<strong>abstract:</strong> In 1992 ging de NTG zijn 5e jaar van bestaan in. Twee NTG
bijeenkomsten vonden plaats met vele goede lezingen, naast
een succesvolle en goed bezette 5-daagse Advanced TeX
cursus (low budget; met het cursusmateriaal als
MAPS-Special). Er verschenen wederom een tweetal MAPS
uitgaven (Minutes & APpendiceS). Medewerking werd tevens
verleend aan het LaTeX3 projekt.<br>
En voor de rest is er het diverse door de leden gedaan
waaronder een Public Domain MS-DOS set (instap en
volledige versie), proeflezen van de MAPS, en de
hulpverlening bij vragen op de TEX-NL discussielijst.<br>

<strong>keywords:</strong> BBS, bulletin board, FGBBS<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> Nieuw voor de Nederlandstalige TeX Gebruikersgroep: een
TeX Bulletin Board speciaal voor diegenen die niet op
het Internet zijn aangesloten. De naam: FGBBS. Op FGBBS is
sinds kort een zo volledig en actueel mogelijke TeX,
emTeX, LaTeX en MusicTeX collectie beschikbaar voor
alle bezitters van een modem. Het BBS is kosteloos
toegankelijk voor iedereen en er zijn geen beperkingen aan
de hoeveelheid bestanden die kunnen worden opgevraagd. Het
systeem is aangesloten op een High Speed modem, vergeleken
met de transmissiesnelheid die een directe Internet link
biedt misschien niet geweldig, maar veel beter kan het
niet over de gewone huis- tuin- en keukenPTTlijn. FGBBS is
te bellen op 085-217041. Noot 31-jan-1997: nieuw nummer is
026-3217 041.<br>

<em>A way to ensure the future of TeX: make its use easier on low-cost machines</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 41-52<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> back-end, front-end, scientific word-processor, hypertext,
tree, link, multi-author document, file manager, numerical
computation, formal computation, worksheet, database, e-mail,
PC, notebook, OS/2<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> The PC is the cheapest computer and the most widespread
one in the scientific community. Faced with commercial
scientific word-processors that are improving steadily in
wrong directions, it is urgent to make the use of TeX
easier on the PC, to ensure its future and avoid costly
dead-ends to researchers. We have designed a program,
AsTeX, that allows to create easily multi-author
scientific documents in TeX or LaTeX on PCs. It
provides an on-line hypertext help and a multi-level
assistance in typing LaTeX code. It allows to display
and modify very easily the structure of a document, to
archive and retrieve files related to it, to perform
numerical and formal computations from the document and
include automatically the results, to create LaTeX
tables from worksheets or databases of formulas. It
processes electronic mail and files sent by list servers
for a better use of information and eases considerably the
use of anonymous ftp and archie servers by local archiving
of selected informations.<br>

<em>4TeX: a TeX Workbench for MS-DOS PC's</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 53-56<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> 4TeX, workbench, PC, MS-DOS, freeware, shareware<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> TeX and all its companions offer an enormous amount of
possibilities. This is both an advantage and a
disadvantage. The advantage is that almost anything is
possible; the disadvantage is that you need detailed
knowledge of all related programs to fully exploit the
possibilities. The MS-DOS program 4TeX is an attempt to
integrate all major TeX related programs in a shell that
shields you from the tedious and frustrating job of
setting environment variables and program parameters.<br>

<em>TeX zonder omhaal; voor Atari ST en andere PC's</em>, Dutch, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 57-68<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> Atari, PD-TeX<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> Deze cursus is bedoeld als eerste kennismaking met TeX
op een eenvoudige PC. Een harde schijf is niet nodig. De
cursus is gebaseerd op de PD-TeX van Christoph Strunk
voor Atari ST. De installatie en de functie van de basis
bestanden van TeX worden behandeld. Deze cursus is een
gecorrigeerde herdruk van een serie artikelen in het blad
ST uitgegeven door: Stichting ST. Daar zijn de in de tekst
genoemde schijfjes te verkrijgen.<br>

