+\noindent This is a list of all corrections made to {\sl Computers \&
+Typesetting}, Volumes A,~C, and E\null, between 30 September 1989 (when
+the revisions for \TeX\ Version 3.0 and \MF\ Version 2.0 were made) and
+December 31, 1990.
+Corrections made to the softcover version of {\sl The \TeX book\/} are
+the same as corrections to Volume~A\null. Corrections to the softcover
+version of {\sl The \slMF\kern1ptbook\/} are the same as corrections
+to Volume~C\null. Some of the corrections below have already been made in
+reprintings of the books. Hundreds of changes, too many to list here,
+have been made to Volumes B~and~D because of the upgrades to \TeX\ and
+\MF\null. Readers who need up-to-date information on the \TeX\ and
+\MF\ programs should refer to the |WEB| source files until new
+printings of Volumes B~and~D are issued. \looseness=-1

+Floating insertions can be accommodated
+as a special case of split insertions, by making each floating topinsert
+start with a small penalty, and by having
+zero as the associated |\floatingpenalty|; non-floating insertions
+like footnotes are accommodated by associating larger penalties with
+split insertions (see Appendix~B).

+`^|\noalign||{|^|\break||}|'

+can enclose the whole works in a ^|\vbox|:

+
+\danger The |\+| macro in Appendix~B works
+by putting the \<text> for each column that's followed by~|&|
+into an hbox as follows:
+\begindisplay
+|\hbox to |\<column width>|{|\<text>|\hss}|
+\enddisplay
+The ^|\hss| means that the text is normally flush left, and that it can
+extend to the right of its box. Since |\hfill| is ``more infinite'' than
+|\hss| in its ability to stretch, it has the effect of right-justifying or
+centering as stated above. Note that |\hfill| doesn't shrink, but |\hss|
+does; if the text doesn't fit in its column, it will stick out at the right.
+You could cancel the shrinkability of |\hss| by adding ^|\hfilneg|; then
+an oversize text would produce an overfull box.
+You could also center some text by putting `|\hss|' before it and just
+`|&|' after it; in that case the text would be allowed to extend to the
+left and right of its column.
+ The last column of a |\+|~line (i.e., the column entry that is
+followed by |\cr|) is treated differently: The
+\<text> is simply put into an hbox with its natural~width.\looseness=-1
