You can get it by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z. This version includes a modified lfonts.tex from LaTeX 1 Dec 91 (you can get this by ftp from archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]:TEX/TEX3/latex). Also a modified MakeTeXPK from dvips which tries to make these fonts at different magnifications when necessary (you can get dvips from labrea.stanford.edu, in pub/dvips*.tar.Z). The other change was rearranging things to keep the filenames less than 14 characters, for system V. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions. karl@cs.umb.edu From "karl@cs.umb.edu (Karl Berry)" Mon Jan 6 11:46:55 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.umb.edu by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA20250; Mon, 6 Jan 92 11:46:51 MST Received: from claude.cs.umb.edu by cs.umb.edu (4.1/1.34) id AA10795; Mon, 6 Jan 92 13:46:47 EST Received: by claude.cs.umb.edu (4.1/1.34) id AA22876; Mon, 6 Jan 92 13:46:44 EST Date: Mon, 6 Jan 92 13:46:44 EST From: karl@cs.umb.edu (Karl Berry) Message-Id: <9201061846.AA22876@claude.cs.umb.edu> To: schrod@iti.informatik.th-darmstadt.de Cc: beebe@csc-sun.math.utah.edu In-Reply-To: Joachim Schrod's message of Mon, 6 Jan 92 19:31:52 MEZ <9201061831.AA11168@hp5.iti.informatik.th-darmstadt.de> Subject: makeindex Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu No, still C. (But the new code parts are designed modular ;-) That's good. The old program was horrendous. (Eg, a raw index entry "{\sc Knuth, Don}" may be sorted as "Knuth, Don" or as "Knuth Don" without additional author invention; ie, the author does not need to specify this as an additional sort key.) That's good. I had to play lots of games with my macros to get this to work right. Well, can you tell me what the purpose of tex-archive is (at the moment)? I once believed it was for announcements of stuff which should be put on common archives. But is this really so? If yes, only programs? LaTeX styles? As I understand it, anything at all that is TeX related. No one has complained about my announcements on the things I maintain: eplain, web2c, modes.mf, and font naming, which is a pretty broad range of stuff. Ephemera is also fair game, like my modified MusicTeX. Nelson, correct me if I'm wrong here. K From "Wayne G.

The two most critical points were bibliographies (which led to strange error messages when they had more than 26 entries) and the titlepage style option (which did not work any more). Therefore I had release a corrected version. It is, as usual, on rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.1.12] (soft/tex/latex) and LISTSERV@DHDURZ1.BITNET For the benefit of those that have Larry wall's patch program I have put a file called LaTeX-Dec91-Jan92.diff into the Stuttgart archive. I append the readme for the update. One final remark: it was reported that there was one line in lfonts.tex with more than 80 characters. Therefore I broke this line into two and recommend that you either do the same or fetch this file as well. Rainer Sch"opf PS: ``I sincerely hope there won't be any more!'' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LaTeX version 2.09 -- Release of Jan 14, 1992 --------------------------------------------- After the release of Dec91 a number of errors and incompatibilities were reported. In particular, the titlepage option of the article document style did no longer work, and there were two problems with the thebibliography environment: - Documents with more than 26 entries would produce strange error messages. - Styles derived from article would produce wrong numbers. These errors (and a few minor ones) have been corrected. The files changed are (see also LATEX.BUG for more details): latex.tex local.tex lplain.tex slitex.tex splain.tex article.doc/sty art10.doc/sty art11.doc/sty art12.doc/sty book.doc/sty bk10.doc/sty bk11.doc/sty bk12.doc/sty openbib.doc/sty report.doc/sty rep10.doc/sty rep11.doc/sty rep12.doc/sty latex.bug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From "karl@cs.umb.edu (Karl Berry)" Mon Jan 27 12:19:08 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.umb.edu by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA27925; Mon, 27 Jan 92 12:16:24 MST Received: from claude.cs.umb.edu by cs.umb.edu (5.65c/1.34) id AA25782; Mon, 27 Jan 1992 14:16:17 -0500 Received: by claude.cs.umb.edu (4.1/1.34) id AA07743; Mon, 27 Jan 92 14:16:15 EST Date: Mon, 27 Jan 92 14:16:15 EST From: karl@cs.umb.edu (Karl Berry) Message-Id: <9201271916.AA07743@claude.cs.umb.edu> To: info-tex@shsu.BITNET, tex-archive@math.utah.edu Subject: Sauter's any size CM: Unix version 1.0 Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu I've again updated my packaging for Unix of John Sauter's Metafont files to make Computer Modern fonts at any point size.

Attached is FILESERV's description file for his TEXTURES_FIGS package. The package also includes a version of the macro file EPSF.TEX written originally by Tom Rokicki to include EPSF Graphics in TeX output utilizing the DVIPS utility. This version is modified to work on the Macintosh with TeXtures rather than dvips. It is intended to allow direct usage of files written for dvips to be TeX'ed and printed using TeXtures. For ftp retrieval, the macros are in [.TEXTURES_FIGS] on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) as FIGURE.MACROS --George =========================================================================== TEXTURES_FIGS ------------- The TEXTURES_FIGS package includes Peter Galko's figure macros for TeXtures. It is distributed in six parts to accommodate size-sensitive mailers. The five files, TEXTURES_FIGS.MACROS_%OF5, should be concatenated upon receipt and unBinHex'ed. The files represents a collection of macros which make it easy to place a graphic drawn using virtually any Macintosh graphic application and stored in a standard form in a TeXtures document. The macros can deal with graphics stored in the 'pictures part' of a TeXtures document, or as an external PICT file, or as an EPSF file. The graphic will be imported into the document and centred on the page according to dimensions given for the drawing, or in the case of an EPSF document, according to the drawing size specified in the EPSF document itself if you so desire. The drawings may be scaled by a fixed scale factor you may specify, be scaled to provide a given height or width as you choose, or may be nonuniformly scaled in width or height (this latter effect will not manifest itself in the preview, but rather will only appear in printing the result on a PostScript printer). An outline box surrounding the graphic can be automatically generated if so desired, as can a caption for the figure utilizing a standard format for captions. In addition to simply incorporating a document as a complete graphic in a TeXtures document, the macros provide an easy way to overlay text on a figure so that consistent precisely positioned labelling of a figure can be easily achieved. The macros simply required that the distance from the lower left hand corner of the bounding box of the figure (or any reference point relative to the corner) to a reference point for the text to be added be given, and it be indicated how the text is to be positioned relative to the specified reference point. The text can be horizontally centred, left justified or right justified relative to the reference point, and vertically positioned so that the baseline of the text is at the reference point, or the 'text axis' or math axis is at the reference point, or the top, middle, or bottom of the box which the text comprises is at the reference point. The text may also be rotated about the reference point (although this effect will not appear in the screen preview). Scaling and stretching effects do not modify the text being overlayed other than to move the position of the reference point on the printed page. Although the macros are written for TeXtures specifically, they should be readily ported to almost any system that prints on a PostScript printer. You may retrieve the entire package of 6 files by including the command: SENDME TEXTURES_FIGS in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). A complete distribution of this version of TEXTURES_FIGS requires all 6 files in this package, so this command is suggested.

Although not all files in the distribution have changed from version 2.0, it is recommended by the APS that users retrieve all files in this new version. I am attaching FILESERV's description file for your reference. For ftp users, these files are in the [.REVTEX] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8). --George =========================================================================== REVTEX ------ The REVTEX package includes the 10 files necessary for version 2.1 of REVTEX, the American Physical Society's macro package that runs on top of LaTeX. REVTEX produces Physical Review style, which is used by authors for submission and by the APS for production in its author-prepared program. All needed instructions for use are contained in the REVTEX.README file and in the accompanying documentation. You may retrieve the entire package of 10 files by including the command: SENDME REVTEX in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). A complete distribution of this version of REVTEX requires all 10 files in this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say REVTEX.README, use the command: SENDME REVTEX.README in your MAIL message to FILESERV.

David understands (and I can report >From experience) that the existing decalign.sty does not work within the context of Frank Mittelbach's array.sty (the existing dectab.sty is inconsistent, at least in my experience). There is user-level control over the separator used in the .tex file, and in the printed output (i.e, it may be defined to any character, not necessarily only ``.''). This style is a creative example of the \newcolumn system for defining new column types set up in David's newarray.sty (which is required for the use of dcolumn, was also recently announced, and is available from here as well, should you need it). To retrieve dcolumn.sty, include the command: SENDME STY.DCOLUMN in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If you need [a] newarray.sty, [b] Mittelbach's array package to create his array.sty (both are required to use dcolumn), or [c] the doc.sty file from Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf's multicol package (needed to create the documentation for all of the above), include the respective commands shown below on unique lines of your mail message to FILESERV: SENDME STY.NEWARRAY SENDME ARRAY SENDME MULTICOL.DOC_STY For anonymous ftp users, the files are on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) as [.STY]STY.DCOLUMN, [.STY]STY.NEWARRAY, all files in the [.ARRAY] directory, and [.MULTICOL]MULTICOL.DOC_STY.

The files were previously included in the STY package/directory. The set has become adequately large to warrant a unique package, so one was created for your access and the prior versions removed. --George =========================================================================== ASAETR ------ The ASAETR package includes the 8 files (distributed in 11 parts) necessary for version 1.0 of James Darrell McCauley's set of LaTeX and BibTeX styles, with documentation, to make your articles look like those in Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE). This is not official and not (yet) an accepted way to submit articles to ASAE. The American Society of Agricultural Engineers editorial staff encourages authors to submit electronic manuscripts in the following formats: MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works (preferably Version 2.0), WordPerfect (Version 5.0 or later), and WriteNow. Though LaTeX is not an accepted format to submit articles to ASAE, it does have utility when predicting page length and appearance of an article that you submit. Predicting page length is especially important when submitting "Technical Notes" (which cannot exceed two pages) and when trying to avoid unnecessary page charges. You may retrieve the entire package of 11 files by including the command: SENDME ASAETR in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). A complete distribution of this version of ASAETR requires all 10 files in this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say ASAETR.MANIFEST, use the command: SENDME ASAETR.MANIFEST in your MAIL message to FILESERV. For users of anonymous ftp, these files are available from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [.ASAETR] and the PostScript file is retained in one part as ASAETR_FTP.PS.

There are two primary forms of citation in the Harvard style, dependent upon whether the reference is used as a noun or parenthetically. To facilitate using a citation as a noun a new command \citeasnoun has been created which has the same syntax as the \cite command except that multiple citations are not permitted. Additionally, where there are more than two authors, all authors are listed in the first citation and in subsequent citations just the first author's name followed by `et al.' is used. Where appropriate, citations are abbreviated automatically after the first reference when bibliographies are produced by BibTeX. Provision is also made for this feature to be accessed during manual coding. There are three bibliography styles currently available within the Harvard family, AGSM (which is based on "Style Manual for authors editors and printers of Australian government publications"), DCU (which is based upon the conventions in use in the Design Computing Unit, Department of Architectural and Design Science, University of Sydney), and KLUWER (which aspires to conform to the requirements of Kluwer Academic Publishers). They are invoked by the \bibliographystyle within LaTeX and effect the layout of the entries in the bibliography. You may retrive the entire package of six files by including the command: SENDME HARVARD in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If, for some reason, you should only need one file, say, HARVARD.DCU_STY, include the command: SENDME HARVARD.DCU_STY in your request to FILESERV.

In it, I said: > If you need ... or [c] the doc.sty file from > Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf's multicol package (needed to create > the documentation for all of the above), include the respective commands > shown below on unique lines of your mail message to FILESERV: > ... > SENDME MULTICOL.DOC_STY Piet van Oostrum properly pointed out in article <1992Feb24.133618.19179@cs.ruu.nl> posted to comp.text.tex (and on to ctt-Digest) on 24 Feb 92 13:36:18 GMT: > The doc.sty forbids distribution of itself outside of the complete multicol > package. And subsequently, David posted to me in a private note: > I thought of [only retrieving the DOC.STY file alone], but unfortunately > doc.sty unconditionally inputs multicol.sty, this is for the index.

The proper (and requisite) command is *not* SENDME MULTICOL.DOC_STY; it properly is SENDME MULTICOL in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu); 2. I, too, know how to read and it is patently obvious in all of the files associated with MULTICOL that the package, in whole, is supposed to be distributed at one time -- I screwed up by trying to save a little bandwidth and I apologize for my ignorance; 3. I extend my sincerest apologies to both Frank and Rainer for suggesting that the single file out of any of their packages be retrieved individually -- I will never do this again; and finally, 4. I extend my sincerest apologies to anyone who retrieved only those files I identified and were unable to properly process the documentation. Might I suggest that, since an increasing number of authors are using doc.sty for documentation (a welcome movement since it is impossible to fetch a style without its documentation -- the largest cause of user error) and is a movement I personally wish was better documented for others to use, as well, that a DOC package be considered for development which is wholly independent of MULTICOL? Ideally, I guess I'm suggesting that it be capable of both including (for the use of authors) and extracting (for the use of end users) documentation. Possibly this already exists; if so, please pass it along to me or tell me where to fetch it from (with all the appropriate and requisite files 8-)).

