Subject: bitmap files
I have a client who wants to import bitmap graphics files
into a LaTeX document on a PC and print it on an HP Laser Jet
III or IV.
Is there a driver that will do it? If not, what do you suggest
he should do?

the machine has changed. ftp to ftp.tex.ac.uk, and do
cd ctan:
cd systems/msdos/emtex
and then get all the files in the directories disk1-disk6
dvips (dvi2ps is obsolete) is in systems/msdos/drivers/dvips
please come back to me with any problems

you use anonymous ftp to ftp.tex.ac.uk, go to pub/archive/systems/vms
and get 00readme.vmstex to read

MetaPost exists, Unix only at present. If you are nice to them, AT&T
will let you have a copy under a free license (for educational use and
not to pass on). Contact the author, John Hobby

From: Stephen Miller <stephen@vax.oxford.ac.uk>
Subject: Plain TeX footnote problem
I use Plain TeX (as it suits what I do...) and I have the following code for
doing footnotes:
%
%Setup font for footnote numbers both in text and in footnotes
%
\font\footnotenumberfont=agarexpreg at 7pt
%
%Remember: using here small cap figures not correct superscripted figures
%
%
%Raise footnote numbers 1.25 x-height
%
\def\superscript#1{\raise1.25ex\hbox{\footnotenumberfont#1}}
%
%Setup roman font for footnote text
%
\font\footnotetext=agarreg at 8pt
%
%Footnote macro
%
\def\fn#1{\global\advance\footnotenumber by 1
\footnote{\superscript{{\/\the\footnotenumber}}}{\footnotetext#1}}
This suits (for now) -- but I cannot figure how to alter the baselineskip.
Any help appreciated.

Would it be possible for this to be extended to include the AMS fonts?
It's a royal pain trying to build these for OzTeX (I still haven't worked
out how to do it for my environment) and they must be one of the first
extras most users would want.

Can anyone tell me where to find shortvrb.sty so that I can run the