<strong>keywords:</strong> TEX-NL, discussielijst<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> Gezeefd uit de NTG TEX-NL discussielijst van 1992 en

alleen voor de niet-netwerkers doch ook voor de TEX-NL
subscribers die de berichten te snel langs hun heen zagen
gaan. Keuze is gemaakt op persoonlijke titel, veel is dus
ongetwijfeld missende. Echter de onderwerpen welke in deze
bijdrage worden behandeld zijn zeker van algemeen belang.<br>

<strong>keywords:</strong> armTeX, Acorn, Archimedes, port<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> In dit artikeltje zal ik vertellen wat armTeX is en
welke voor- en nadelen het systeem heeft. Het is geen
uitvoerige opsomming van wat TeX kan, omdat de lezer
geacht wordt daarvan (enigszins) op de hoogte te zijn. Ik
zal me meer richten op de technische kanten van het werken
met TeX op de Archimedes.<br>

<em>The Future of TeX</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 77-85<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> extended TeX, NTS, New Typesetting System<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> TeX and the other members of Knuth's Computers &
Typesetting family are arguably amongst the most
successful examples of computer software in the world,
having been ported to almost every conceivable operating
system and attracting an allegiance that verges on the
fanatical. Development work on this family has now ceased,
and many members of the computer typesetting community are
concerned that some action should be taken to ensure that
the ideas and philosophy enshrined in TeX are not
allowed simply to fade away. In this paper, we discuss
some of the options available for perpetuating the TeX
philosophy, and examine the strengths and weaknesses of
the present TeX system. We conclude by postulating a
development strategy for the future which will honour both
the letter and the spirit of Knuth's wish that TeX,
METAFONT and the Computer Modern typefaces remain his sole
responsibility, and at the same time ensure that the
philosophy and paradigms which are the strengths of TeX
are not lost for ever by having artificial constraints
placed on their evolution.<br>

<em>E-TeX: Guidelines for Future TeX extensions</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 86-94<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> E-TeX, guidelines, extensions<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> With the announcement of TeX 3.0, Don Knuth
acknowledged the need of the (ever growing) TeX
community for an even better system. But at the same time,
he made it clear, that he will not get involved in any
further enhancements that would change the TeXbook.
TeX started out originally as a system designed to
typeset its author's own publications. In the meantime it
serves hundreds of thousands of users. Now it is time,
after ten years' experience, to step back and consider
whether or not TeX 3.0 is an adequate answer to the
typesetting requirements of the nineties. Output produced
by TeX has higher standards than output generated
automatically by most other typesetting systems.
Therefore, in this paper we will focus on the quality
standards set by typographers for hand-typeset documents
and ask to what extent they are achieved by TeX.
Limitations of TeX's algorithms are analyzed; and missing
features as well as new concepts are outlined.<br>

<em>The LaTeX3 Project</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 95-100<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> LaTeX3<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> This is a brief sketch of the LaTeX3 Project:
background, history, principles, aims and functionality.
The new version of LaTeX is, like the current version, a
freely available system for automated processing of
structured documents, formatting them to the highest
typographic standards by use of the TeX typesetting
software. Although its uses include a very large range of
published documents, the importance of its unsurpassed
ability to format mathematical formulas will not be
forgotten in producing the new version. It is being
produced by an international group of volunteers under the
technical direction of Frank Mittelbach.<br>

<em>PostScript en LaTeX, de komplementariteit in praktijk</em>, Dutch, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 101-113<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> PostScript, LaTeX, epsfig, NFSS<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> In dit artikel toon ik aan hoe PostScript en LaTeX een
hoge graad van samenhorigheid bezitten, die het mogelijk
maakt om de voordelen van beide systemen te kombineren om
dokumenten elektronisch te publiceren. Allereerst vertel
ik hoe, samen met de dvi-vertaler dvips en het
stijlbestand epsfig, het invoegen van PostScript materiaal
in een (La)TeX bestand heel eenvoudig wordt. Samen met
de stijl rotating kan men bijna elk gewenst globaal
grafisch effekt verkrijgen zonder per-se een PostScript
guru te zijn. In het tweede gedeelte van het artikel geef
ik een kort overzicht van enkele op PostScript gebaseerde
stijlbestanden, die bepaalde nuttige visuele effekten
genereren, zoals grijze raampjes, kleurentypografie en het
overdrukken van tekst. In het laatste gedeelte toon ik hoe
eenvoudig het is om PostScript fonts te gebruiken in
LaTeX met het nieuwe fontselektie systeem (NFSS) van
Frank Mittelbach.<br>