(similarly, i had update access to the tug and ams subareas.) but since the end of the tex project, and probably more importantly, the demise of score and the move to labrea, access is more circumscribed, and it's up to someone in the stanford comp sci department to keep up. since knuth himself is no longer on the "front lines" of tex, and this maintenance isn't seen as critical, the quality of the maintenance depends on the personal interest of the volunteer. the aston, stuttgart, and shsu archives were created with the full support of the local administrations, and the archive maintenance is either an organized team, or (in the case of george greenwade at shsu) a dedicated faculty/staff person with a real reason for doing the job right. in all these cases, it has been made an officially sanctioned and supported operation -- institutionalized, if you like. ymir was established by an undergraduate who managed to get staff support, and though that support has made space available with no problem, the actual people time required hasn't been subdivided among a reliable group for whom it is a real part of their jobs. i don't mean to knock don hosek's enthusiasm and good intentions, but he's only one person and he's spread rather too thin. -- bb From "schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE (Rainer Schoepf)" Wed Feb 26 11:02:18 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from serv02.ZIB-Berlin.DE by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA05221; Wed, 26 Feb 92 10:57:36 MST Received: from dagobert.ZIB-Berlin.DE by serv02.ZIB-Berlin.DE (4.0/SMI-4.0-serv02/7.11.91 ) id AA28267; Wed, 26 Feb 92 18:55:51 +0100 Received: from quattro.ZIB-Berlin.DE by dagobert.ZIB-Berlin.DE (4.1/SMI-4.0/31.1.91) id AA07991; Wed, 26 Feb 92 18:55:47 +0100 Date: Wed, 26 Feb 92 18:55:46 +0100 From: schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE (Rainer Schoepf) Message-Id: <9202261755.AA07991@sc.zib-berlin.dbp.de> Received: by quattro.ZIB-Berlin.DE (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA07381; Wed, 26 Feb 92 18:55:35 +0100 To: BNB@MATH.AMS.COM Cc: tex-archive@math.utah.edu, mike@inrs-telecom.uquebec.ca In-Reply-To: Barbara Beeton's message of Wed, 26 Feb 1992 11:47:59 -0500 (EST) <699122879.700000.BNB@MATH.AMS.COM> Subject: [Gaulle Bernard : Obsolated materials on Labrea] Reply-To: Schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE Organization: Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum fuer Informationstechnik Berlin I have several remarks concerning Barbara Beeton's recent post to tex-archive. 1. *LaTeX*. There will be an up-to-date version of LaTeX at Labrea soon. I was relying on Leslie Lamport for the transport of the files to Labrea, but there were technical problems (like files arriving corrupted at his machine). After several unsuccessful attempts we decided that I will ship the LaTeX sources to labrea directly. This will take some time, as we have some problems with the connections here at Berlin at the moment, but I hope to complete this soon. 2. *Archives*. Barbara explicitly mentions the three archives at Aston (UK), Stuttgart (Germany), and SHSU (USA). I can only speak for the first two of these, as I'm actively involved in their maintainance. The Aston archive is managed by a group of volunteers scattered all over Europe. The Stuttgart archive is managed by DANTE, the german speaking TeX user's group. 3. *Obsolete material*. This is actually the heart of the whole discussion: an archive where old material is not deleted is of not much use after a while. Best example is the Clarkson style repository.

The new VMS_SHARE file has been installed on FILESERV/Niord for your convenience. Below is the description file for this package. My thanks are extended to Hunter for his efforts on this. --George =========================================================================== DVIDVI ------ The DVIDVI package includes Tony McGrath's port of Tom Rokicki's DVIDVI (version 0.5) program for VMS. DVIDVI lets you manipulate DVI files, performing tricks by extracting selected pages (or a selected ordering of pages) into a new DVI file. This newer port also provides fuller functionality in that it allows a user to extract certain pages from a document. The command: dvidvi m[n] file outfile will extract n pages starting at m. This is in addition to previously supported page reversal, extraction of only odd or even pages, preparation of folded brochures, and other items. The C source, along with a DCL build file and sample are provided. This version also includes Hunter Goatley's DUPLEX.COM, for poor-man's duplex printing. This package differs from the one which has been available previously from SHSU in that it uses C extensions to do the some things which the prior version relied on RMS calls to handle. The original DVIDVI created Stream_LF files under VMS; the VMS port of DVIPS V5.47 (as well as the new DVITYPE, the latest DECUS TeX programs, etc.) expects the file to consist of fixed-length, 512-byte records. This version of DVIDVI creates such files under VMS. Since this package is is specifically a VMS port and probably of interest only to VMS users, the sources necessary to rebuild this version are in a VMS_SHARE format. You may retrieve the VMS_SHARE file by including the command: SENDME DVIDVI in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).

Norm's obsession with collecting fonts clearly has a benefit for the TeX community. Below is the FILESERV description file for this new package. My thanks are extended to Norm for providing them for our distribution. --George =========================================================================== SFWARE ------ The SFWARE package includes four UUENCODEd ZIP files for Norm Walsh's (walsh@cs.umass.edu) utilities which allow you to download, rotate, compress, expand, view, and perform special effects on softfonts. The effects provided include bold, fill, convert to fixed spacing, halftone, hollow, invert, mirror, outline, convert to proportional spacing, resize, reverse, shade, shadow, slant, stripe, three-d, hollow-three-d, and filled-three-d effects. The effects can be tailored and customized for any font with various parameters and shading patterns. Sfware is distributed in four archive files: SFW100P1, SFW100P2, SFW100D1, and SFW100D2. The 'P' archives contain the programs and the 'D' archives contain documentation. It is absolutely vital that you have BOTH program archives before you try to use Sfware. These programs only work under MS-DOS. The menu-shell requires a hard disk and 400+kb of memory. The special effects cannot be applied to scalable fonts. These programs are shareware. What you need: SFW100P1.ZIP SFW100P2.ZIP These archives contain the programs for Sfware. You must get both of these archives or Sfware will not work! SFW100D1.ZIP SFW100D2.ZIP These archives contain the documentation. The "D1" archive documents the full-screen shell. The "D2" archive documents the command line utilities. It is recommended that you start with the full-screen shell and move on to the command-line interface if you find a need. These files are available for retrieval via mail by including the command: SENDME SFWARE in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file, say, SFWARE.SFW100D2_UUE_05OF13, include the command: SENDME SFWARE.SFW100D2_UUE_05OF13 in your mail message to FILESERV. The SFW100P1.ZIP, SFW100P2.ZIP, SFW100D1.ZIP, and SFW100D2.ZIP files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory [.SFWARE].

It is available by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{eplain/*,eplain.tar.Z} ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1]:TeX/eplain/eplain-2.0.tar.Z You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's file server if you cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of something like `SENDME EPLAIN.EPLAIN_TEX'. (George will be posting a message with more details soon.) It has been almost a year since Eplain 1.9. As you might expect, there are many changes. (Many bugs have concomitantly been introduced, I expect.) As far as I know, the changes are all upward-compatible. Here are some of the highlights: In btxmac: * generally more configurable * numeric labels are right-justified * spaces are ignored before optional arguments * page breaks are disallowed (by default) before the bibliography * support for multiple bibliographies * works (insofar as possible) with AMSTeX In eplain: * includes Steven Smith's ``arrow.tex'', a set of macros for producing commutative diagrams * includes Nelson Beebe's texnames.sty to define the various names of TeXware * a \verbatim macro to typeset inline verbatim stuff * lists are more configurable * the justification commands handle text on the same line as the command * support for subequations like (1.1a), (1.1b) * a new and (I hope) more robust implementation of \leftdisplays For those (no doubt many) of you who haven't heard of Eplain: it is a collection of macros intended to provide relatively low-level capabilities, regardless of how your document appears. For example, it has macros to do symbolic cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a section heading. It also has some definitions that make it easier to change the conventions of plain TeX's output. For example, it lets you produce left-justified math displays by simply saying `\leftdisplays'. karl@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to league@prep.ai.mit.edu.

Since we are the main mail repository (with ftp access for the individual files or the compressed tar file also), I am appending FILESERV's description file below. I extend my thanks to Karl for allowing us to work with him on this project. --George =========================================================================== EPLAIN ------ The EPLAIN package includes the macros for version 2.0 (March 5, 1992) of Karl Berry's Eplain for TeX. The eplain macro package expands on the definitions in plain TeX. Eplain is not intended to provide "intensional" typesetting capabilities, like LaTeX or Texinfo. Instead, it provides definitions that are intended to be useful regardless of the high-level commands that you use when you actually prepare your manuscript. To retrieve the complete EPLAIN package of 78 files, include the command: SENDME EPLAIN in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say EPLAIN.OUTER_TEX, use the command: SENDME EPLAIN.OUTER_TEX in your MAIL message to FILESERV. Anonymous ftp users can find these files on Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory [.EPLAIN]. A compressed U*ix tar (EPLAIN-2_0.TAR_Z) file is in this directory also.

While this is a more-or-less private reply, I think the dimensions fo it are something other TeX archivers ought ot be aware of. > Is there any likelihood that the requirement for mangled names for your > file server will go away? It really lessens the utility of the FTP access > having to rename anything once it's arrived. Two dimensions to this answer. First, I am hoping to install the new version of the TeXServer software once all of the bugs are out of it. I am not exactly sure what bugs exist, but Brian {HK} tells me some are still there.\footnote{I hope that, since this is now a public reply, I have not offended Brian {HK} nor misrepresented what I believe to be true.} At that point, we will work exactly as if you were connected to TeXServer@tex.ac.uk (i.e., our file names and directory structure will, or should be, a close if not exact mirror of tex.ac.uk). I imagine we will keep a parallel on FILESERV for a brief time period (probably three months) as we try and move people to the TeXServer command structure. Second, the installation of our new Unix machine may allow us to retain the VMS systems as VMS-like archives (with the mirror of Aston) and have a Unix-like archive/mirror for those users. Once this is in place (assuming I can argue my way into this), there will be absolutely no FILESERV-type filenames and that dimension of our services should look and feel like any other Unix ftp-able archive. I know our ftp access and re-naming is a hassle and it is one I am trying my honest best to overcome. In the interim, I am stuck with the structure due to software constraints. From a mail perspective, though, I believe we are serving a pretty good service (for example, over the weekend, we served nearly 1,200 files, even though we had some network problems; I know we have at least 22 more requests enqueued as I write this). I hope we can better serve the TeX community, appreciate your concern over the naming structure, and am more than willing to work with anyone to increase the utility of our services. Any input from anyone which can benefit what we are trying to do is what I am looking for.

While this is a more-or-less private reply, I think the dimensions fo it are something other TeX archivers ought ot be aware of. > Is there any likelihood that the requirement for mangled names for your > file server will go away? It really lessens the utility of the FTP access > having to rename anything once it's arrived. Two dimensions to this answer. First, I am hoping to install the new version of the TeXServer software once all of the bugs are out of it. I am not exactly sure what bugs exist, but Brian {HK} tells me some are still there.\footnote{I hope that, since this is now a public reply, I have not offended Brian {HK} nor misrepresented what I believe to be true.} At that point, we will work exactly as if you were connected to TeXServer@tex.ac.uk (i.e., our file names and directory structure will, or should be, a close if not exact mirror of tex.ac.uk). I imagine we will keep a parallel on FILESERV for a brief time period (probably three months) as we try and move people to the TeXServer command structure. Second, the installation of our new Unix machine may allow us to retain the VMS systems as VMS-like archives (with the mirror of Aston) and have a Unix-like archive/mirror for those users. Once this is in place (assuming I can argue my way into this), there will be absolutely no FILESERV-type filenames and that dimension of our services should look and feel like any other Unix ftp-able archive. I know our ftp access and re-naming is a hassle and it is one I am trying my honest best to overcome. In the interim, I am stuck with the structure due to software constraints. From a mail perspective, though, I believe we are serving a pretty good service (for example, over the weekend, we served nearly 1,200 files, even though we had some network problems; I know we have at least 22 more requests enqueued as I write this). I hope we can better serve the TeX community, appreciate your concern over the naming structure, and am more than willing to work with anyone to increase the utility of our services. Any input from anyone which can benefit what we are trying to do is what I am looking for. Possibly this is a topic we can discuss in Portland (assuming I can get our local administration to accept the fact that someone in the College of Business is involved in archiving and in electronic mail administration).

You can get version 1.2 by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z. This version puts in the bold-math.mf file that I somehow left out last time. It also adds two files to make the LaTeX symbol and bold symbol fonts, contributed by Friedrich Haubensak, hsk@infko.uni-koblenz.de. For all of the standard Computer Modern fonts, these files produce the same TFM files as Knuth's sources. So it is ok to call the output from these `cm...'. The distribution includes an lfonts.tex for LaTeX and a MakeTeXPK for dvips which take advantage of these fonts. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions. karl@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to league@prep.ai.mit.edu.

Sullivan" Subject: More Sauter parameterized fonts To: tex-archive@math.utah.edu Message-Id: X-Envelope-To: tex-archive@math.utah.edu We have found it convenient to use the Sauter parameter files not only for cm fonts, but for several other families which use mainly the cm parameters. We have set this up for Levy Greek WSU IPA Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic It would really be best if the original authors of the MF source made Sauter parameter files available, but to my knowledge that has not been done. If such parameter files are available on TeXservers, perhaps the managers of these servers should make this more widely known. There was not much work required to adapt the above fonts to the Sauter scheme, but it might save repetition of effort if parameter files for the above fonts were kept on a server. Two possible problems: (1) the original authors of the fonts might possibly object. (2) The Sauter parameter file names were originally in a form which is rather system-specific. Their use with different operating systems may need slight adjustment. If any archive is interested (and I do not hear any objection from original authors), I shall be willing to provide files in MS-DOS format.

