In TeX you can measure objects once you have placed them in a box. Here is
one approach.

On this, I wonder if it is possible to ask style authors to
try not to use too many LaTeX-isms.
I use TeX but also bibtex, by exploiting Karl Berry's and Oren
Patashnik's btxmac (hacked slightly). These macros successfully deal
with the four standard styles, and I have modified some others to work
with the btxmac macros, but it would be nice if more styles were
allowed.

Subject: macmakeindex
i've fetched .../systems/mac/macmakeindex.sit from the archive, first
taking its extension at face-value and using binary mode, then aassuming
it was binhex coded and using ascii mode. and i've tried to install it
on my mac, trying all possible assumptions about the file format at that
end. in all cases, stuffit has reported a crc error and an unexpected
end of file. does anyone know where i can get an ok, preferably
binhexed, version of this? there is no indication of its provenance
that i could see in the archive. (they don't seem to have it at hensa.)

Subject: Conversion to TeX
I have a TeX file and wish to include the following LaTeX code.
{\scriptsize\raisebox{.6ex}{c}\kern-.01em\raisebox{.3ex}{/}{o}}%
What is the equivalent TeX code for scriptsize and raisebox
I assume I can use
\font\myscript=cmr10 at 7truept
since art10.sty shows scriptsize to be 7 on 8 pt but I do not know
the easy answer for raisebox.
From latex.tex
\def\raisebox#1{\@ifnextchar[{\@argrsbox{#1}}{\@rsbox{#1}}}
\def\@argrsbox#1[#2]{%
\@ifnextchar[{\@iirsbox{#1}[#2]}{\@irsbox{#1}[#2]}}
\long\def\@rsbox#1#2{\leavevmode\hbox{\raise #1\hbox{#2}}}
\long\def\@irsbox#1[#2]#3{\setbox\@tempboxa \hbox
{\raise #1\hbox{#3}}\ht\@tempboxa#2\leavevmode\box\@tempboxa}
\long\def\@iirsbox#1[#2][#3]#4{\setbox\@tempboxa \hbox
{\raise #1\hbox{#4}}\ht\@tempboxa#2\dp\@tempboxa#3\leavevmode\box\@tempboxa}
I did try just dropping the code into the TeX file but
/work2/uktug$ tex expenses
This is TeX, Version 3.141 (C version d)
(expenses.tex
! Use of \@ doesn't match its definition.
\raisebox #1->\@if
nextchar[{\@argrsbox{#1}}{\@rsbox{#1}}
\PeterAbbott ... \cr &&{\myscript \raisebox {.6ex}
{c}\kern -.01em\raisebox {...
l.124 \PeterAbbott
I think that LaTeX only allows \@ in .sty files.
I'm now stuck as what to do next.

my gut says to enclose this stuff in
\makeatletter
..
\makeatother
it is not that \@ is disallowed, but that
\@if is seen as \@ followed by if. making @ a letter
makes it see \@if, which might work.
your analysis was right, you just had to take it further.

mimic the effect of being in a .sty file by changing the catcode of @
- - see definition of \makeatletter in latex.tex

if \makeatletter was defined in plain TeX, Malcolm would be right.
however, Peter will have to replicate that as well

Subject: JORS BibTeX style files
Do you know where I can get a hold of a BibTeX style file that uses
superscripts for bibliography references? This is the format of the
Journal of the Operational Research Society and I'm certain that someone
must have solved this by now. I've been able to look at the BibTeX
archives on ftp.tex.ac.uk but I cannot tell what features come with what
.bst file.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this. If you don't have time to
answer this yourself please pass it along to the UK TeX group.
Thanks again,

Subject: modes.mf 1.1 available
I have released version 1.1 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf
You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
file server if you cannot ftp: email fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of
`sendme modes'.
This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and
landscape mode.
The mode for the HP LaserJet 4 has completely new values, from
mbr@research.nj.nec.com; his seemed better tested than previous.
The IBM 4019 is now a separate mode from the IBM 4216.
This version again runs through TeX.
As always, thanks to the contributors.
If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition,
particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome.
