-1A) Improved coordinate system etc.
-
-  The file Frédéric posted PMN recently
-
-
-1B) table of contents / outline (code by Fred Labrosse / Peter Münster)
-
-  PMN ideas for functionality would be as follow:
-  - \overviewslide produces an overview slide
-  - \section, \subsection, \subsection add entries to the overview
-    and present the current entry with the command
-    \overviewcurrent{level}{text}
-
-  From Fred Labrosse <ffl@aber.ac.uk>: You can find a suitable style at
-  http://pmrb.free.fr/prosper/. 
-
-  Discussion on functionality by Fred Labrosse and Peter Münster
-    
-  From Fred Labrosse
-
-    Dear all,
-    
-    I am currently trying to produce a way to automatically generate outline
-    pages.  I obviously had a look at what Peter Münster did in his
-    PPRpmsout.sty and I think I now understand it.  I was wondering whether his
-    approach is "better" than the original one in slidesec.sty (obviously,
-    "better" needs to be defined ;-).  Peter has ONE command (\pmsec) that adds
-    its argument to a list of headings AND generates the outline page with all
-    the headings, the crosses, and the tick.  The original slidesec.sty
-    separates these two steps; one command adds its argument to the list of
-    headings and another command generates the outline page with all the
-    headings, the crosses, and the tick.
-    
-    I was also wondering whether there could be a starred version of the slide
-    environment that would add its title to the list of headings.
-    
-    In order for what I will do to be as useful as possible, I would like to
-    know what YOU think is the best.
-    
-    Cheers,
-    
-    Fred
-
-  Answer from Peter Münster
-
-    Of course it's better to have flexibility. Consider \pmsec just as
-    a personal hack, to hide the difficulties with the counters and
-    the bookmarks in the style file. It would be better to have some
-    custom commands for
-
-    * adding headings;
-    * making a slide with the outline;
-    * robust mechanism for subheadings (or simply the slidetitles like
-      in pmsout). 
-    * ...
-    
-    And the good place for all this is not the style file in my
-    opinion. Those commands should be defined in the class-file and in
-    the style file there should be some more possibilities to define
-    different styles (for the title-slide, outline and other for
-    example).  
-
-    Cheers, Peter

-  A later mail (Thu, 21 Mar 2002 15:35:03 +0100) by Jean-Charles
-  Bagneris (jcb@mnet.fr)
-
-     Hi there,
-     
-     I am trying to figure out a way to have nested bookmarks in the pdf
-     slideshow - because prosper is great, but I really miss *structure* for my
-     slideshows (section, subsection etc.)
-     
-     Diving in prosper.sty, I can not see any convenient way to do so, except
-     ugly hacks of the code.
-     
-     1. Did I miss something about structure, bookmarks, ...
-     2. Where do I find information about all the macros driving pdf rendering,
-     such as \pdfmark and so on ?
-     
-     Thanks a lot !
-
-
-1C) pdflatex Support
-  see 
-  - page by Dekel Tsur (http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/)
-  - mail ``[Prosper-users] Re: pdflatex and LyX'' by Bas Spitters
-
-  Also, there has been a bug report on SourceForge concerning
-  pdf-latex:
-    
-    Later version Prosper with pdf-latex
-      
-    The result of building prosper-slides with latex is ok, but if I
-    try to use pdflatex [pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d] the
-    slides are shifted to the right and there are no colors, no
-    centered environments, no background, no images, etc
-    
-    What's wrong? 
-    
-    I tried to make it in the same way as in the slides-examples found
-    on prosper.sourceforge.net -> examples.
-    
-    here some version numbers:
-    - pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d 
-    - TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159 
-    - CVSId: $Id: TODO,v 1.6 2002/08/05 14:47:04 turtleturtle Exp $ 
-    
-    I'm using teTex 1.0.7  
-
-
-1D) Macro Names Should Not Appear in Slide Title
-
-  The problem is that command names, e.g., \texttt show up in the
-  description giving in the PDF outline.  In some few occasions, most
-  notable greek letters, that might be convenient, but most of the
-  time it is a pain in the butt
-
-  From Brian Elmegaard
-
-    See the \texordfdstring macro on page 44 of 
-    http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/tutorial/pdfmarks/hyper.pdf
-    
-  From Peter Münster
-
-    I remember having encountered similar problems. My solution (it's
-    also in http://pmrb.free.fr/prosper/PPRpmsout.sty):
-
-      \renewcommand{\@addBookmarkOnSlide}[1]{\pdfbookmark[1]{#1}{bm\theslide}}
-
-    In fact, the construction in prosper.cls was too complicated for
-    me.  When you use the \pdfbookmark command, then not only
-    \texorpdfstring but also the command
-    "\pdfstringdefDisableCommands" should work. An example for the
-    second one can be found in
-    http://pmrb.free.fr/prosper/mylayout.sty.