Charles Franklin forwarded me his package for doing this, which is now available from FILESERV/Niord. Below is the FILESERV description file for the package. Thanks to Charles for contributing this to the TeX community and for allowing us to distribute it. --George =========================================================================== INCLUDE ------- The INCLUDE package includes a uuencoded .ZIP file including the Pascal source, executable, and documentation for Charles H. Franklin's INCLUDE utility (v1.5). This program replaces LaTeX "\include{myfile}" and "\input{myfile}" statements with the actual contents of the included file. "Inputfile", "outputfile" and "myfile"s are assumed to have extension ".tex" if none is given. If no "outputfile" is given, the output is written on "included.tex". "Inputfile" can be a TeX file or it can be a simple list of \include (or \input) statements. Included files may themselves contain \include or \input statements. This nesting can be up to 14 files deep. No file may include a file in which it is itself already included. To do so would cause an infinite loop. Charles notes in his contribution: > I've been using INCLUDE for about a year and it works fine for me. > However, no one else has tried it, so I expect to get bug reports from > those who try it. To retrieve INCLUDE, please include the command: SENDME INCLUDE in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).

These will all be installed on the Aston Archive over the next few days/weeks; as a start, the file [tex-archive.tex]tex.web is now the source of this latest revision, at v3.141. The change file for the VMS implementation will be found as [tex-archive.tex.vms]tex.ch. The previous two versions of the TeX source remain (for the time being) as [tex-archive.tex]tex.web-3-1 and [tex-archive.tex]tex.web-3-14; they may be deleted at some time in the future after change files for all other implemenations have been installed in the archive. [Note for fellow archivists (and anyone else that's interested): I have followed a new practice on this occasion --- the timestamp of the tex.web source has been manually edited to match that of the canonical source file at Labrea --- since the latter is timed at 05:10 local (presumably PST) on the 16th March, the Aston copy is timed at 13:10 GMT on the same day. I would strongly advocate that all other archives attempt to follow this practice: it helps both ourselves and our clients --- it would be even better if an FTP directory listing could be obtained with a fixed time datum, such as GMT! ] Brian {Hamilton Kelly} +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + JANET: tex@uk.ac.cranfield.rmcs + + BITNET: tex%uk.ac.cranfield.rmcs@ac.uk + + INTERNET: tex%uk.ac.cranfield.rmcs@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk + + UUCP: {mcsun,ukc,uunet}!rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk!tex + + Smail: School of Electrical Engineering & Science, Royal Military + + College of Science, Shrivenham, SWINDON SN6 8LA, U.K. + + Phone: Swindon (0793) 785252 (UK), +44-793-785252 (International) + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ From DHOSEK@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU Thu Mar 26 16:24:07 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from FRIGGA.CLAREMONT.EDU by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA01329; Thu, 26 Mar 92 16:20:57 MST Received: from HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU by HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU (PMDF #11000) id <01GI3SAG2MWGA5U4RU@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU>; Thu, 26 Mar 1992 15:20 PDT Date: Thu, 26 Mar 1992 15:20 PDT From: Don Hosek Subject: CWEB for 386/486 systems running DOS To: info-tex@shsu.BITNET, texhax@cs.washington.edu, tex-archive@science.utah.edu Message-Id: <01GI3SAG2MWGA5U4RU@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU> X-Vms-To: IN%"info-tex@shsu",TEXHAX,TEX_ARCHIVE A version of CWEB which runs on 386 and 486 PCs running DOS is now available from ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.ibm_pc.web]cweb386.zip The package is VCPI and DPMI compliant (although only VCPI compliance has been tested) and includes executables and Zortech C++ source.

Things have been sort of busy, so I've gotten a little behind. I will be sending out some notices within the next few days regarding updates which have been made, but are either undocumented or unannounced. This is my first set of announcements, so please bear with me. The first files of interest are two updates by David Carlisle to longtable.sty, and newarray.sty. longtable.sty defines the longtable environment, a multipage version of tabular. New in version 3: * The table does not have to start at the top of the page. * The documentation uses Mittelbach's doc.sty, so the documentation file longtable.tex is no longer needed. * Support for footnotes. * Many minor modifications. (One of the problems with using doc.sty is that it makes the author read his own code!) newarray.sty is an extension of Mittelbach's array.sty, which allows the user to easily specify new column types, and delimiters around the alignment. Also \extracolsep works with this style. Version 1 has a rather embarrassing bug in the treatment of @ and ! expressions. These were prematurely expanded inside an \edef, which may cause some rather spectacular errors. Please upgrade to Version 2 if you have a copy of Version 1. To retrieve either of these files, please include the commands: SENDME STY.LONGTABLE SENDME STY.NEWARRAY in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET). The second set of files were submitted by James Darrell McCauley . First is an update to endfloat.sty, which puts all LaTeX figures and tables on pages at the end of an article in individual sections (optionally labelled). In-text references can be made where the text of the table of figure should have been placed. This new version (1.2) provides internationalization in naming and verifies that the floats were used before a section is created for them. Include the command SENDME STY.ENDFLOAT in your mail to FILESERV to retrieve this file. Second in Darrell's submissions are cea.sty and cea.bst. These are the unofficial LaTeX and BibTeX style files for Elsevier's ``Computers and Electronics in Agriculture'' submissions, respectively. To retrieve these, include in your mail message to FILESERV: SENDME STY.ENDFLOAT SENDME STY.CEA* The third file set of interest is Peter Ungar's cropmark.tex, a TeX macro to produce cropmarks in plain TeX. Include the command SENDME STY.CROPMARK_TEX in your mail to FILESERV to retrieve this file. Finally, Darrel Hankerson submitted a clean-up of pagefoots.sty. This style numbers footnotes beginning on ``1'' for each page. By default, it uses the \fnsymbol to "number" the footnotes (this is controlled by the first line of \newfoots); and it gets rid of the usual footnote rule, and inserts more vertical space for footnotes. Include the command SENDME STY.PAGEFOOTS in your mail to FILESERV to retrieve this file. --George From bed_gdg@SHSU.edu Wed Apr 8 14:55:05 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from Niord.SHSU.edu by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA06570; Wed, 8 Apr 92 14:51:42 MDT Received: by SHSU.edu (MX V3.1) id 8987; Wed, 08 Apr 1992 13:12:38 CDT Sender: Date: Wed, 08 Apr 1992 13:11:57 CDT From: "George D.

Thank you very much. I've been meaning to post this since I put the files in place, so now's the appropriate time. --George BOXEDEPS -------- The BOXEDEPS package includes the files associated with Laurent Siebenmann's BoxedEPS, a highly portable package for insertion of EPSF (Encapsulated PostScript Files) in TeX documents. It is a fraction of a larger less portable package for several graphics norms on the Mac which was initially put together for the GUTenberg special year for graphics, 1989. Included in this package is a new file (BOXEDEPS.OZTEX) for OzTeX 1.4. OzTeX 1.4 interprets the Mac subdirectory delimiter ":" as a separator between keywords in the \special command. This breaks the use of subdirectories for included graphics files. You may retrieve the entire package of 3 files by including the command: SENDME BOXEDEPS in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET). A complete distribution of this version of BOXEDEPS requires all 3 files in this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say BOXEDEPS.OZTEX, use the command: SENDME BOXEDEPS.OZTEX in your message to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp retrieval, the files are available from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [.BOXEDEPS].

Greenwade" To: tex-archive@math.utah.edu Message-Id: <00958CE0.C9DDB180.9577@SHSU.edu> Subject: Coordinating/mirroring archives This is a question I have been puzzling over for some time now and I am hoping that someone else may have already dealt with it, at least conceptually, if nothing else. It would be ideal (my opinion, quite possibly only mine) to have a mechanism in place whereby the TeX archives out there could mirror one another automatically. This would allow for consistency in versions and updates with minimal pain to all of us (and, more important, our users). For now, I only wish to discuss the ftp-able archive areas since mail poses a problem outside the arena I want to consider at the moment. Recognizing that U*ix (Stuttgart, labrea, etc.) and VMS (ymir, Aston, SHSU) systems dominate the archive area poses an interesting dilemma. For now, please allow me to assume that away. Here is what I am really interested in being able to do: 1. Create/maintain comprehensive archives, such as Aston, ymir, Stuttgart, and (hopefully) SHSU. Put in place the ability to add/remove sites over time. 2. Allow retrieval access to non-comprehensive, but vital, archives to contribute and get into the comprehensive stream quickly and efficiently (i.e., get Karl's modes and eplain out of ftp.cs.umb.edu; get Daniel's MusicTeX out of rsovax.circe.fr; etc., in a timely manner *without* burdening them with files they have no interest/facilities/space/bandwidth/support/whatever in having on their systems). Indeed, I would hope that certain systems would serve as the "official" repository of certain files, but that those files were widely and quickly propogated and available (i.e., by no means should Frank and Rainer's work be "officially" housed aywhere other than their machine). I would assume (but am not imposing) that a consistent directory tree structure would be efficient in handling this sort of mirroring\footnote{If you want to flame wierd trees and filenames, we are probably the worst offender; I now have the space (Unix and/or VMS) to move to a wholly ftp-able directory tree --- this is why I am getting more concerned about how we handle this issue.} It would also be nice for users to know (or at least have more than a marginal idea) where to look for what. A colleague here and I am presently working on designing a mirror/update program between our VMS and Unix systems, evaluating filenames, filedates, and filesize for transfer between the systems to have the most current versions in place on each system. This is not trivial, and has been a good time consumer. Two questions arise: 1. Are any other TeX-related archivists interested in such a project (particularly along the comprehensive line)? 2. Does anyone know of existing software to do what Ken and I are working on for the machine-to-machine check and transfer (mirroring software, specifically)? If so, where can I get a copy to see how it handles some of the things we've come across (particularly the variations in case sensitivity, extensions, namings, images vs. ascii, etc.)? I hope to see at least some activity on these (and related) topics. If necessary, I can create (yet another) list to reduce traffic on tex-archive, if requested. Clearly, there are technical issues (how to get this done; appropriate protocol), as well as local policy issues (comprehensive vs. specific; directory structure) and staffing issues (probably need a central clearinghouse for placement within directories and filenames to minimize naming conflicts, etc.) which must be addressed here. Your ideas, either privately or on this list, will sincerely be appreciated. Regards, George %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% George D.

If so, where can I get a copy to see how it handles some of the things we've come across (particularly the variations in case sensitivity, extensions, namings, images vs. ascii, etc.)? There is a package written in perl that does exactly what you want. Since perl runs on nearly every Unix system, I'd say that this is already the solution for mirroring between Unix sites. There remains the question of VAX/VMS to be solved. I see three possibilities: a) Have the mirroring software run only on Unix sites. Since it can both get and put whole archive trees, the only thing that has to be rewritten are the directory/filename parsing routines to deal with VMS file specifications. (Forgetting about questions of access rights at the moment.) b) Port perl to VAX/VMS (unless it hasn't been done already?). Umpf! Lot's of work, though I don't think it is difficult in principle. c) Rewrite the package in VAX/VMS DCL. Hm! At least it is worthwhile to have a look at the features this mirror package offers. I can provide documentation to interested parties.

F. Beebe To: tex-archive@math.utah.edu Cc: beebe@math.utah.edu X-Us-Mail: "Center for Scientific Computing, South Physics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112" X-Telephone: (801) 581-5254 X-Fax: (801) 581-4148 Subject: Coordinating ftp'able archives Message-Id: George Greenwade asks whether a separate list should be established for the discussion of coordination of ftp'able TeX archives. Definitely NOT. That is a very important topic, and one of the reasons the tex-archive list got created. In Heidelberg in June 1990, I spent quite a bit of time talking to people about the archive coordination problem. At the time, none of us knew of any good solutions, other than rdist in UNIX. The problem with rdist is that it is quite stupid: it makes a net request for the time stamps of every file listed in the Distfile, and it requires that every file to be managed be explicitly listed in the Distfile. This means that it is hopeless for keeping archives of thousands of files up-to-date: it takes too long to get time stamps, and the Distfile has to be continually updated. At the University of Minnesota, the gopher project is addressing the issue of providing access to distributed archives. Front ends exist for the IBM PC, Apple Macintosh, X windows, and dumb terminals. I have the X window interface, xgopher, running here, and expect to start on the gopher server soon, in order to make the tuglib archive available via gopher. There are gopher server sites in the US, Europe, Middle East, and New Zealand, with more appearing all the time. There is even a Usenet discussion list. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, an X windows front end to netlib (from which tuglib is derived) has recently been released. The backend server code is not ready for distribution, but I've discussed with the developers my desire to have the backend available for tuglib access (and there are several other implementations of netlib around the world providing access to collections). They are interested in the possibility of servers sharing index information and providing proxy file transfer capabilities. gopher already partly does this, though it was intended initially for ASCII text, and doesn't have a binary file capability yet. I've put the Oak Ridge folks in touch with the Minnesota people. Finally, there is the archive server work at McGill University. archie is an archive of archives; it keeps indexes of holdings that other archives have, but not their contents. archie has been replicated on several other machines. It doesn't provide proxy file retrieval, only info about which archives have a particular file. It has an e-mail interface, a free login access, and an X windows interface (xarchie). Rather than going out and developing yet another approach to this problem, which is not just TeX-related, but now a worldwide one with thousands of archive sites and 600K+ (as of August 1990) hosts on the Internet, let's follow the archie, gopher, and xnetlib work and see whether they will soon offer a solution. ======================================================================== Nelson H.F.

