+
+ * newfaq.tex: Removed the \NeedsTeXFormat (since it's now done in
+ faq.sty); also types out file versions and so on.
+ Modified text (sometimes by bodily shifts or even rewrites) to ensure
+ that if a \CTANref is at the end of a sentence, it's always also at the
+ end of a paragraph, with no full stop after it
+ Added references (which aren't yet satisfied) for VMS dvips executables
+ and l2a (do we want that, though?)
+
+ * faq.sty: Moved \NeedsTeXFormat to style file
+ Define version number (now 0.4) and date, and type 'em out

+ to vmargin (and posted a question about whether we still want vpage)
+ (section{Special sorts of typesetting}): Add reference to makeindex (to
+ match the one for macmakeindex) and idxtex (what's all this garbage
+ about texindex? -- the .tar.gz file in the directory is (shall we say)
+ peculiar...)

+ Add fullpage, vmargin
+
+ * texnames.sty: Make logo for BibTeX transportable (i.e., usable not in

+
+ * newfaq.tex (section{Special Sorts of Typesetting}): First attempt at

+ touched...

+ * dirctan.tex: change reference to fancyheadings to point into 2e
+ directory tree
+
+ * texnames.sty: Define \BibTeX using \textsc rather than the ingenious
+ stuff that the original used (which, since it employs \sc, suppresses
+ the use of bold face in section titles)
+
+ * faq.sty: \Qref now to have three arguments, the third being the
+ actual thing we're referring to (the second is for the html processor's
+ anchoring text)

+ (instead of the inline definitions it contains)
+ Moved 2etools directory out to dirctan.tex
+ (section{PostScript and \TeX{}}): Give Blue Sky's telephone no. in
+ canonical form
+ (section{\TeX{} Systems}): Corrected the reference to science.utah.edu
+ (which is now ftp.math.utah.edu), checked that the files for TOPS-20
+ are still there...
+ (section{Documentation and Help}): Corrected numeric address for
+ rtfm.mit.edu
+ (section{Documentation and Help}): Made reference to the index an

+
+ * newfaq.tex: Remove loading of package shortvrb and definition of the
+ short verb character
+ Changed layout of the path specified for the start of the CTAN archive
+ from "./tex-archive" to "tex-archive/" (and used \CTAN for reference in
+ place of \path)
+ Refer to ucthesis via its \CTANref
+ Change layout of the path reference for DECUS TeX on wuarchive (without
+ prejudice as to whether we actually want to retain the reference at
+ all, of course)
+ Quote DECUS library telephone number in the same way as all other nos
+ Correct reference to Barbara Beeton's email address
+
+ * faq.sty: Comment out the use of path.sty, all of my old stuff about
+ the CTAN labels
+ Add Alan's versions of the same... (less transmission errors)

+ _before_ using it as a delimiter for the various path-like commands
+ Similarly, make sure `@' is catcoded to `other' before defining the
+ \Email macro
+ Start \FAQverb with \leavevmode, since otherwise we might find
+ ourselves trying to change language while in vertical mode

+ commands
+
+ * faq.sty: give \Qref an optional first argument (intro text, default

+ which is the old version of the command and then \egroup (similarly for
+ \CTANfile, with \@CTANfile)
+ make the scribble for undefined references come out in \texttt
+ lots of kerfuffle to recover the situation of the directory (etc.)
+ declarations split
+
+ * path.sty: define \@morediscreet, a version of the same as the
+ internal version of \discretionaries, except that it defines all the
+ active characters to become \relax, so that they can be \xdef'ed
+
+Fri Oct 14 22:38:58 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
+
+ * newfaq.tex: change \Qref{dvi-ps} to {Q-dvips} (one or the other had

+ second \CTANfile{unixtexftp} was really a \CTANref
+ removed original entry in the systems list for Macs, since it's been
+ superseded by Seb's new one
+ second \CTANfile{btxmactex} was in fact a \CTANref
+ (outstanding package warnings re CTANrefs are texsgi,vmspell and
+ txtdist)
+
+ * texnames.sty: made the name for SliTeX conform to the comment about
+ it (it's not a big deal now that it's dead, but lower-case `i' (as
+ opposed to small caps `i') looked really odd
+
+ * faq.sty: Added some scribble text in case of an unassigned \CTANref
+ err ... yet another instance of \makeatletter ... and another