-
-  Related to this is the following bug report on SourceForge
-
-    [ 501698 ] dashes and such in bookmarks
-      
-    This is not a serious bug but it's a bit annoying. 
-    
-    The bookmarks of the pdf-file are created from the headings of the
-    slides. Good. When I use something like '--' or \texttt{...} in
-    the headings, this is put like plaintext into the bookmarks
-    too. Ok, for the dashes that's not a real problem, but the 'exttt'
-    that appeares in between the text is annoying.
-
-
-1E) Enumerate always produces the numbers in black.
-
-  Fred Labrosse reported the bug and provided the following patch:
-
-    \def\enumerate{%
-      \ifnum \@enumdepth >\thr@@\@toodeep\else
-        \advance\@enumdepth\@ne
-        \edef\@enumctr{enum\romannumeral\the\@enumdepth}%
-          \expandafter
-          \list
-            \csname label\@enumctr\endcsname
-            {\usecounter\@enumctr\def\makelabel##1{\hss\llap{\fontText ##1}}}%
-      \fi}
-    \let\endenumerate =\endlist
-
-    \newcommand{\startFontText}{%
-      \ifinColor\@fontTextColor\else\@fontTextBW\fi\selectfont}
-    \renewcommand*{\descriptionlabel}[1]{\hspace\labelsep
-                                    \startFontText\bfseries #1}
-    
-  It appear to be a general problem that a number of commands does not
-  respect the color setting.  Before patching all the commands, we
-  should ensure that it does not have to do with the fact that we are
-  not using color.
-
-
-1F) Auctex style
-
-  Developed and mailed on the mailing list.  Furthermore, PMN has some
-  possible additions.
-
-
-1G) Compatibility with color
-
-  The following is provided by David C Sterratt (after discussions
-  with PMN)
-
-    \makeatletter
-    \AtBeginDocument{\ifinColor\@fontTextColor\else\@fontTextBW\fi}
-    \makeatother
-    
-    \documentclass[...]{prosper}
-    
-    \makeatletter
-    \AtBeginDocument{\global\let\reset@color=\orig@reset@color}
-    \makeatother
-
-  Furthermore, semcolor should be asked to load color instead of
-  pstricks.  That might turn out to be the tricky part.
-
-1H) Compatibility with listing 
-
-  There are some incompatibilities with the listing package, Fred
-  Labrosse seems to know what is needed.
-
-  The bug has also been reported on SourceForge as
-
-    [ 542507 ] Error with listing.sty
-      
-    When I try to use listings.sty version 1.0 with prosper, I get an
-    error:
-
-    (c:/TeX/texmf/tex/latex/prosper/prosper.cls 
-    Document Class: prosper 2000/11/02, v. 1.0h 
-    [...] 
-    ! Missing \endcsname inserted. 
-    <to be read again> 
-    \unhbox 
-    l.11 \lstinline| 
-    Protokoll| 
-
-    The used example: 
-
-    \documentclass[frames,ps]{prosper} 
-    \usepackage{listings}[2002/04/01 1.0]%Fehler 
-    \lstset{language=[R/3 4.6C]{ABAP}} 
-    % ----------------------------------------------------- 
-    \begin{document} 
-    \begin{slide}{Klassenansatz} 
-    \lstinline|Protokoll| 
-    \end{slide} 
-    \end{document} 
-    
-    With version 0.21 (listing.sty) it worked fine. 
-    
-    I informed Carsten Heinz (author of listings.sty) about the
-    problem.
-    
-    Any idea from here how to solve the problem?
-
-
-1I) Handling of long slide titles
-
-  On Tue, 2 Jul 2002 10:00:56 -0700 (PDT), "Markus, Janos"
-  <markusja@ece.orst.edu> reported
-
-    have another question - when a slide title goes on to the next line,
-    instead of the whole title going being shown, the whole title shifts
-    upwards a little - as a result the first line of the title gets
-    partially obscured - is there any way to fix this?
-
-  and later provided the following solution
-    
-    Look into the style file you use (PPRxxxx.sty).
-    
-    There is the following definition:
-    
-    \def\slidetitle#1{\rput[lb](0.3,3.8){%
-        \parbox{10cm}{\fontTitle{\baselineskip=0pt #1}}}}
-    
-    You might want to rename the style file (e.g. to mystyle.sty) and then
-    modify the optional parameters of \rput. After thet, you have to modify
-    the coordinates, too.
-    
-    Opt. parameters of \rput (refer to the pstricks manual)
-    
-    l reference-point on the left side
-    r right side
-    t top
-    b bottom
-    B baseline
-    
-    So, [lt] will set the reference-point of the title in the left upper
-    corner, so if the size of the box changes, it won't move up. Accordingly,
-    you have to modify the initial coordinates.