This will be a BSD386 machine with a 1G disk dedicated to the archive. We intend to have that volume mounted from ymir so that there will be minimal visible interruption of service. By having the archive on its own machine in this fashion, we should also be able to provide some other services as well. For example, most "out of the box" archive tools are Unix-specific; better mail server facilities than the default PMDF mailserv will be accessible, etc. -dh From DHOSEK@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU Fri Apr 10 05:40:47 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from CBROWN.CLAREMONT.EDU by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA02750; Fri, 10 Apr 92 05:38:57 MDT Received: from HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU by HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU (PMDF #11000) id <01GINS16R2OK9JD298@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU>; Thu, 9 Apr 1992 22:48 PDT Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1992 22:48 PDT From: Don Hosek Subject: A standard directory tree?

My proposal would naturally be something like what's on ymir.

Sorry, but that's not the topic of the discussion. archie is an information provider, it tells where a packet might be. It does **not** organize automatic updates from reference hosts (let's say labrea) to large ftp sites (let's say rusinfo). Btw, talking about information services -- you have forgotten to mention WAIS (the wide area information services) and WWW (world wide web, an attempt for a global hypertext system). :-) > Rather than going out and developing yet another approach to this > problem, which is not just TeX-related, but now a worldwide one Exactly -- let's use the software available and in use worldwide. (Ie, the software used to create the *large* mirrors at wuarchive.wustl.edu, at src.doc.ic.ac.uk [that's the archive of the UK Unix Users' Group], at gatekeeper.dec.com, etc.) Check comp.archives.admin -- there are two packages in wide use for mirroring ftp sites. (This information is due to Ed Vielmetti.) 1. A package written in C 2. mirror, a package written in Perl The latter one was created by Lee McLoughlin from the UK UUG, I use it and am very satisfied with. (It's the same package Rainer spoke about. It will be used in Stuttgart.) According to Lee, it's used by more than 300 ftp sites worldwide. (I haven't used the first package, take this into respect while reading my following comments. ;-) Since I use mirror, I don't have to look for changes on labrea, ics.umb.edu, rusinfo, etc. If there are changed files they get fetched automatically and I receive a notice by email. That's all. File/directory renames, compression on the fly, split of big files, easy configuration -- no problems. At the moment it can only mirror UNIX sites, but this will be changed Real Soon Now. (The provisions are already there -- `just' a function has to be written which parses a VMS dir listing and puts the info in an assocative array.) To give you an idea, I've appended my configuration files for labrea and for the Internet RFCs at the end of the mail. They will give you an idea, how the system is used. Oh yes, you might fetch the system by anonymous ftp from ftp.th-darmstadt.de, directory pub/networking/misc, file mirror-2.0.13.THD-1.tar.Z. To summarize -- I agree fully with Nelson that one should not reinvent the wheel. One should use the systems which are used already on the large ftp sites, eg, mirror. -- Joachim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Joachim Schrod Email: schrod@iti.informatik.th-darmstadt.de Computer Science Department Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany ---------------- the following file, mirror.defaults, is used for the setup ---------------- of defaults for other configuration files. ---------------- ---------------- NOTE: File names are UNIX regexp's ! #

Well, my proposal is naturally the one we have at Stuttgart. But I admit that there are several questionable decisions. One thing I find very important is to separate a possible living TeX implementation from the archive. The result will always be a compromise, since the former is made so that TeX will most easily find what it needs, whereas the latter has to be set up so that the innocent user can most easily find what (s)he is looking for.

Well, -my proposal is naturally the one we have at Stuttgart. But I admit -that there are several questionable decisions. So naturally, I bring up a few questions: -FILES - Complete recursive listing of the whole directory tree. -FILES.Z - Compressed version of FILES.Z. -INDEX - This file. -LIESMICH - German version of the README file. -README - General README file. For the benefit of archives hosted on non-Unix systems, I'd propose tacking 00 to the beginning of files of this ilk and adding .txt to the end. -ams - Software distributed by the American Mathematical Society. - (mirrors e-math.ams.com) I've expressed my complaints with the AMS' appropriation of a whole archive for themselves, but I'm willing to give in if necessary. It does set a unpleasant precedent. -arabtex - A LaTeX extension for high-quality arabic writing. It would probably make sense to have a babel subtree for language support. This would include hyphenation, arabtex, ivritex, jtex, etc. -bibtex - Software for the BibTeX bibliography database filter. I've pulled out the code and just made this .bst and .bib files and a few minor related programs (but not things like bibindex). Comments? -dante - Items referring to the German speaking TeX Users Group. At first I was thinking that this should be in foreign languages, but I realized it really would be better as a top-level archive or as part of a users group sub-archive including gut, uktug, tug, etc. -digests - Digests of the TeXhax, TeXMaG, and UKTeX mailing lists. I have periodicals which includes tugboat and TeX&TUG news. Thoughts? -documentation - Documentation about TeX. Includes FAQ list and such. Same -drivers - All kinds of .dvi driver programs. - (one subdir for every type of driver) Same -education - Teaching TeX and LaTeX. I don't have this at all or if I have some of the files, they're in documentation. I do like it. -eplain - Karl Berry's extended plain format. Personally I prefer to keep all the various macro packages in subdirs of inputs. -fonts - Metafont sources, pixel files, .tfm files, - PostScript fonts, etc. - (subdirectories: metafont postscript pk-files - gf-files tfm-files) I prefer to have MF sources in their own subdir. -graphics - Tools for inclusion of graphics in TeX documents. Ditto. -hints - Read this if you don't know what to do. A subdir or a readme-type file? -hyphenation - Hyphenation patterns for different languages, - and related files. I think it should be part of babel. It seems somewhat counter-intuitive to look for german.sty in hyphenation (assuming I'm interpretting your description correctly). -incoming - Directory for submissions by YOU! Don't have one for technical reasons. Will be changed in the move to Unix. -indexing - Tools for processing and sorting an index. I put these in individual subdirs under utilities -japanese-tex - Japanese TeX. In Babel? -lamstex - LAmS-TeX, by Michael D. Spivak. -latex - The original LaTeX source distribution. -latex-style-supported - - User contributed LaTeX styles and style options that - are supported by their author(s). -latex-style-unsupported - - Unsupported user contributed LaTeX styles and style - options. Use at your own risk! Nice distinction on the LaTeX styles. I'd put all these as subdirs under utilities myself. -machines - machine specific software: for Macs, MS-DOS, Atari ST, - Amiga, Unix, etc. - (one subdirectory per machine type) It's kind of tough determining when to put something here. no? it is useful though. -mathematica - The TeX/Mathematica Interface. No comment. -mf-sources - Metafont, the program. -mf2ps - A variant of Metafont to produce PostScript directly. -mfware - Tools related to Metafont. -music - Music TeX: typeset music with TeX! There are actually several separate Music typesetting packages: mTeX, MusicTeX, etc. -pictex - Do graphics wiht TeX and LaTeX. Why not under graphics? -plain-macros - Various macro-packages built on plain TeX. Where does plain.tex live? -teaching - Alternate name for education. Any special reason? -tex-implementors - - Messages from the TeX implementors mailing list. I've got this along with notes on different systems although most of those notes are out of date. -tex-macros - Alternate name for plain-macros (to go away). -tex-sources - TeX, the program. -texbook+metafontbook - - Files used in those publications. -text1 - The TeXt1 macro package, developed at Washington - State University. -texware - Tools related to TeX. -tug - Files supplied by the TeX Users Group (TUG). -tugboat - Files related to articles published in TUGboat, - the journal of the TeX Users Group. -utilities - Various TeX-related utility software. -web - The WEB system of structured documentation. - (contains cweb and spiderweb as subdirs) -xypic - The XY-pic macro package for AMS-TeX, plain TeX, LaTeX, - and AMS-LaTeX for typesetting diagrams. Why not under graphics? -ytex - The YTeX macro package. -dh From BNB@MATH.AMS.COM Fri Apr 10 10:22:26 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from VAX01.AMS.COM by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA03931; Fri, 10 Apr 92 10:19:00 MDT Received: from MATH.AMS.COM by MATH.AMS.COM (PMDF #12735) id <01GIOKAYF3H8CNQHJV@MATH.AMS.COM>; Fri, 10 Apr 1992 12:18 EST Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1992 12:18:27 -0400 (EDT) From: bbeeton Subject: RE: (121) A standard directory tree?

No objection. I've expressed my complaints with the AMS' appropriation of a whole archive for themselves, but I'm willing to give in if necessary. It does set a unpleasant precedent. Hmmm, one thing one could do is to set up one subtree that mirrors exactly the other archives, something like ...mirrors/ mirrors/e-math.ams.com/... mirrors/labrea.stanford.edu/... and have links from other parts of the archive to there (for VMS: secondary file pointers). I have something like this in the near future anyway, when I get the automatic mirroring software running. It would probably make sense to have a babel subtree for language support. This would include hyphenation, arabtex, ivritex, jtex, etc. Yes. Perhaps we should call it language-support instead of babel.

However, if you are going to follow the thread of what I am going to be bothering some or all of you about, you need these reference points. I guess I need to quit being surreptitious regarding my postings to tex-archive about mirroring, comprehensive vs. specialized archives, etc. I have recently accepted Michael Ferguson's (Chair of the newly-created TUG Technical Council) invitation to serve as Chair of TUG's Technical Working Group (TWG) on Archive Guidelines. Below are (1) an outline of the heirarchy involved, as well as the mandate for the TWG, as proposed; (2) my reply and immediate suggested modifications to the proposed mandate; and (3) my request for comments and suggestions (condolences?) regarding the project. =========================================================================== Outline ------- The primary intent of the Technical Council is to evaluate technical issues, and recommend actions concerning TeX and its related systems, so that a stable, consistent, and effective environment for document preparation and production may be maintained. In order to carry out these activities, the Council shall appoint Technical Working Groups to study an issue, and to report its findings and recommendations to the Council. Any recommendation will be subject to ``Certification'' by the Council before being brought to the Board of Directors for ratification. The exact nature of the Certification Process will be dependent upon the action recommended and is a subject of further study. Technical Working Groups: A Technical Working Group shall consist of a Technical Working Group Chair, Technical Working Group Members, and a Technical Council Liason. -- The Technical Council Liason shall be a permanent member of the Technical Council. The Liason shall be responsible for timely reporting of Working Group activities, and for the deposition of all Working Group Reports and Recommendations to the Council. -- The Technical Working Group Chair shall be appointed by the Technical Council. The Working Group Chair shall be solely responsible for the study procedure and structure of the Working Group. All Technical Working Group members shall serve at the discretion of the Working Group Chair. -- A Technical Working Group shall have a mandate to be determined by the Technical Council. -- Each Technical Working Group shall make a report of its activities at each TUG Board of Director's meeting. -------------------------------------------------------------------- WG-92-05: Title: TeX Archive Guidelines Mandate: The purpose of this Technical Working Group is to develop guidelines for the effective management and utilization of major TeX archives, and to initiate communication among the maintainers of the existing archives for the purpose of coordination and synchronization. Areas to be considered include, but are not limited to: - what physical resources are needed - what kind of management support is desireable - what personnel resources are necessary and how should they be organized - breadth and depth of coverage, general and specific subject archives - strategies for organizing and managing the archive holdings - strategies for archive synchronization - dissemination strategies of archive contents - should there be "official" archives Technical Working Group Chair: George Greenwade Technical Council Liason: Alan Hoenig =========================================================================== My Response and Modifications ----------------------------- I am in full agreement that some form of coordination is a prerequisite for more extended use of the network as support, development, and coordination mechanisms for all aspects of TeX. Given the sheer growth of the Internet and its amazing growth rate, we will soon be (if we are not already) confronted by some serious coordination problems. Please allow me to provide the following comments and concerns for your consideration. \section{What needs to be done?} The generalized communications between archivers dimension is already quasi-addressed by the tex-archive@math.utah.edu list. Depending on specifically what is determined, it is possible that this list needs to be redefined in scope and purpose. Alternately, it may be that a two-level list be created, one for ``major'' archivers and one for ``general interest'' archivers. I would hope that this/these media would largely address the ``dissemination strategies of archive contents'' item listed above. It may be that the comp.text.tex FAQ and (especially) FAQ Supplement may serve as a generalized public catalog of what is where. Much of this relies on the questions immediately below. The critical ordering of the questions, in my view, are: - should there be "official" archives? - if so, should there be a mirror of this archive? - subordinately, if so, should there be multiple mirrors? - depending on how the above are answered, ``strategies for organizing and managing the archive holdings'' and ``strategies for archive synchronization'' become increasingly or decreasingly important. Once determined, - what physical resources are needed - what kind of management support is desireable - what personnel resources are necessary and how should they be organized become virtually secondary as the existence of an official archive creates an official directory structure (which we are sorely in need of). Moreover, if this is possible, the manpower requirements will essentially be focused at one and only one site worldwide as the updating software should be able to properly locate transfers to proper directory and filename specifications. A very interesting question remains, however: - breadth and depth of coverage, general and specific subject archives It would be a serious mistake to disallow specialized archives, such as Karl Berry's eplain and modes at ftp.cs.umb.edu. Somehow, there must be a mechanism so that the official archival software can easily be notified of updates so it can access and include these files. It would be a shame to penalize anyone for creating, maintaining, and managing a specialized archive. =========================================================================== Request for Comments, Suggestions, and Interest ----------------------------------------------- First, I want to thank Joachim for pointing out the mirror software sometime back. I intended to respond immediately, but have been very involved as an expert witness/economist on a multi-million civil lawsuit here in Texas (which in the past few weeks, beginning virtually seconds after my post, has taken up an enormous amount of time). I have played with the mirror software on pip.SHSU.edu (our HP/UX) and am quite pleased with it's performance. The issue of filename parsing is not trivial and (at least) a VMS->U*ix/U*ix->VMS, as well as a VMS->VMS implementation need to be be looked at (if one isn't already otherwise available). I have come across the platform-independent public domain version of ZIP and UNZIP (I know that a newer version of one of these is coming out soon) which handles directories, dates, filenames, etc., very nicely and is (best I can tell) compatible with PK*ZIP (although it seems to be about 10-20% more efficient in terms of performance that the PK*ZIP standards). Possibly, at least between a few sites, ZIP'ed code may be the way to handle some of these issues. For certain packages, I've already considered using ZIP as the sole ftp'able source since the ZIP files are smaller than tar.Z files, as well (which helps with economizing on storage devices). It is important to point out that ZIP/UNZIP remains ignorant on U*ix->VMS and U*ix->DOS filename parsing when multiple periods occur, though (at least in its current version; last I have is UNZIP V4.2 [March 20, 1992] and ZIP V1.0 [September 29, 1991]). I can make these available for FILESERV/anonymous ftp access, if anyone is interested (it is the C source code with various makefiles, rather than the executable). Finally, I've been watching the discussions on a few other lists. I've almost come to the conclusion that, based on record differences (if nothing else), parsing U*ix to VMS may not be possible/practical. If this is the case, I don't know how to proceed, short of one site running parallel U*ix and VMS archives and somehow coordinating between the two (which, while I cannot commit the resources presently, I have been led to very strongly believe may be a possibility at SHSU). Any comments, suggestions, indications of interest in working on this, offers of technical know-how, etc., will be warmly appreciated. I do plan to keep this project (at least initially) as public as possible and do appreciate Nelson's okay to use tex-archive as a sounding board (we may have to get another list running at a later date; if so, reports will be returned to tex-archive). I have never claimed to be anything other than an economist with an interest in this area, so technical developments along these lines will be totally dependent upon someone other than me.

