Subject: Determining the height of math objects

How can I determine the dimensions of objects in math mode?  I want to 
find, in particular, the height of any specified part of an equation.  For 
example in the latex example file below which of the values relates to the 
height of the stated formula and how can I read this   value  
it to set the height of another object?

Thanks 

Alastair Rough

Subject: conversion of BIDS ISI output to BibTeX 

Does anyone know if there is a Unix utility available anywhere to
convert the downloading format from the BIDS (Bath Information and
Data Services) Science Citation Index into .bib format ?  

Like many people, I keep my personal bibliographic database in .bib
format, and such a utility would therefore be most useful.

It would need to make some semi-intelligent guesses for changing from
the ISI's monocase to mixed case, but apart from that it would be
quite straightforward.

From:    "C.Davies" <cm1928@ccub.wlv.ac.uk>
Subject: dvips

I would like to upgrade my version of Tex to include  Postscript
graphics using dvips.
I have obtained a list of files from the Texserver relating to dvips using
`whereis  dvips'  but I am uncertain which files  I  require  to
transfer. 
Under  msdos  I  presume that the following two  files  would  be
needed
DISK$TEX:[TEX-ARCHIVE.SYSTEMS.MSDOS]DVIPS.EXE_VVE;2
DISK$TEX:[TEX-ARCHIVE.SYSTEMS.MSDOS.EMTEX.BONUS]DVIPS.ZIP_VVE;2
I would appreciate some advice.

Subject: LaTeX makefile

There were several enquiries about my LaTeX makefile, so a copy has now
been placed in the archives, along with a man page, in directory
/pub/archive/support/make_latex

Functionality of make_latex overlaps with an existing package,
latexMk.  Both perform essentially the same task (i.e. issuing all the
commands required to `compile' a latex document), however, each has a
some features which the other lacks. (Maybe someone would like to
integrate the two packages!)

Subject: Elsevier Science announces availability of ESP-LaTeX

Elsevier Science has the pleasure to announce the availability of their
ESP-LaTeX package from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), an
initiative of the TeX Users Group.

In order to assist authors in preparing their papers for articles published
by Elsevier Science Publishers in such a way that their files can be used to
print the article, we have developed a LaTeX package ESP-LaTeX, consisting of
a document style `espart' and a booklet with instructions to authors.

Authors are kindly requested to use the `espart' document style. This
document style, which produces a preprint-like output, enables the Publisher
to adapt the article to the layout and style of the journal in which the
article will appear (the Publisher will replaced `espart' by a
journal-specific production document style).

The ESP-LaTeX package contains the following files. Please make sure that
you retrieve all these files.

readme.esp      Brief instructions.
 
espart.sty      The main document style. Copy this to the directory
                where all other .sty files are.

espart12.sty    The pointsize-related definitions. Copy this to the
                directory where all other .sty files are.

The ESP-LaTeX package can be obtained using anonymous FTP from the
Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN):

host names:               CTAN directory:

ftp.shsu.edu              /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/elsevier

Questions concerning the LaTeX author-prepared article project and requests
for the booklet with instructions to authors should be directed to the
address on the inside cover of one of the journals participating in the
project.