-    
-    E.g. if you want to have your title not to shift up (the coordinates are
-    not adjusted exactly):
-    
-    \def\slidetitle#1{\rput[lt](0.3,4){%
-        \parbox{10cm}{\fontTitle{\baselineskip=0pt #1}}}}
-  
-  
-1J) Patches to PPRdarkblue
-
-  Martin Bernreuther <Martin.Bernreuther@po.uni-stuttgart.de> reported
-  the following on Wed, 10 Jul 2002 12:37:30 +0200
-
-    Looking at
-    PPRdarkblue.sty (line 93f):
-    
-    \ifinColor
-    \myitem{1}{\includegraphics[width=.4cm]{red-bullet-on-blue.ps}}
-    \myitem{2}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{green-bullet-on-blue.ps}}
-    \myitem{3}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{yellow-bullet-on-blue.ps}}
-    \else
-    \myitem{1}{\includegraphics[width=.4cm]{red-bullet-on-white.ps}}
-    \myitem{2}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{green-bullet-on-white.ps}}
-    \myitem{3}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{yellow-bullet-on-white.ps}}
-    \fi
-    
-    IMHO line 93 should be
-    \ifcolorBG
-    rather than
-    \ifinColor
-    
-    If you choose slideColor combined with nocolorBG you will
-    see bullets with blue instead of white background in the
-    first case.
-    
-    There is still a problem with the combination
-    colorBG and slideBW, since the background is processed
-    like nocolorBG but the flag is set to colorBG.
-    Maybe slideBW should also set \colorBGfalse in prosper.cls
-    or the background should be colored in this case.
-    
-    
-    Is there a possibility to use images with transparent background?
-    I always adjust the background of my images to the background,
-    which is some work and has to be redone if the position changes.
-
-  Is something similar needed to the other style files.
-
-
-1K) \slideparskip (or \parskip)
-
-  The following two bug reports are from SourceForge
-
-  \slideparskip ignored:
-    To globally set the parskip, you are supposed to 
-    redefine \slideparskip with the seminar class. 
-    
-    This doesn't work with prosper. 
-    
-    It seems that the minpage environment resets the 
-    parskip value. I fixed this by inserting 
-    
-    \sem@ptsize{\slide@ptsize} 
-    
-    at 3 places in prosper.cls, after the lines 
-    \ifinColor\@fontTextColor\else\@fontTextBW\fi 
-    
-    in SlideNormal and SlideOverlay. 
-    
-  Unable to set parskip globally:
-    Since the slides are set in a minipage, the values of 
-    \parskip and \parindent (as well as some other 
-    parameters) are reset to zero on every slide. 
-    Effectively, there is no way to control the paragraph 
-    distance globally. 
-    
-    One option would be to ``borrow'' the \slideparskip, 
-    \slideparindent, etc from the underlying seminar class 
-    and set the values of \parskip, etc to these values 
-    after opening the minipage 
-
-  Another bug fix is by Joe B. Wells:
-
-    % The following looniness makes Prosper pay attention to
-    % \slideparskip.
-    \newcommand{\Glork}[2][R]
-      {\Gleep[#1]{#2}%
-       \setlength{\parskip}{\slideparskip}}
-    \let\origSlideNormal=\SlideNormal
-    \renewcommand{\SlideNormal}
-      {\let\Gleep=\origSlideNormal
-       \Glork}
-    \let\slide=\SlideNormal
-    \let\origSlideOverlay=\SlideOverlay
-    \renewcommand{\SlideOverlay}
-      {\let\Gleep=\origSlideOverlay
-       \Glork}
-     
-
-1L) Font encoding on title slide  
-
-  From a bug report on SourceForge
-
-    There is a problem with font encodings on the title 
-    slide: My `umlaut's get lost in title, institution, 
-    etc. 
-    
-    This seems to come from the \normalfont call in 
-    \maketitle which seems to get confused. I managed to 
-    work around this by putting a 
-    
-    \renewcommand{\familydefault}{...} 
-    
-    in my PPR file.  
-
-
-1M) \label in overlays
-
-  From Marco Lombardi at SourceForge:
-
-  \label ouside overlays 
-
-    Apperently, \label and related macros are not working if overlays
-    are not active. I am not totally sure why is this happening. In
-    any case I have modified the definition of \label into
-    
-    \def\label#1{% 
-    \ifInOverlays 
-    \ifnum\value{overlaysCount}>1 
-    \else 
-    \Label{#1} 
-    \fi 
-    \else 
-    \Label{#1} 
-    \fi 
-    } 
-    
-    thus adding a new \else block at the end. I guess that a similar
-    change is neede for \label@in@display (and perhaps for other
-    macros).
-
-
-1N) Frames style: up-and-down movement
-
-  The following has been reported on SourceForge:
-
-    When using the "frames" style, the title vertical position is
-    referenced to the lower edge of the bounding box rather than to
-    the baseline. This results in the titles moving up and down
-    depending on whether there are descenders or not.