Below is his announcement, as well as a portion of FILESERV's description file. I truly extend my thanks to Norm for working on this, as well as working with me in getting these archived. --George -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I'm pleased to announce the release of new versions of PktoSFPto, SFPtoPK, and MergeSFP. PKtoSFP and SFPtoPK have been in beta-testing for a while now and appear stable enough for a general release. If you do experience any problems, don't hesitate to let me know. The major new feature in SFPtoPK and PKtoSFP is support for HP AutoFont Support files. AutoFont Support files are a "standard" that HP is promoting for font metric information. They serve much the same purpose as the AFM files that Adobe provides with their PostScript fonts. I believe that many of the commercial font vendors now supply AutoFont Support files with their fonts and I know that many of the font-rendering programs (like MoreFonts and HP Type Director) can create AutoFont Support files. In SFPtoPK, AutoFont Support files provide better metrics to use when constructing the TeX TFM file. All of SFPtoPK's options for doing things like kerning and spacing are imperfect (good, I claim, but imperfect). If you have an AutoFont Support file, you can get good metrics without all of the approximation. In PKtoSFP, the advantage is that, by creating AutoFont Support files, the fonts created can be used in a wider range of applications. For example, WordPerfect cannot use softfonts unless you purchase a special third-party installation program. However, if you have AutoFont Support files for your softfonts, you can install fonts into WP with nothing more than PTR (if anyone is particularly interested, I also have a program that creates AutoFont support files directly from softfonts). MergeSFP, I admit, is basically a recompilation with some incremental improvements in the font-reading code. The documentation is also a bit improved. I haven't had any enhancement requests, so I haven't done much with MergeSFP. In summary, the new releases are: PK2SF210.ZIP (PKtoSFP vers 2.10) SF2PK200.ZIP (SFPtoPK vers 2.00) MRGSF130.ZIP (MergeSFP vers 1.30) Notice that I've renamed the archive files in order to place version numbers in the name. These versions supercede all other versions of these programs. As I said before, please feel free to send me your comments about these programs. I'll do everything I can to help out if you have a problem and I'm always willing to entertain enhancment requests. norm 5/1/92 P.S. If there is sufficient interest, I can provide a program that creates TeX TFM's directly from AutoFont Support files (without the intervening softfont).

This version fixes a number of small bugs that were discovered after the release of v1.00 and adds one new special effect (tilt--which rotates characters to any angle). A complete list of the fixes/improvements made since v1.00 is attached below. It's worth pointing out that Shareware Magazine can make favorable reviews -- this package is one they actually liked. Attached are Norm's list and FILESERV's description file for this package. Again, my sincerest thanks are extended to Norm for working with me in getting this archived. --George -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Here is a (nearly) exhaustive list of the fixes/improvements since v1.00: SfFx: compression flag was random, resize sometimes truncated the right-most and/or bottom-most rows of pixels, fill sometimes updated the font descriptor cell-size incorrectly, mirror wasn't adjusting the font descriptor baseline correctly, improved inter-character spacing in the slant effect, resize (at integral magnifications) looks better (no rounding errors can occur). SfRotate: the font header wasn't being updated correctly. SfView: now starts at first character in font rather than at ASCII 0 when run SfInfo: was failing to close each font file, could cause the "too many open files" error to occur. SfGraph: graphics background color of 0 (black) no longer fails General: improved scalable font detection. Boy, that list sure looks long! My appologies if anyone got bitten by any of these. No one reported any problems which, I figure, means one of three things: 1) no one is using Sfware (I hope that's not true), 2) no one found any of these problems (except me, and I hope that _IS_ true), 3) everyone is too shy to tell me when they find a problem. All I can say about #3 is, please send me _any_ comments you have (good or bad). I'll do everything I can to help you out, and I don't bite (I promise ;-). norm 5/1/92 P.S: obTeX: I use Sfware in combination with PKtoSFP and SFPtoPK to use these neat effects with TeX all the time... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SFWARE ------ The SFWARE package includes four UUENCODEd ZIP files (in 46 mailable parts) for Norm Walsh's (walsh@cs.umass.edu) Sfware utilities (version 1.1A) which allow you to download, rotate, compress, expand, view, and perform special effects on softfonts. The effects provided include bold, fill, convert to fixed spacing, halftone, hollow, invert, mirror, outline, convert to proportional spacing, resize, reverse, shade, shadow, slant, stripe, three-d, hollow-three-d, and filled-three-d effects. The effects can be tailored and customized for any font with various parameters and shading patterns. One new special effect has been added in 1.1A -- tilt --which rotates characters to any angle. Sfware is distributed in five archive files: SFW11AP1, SFW11AP2, SFW11AD1, SFW11AD2, and SFW11AEX. The 'P' archives contain the programs and the 'D' archives contain documentation. It is absolutely vital that you have BOTH program archives before you try to use Sfware. The EX archive is (relatively) small and contains a "sample sheet" that will give you a feel for Sfware before you download the whole thing. These programs only work under MS-DOS. The menu-shell requires a hard disk and 400+kb of memory. The special effects cannot be applied to scalable fonts. These programs are shareware. In summary, what you need: SFW11AP1.ZIP SFW11AP2.ZIP These archives contain the programs for Sfware. You must get both of these archives or Sfware will not work! SFW11AD1.ZIP SFW11AD2.ZIP These archives contain the documentation. The "D1" archive documents the full-screen shell. The "D2" archive documents the command line utilities. It is recommended that you start with the full-screen shell and move on to the command-line interface if you find a need. SFW11AEX.ZIP This is an examples archive. It is considerably smaller than the others and contains an over-view as well as an examples page (to print on your laser printer) that will give you a feel for the kinds of things Sfware can do. If you know you want Sfware, you don't need SFW11AEX.ZIP. These files are available for retrieval via mail by including the command: SENDME SFWARE in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file, say, SFWARE.SFW11AD2_UUE_5OF9, include the command: SENDME SFWARE.SFW11AD2_UUE_5OF9 in your mail message to FILESERV.

Then just enter a Start page and End page value in the dia- log, and there is a very good chance that everything will work. The bug is located in the inputlines of that dialog, and I will fix it in the next release.

I have retrieved the files and made them available on FILESERV and Niord. FILESERV's description file follows. Regards, George -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SEMINAR ------- The SEMINAR package includes Timothy Van Zandt's version 0.92 of seminar.sty and related files to use in making slides. seminar.sty is a LaTeX document style for typesetting slides or transparencies, and accompanying notes. It has many advantages over SliTeX. Here are some of the style's special features: * You can use any fonts that work with LaTeX, including PostScript fonts and AmSFonts. * Slides can be landscape and portrait within the same file. * Color is supported through PostScript. * It is a LaTeX style, rather than another format. * It is compatible with AmS-LaTeX. * The slides can have a frame and a colored background. * The magnification can be changed with a single command. * Overlays can be produced from a single slide environment. * Accompanying notes, such as the text of a presentation, can be put outside the slide environments. The slides, notes or both together can then be typeset in a variety of formats. Some of these features require a PostScript output device. To retrieve the complete package of 33 distribution files, please include the command: SENDME SEMINAR in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file from this package, say, SEMINAR.XCOMMENT_DOC, include the command: SEMINAR.XCOMMENT_DOC in your mail message to FILESERV. All DVI documentation files associated with this package have been UUENCODEd and split for mail distribution. For anonymous ftp access, the files reside in the [.SEMINAR] directory tree of Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8). The individual files are in the [.DOC], [.INPUTS], and [.SRC] subdirectories of [.SEMINAR]. Alternately, a compressed U*ix tar file, a compressed VMS backup saveset, and a DOS-compatible ZIP file of the tree and files are in SEMINAR-V0_92.TAR_Z, *.BCK_Z, and *.ZIP, respectively.

You can get version 1.3 by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z. This release adds parameter files for the Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic, contributed by Glenn Thorbe and Wayne Sullivan (wsulivan@irlearn.ucd.ie). For all of the standard Computer Modern fonts, these files produce the same TFM files as Knuth's sources. So it is ok to call the output from these `cm...'. The distribution includes an lfonts.tex for LaTeX and a MakeTeXPK for dvips which take advantage of these fonts.

You can get it by ftp from (at least): (Boston) ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{web,web2c}.tar.Z (California) ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1]:TeX/{web,web2c}.tar.Z. Send bug reports to me. There are no new features in this release, just bug fixes. I've updated my modified xdvi and dvips which use the same path searching code. They are on ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex also. Some people have asked me about the relationship between my releases and the Unix TeX tape available from the Northwest Computing Support Center at the University of Washington. The answer is that my directory `src-5.851/' which the tar files unpack into becomes the directory `TeX3.141/' on the tape; there are not two diverging ports. The UW tape also includes all the fonts, macros, DVI drivers, and other good stuff that you need to have a working TeX system. The Northwest Computing Support Center is supported only by the revenues from the preparation and distribution of tapes, and is required to be fully self-supporting.

He has kindly passed them along for our archives and your use. Below is the description file. --George -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ASTROSYM -------- ASTROSYM includes Peter Schmitt's MetaFont code to create an AstroSym font containing the astronomical symbols used for the planets and the signs of the zodiac. The shapes of the symbols are taken >From various sources. For some symbols more than one shape was found -- for these symbols variants are included. The shapes were reviewed by some historians and astronomers, and the `main shape' reflects their preference. The main style used for the symbols in AstroSym is calligraphic (strokes of varying breadth). An additional version uses a uniform stroke. It is supplied in two variants (thin and thick strokes). The size of the symbols, and the breadth of the stroke, can easily be changed in the driver file. The MetaFont code of AstroSym uses the plain base, but is completely independent of the cm-fonts. The AstrSym-font contains the following characters: calligraphic style: \char0 - \char10 : main shape - the planetary system \char11 - \char22 : main shape - the signs of the zodiac \char23 - \char28 : variant shapes uniform stroke, bold : \char100 - \char128 uniform stroke, thin : \char200 - \char228 To retrieve the complete ASTROSYM package of seven files, include: SENDME ASTROSYM in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). If, for some reason, you should require only a specific file from this set, say, ASTROSYM.UNI, include: SENDME ASTROSYM.UNI in your mail message to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp access, the files are in the [.ASTROSYM] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8). In addition to the individual files, a ZIP file (00_ASTROSYM.ZIP) is available.

This version includes two files from Sebastian Rahtz for using Lucida with NFSS. I haven't tested them myself. These files will be of no use to you unless you also have the Type 1 PFA/PFB/etc. files with the outlines. This includes the math fonts as a (more or less) drop-in replacement for Computer Modern. I've worked some on the magic math font parameters, but no doubt improvements are possible. I used virtual fonts to do this. I suggest using Tom Rokicki's dvips as your DVI-to-PostScript program. dvips is on labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z. Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz, who did much of the initial work, and Chuck Bigelow and Kris Holmes, who designed the typefaces. karl@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to league@prep.ai.mit.edu.