+
+ * faq.sty: add (null) definition of \checked macro
+ made \CTANfile and \CTANdirectory \gdef their reference commands, and
+ defined a \CTANsanitise command
+
+ * newfaq.tex: last two \CTANlabels become one \CTANdirectory (ispell)
+ and two \CTANfiles (VMS TeX)
+ (section{\MF{}}): mf \smode=... into a verbatim env (rather than short
+ verb)
+ (section{\TeX{} Systems}): VAX/VMS item -> VMS item (added a \checked

+
+ * newfaq.tex (section{Documentation and Help}): Removed repeated TUG

+ regional user groups
+ (section{Documentation and Help}): rationalise use of \BibTeX (in
+ particular, bibtex.1 is a _file_, not something that can reasonably

+Sun Oct 2 17:14:30 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk)
+
+ * newfaq.tex (section{The Background}): Added body to the questions

+Sat Oct 1 (evening) 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
+
+ * newfaq.tex: significant upheaval (several new questions, fewer new
+ answers), following discussion with Jonathan;
+ add \NeedsTeXFormat requirement (should this be in faq.sty?);
+ new section The Background with some stuff moved out from Introduction,

+
+ * faq.sty: moved the font-setting commands, etc., into the package
+
+Tue Sep 27 14:17:51 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
+

+ several versions according to the environment it's to be processed in
+ -- e.g., versions for PS font usage/cm font usage, even a version for
+ processing to plain text?)

+
+ * newfaq.tex: moved \documentclass, \usepackage above defs of
+ fileversion and date, so as not to pick up that from mflogo;
+ `getting a copy' - removed fileserv@shsu.bitnet, put various email
+ addresses in \Email; put NEWS.ANSWERS into more coherent form
+ (verbatim; and yes, it _does_ need to be upper case)

+ `oztex': it's now shareware, not PD
+ `fig and where to get it': remove escape from _ in \path (!)
+ `music': corrected email address for Taupin and his ftp site
+ `double-spacing': doublespace.sty is a file name; close paren round ref
+ to CTAN; "latest release of LaTeX"->"LaTeX2e"
+ `macros to do Y': verbatim site index command <term> in text
+ `... for machine Y running Q': FTP.nwc is a file, and yes, it is there
+ ibid, both AIX and PC made explicit reference to fpt.dante.de
+ `blackboard bold': tech-support is an email address; add reference to
+ the extraordinary bbm fonts
+ `repositories': correct address corresponding to ftp.tex.ac.uk; put
+ site index command into verbatim
+ `Laserjet': converted S's \Q about Berry's prog into an actual
+ reference to it

+ New question about things like \tenrm in 2e added
+ `references wrong': line up corrected code in two columns
+ `change margins': indent code
+ `width of letter, etc.': indent examples; remove redundant `T' from
+ LaTeX
+ `LaTeX2e': first production release was June
+ `log-like functions': indent examples
+ `\@': "?" at end of question
+ `Companion ... @': space after LaTeX in question, "!" at end

+ markup commands
+
+Mon Sep 19 11:46:40 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
+
+ * define \Newsgroup (same as all the rest, pro tem) and use it for
+ comp.tex.tex, comp.unix.wizards, news.answers, comp.sources.unix,
+ comp.programming.literate, comp.sources.misc, comp.text, comp.fonts
+
+ * added new questions "what's all this about \@", "but the companion
+ tells me to use \@startsection" and "I've found a bug: what do I do"
+ (which last was a suggestion of Jonathan's)
+
+ * put \fileversion in the title (rather than \filedate twice)
+
+ * defined command \cs (out of ltxdoc.cls) so that we can put commands
+ in question names, required for q32 about \pagestyle{emtpy}