-    
-    Solution: Anchor a \makebox{} using it's baseline (can't use a
-    parbox, since they don't have baselines):
-    
-    \newcommand{\slidetitle}[1]{% 
-    \rput[rB](11.6,3.6){% 
-    \makebox{\fontTitle{#1}}}} 
-
-
-1O) Logo Placement
-
-  From SourceForge
-
-    [ 513255 ] Logo Placement
-    
-    When you try to include a logo, either with Logo(,){} or with
-    defining a new style:
-    - the logo never appears anywhere else but in the downleft corner
-      (no matter the coordinates you give)
-    - the whole slide loses, at the right hand side, space equal to
-      the width of the included Logo
-    I include my logo with \resizebox{x}{x}{\includegraphics}  
-
-
-1P) Title disappears in darkblue w/ slideBW
-
-  From SourceForge
-
-    [ 520709 ] Title disappears in darkblue w/ slideBW
-      
-    When using the darkblue style, and attempting to make printable
-    slides (using slideBW), the first-slide title seems to be
-    gone. The reason is that the title font is white, and when using
-    slideBW the background of the first slide is white as well. The
-    title actually appears, but is invisible.
-    
-    The solution is to make title text for slideBW, by the following
-    change in PPRdarkblue.sty.
-    
-    What was before 
-    
-    \FontTitle{% 
-    \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% 
-    \lightgray}{% 
-    \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% 
-    \white} 
-    
-    is changed to 
-    
-    \ifinColor 
-    \FontTitle{% 
-    \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% 
-    \lightgray}{% 
-    \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% 
-    \white} 
-    \else 
-    \FontTitle{% 
-    \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont}{% 
-    \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont} 
-    \fi 
-
-
-1Q) ifInOverlays value not set to false
-
-  From SourceForge
-
-    [ 557345 ] ifInOverlays value not set to false
-      
-    The overlay command does not appear to set the 
-    ifInOverlays value back to false after the overlays in 
-    version 1.00.4. This causes the \stepcounter and 
-    \refstepcounter commands to not increment the counter. 
-    I propose the line "\InOverlaysfalse" should be added 
-    just before the final "}" and after the "\fi" in the 
-    definition of overlays. This appears to fix the problem.  
-
-
-1R) parentheses in bookmark string
- 
-  Reported on SourceForge:
-
-    [ 582610 ] parentheses in bookmark string
-      
-    Unbalanced parentheses in bookmark string cause troubles. The
-    uploaded patch will fix the problem.
-
-
-1S) Title placement depends on title text
-
-  Reported by spizkapa on SourceForge:
-
-    [ 583840 ] Title placement depends on title text
-      
-    I think I've found a bug in the code. If one makes two slides one
-    with title "hello" and one with title "go home", the first slide
-    title will be placed higher than the second one. This is due to
-    the letter 'g' hanging off the bottom of the line. It may not be a
-    big problem for A4 slides but if you enlarge them (with psresize
-    or poster) the difference if more obvious.
-    
-    The obvious solution is to use \vspace{-xxpt} to bring the titles
-    to the same level. This may be implementable generically in the
-    package but I'm unsure how one would go about it.
-
-1T) Automatic counting of number of overlays
-
-  Joe B. Wells has provided the following patch which determines the
-  number of overlays needed from the \fromSlide, \onlySlide, and
-  \untilSlide on the slide:
-
-    \newcounter{currentOverlay}
-    \newcounter{maxOverlay}
-    
-    % \recordOverlay{n} tells \overlayslide that overlay n exists.
-    
-    \newcommand{\recordOverlay}[1]
-      {\ifnum #1>\value{maxOverlay}\relax
-         \setcounter{maxOverlay}{#1}%
-       \fi}
-    
-    % All material after \step appears on the next and subsequent
-    % overlays.  This also tells \overlayslide that the overlays exist.
-    
-    \newcommand{\step}
-      {\StepCounter{currentOverlay}%
-       \recordOverlay{\value{currentOverlay}}%
-       \FromSlide{\thecurrentOverlay}}
-    
-    % This command should probably not exist.  Don't use it.  Just write
-    % \step\item where needed.
-    
-    \newcommand{\stepitem}{\step\item}
-    
-    % All material after \FromOverlay{n} (until the next such command)
-    % will appear on overlay n and all later overlays.  This also tells
-    % \overlayslide that overlay n exists.
-    
-    \newcommand{\FromOverlay}[1]{\recordOverlay{#1}\FromSlide{#1}}
-    
-    % \overlayslide{XYZ}{...} is like doing
-    % \overlays{n}{\begin{slide}{XYZ}...\end{slide}} except that you can
-    % also use the \step and \FromOverlay commands defined just above and
-    % the value of n will be automatically determined from the uses of
-    % \step and \FromOverlay.
-    
-    \long\def\overlayslide#1#2%

-1U) description and enumerate nesting with \itemsep
-
-  From Frédéric Goualard's TODO: Do the same thing for description and
-  enumerate as for itemize to prevent a bug when nesting them in an
-  itemsep environment
-
-
-2A) Support for vtex
-
-  support for VTeX. Up to now, the one provided with the VTeX
-  distribution has been written by some guys at VTeX, which means that
-  it is likely they are providing an out-of-date version by now.