Regards, George ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcing MergeSFP v1.31 MergeSFP to is a free utility from Small Planet Software. MergeSFP combines multiple HP softfont files into a single softfont. MergeSFP is an MS-DOS program. MergeSFP v1.31 fixes two small bugs present in the 1.30 release. Through an oversite on my part, the sample .MRG files distributed with MergeSFP use an equal sign to seperate /master option from it's parameter (i.e. /master=#1). The documentation states that a colon should be used (and, in fact, the option isn't recognized with the "="). I've change MergeSFP so that either a colon or an equal sign can be used. Additionally, the /symset options didn't have any effect in MergeSFP v1.30. Features in brief: - many options for defining the output softfont - handles class 2 compressed softfonts - Complete documentation provided in a DVI file. Caveats: (Hey, I gotta be fair...) - The source code is not available (at present, anyway). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Announcing PKtoSFP v2.11 PKtoSFP to is a free utility from Small Planet Software. PKtoSFP converts TeX fonts into LaserJet softfont files. PKtoSFP is an MS-DOS program. The significant change from 2.10 to 2.11 is the correction of a long-standing bug in the way that PKtoSFP reads TeX PK files. Without going into too much detail, every character definition in a PK file begins with a "flag byte" that indicates what kind of character header is used for the following character. PKtoSFP (prior to v2.11) misinterpreted some flag values. This could have resulted in a corrupt SFP file but was more likely to cause PKtoSFP to issue an "insufficient memory" message. I've converted hundreds of fonts and (so far) have only found one font that used this flag byte (a PS2PK'd version of an "illuminated manuscript"-like font). Secondarily, I've fixed a deficiency in PKtoSFP that caused it to ignore the high-order part of a /type number larger than 255. Features in brief: - Converts directly from PK files (allowing up to 256 characters/font) - Automatically handles the \L slash character at position '040 in the TeX font (so your softfont doesn't have a non-blank space). - Handles PK fonts created for other (non 300x300dpi) output devices. - Complete documentation provided in a DVI file. Caveats: (Hey, I gotta be fair...) - The source code is not available (at present, anyway).

For your reference, the description file is attached below. Regards, George -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ADDRESS ------- The ADDRESS package includes the macro files and presentation paper of Jackie Damrau and Michael Wester's ADDRESS macro set. From the abstract of the paper ("Form Letters with 3-Across Labels Capability" presented at the 1991 TUG meetings in Dedham, MA): [ADDRESS presents] a general-purpose program for generating form letters, using either TeX or LaTeX. Given three inputs: a preamble file for initializations, a list of blank separated addresses, and a letter template, this program can be used to generate a letter per address and provide personalizations as directed by the template. Sample applications are presented, including one which constructs 3-across mailing labels. Thus, both form letters and mailing labels can be generated from the same list of addresses by simply changing two inputs to the program. You may retrieve the entire package of 10 files by including the command: SENDME ADDRESS in the body of a mail mesasge to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). A complete distribution of the ADDRESS macro set requires all 10 files in this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say ADDRESS.README, use the command: SENDME ADDRESS.README in your message to FILESERV. For users with anonymous ftp facilities, these files are available from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [.ADDRESS]; a shar file of the complete package is available in the directory [.ADDRESS.FTP].

Rose's February 24, 1992 release (Version 2.5) of XY-pic and XPPT. XY-pic is a macro package for AMS-TeX, plain TeX, LaTeX, and AMS-LaTeX for typesetting diagrams with the following characteristics: -- Specified as a matrix of entries aligned in rows and columns. -- Any entry may be connected to any other entry using arrows that are automatically rotated and stretched as required to meet their target; a variety of arrow styles may be used. -- Arrows may be decorated with labels that are `tied` to a specified point of the arrow independent of its direction. -- Special support for arrows that cross each other, arrows that `go by' other entries, combined arrows, and arrows that bend around other entries. -- Support for entries and arrows that are independent of the matrix structure. XPPT is a document style for AMS-TeX that extend the standard AMSPPT `pretty-print' and compatible styles. Highlights include: -- cross-references, -- automatic numbering of headings, captions, and theorems, -- table of contents generation, -- Bib-TeX bibliography interface, -- inclusion of `verbatim' program text, and -- options for 8-bit characters, RCS interface, and much more.

This package contains a number of new commands for use in math mode, and a new document style option ``module'', for modularizing large .sty files. The St Mary's Road symbol package contains a font designed to complement the AMS symbol fonts by adding symbols for domain theory, linear logic, process theory and program calculation, including the double square brackets. By defining over 100 new commands, the package provides support for new: -- large operators -- binary operators -- relations -- arrows -- delimiters -- special symbols used for building other symbols To accommodate TeX implementations with limited memory, these symbols can be added selectively via the innovative module approach used in this package. Also, support is provided for the Old Font Selection Scheme and the New Font Selection Scheme.

In the DIAGRAMF package, TeX and MF communicate by auxiliary files, in a similar fashion to the MG TeX-PostScript interface (`Problems on the TeX/PostScript/graphics interface', TUGboat 11(3)). When you run MF on an *.MF file, it reads in a related *.DIM file, which specifies the dimensions of all the boxes. From this, MF calculates where to put each label, and outputs a .DIA file, containing TeX code. Similarly, when TeX encounters the instruction \diagramfile{*} it loads in *.DIA and produces *.DIM. And so we can have our MF cake and eat it in TeX. To retrive the package of 8 files, include the command: SENDME DIAGRAMF in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).

The affected files are cite.sty, overcite.sty, tabls.sty, and ulem.sty. Briefly: CITE -- Compress ranges of citation numbers; adjust spacing; allow spaces in input; \citen gives just number(s). OVERCITE -- Like cite.sty, but superscripts; handles punctuation. TABLS -- Keep text in {tabular} & {array} from touching vertically ULEM -- Underlining for emphasis (\em). Define \ULine{..} also. In [over]cite, he added % Version 1992: Use \@citepunct for commas so it is easier to change. Now, where commas are used as delimiters (i.e., [4-7,9,8,Einstein,6]), you have control over whether or not a space exists. Also, in overcite (only), he added \/ to allow hyphenation of the previous word -- looks better in italics. In tabls, the version is raised to 3.1 from 3.0. 3.1 adds some braces to match some updates to LaTeX. In ulem, the most work appears -- now it is acceptable as a plain TeX macro! % Version 1992: make " {} " give two spaces, as it should; support \newline % and \\, \nolinebreak and \linebreak; add definitions necessary for % plain TeX use. Support various types of `underline'. Quite a few options are now available.

This set is built entirely from the source files distributed in the ZIP and UNZIP packages and is completely compatible with the wide variety of platforms under which those utilities can be compiled. This implementation is largely compatible with the widely-used PK*ZIP suite of utilities, although there are some differences. The UNZIP variant of this distribution UUDECODEs to UNZIP42.EXE, a self-exploding executable which creates the UNZIP executable under MS-DOS, as well as the accompanying documentation.

Michael Lemke , who was assisting me on an entirely unrelated topic, pointed out that the archives available on FILESERV and Niord can also be accessed via SPAN since THENET (the Texas Higher Education Network) is SPAN-connected via UTSPAN::UTADNX. Users on SPAN can access SHSU's root archive area in UTSPAN::UTADNX::SHSU::MX_ROOT:[FILESERV] You can then set default to any of the directories built off of the [FILESERV] root, backup, copy, or view the file(s) or directories you wish. Thought I'd pass this along. My thanks to Michael for pointing out this interface tool which we can painlessly make available.

In this case, what is pass - username? You should be able to use the VMS SET HOST to us, however, I can't see the benefit of doing so. There is not a per se public account here (with the exception of the username BEARKAT, which is the general student information account interface). If there is good reason to have a general access account for this, I'm sure I could arrange to have one established, though. > What is the SPAN number corresponding to SHSU? I am not able to find it. SHSU is not directly on SPAN (I don't believe -- actually, just about all I do know about SPAN is that it is a giant DECNET network, allowing remote users to do things such as directory, backup, copy, set host, etc. -- effectively creating another remote access device). We use the SPAN host at UTexas (UTSPAN::, I don't have that number) as a link for THEnet (through another UTexas machine, UTADNX::, which also serves as the Internet link for THEnet). THEnet is a DECNET-based network linking universities, colleges, research organizations, some government agencies, and the like in Texas. On THEnet (fortunately, on all networks), our cluster alias name is SHSU. Thus, on SPAN, the only way I am aware of to get to us (at the moment) is UTSPAN::UTADNX::SHSU:: with our archives in MX_ROOT:[FILESERV...]. If you have any other questions or suggestions about our facilities or can provide reason for the creation of a public account, please forward them to me and I'll see what can be done.

I came across a great LaTeX style option while looking around in the rusinfo archives, which I have used a few times and am very pleased with -- Anselm Lingnau's float package. Attached is the description file from FILESERV. --George =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= FLOAT ----- The FLOAT package includes the files of Anselm Lingnau's float package -- An Improved Environment for Floats -- (version 1.0b; 28 January 1992). This style option improves the interface for defining floating objects such as figures and tables in LaTeX. It adds the notion of a `float style' that governs appearance of floats. New kinds of floats may be defined using a \newfloat command analogous to \newtheorem. Among the features of LaTeX are `floating' figures and tables that drift >From where they appear in the input text to, say, the top of a page. The contents and formatting of floats is pretty much up to the user, except that there is a \caption command that governs formatting of the caption -- it is centered if it is short, and formatted as a paragraph if it is longer than a single line of text. Sometimes other types of floating objects, e.g., algorithms or programs, are desirable, but they must be defined by analogy to the existing floats since there is no simple command for doing this. This goes beyond the knowledge or inclination of the average LaTeX user. This style option presents an interface to floating objects that attempts to fix some of these shortcomings. First of all, it introduces the notion of a `float style'. A float style governs the appearance of a class of floats like a page style governs the appearance of a page (LaTeX has page styles plain, empty and headings, among others). This style option provides some exemplary float styles: o plain -- This is the float style that LaTeX normally applies to its floats, i.e., nothing in particular. The only difference is that the caption comes out below the body of the float, regardless of where it is given in the text. o boxed -- The body of the float is printed inside a box. The caption goes below that box. o ruled -- This float style is patterned on the table style of Concrete Mathematics. The caption is printed at the top of the float, surrounded by rules; another rule finishes off the float. The most important command in float.sty is the \newfloat command. As mentioned above, it is patterned on \newtheorem. The use of \newfloat allows the user to create their own floats, as well as supporting a user-defined \listof listing for these floats (analogous to \listoftables), sectional numbering, default positioning by float, the standard LaTeX positioning parameters, and the standard *-forms which produce doube column floats.

Your original mail was sent, inter alia, to tex-archive@edu.utah.math; that mailing list explodes to a number of archivists at sites throughout the world. The feed into the UK arrives at Aston, where it is re-exploded to all the archivists who look after the Aston Archive; mail headers are added like these: > Reply-To: George D. Greenwade"George D. Greenwade" > , > Global TeX Archivists > Therefore, any of the archivists may reply to such mail and know that a copy will be sent not only to the person who first mailed to tex-archive, but also to all the readers of that list too (unfortunately, if the original sender is a member of that list, he/she'll receive two copies of the reply). Before explosion, the Aston list-server adds a serial number to the subject line, which is the 171 George was querying here. A unique serial number is allocated to each message exploded at Aston, not just for this list, but for all the others, such as Archive-Private too, and every message's serial number is included in an X-Serial: header line. (The numbers are unique on a list-by-list basis, not overall: this allows recipients to notice if a message fails to reach them.) But inclusion in the subject line makes extraction of mail on a particular subject easier: when the mail exploder meets such mail where the (171) or whatever is preceded by "RE:", it *doesn't* insert the new serial number in the subject line; so one can say, with VMS MAIL for example, SELECT /SUBJECT=(171) and get all the messages relating to your original announcement and any replies. Hope this clarifies things, and maybe gives some fresh ideas to the maintainers of mailing lists.

This style is written to support (without revision) both LaTeX and TeX, and is accompanied by examples of use in both environments. The biggest enhancement is that this version allows the user to define new comment versions, each controlled separately, by the following syntax: > \includecomment{versiona} > \excludecomment{versionb} > > Text for a: > \begin{versiona} % or, in TeX. \versiona > is included. > \end{versiona} > % or, in TeX, \endversiona > > Text for b: > \begin{versionb} % or, in TeX, \versionb > is not included. > \end{versionb} > % or, in TeX, \endversionb which would include the test "is included" but not "is not included". As with the previous version, the \end{comment}, \end{versionX}, or \endversionX must reside on a line of their own, beginning in column 1, with no additional text, whitespace, or anything following.

(And others' analogous files to make fonts in other typefaces.) You can get version 1.4 by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z. This release updates parameter files for the Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic for a new version, contributed by Alexander Samarin, with more characters and more typeface variants than previously. The Cyrillic parameter files were contributed by Glenn Thobe (thobe@getunx.info.com) and Wayne Sullivan (wsulivan@irlearn.ucd.ie). This version also adds a NFSS file for LaTeX, fontdef.sau, contributed by knuutila@cs.utu.fi. You can get the original Cyrillic files (except I renamed them for consistency, as Alex suggested) by themselves in pub/tex/scyrillic.tar.Z. For all of the standard Computer Modern fonts, these files produce the same TFM files as Knuth's sources. So it is ok to call the output from these `cm...'. Besides the Computer Modern and the Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic, the distribution also includes Sauter parameter files for the LaTeX symbol fonts, contributed by Friedrich Haubensak. The distribution includes an lfonts.tex for LaTeX and a MakeTeXPK for dvips which take advantage of these fonts. You can get LaTeX from archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]:TEX/TEX3/latex, and dvips from labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*. (Alternatively, you can get a version of dvips I have modified to use exactly the same font searching scheme as TeX, the GNU font utilities, and (my modified) xdvi >From ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvips.tar.Z.)