<em>When TeX and METAFONT Work Together</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 124-139<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> METAFONT, labelling figures, figures with labels,
curvilinear<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> When TeX and METAFONT communicate to each other, they
can do more together than they can alone. This
presentation concentrates on two illustrations of this
principal, and urges readers to come up with more. When
TeX becomes sensitive to information passed to it from
METAFONT, it is possible to prepare diagrams and figures
using METAFONT and then to have TeX prepare labels which
can be precisely positioned within the figure. When
communication goes the other way, TeX and METAFONT can
prepare special purpose fonts which (among other things)
can be set along curved baselines. Illustrations of both
techniques are presented.<br>

<em>Typesetting number sequences; FIFO and some more</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 145-148<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> typesetting sequences, citation lists, lists of references,
linear sorting, FIFO, plain TeX, macro writing, education<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> Typesetting sequences of numerical values, represented
via symbolic names which get their values on the fly, is
dealt with. The sorting of the sequence is done by a
linear sorting algorithm, of complexity O(n2). Three or
more consecutive numbers are typeset as a range. The
objective was to encode typesetting sequences of numbers
as simple, concise, general, compatible, modular,
orthogonal, and ..., as possible in TeX.<br>

<em>Sorting in BLUe</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 149-170<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> sorting, index preparation, database handling, multiple
sorting keys, macro writing, education<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> Macros for number and lexicographic sorting are supplied.
Data can originate from the copy, from file, or generated
automatically. Lexicographic sorting allows words with
ligatures and diacritical marks. Applications treated are:
sorting with respect to report generation with TeX as a
database tool, sorting and compressing index.tex, Knuth's
index reminders file, and sorting control sequences
separately. It is illustrated by various examples that a
set can be sorted within TeX once the ordering of the
set is defined and encoded in a comparison macro, in
compliance with the parameter macro <tt>\cmp</tt>.<br>

<em>Manmac BLUes; or how to typeset a book via TeX</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 171-191<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> computer-assisted typography, manmac, style/format,
customizing, index preparation, plain TeX, fonts, macro
writing, education<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> The manmac macros are enumerated. A user's guide is
provided, and the encodings are explained. As enhancements
the writing of index reminders to the file index.tex is
elaborated upon, and how to incorporate AMS fonts and
non-CM fonts is referred to. In the appendixes I provided
the source of manmac and my personalized report template.
With respect to the latter, I played with the idea of
formatting the MAPS specials series in this way.<br>

<em>AMS BLUes; professionals at work</em>, English, MAPS <strong>10</strong>, 1993, pp. 192-212<br>
<strong>keywords:</strong> computer-assisted typography, math, bibliography, mark up,
typesetting, AMS-(La)TeX, (math and cyrillic) fonts,
plain TeX, macro writing, education<br>
<strong>abstract:</strong> The significance of the American Mathematical Society for
the TeX community at large, and more general the leading
role of the AMS in the area of professional
computer-assisted typesetting, is praised. AMS-TeX,
AMS-LaTeX, their accompanying styles amsppt.sty,
respectively amsart.sty, as well as AMS fonts are discussed.
AMS provides excellent user's and installation guides
along with the software and fonts, all in the public
domain. Despite the quality, an alternative approach -- and
in detail some alternative encodings -- are provided. A
publisher is strongly encouraged to take notice of the
computer-assisted publishing activities of this
pace-setting society. A new procedural idea with respect
to specifying and formatting bibliographies, given a
background file of all the references an author is
familiar with, is proposed to suit the author and the
publisher.<br>