-
-
-2B) A letter size mode
-
-  Also reported on SourceForge
-
-    [ 423834 ] Support for letter size
-
-    My understanding is that prosper supports only A4 paper size. It
-    would be nice to support letter size as well so that we in the
-    U.S. can use it too.

-
-2C) Remove extra movement in overlays
-
-  On 04 Jun 2002 22:27:38 +0200, Ulrik Buchholtz <ulrikb@gmx.net>
-  reported the following
-
-    I'm using prosper version 1.00.4 with turtleturtle's 2001-07-16
-    overlays patch. I want to have overlays showing incremental work on an
-    equation. However, sometimes there is an unwanted movement of
-    already present material. See the difference between page one and two
-    in the following minimal example:
-    
-    ----------------------------
-    \documentclass[pdf]{prosper}
-    \usepackage{amsmath}
-    \begin{document}
-     
-    \overlays{2}{
-    \begin{slide}{Simple example}
-    \begin{align*}
-    a &\fromSlide{1}{=b} \\
-      &\fromSlide{2}{=d}
-    \end{align*}
-    \end{slide}
-    } 
-    
-    \end{document}
-    ----------------------------
-    
-    Notice how the first line of the equation moves to left from page one
-    to page two. (I'm viewing the resulting pdf-file with acroread 4.05
-    for linux, but I don't think that has any importance.)
-    
-    For more complicated settings the effect can be a bit greater.
-    
-    I hope that it is clear what I want to do. Is there a better way to do
-    it or is there a work-around for this apparent bug?
-
-
-2D) pst-node node connections in overlays
-
-  Micha reported the following incompatibility with pst-node of
-  pstricks:
-
-    
-    theres an error displaying overlays containing node connections
-    when the symbolic name of a node
-    (rnode{foo}{stuff},rode{bar}{stuff}) is given in a slide before
-    the node connection itself (ncline{foo}{bar}). Actually the line
-    is drawn as soon as the first rnode is available giving me a line
-    from the infinit upper left to the defined point.
-    
-    By now pst-node is not usable together with prosper.
-
-
-2E) Graphics rotation rotates the whole slide
-
-  The following is reported by Joerg:
-    
-    I am using prosper with the graphicx package and it works well. But when
-    I want to include an eps-file with the following command
-    
-    
-    \includegraphics[angle=90,width=\textwidth]{file.eps}
-                     ^^^^^
-    
-    not only file.eps is rotated but the complete slide. The same occures
-    when I use the rotating package in combination with the sideways
-    enviroment and the includegraphics instruction.
-
-  This is also reported on SourceForge
-
-    [ 517880 ] rotating graphics
-
-    Rotating graphics with the graphicx like
-    
-    \includegraphics[angle=90]{file} 
-    
-    or the sideways envrioment (rotating package) turns not only the
-    graphic but the whole slide.
-
-
-2F) Color broken in center environment 
- 
-  The following is reported on SourceForge
-
-    Color broken in center environment 
-
-    \begin{center} 
-    \color{blue} text 
-    \end{center} 
-    
-    produces black text, not blue (see attached example file). Somehow
-    a special "ps: 0. setgray" finds its way into the dvi-file in
-    front of "text".
-
-   
-2G) Shifted right or cropped
-
-  The following has been reported on SourceForge.  I might not be
-  reproducible since it could be due to local misconfiguration:
-    
-    RedHat 7.2 
-    teTeX 1.0.7 
-    gnu ghostscript 6.51 
-    acroread 4.05 
-    
-    dvips -Ppdf -G0 
-    ps2pdf <no options> 
-    
-    
-    It appears that the entire slide is shifted right 
-    or cropped. 
-    
-    Building the prosper-tour slides results in the caption running
-    off the right margin at the "/" the "total pages" number is
-    off-page. The pre-compiled prosper-tour.pdf files display fine.
-    
-    It's OK when looking at the .ps file with gv, but looking at the
-    .pdf file with either acroread or xpdf chops off the right side of
-    the page.
-    
-    Are the options to ps2pdf that need to be specified?
-
-
-2H) problems with newest hyperref
-
-  The following is reported on SourceForge
-
-  problems with newest hyperref?:	
-
-    I have just installed the newest hyperref package
-    [2001/04/05 v6.71e
-    Hypertext links for LaTeX]
-    and the newest prosper. I have problems with the
-    contemporain style and an old presentation, I made two
-    months ago. The problem occurs with the example.tex
-    from the prosper class.
-

-2I) Color and makeindex
-
-  The following bug report is taken from SourceForge
-
-    (later version) color-package and prosper
-    
-    if I use this directive in the preambel 
-    
-    \usepackage{color} 
-    
-    the titel on the page created with 
-    
-    \makeindex 
-    
-    is always black. 