Actually, it is not a style, per se, nor even an input macro. Instead, it is a program in LaTeX to produce calendars for one year at a time. The original code was hardcoded to 1992 (easily changeable, but hardcoded, nevertheless). Today, he forwarded me a revised version, which uses a \typein prompt for the year you wish to be processed. It is (a) a neat piece of work in seeing the math as to how leap years are calculated, (b) an interesting application of the picture environment, and (c) nice to have if you need a calendar for any year.

The VMS C compiler is an extra-cost option, so not all VMS sites have it. A small source code change was required in checksum to work around the omission of unsigned integer format items in sscanf(), a clear violation of ISO/ANSI Standard C (ANSI X3.159-1989, Section 4.9.6.2). I chose to do this with preprocessor conditionals, rather than a cweb change file, in order that the output C source code can be compiled on any machine. I've also add a README file and a checksum.hlp file from the nroff output of checksum.man. You can find the new version on ftp.math.utah.edu in ~ftp/pub/misc/checksum.* (with anonymous ftp, "cd pub/misc"). Via e-mail, "send index from ftp/misc" to tuglib@math.utah.edu. The individual source files are also stored in ~ftp/pub/tex/pub/checksum (e-mail: "send index from ftp/tex/pub/checksum"). The distribution is available in tar, zip, and zoo formats, and the Makefile incorporates rules for automatic creation of a distribution directory structure that includes the version number. While extending the Makefile to handle this, I noticed that zip seems to produce the most compact archive file: -rw-r--r-- 2 beebe staff 155612 Jun 26 08:03 checksum-1-03.tar.z -rw-r--r-- 2 beebe staff 112690 Jun 26 08:03 checksum-1-03.zip -rw-r--r-- 2 beebe staff 154592 Jun 26 08:02 checksum-1-03.zoo Zip files seem to be about 25% smaller than tar.z and zoo for other archives as well, though my sample includes only 4 different archives at present. I also found that zoo has a distinct design flaw in the handling of directory trees. With tar, mention of a directory file on the command line results in archiving of the directory and its complete subtree. With zip, you have to specify a recursive command-line option to get the same effect. With zoo, you must explicitly name every file. In terms of the checksum distribution, this means I must have a command line like this: zoo a ../checksum.zoo checksum checksum/* checksum/*/* checksum/*/*/* That command line must be updated if an additional directory level is included. There is a clear risk of incomplete distributions because of this misfeature. Also, the expansion of this command line would rapidly overflow the 128-char limit on IBM PC DOS, so use of zoo on that system would require multiple steps to incrementally add files to the archive. Unless someone knows of a newer version that removes these flaws, I propose to drop the use of zoo, and recommend against its use. The version.c file in the zoo source code says char version[] = "Version 2.01 (1988/08/25 12:43:57)"; If I have unfairly maligned zoo, I'll retract these criticisms. Here is the checksum-1-03.tar-lst file: rwxr-sr-x 11/10 0 Jun 26 08:33 1992 checksum/ rwxr-sr-x 11/10 0 Jun 26 08:33 1992 checksum/v1-03/ rw-r--r-- 11/10 5610 Jun 26 08:01 1992 checksum/v1-03/Makefile rw-r--r-- 11/10 1861 Jun 26 08:32 1992 checksum/v1-03/README rw-r--r-- 11/10 15162 Jun 25 09:47 1992 checksum/v1-03/checksum.c rw-r--r-- 11/10 451 Mar 4 16:30 1991 checksum/v1-03/checksum.eok rw-r--r-- 11/10 4635 Jun 25 18:01 1992 checksum/v1-03/checksum.hlp rw-r--r-- 11/10 6329 Jun 19 17:51 1992 checksum/v1-03/checksum.man rw-r--r-- 11/10 62948 Jun 25 17:24 1992 checksum/v1-03/checksum.tex rw-r--r-- 11/10 289 Feb 13 14:09 1992 checksum/v1-03/checksum.toc rw-r--r-- 11/10 43313 Jun 25 09:47 1992 checksum/v1-03/checksum.w rw-r--r-- 11/10 2760 Jun 25 17:24 1992 checksum/v1-03/polynom.c rw-r--r-- 11/10 287 Mar 4 16:30 1991 checksum/v1-03/polynom.eok rw-r--r-- 11/10 8807 Jun 25 17:24 1992 checksum/v1-03/polynom.tex rw-r--r-- 11/10 103 Feb 13 14:09 1992 checksum/v1-03/polynom.toc rw-r--r-- 11/10 4746 Feb 13 14:13 1992 checksum/v1-03/polynom.w rw-r--r-- 11/10 1568 Mar 4 15:46 1991 checksum/v1-03/test.org rwxr-xr-x 11/10 0 Jun 25 13:16 1992 checksum/v1-03/ibmpcdos/ rw-r--r-- 11/10 15929 Jun 25 09:47 1992 checksum/v1-03/ibmpcdos/checksum.c rw-r--r-- 11/10 18333 Sep 7 09:48 1991 checksum/v1-03/ibmpcdos/checksum.exe rw-r--r-- 11/10 1568 Mar 4 15:46 1991 checksum/v1-03/ibmpcdos/test.org rw-r--r-- 11/10 1595 Sep 6 12:14 1991 checksum/v1-03/ibmpcdos/test.new rwxr-xr-x 11/10 0 Jun 25 13:28 1992 checksum/v1-03/vaxvms/ rw-r--r-- 11/10 1766 Jun 25 13:18 1992 checksum/v1-03/vaxvms/vmsmake.com rw-r--r-- 11/10 67072 Jun 25 13:14 1992 checksum/v1-03/vaxvms/checksum.exe ======================================================================== Nelson H.F.

Well, that is quite remarkable. I acquired the ZIP file from Utah, unpacked it on my PS/2, checked it there, and then XCOPY-ed it over NFS to my VAX. I then inspected the directory structure, moved to the [...VAXVMS] sub-directory, and without really thinking, ran the executable image. It worked. Nothing strange, you might think --- yet this is without doubt the first time I have _ever_ successfully acquired a VAX/VMS executable image from a non-VMS site on the InterNet and been able to use (=execute) it. Even more remarkable, the resulting image is in stream-LF format, whereas in the combined experience of I and two colleagues, totalling well over thirty man- years of VAX/VMS, we have _never_ seen an image in other than fixed-512 format. It seems that ZIP manages to retain the attributes other archivers cannot reach! Philip Taylor, RHBNC.

The collection is accessible via e-mail as well: a message "send index >From ftp/tex/bibtex" to tuglib@math.utah.edu will return a contents listing. A message "help" will get you started. This is a MAJOR update. I began by merging in several new styles contributed by a local colleague, Alan Rogers, and updating the anonymous ftp directory with other styles that have been available for some time to our local users. I then used xarchie to scan the holdings of about 900 anonymous ftp sites for files with .bst or .bst.Z, and fetched over all those with names that did not previously exist in our collection. I did not make any attempt to ascertain whether other archives possibly had different versions (that would have been prohibitively time consuming, since there were about 200 matches found by xarchie). Next, I picked up everything that the Aston archive has. Finally, I updated the makefile to augment the list of sample files that I'd prepared a few months ago to illustrate the formatting of every single style. Here is the current list of new styles; there are 48 of them. aaai-named.bst bbs.bst named.bst abbrv.bst cbe.bst namunsrt.bst abstract.bst cell.bst nar.bst acm.bst dcu.bst nature.bst agsm.bst humanbio.bst newapa.bst alpha.bst humannat.bst phaip.bst annotate.bst ieeetr.bst phapalik.bst annotation.bst is-abbrv.bst phcpc.bst apa.bst is-alpha.bst phiaea.bst apalike.bst is-plain.bst phnf.bst apalike2.bst is-unsrt.bst phnflet.bst astron.bst jbact.bst phppcf.bst authordate1.bst jmb.bst physics.bst authordate2.bst journal-abbrev.bst plain.bst authordate3.bst jtb.bst siam.bst authordate4.bst kluwer.bst unsrt.bst The index file gives further details about their contents. A few of these have excessively long names; I'll be communicating with the authors about shortening them in a standard fashion. The ph*.bst files are produced automatically from Charles Karney's physics.bst by application of the UNIX C preprocessor; physics.bst is by itself not usable as a BibTeX style file. Here are the sample LaTeX files; these too have excessively long names, and it would take me another day to rectify that, so it will have to wait. xampl-aaai-named.ltx xampl-bbs.ltx xampl-nature.ltx xampl-abstract.ltx xampl-cbe.ltx xampl-newapa.ltx xampl-acm.ltx xampl-cell.ltx xampl-phaip.ltx xampl-agsm.ltx xampl-dcu.ltx xampl-phapalik.ltx xampl-alpha.ltx xampl-humanbio.ltx xampl-phcpc.ltx xampl-annotate.ltx xampl-humannat.ltx xampl-phiaea.ltx xampl-annotation.ltx xampl-ieeetr.ltx xampl-phnf.ltx xampl-apa.ltx xampl-jbact.ltx xampl-phnflet.ltx xampl-apalike.ltx xampl-jmb.ltx xampl-phppcf.ltx xampl-apalike2.ltx xampl-jtb.ltx xampl-plain.ltx xampl-astron.ltx xampl-kluwer.ltx xampl-siam.ltx xampl-authordate1.ltx xampl-named.ltx xampl-unsrt.ltx xampl-authordate2.ltx xampl-namunsrt.ltx xampl.ltx xampl-authordate3.ltx xampl-nar.ltx Finally, several of these styles require corresponding LaTeX styles: apalike.sty astron.sty harvard.sty jmb.sty nar.sty On a UNIX system, you can just do "make" to produce all of the .dvi files completely automatically. I've done so today to verify correct operation. ======================================================================== Nelson H.F.

Barbara uncovered three .bst files not previously included in the collection. David supplied test programs for his author-date styles, plus a large test bibliograpy, test.bib, that contains references to publications on bibliographies and citations, as well as test cases for verifying the formatting of bibliography styles. I've spent much of today incorporating this new material into the collection, and automatically generating new LaTeX test files for testing the .bst files with test.bib. This effort, though long, has been rewarding, for it uncovered errors in five of the .bst files, and another error in the pair test.bib/newapa.sty which David and I are discussing. I've fixed the first five of these; the last is not yet resolved. I'm still awaiting word on the original version of journal-abbrev.bst; the current one in this collection is a dummy empty file. I have installed the new files on ftp.math.utah.edu in the file directory ~ftp/pub/tex/bibtex (via anonymous ftp, "cd tex/bibtex"; via e-mail, "send index from ftp/tex/bibtex" to tuglib@math.utah.edu).

If you fetched things over after my Saturday posting, the easiest thing to do will be to either fetch the 00tdir.* files to identify the changes, or better, to fetch one of the new archive bundles added today: -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 9588 Jun 29 18:32 bstfiles.tar-lst -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 485733 Jun 29 18:18 bstfiles.tar.z -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 488968 Jun 29 18:33 bstfiles.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 12839 Jun 29 18:33 bstfiles.zip-lst -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 722617 Jun 29 18:31 bstfiles.zoo -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 10777 Jun 29 18:33 bstfiles.zoo-lst These contain this list of files: Makefile index *.bib *.bst *.ltx *.sty *.readme This is not everything in that directory: it intentionally excludes BibTeX source and documentation, and all subdirectories, so as to keep these archive files manageably small. As an aside, the new zoo 2.10 offers a new high-performance compression algorithm that reduces the size of bstfiles.zoo from 722617 to 618042 bytes; this is still not as compact as compressed tar and zip. Unfortunately, older zoo programs cannot handle such archives, so I'm not using them in our ftp tree. ======================================================================== Nelson H.F.

These supercede his earlier catmac.tex, which should be removed from your collection. Diagram.sty/tex includes a number of macros for drawing commutative diagrams in special shapes as well as more flexible macros to paste together more complicated diagrams. This macro set may be used under either TeX or LaTeX. It is accompanied by its documentation file, diagdoc.tex, which provides examples of usage. To retrieve these via e-mail, include: SENDME STY.DIAGRAM SENDME STY.DIAGDOC_TEX in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).

