These +were archived on CTAN in info/aro-bend, but are now in info/challenges/aro-bend, +as 36 files called exercise.* and answer.*, but in general Around the Bend +is not well known even though it illuminates some of the essential, but +possibly more arcane, aspects of TeX. + + I have been presumptuous and taken the liberty of putting them all into +a single document, AroundTheBend.pdf, which might be more accessible than +the individual postings that form the original archive. I have also included +three challenges, namely 19, 20, and 21, that have not made it into the +CTAN archive. + + If Michael was still with us I imagine that he would have put no +restrictions on his work. With this in mind, the files comprising +AroundTheBend.tex, which is the basis for AroundTheBend.pdf, are under +the LPPL. + +Peter Wilson +25 July 2008 + + |