-    
-    Has anyone solved this? 
-
-
-2J) Misalignments with tabular environments
- 
-  The following is submitted by Pietro Braione
-  (braione@elet.polimi.it) on SourceForge
-
-    [ 484291 ] Misalignments with tabular environments
-      
-    When \onlySlide / \onlySlide* are used inside a \tabular
-    environment, it results in vertical misalignments and differences
-    between the formatting of the overlays, which make the animation
-    look bad. An example is enclosed.
-  
-  It might be solvable with the patches PMN has done to the slides and
-  overlays.
-
-
-2K) math is not longer displayed using gs 6.
-
-  Uwe Brauer reported the following bug on SourceForge
-
-    [ 497606 ] math is not longer displayed using gs 6.
-    
-    I am using prosper-1.04 for a while, together with ghoscript 6.02
-    and fonts version 6.5 pre complied from ahobe. I did not have any
-    problems so far, but todaz for the first time I discovered that in
-    the pdf file the mat symbols are presented by a simple line.
-    
-    It is not a fault of my acrobat reader, since the file
-    prosper-tour.pdf get displayed correctly. However when the
-    underlying tex file is compiled math get displayed correctly in
-    the ps file, when converting it to pdf via ps2pdf, then gv
-    displays math correctly but not acrobat reader.
-    
-    I am completly sunned by this. Any help would be strongly
-    recommend since I want to present a lecture using prosper within
-    10 days.
-
-
-2L) Multiple pictures and a white box
-
-  Pau reported the following on SourceForge
-
-    [ 492503 ] Multiple pictures and a white box
-    
-    I am trying to create a slide which uses the autumn background
-    with the prosper package and has several postscript files on the
-    same slide.
-    
-    To make the pictures clear, I added a white box and inserted the
-    figues using the tabular command. The latex syntax is as follows
-    
-      \overlays{1}{% 
-      \begin{slide}{\small Dispersive Considerations 1 $h$ 
-      refinement} 
-      \onlySlide*{1}{ 
-      \setlength{\unitlength}{1in} 
-      \begin{center} 
-      \colorbox{white}{\makebox(3,2.5)[t]{ 
-      \begin{tabular}{cc} 
-      {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper1hq.eps}} 
-      & 
-      {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper0.5hq.eps}} 
-      \\ 
-      \hbox{$h=1$} & \hbox{$h=0.5$} \\ 
-      {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper0.25hq.eps}} 
-      & 
-      {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper0.125hq.eps}} 
-      \\ 
-      \hbox{$h=0.25$} & \hbox{$h=0.125$} 
-      \end{tabular}}} 
-      \end{center}}% 
-      \end{slide}} 
-    
-    The slide appears fine in the normal view of acrobat reader,
-    however, when I change to full screen mode, additional black lines
-    appear and the figures are no longer visible.
-    
-    When I use only one postscript file, set against a white
-    background I do not get this problem....

-2N) Incorrect math alignment
-
-  The following is reported by Angela on SourceForge:
-
-    [ 506787 ] incorrect math alignment
-      
-    Math formulas involving subscripts are not typeset correctly. The
-    PS file generated has correct formatting. The PDF file created
-    with ps2pdf does not.
-    
-    The problem appears to truly belong to Prosper, since the same
-    LaTeX formulae processed using, e.g. amsart class are typeset
-    correctly both in PS and PDF.
-    
-    Example: compare the output of the following latex code under
-    Prosper and under amsart.cls.
-    
-    Under Prosper: 
-    ---------clip here------------------------------ 
-    \documentclass[total,pdf,slideColor,colorBG,darkblue]{prosper} 
-    \usepackage{amsmath} 
-    \begin{document} 
-    \begin{slide}{example} 
-    \begin{equation*} 
-    \begin{aligned} 
-    &\exp\left(\frac{c_{pa}}{V}\,A\right)\\ 
-    &\exp\left(\frac{c_{ap}}{V}\,A\right)\\ 
-    \end{aligned} 
-    \end{equation*} 
-    \end{slide} 
-    \end{document} 
-    -------clip here-------------------------------- 
-    
-    Under amslatex: 
-    --------clip here------------------------------- 
-    \documentclass[final]{amsart} 
-    \begin{document} 
-    \begin{equation*} 
-    \begin{aligned} 
-    &\exp\left(\frac{c_{pa}}{V}\,A\right)\\ 
-    &\exp\left(\frac{c_{ap}}{V}\,A\right)\\ 
-    \end{aligned} 
-    \end{equation*} 
-    \end{document} 
-    --------clip here-------------------------------- 
-    
-    Everything is as it should be in both the Prosper and amslatex PS
-    files and in the PDF generated from the amslatex PS file
-    (generated by ps2pdf). The PDF created from the Prosper file is
-    not typeset correctly.
-    
-    Any work around or bug fix would be very much appreciated. Despite
-    this small but annoying bug, I must offer you my sincere
-    congratulations and many thanks for this fine software!

