Extra \endgroup.
\end ...global \let \@gtempa \relax \fi \endgroup 
                                                  \@checkend {#1}\@gtempa \i...
l.10 \end{verbatim}
                   
? 
- -------------------

It works OK if the first "verbatim" structure is a "quote".

Our version of (La)TeX is on the old side, I know, but if there's
another way to solve this than upgrading I'd prefer that, as some
clients of ours have the same problem.

I don't subscribe to this list, so if you could send any responses
to dmc@cam.sri.com I'll post a summary. Thanks!

You can't use the verb command or the verbatim environment in the
argument of another command. That's a documented restriction. If you
want a variant of verbatim (like boxed verbatim) you might want to
look at my verbatim style option (available from all CTAN hosts under
macros/latex/distribs/verbatim).

I suggest you upgrade to LaTeX2e as soon as it is out (next month or
so).

Subject: RE: LaTeX .STY files for ISO standards

As well as the LaTeX style for ISO standards recently mentioned by Peter
Wilson, there is another one developed by us at the National Physical
Laboratory. This has been successfully used in several ISO standards in
the IT field. The latest version can be retrieved by sending an email
to info-server@seg.npl.co.uk with the following body:

Request: latex
Topic: iso.sty
Topic: iso9.sty
Topic: iso10.sty
Topic: iso.tex

Install the .sty files with your other LaTeX macros and then run latex on
iso.tex to get the user manual.

Subject: Help needed for other PostScript fonts

I am trying to used other PostScript fonts with TeX.  In 
particular Monotype's Imprint font.  I'm not quite sure exactly what
I have to do.  I've got the IMP.afm and the IMP.pfb files.  I've
tried converting these using afm2tfm and vptovf, as well as
vftovp, which gives lost of errors!  When I use DVIPS I get
'virtual recursion stack overflow'.  Perhaps I've got outofdate
versions of these programs (they were obtained about 3 years ago
from the Aston Archive).

I would be grateful for some help

Thank you

I have the complete Monotype set converted for use on my SUN, but I
must rely on others to tell me how to pack them up to send to you. I
assume they will work just as well as on the PC.

I will also need you to prove that you have the right to have the
copies from me. Ours were obtained under the CHEST deal. The best
way (and safest for me) is for you to arrange for suitable
authorisation to be sent to me.

The same rules will apply to anyone else reading this message.