-
-  PMN: one reason to this bug might be the fact that Prosper uses very
-  large fonts.  Even when using postscript for the text, the math
-  fonts are still taken from Computer Modern which are not
-  scalable. So for large fonts, the correct font sizes for sub and
-  superscripts does not exist and LaTeX does some quite heavy font
-  substitutions (I've seen up to 1.26 pt).  If this is the case, the
-  solution might be to provide an option to ask LaTeX to generate the
-  font sizes in tighter sizes.

-    I tried to do a presentation with prosper and it did not work. I'm
-    using teTeX, dvips -Ppdf, ps2pdf on Mandrake 8.1 with Acrobat 4 as

-    doesn't work with prosper. Any idea ?

-3A) Figure number when using caption
-
-    J.G. Zhou <J.G.Zhou@mmu.ac.uk> reported (Fri, 14 Sep 2001 09:53:01
-    +0100) the following:
-
-        I used the prosper.cls which is great. However, I got a little
-        problem figures in my slide file -- use of
-        
-        \begin{figure}
-        \includegraphics{foo.ps}
-        \caption{foo}
-        \label{foo.ps}
-        \eng{figure}
-        
-        always generates a caption as "Fig. 0", no matter how many
-        figures are included in myslide.tex.
-        
-    Fred Labrosse suggested the following, which I am however not sure
-    is correct.  In particular, note that the figure environment is
-    used above.
-    
-      This is not a prosper problem but a LaTeX feature.  \caption is
-      meant to be used in figure (and others) environment and uses a
-      counter incremented in this environment.  Since you don't use
-      the figure environment, the relevant counter is not incremented
-      and keeps its value of 0.
-      
-      2 solutions.  The first is to use the figure environment but I
-      doubt you really want to since it is a floating environment (and
-      I am not even sure it is defined in prosper).  The other one is
-      to increment the counter: \refstepcounter{figure} before using
-      \caption.
-      
-    Final comments from J.G. Zhou 
-    
-      Thanks for your suggestions. I tried it. Unfortunately, none
-      work for me.  Also I noticed one difference between pdf and ps
-      mode for slide. What I mean is that if
-      \documentclass[pdf,...]{prosper} is used, the \caption always
-      generates "Figure 0:...". However, if
-      \documentclass[ps,...]{prosper}, \caption works fine. So I don't
-      understand what causes this problem.  Could you got any idea or
-      clue?
-
-4A) \inslides Command
-
-  a command combining the functionality of \fromSlide, \onlySlide, and
-  \untilSlide with a more flexible way to specify the pattern.
-  Something like
-
-    \inSlides{-3,5-6,8,10-}{text appearing on various overlyas} 
-
-  Of course, this should also appear in a starred version
-
-
-4B) A portrait mode
-
-
-4C) A notes mode
-  
-  In the style of seminar
-
-
-4D) Generalize \itemstep
- 
-  The formatting used by the command should be made more user
-  customizable, e.g., by introducing \itemstepCurrentStart and
-  \itemstepCurrentEnd.  These commands should both take one argument:
-  the item's number.  
-
-  The current behavior of \itemstep would then be achieved using
-
-    \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentStart}[1]{\FromSlide{#1}}
-    \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentEnd}[1]{}
-    
-  While highlighting the current item could be achieved with
-
-    \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentStart}[1]{\color{highlight}}
-    \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentEnd}[1]{\color{normal}}
-    
-
-4E) Formatting options to commands
-
-  Similar in style to 4D the functionality and the formatting of the
-  prosper commands should be divided.  There should be a standard way
-  to each command to change the formatting.  This can be compared to
-  the hacks of emacs functions.
-
-
-4F) Turn of slide number
-
-  The following has been requested by Richard Sudarmono <iye@gmx.de>
-  on Fri, 7 Dec 2001 14:08:01 +0100
-   
-    could anybody tell me, how can I get rid of the slide number?  (I
-    find only the 'total' & 'nototal' option, which don't help to
-    solve the problem).
-
-
-4G) Optional hyphenation
-
-  Some people want to have hyphenation in the slides.  To do this the
-  effect of raggedright should be canceled.
-
-
-4H) Navigation buttons
-
-  Some people would like navigation buttons to navigate through the
-  slides.
-
-  An alternative suggestion is by Pedro Jorge Caridade
-  <caridade@qta.qui.uc.pt> on Wed, 20 Feb 2002 10:24:12 +0000
-
-    Is it possible and in a simple way to overpass several layers in
-    one slide by, for example, clicking on the slide title. (If it was
-    just one slide it's ease with the nexpage command).
-
-
-4I) Placement and form of slide number
- 
-  On Thu, 6 Jun 2002 16:07:00 -0500, "Luis A Escobar" <luis@lsu.edu>
-  asked the following suggestion:
-
-    Has somebody done the work of modifying prosper.cls to modify the
-    placement of the slide number?
-    
-    I would like to create a slide number of the type chapter # -
-    slide #, i.e., 10-22, chapter 10 slide 22. Also i would like to
-    get rid off the "-p" that shows with the slide number.
-
-  And the following is requested by Stephen Eglen on SourceForge:
-
-    Option to remove slide caption? 
-
-    many thanks for providing prosper. I just used it to create my
-    first presentation. I was just wondering though if there is an
-    easy way to remove the \slidecaption in the bottom right corner? I
-    could find an option to not include the total page numbers, but
-    how do I remove both the caption and the page count? For now I
-    commented out the line in prosper.cls that writes the caption, but
-    that seems a bit drastic!
-
-
-4J) Global options
-
-  It should be possible to provide other than prosper's.  Since the
-  consensus appear to be that style files start with PPR, that could
-  be achieved by testing whether a file PPR<option> exists.  If not,
-  the options is passed as a global option.
-
-4K) Dimensions in PROSPER 
-  
-  The following is a bug report from SourceForge
-
-    I am trying to make a new style file for PROSPER. However I have seen
-    that the dimensions used are scaled by a factor of 2. For example, if
-    I want to put a Logo at the position (-1.0 cm, -1.0 cm) relating the
-    default base, I have to set the logo position to (-0.5, -0.5). I
-    thought that could be a problem with the dimensions of PSTricks (when
-    included) but I appears to be indpendent of
-    that. 
-
-
-4L) Long pages
-
-  Requested on SourceForge
-
-    [ 314296 ] Page formating of long pages
-
-    Unfortunately, prosper seems not to be able to handle
-    long pages correctly by inserting page breaks
-    automatically.
-    
-    In the example given blow, a page break is inserted
-    after the 11. item. prosper does not insert such a page
-    break and in addition, the 12. item is not visible on
-    the slide and no error message is created.
-    
-    Is there any chance, that the standard behaviour of the
-    seminar package can be added to prosper?
-
-  Response from Frédéric Goualard:
-
-    Hum... I do not remember what is exactly the original behaviour of
-    seminar in that case. I will have a look at that. However, I think
-    that slides are usually written on a "per-page" basis.
-
-
-4M) In .dtx format with and .ins file
-
-  This is standard LaTeX.  Possibly we should also upload it to CTAN.
-
-
-4N) Remove use of \myitem

-  From Frédéric Goualard's TODO: get rid of \myitem{}{} to use a more
-  standard way of modifying bullets

-  From Frédéric Goualard's TODO: a graphical modeller for easily
-  devising new Prosper styles (in [incr Tcl])

-
-4P) Add control on \fromSlide and friends
-
-  From Frédéric Goualard's TODO: add control on parameters for macros
-  \fromSlide,....

-4Q) Get rid of seminar
-
-
-5A) Article option
-
-  This has been mentioned, but I'm not sure how this is different from
-  the notes mode.
-
-
-5B) Hypermedia options
-
-  A number of people includes video clips.  It might be convenient to
-  add some kind of general support for this.  
-
-
-5C) Features of prosper demo
-  
-  After posting the Prosper demo somebody mentioned that some features
-  need to be incorporated.  I have not checked what yet. 
-
-  The demo is at http://www.mit.bme.hu/~markus/latex/prosper/demo.pdf
-
-
-5D) Problems with glitter, blind, etc
-
-  There seems to be some confusion on how to get glitter, blind,
-  etc. to work.  The following is reported on SourceForge:
-
-    glitter blind etc not working:
-
-    When i veiw the 'tour' i get the glitter effect but when i compile
-    locally myself i dont. Do i have an old version of something that
-    doesnt support this type of effect ?
-
-  And also
-
-    [ 529669 ] Transition effects doesnt work in 1.00.4
-      
-    I have tried The transition effects in both Linux SuSE 6.2
-    "heavily" modified and FreeBSD 4.4 Release.
-    
-    In both architectures the version 1.00.3 work perfectly, but
-    1.00.4 doesnt seem to produce the correct transition effects
-    
-5E) Acrobat 5.05 and prosper = no go
-
-  From SourceForege    
-    
-    [ 578762 ] Acrobat 5.05 and prosper = no go?
-    
-    It seems that acrobat 5.05 and prosper doesn't get well
-    along... My system is a linux RH7.3. I downloaded prosper and
-    tried to compile the prosper-tour.tex, following the instruction,
-    and changing the style to "frames". Using acroread 4.05 the
-    documents is almost correctly presented (the lines on the
-    commutative diagrams are missing, and some math symbol is quite
-    pesky). But the same pdf file is impossible to read in acroread
-    5.05, having all the colors wrong in all the page but the
-    first. As a nice effects... now the only visible thing are the
-    lines on the commutative diagrams.
-
-5F) As a Style File
-
-  Allow using Prosper as a style file instead of a class
-  file. Actually, this has already been done by a guy at INRIA who
-  offered me the code he had written.