Yours, David. *************************************************************************** I am happy to announce that the first edition of the TeX Macro Index is now available by anonymous ftp and/or mail server from the following sites: [1] archive.cs.ruu.nl [2] ftp.th-darmstadt.de [3] ftp.math.utah.edu [4] Niord.SHSU.edu [5] TeX.ac.uk [6] theory.lcs.mit.edu Full instructions for retrieving the Index from these machines are appended to the end of this message. All of the archives have identical copies of the Index. In order to minimize the burden on the net, please pick the archive closest to you. I am forwarding this announcement to all of the TeX-related mailing lists that I know of. If you belong to a list that does not receive a copy of the message, but which you think would be interested in the Index, please forward this announcement. If you do so, I would appreciate it if you would also tell me the name of the list. A brief description of the Index follows. David M. Jones =========================================================================== This is an index of TeX macros. Its scope includes all macros that are available via anonymous ftp or mail-server or some similar mechanism. Commercial packages will be included only if a full Index entry is supplied to me by the vendor. Since the Index is devoted to macros, fonts and special-purpose programs are mentioned only when they are necessary to explain the purpose of a set of macros. Each entry is divided into several fields with the following functions: Name: The name of the macro package. Description: A short (usually 1-3 line) description of the package. Keywords: A list of keywords to facilitate searching for special-purpose macros, as well as to help describe the macros. A glossary of keywords can be found at the end of the file. Archives: A list of archives where the package can be found. Whenever known, the primary distribution site is marked with an asterisk. Author: The name and address (preferably electronic) of the author of the package. Latest Version: The date and/or version number of the latest release of the package. Supported: Whether or not the package is supported, that is, whether the author wants to receive bug reports and/or comments on the package. See also: A list of other packages with similar features. Note: Any additional information that seems pertinent. In addition to the list of packages, the Index also contains a brief list of TeX Archives with descriptions of the services they offer. =========================================================================== HOW TO RETRIEVE THE TEX MACRO INDEX First, here are some general instructions on anonymous ftp for those who haven't used it before. After deciding which archive you want to use, read the instructions below to find out the following three things: 1) the full name of the machine containing the archive 2) the name of the directory where the TeX Index is located 3) the name of the file containing the Index In addition, you should check the name of the file to see if it ends in ".Z", ".zoo", or ".zip". If so, it is a binary file and you will have to perform an extra step below. Once you have all of this information, you should type the following command: ftp name_of_machine When you are asked for a user name, type "anonymous". When you are asked for a password, type in your email address. Next, type cd name_of_directory If the file you are retrieving is a binary file, then you must now type the command binary Finally, retrieve the file by typing the command get name_of_file Once the transfer is complete, type bye to end the ftp session. [1] archive.cs.ruu.nl (Netherlands) How to get TeX-index.Z from the archive at Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University: NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu.

The files tex--xet.change and tex--xet.doc are in the directory "/soft/tex/tex-sources/tex--xet" of ftp.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.1.12] Here an ectract from tex--xet.doc: TeX--XeT contains the code necessary for mixed left-to-right and right-to-left typesetting. This code is inspired by but different from TeX-XeT as presented by Donald E. Knuth and Pierre MacKay in TUGboat 8, 14--25, 1987. In order to avoid confusion with TeX-XeT the present implementation of mixed direction typesetting is called TeX--XeT. It differs from TeX-XeT in several important aspects: (1) Right-to-left text is reversed explicitely by the ship-out routine and is written to a normal DVI file without any begin-reflect or end-reflect commands; (2) TeX--XeT produces exactly the same line breaks as TeX when applied to pure left-to-right text, in fact TeX--XeT passes the TRIP test with very few and well understood modifications; (3) therefore TeX--XeT is designed to be used instead of and not in addition to TeX and consequently the pool file name is not changed; (4) as an enhancement over TeX-XeT right-to-left text interrupted by a displayed equation is automatically resumed after that equation. In fact we are using the VM/CMS version of TeX--XeT here in Munich instead of TeX for quite some time (not for mixed direction texts) with no problems. If you copy these files to your archive, please inform me where they are. I will soon send out a general announcement and would like to include the archive+directory names.

You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/fontname/fontname.texi I will also send it to you by email if you cannot ftp. It is in Texinfo format, so you will need the TeX macros in the file texinfo.tex (available with most GNU programs) to be able to print it; that same directory also has a texinfo.tex. The rest of that directory contains files showing the naming scheme applied to Adobe, Computer Modern, and AMS fonts. The changes since version 1.1 are primarily just additional fonts. I also discuss some of Frank Mittelbach's criticisms of the naming scheme in TUGboat 13(1). This is an update of my article in TUGboat 11(4). The main changes are a much longer list of typeface families, a somewhat longer exposition of the problems with the naming scheme, and a proposal for naming scheme for arbitrarily-long names (and a proposed corresponding slight enhancement to TeX, approved by Professor Knuth). I am happy to get additions, criticisms, or other comments. karl@cs.umb.edu From bed_gdg@SHSU.edu Thu Jul 16 13:11:50 1992 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from Niord.SHSU.edu by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA14339; Thu, 16 Jul 92 13:10:30 MDT Received: by SHSU.edu (MX V3.1B) id 15087; Thu, 16 Jul 1992 14:07:09 CDT Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1992 14:06:14 CDT From: "George D.

I am looking for a few people, on VMS systems, to assist me in testing a TPU-based parallel to Nelson Beebe's filehdr package (the one which puts the nice headers on files in archives; the ones which assist David Jones in his macro indexing heroics, the ones which have consistent information between files, the ones which include the Solovay checksums, the ones....). I am attaching the file TPUHDR-INFO.README below my sig. If you are not on VMS, go ahead and delete this now (in mail) or go to rn (in news). The package requires DCL (if you're on VMS, you got that) and TPU (as I understand it, if you're on VMS, you got that, too). You can retrieve this package via e-mail by including the command SENDME TPUHDR in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). It comes via a 2-part VMS_SHARE distribution (TPU required a few lines in excess of 80 charachters and I didn't want to get any strange line breaks), which includes 5 files total. Alternately, it is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the file [FILESERV.TPUHDR]TPUHDR-V0_A.ZIP, or the individual source files are in [FILESERV.TPUHDR.SOURCES]. As this is a beta version, I am looking for comments, suggestions, and where I screwed up. Please let me know what needs to be done. Nelson Beebe worked on getting the Solovay checksum package archived yesterday to include improved VMS support (in addition to Unix and DOS), BTW (thanks, Nelson!!!!). You can retrieve this by including SENDME CHECKSUM in your mail to FILESERV, or get the file [FILESERV.CHECKSUM]CHECKSUM-V1-03.ZIP from Niord. This is the four-part checksum, which includes the checksum, word count, line count, and character count, which is utilized by TPUHDR and by Nelson's filehdr.

It is not intended as a port of Beebe's filehdr package. Instead, it is based on the inherent languages supported by default in the VMS environment -- Digital Command Language (DCL) and Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) Text Processing Utility (TPU) language. The function of TPUHDR is to create, as a stand-alone package, file headers for files already in existence. It is intended to be utilized as a last step in preparing files for archival purposes. Therefore, authors are free to utilize any editor to actually create and work on files. Moreover, TPUHDR was designed to utilize TPU command files so that users who use personalized TPU section files may continue to use them even in the final steps of production. Necessarily, each file must have the following fields: @file-type{ filename = "filename.in-lower-case", date = "date of processing", time = "time of processing, with an optional timezone string", supported = "supported by author field -- either yes or no" } The "file-type" field above is automatically determined by the extension of the file. Additional fields supported include: version = "version of file", author = "author's name", address = "author's mailing address", e-mail = "author's electronic mail address", telephone = "author's telephone number", FAX = "author's FAX number", archived = "sites which are known archives of the file", keywords = "a string of keywords attached to the file", abstract = "a brief abstract of the file's use, purpose, etc., similar to an embedded README-type file, codetable = "which codetable is effective for this file", checksum = "a checksum field, including a CRC-16 checksum, a line count, word count and character count", docstring = "a brief description of the file; if a checksum is included, the following string is automatically appended as the end of the docstring: The checksum field above contains a CRC-16 checksum as the first value, followed by the equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word count) utility output of lines, words, and characters. This is produced by Robert Solovay's checksum utility." The default ordering of fields created by TPUHDR is: @file-type{ filename = "", version = "", date = "", time = "", author = "", address = "", e-mail = "", telephone = "", FAX = "", supported = "", archived = "", keywords = "", abstract = "", codetable = "", checksum = "", docstring = "" } Each quote delimited string may span multiple lines. TPUHDR is designed so that each quote delimited string is followed by a comma, with the exception of the final quote delimited string, as indicated above. The inserted text for each field is left aligned with the first quote of the field. Appropriate comment characters, as determined by the extension on the filename, are inserted preceding all text included by TPUHDR. The entire file header is delimited by a bracketed set. The opening (left) bracket is preceded by a "commercial at" sign (@) and file-type, as determined by the extension on the filename, while the closing (right) bracket stands alone on a line following all other text. Since you are placed in an editor following processing, you may make any alterations you desire to this ordering prior to exiting and processing the checksum (if applicable). It is highly suggested to use a left margin of 1 and a right margin of 50 when processing these field-related files outside of the TPUHDR environment as TPUHDR makes no attempt to reconfigure lines -- this allows users to exactly design their headers in a more WYSIWYG-type format for blocks, spaces, examples, etc. TPUHDR makes every attempt to minimize the author's work. The logic of searching for this information is based on a VMS-based searchpath for its information files, looking first to the current default directory, then to the user's login directory. For this reason, it is suggested that users experiment with this on a file in their SYS$LOGIN directory the first time they use it. This will create the files TPUHDR-AUTHOR.TXT TPUHDR-ADDRESS.TXT TPUHDR-EMAIL.TXT TPUHDR-FAX.TXT These files are not deleted upon exiting. If they exist in the user's login directory, they will never have to be touched again and the information will be introduced automatically each time TPUHDR is utilized. Virtually all of other supported fields has a similar TPUHDR-fieldname.TXT file, which is created in the user's current default directory. The user is prompted whether or not to delete these files on exiting TPUHDR. If the file(s) are not deleted, they are automatically included in subsequent applications of TPUHDR. Each of the files associated with TPUHDR may be of any length. Information is prompted for in TPUHDR sessions, whereupon the user is placed into a TPU-based editing session, with margins automatically placed at 1 and 50 -- the appropriate locations for subsequent inclusion. These extra TPUHDR-fieldname.TXT files may be created prior to running TPUHDR, if you choose, and they will be automatically included in the processing of your file. To use TPUHDR, place the files: TPUHDR.COM -- DCL command file which drives TPUHDR TPUHDR.TPU -- Main TPU command program defining TPUHDR contents and layout TPUCOMM.TPU -- Brief TPU command file defining file-specific information field layout TPUHDR_CHECKSUM.STANDARD_TXT -- Standard checksum paragraph for inclusion when checksum is used TPUHDR_ISO-ASCII.STANDARD_TXT -- Includes the text "ISO/ASCII", which is the most common VMS text format in a common directory, which users may have read and executable access to. The LOCAL section of the file TPUHDR.COM should not be altered, except as explicitly indicated. This section of the DCL driver file for TPUHDR provides support and gives guidance for two controlling definitions which sites may prefer to utilize system-wide -- TPUHDR_DIR (where the five files above are retained) and TPUHDR_CHECKSUM (a foreign command symbol pointing to Solovay's checksum utility, which is not compatible with the standard VMS CHECKSUM utility; for VMS implementations, the Solovay checksum executable is named CHKSM.EXE). By default, the DCL command driver file, TPUHDR.COM searches for CHKSM.EXE in SYS$SYSTEM, so that it may be called via a foreign command TPUHDR_CHECKSUM := $CHKSM Look in the area near the top of TPUHDR.COM delimited by "LOCAL" and "END LOCAL". If this does not suit your site's application (i.e., CHKSM.EXE does not reside in SYS$SYSTEM), please include a specific hard-coded definition of TPUHDR_CHECKSUM in the lines near the string: $! ***** INCLUDE YOUR DEFINITION FOR .......... An area is provided for hard coding, on a local basis, the logical TPUHDR_DIR and the foreign command symbol TPUHDR_CHECKSUM. If you do not have Solovay's CHECKSUM package, which now supports VAX/VMS and MS-DOS compatibles, as well as most Unix applications, it is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.CHECKSUM] as a ZIP archive. The files are also available for electronic mail retrieval from FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu) by including the command SENDME CHECKSUM in the body of a mail message to it. To use TPUHDR, simply create a foreign command symbol to TPUHDR, such as: TPUHDR :== @dev:[dir]TPUHDR the, at the DCL-level prompt, type TPUHDR file-to-be.processed TPUHDR is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.TPUHDR] as a ZIP archive. This package may also be retrieved via electronic mail from FILESERV by including the command SENDME TPUHDR in the body of a mail message to it. TPUHDR is intended to be a fully supported package.

The release notes from its author point out that he has a long list of things to do, but doesn't have time just now to work on it, so it is available unsupported (with a plea NOT to communicate with the author). Since I will be unavailable for help consultations for several weeks, use discretion in installing it. I ran it here for a few days on a private machine making experiments before I installed it on our main ftp server machine. I've made useful modifications to it to support retrieval of directory subtrees in zip and zoo format, as well as the original tar and compressed tar formats. All modifications are under RCS control, so you can use "rcsdiff -r1.1 foo.c" to find what changes were made to foo.c. If you don't have RCS installed, you get it from the Free Software Foundation archives on prep.ai.mit.edu; RCS is NOT required to build this software. The top-level NOTES file records my comments, experience, and motivations for the changes. This server has been running on ftp.math.utah.edu since 23-Jul-1992. It provides improved logging for site administrators, although the NOTES file points out that this still is not as complete as the code intends it to be. It provides a way to have ftp CWD (or CD) commands display a text file, as well as to display a login text file. These files can be customized with dynamically-adjusted format items to insert things like the current date. Thus, when I just logged into ftp.math.utah.edu, its login message said ... 230-* This system may be used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The local * 230-* time in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, is Mon Aug 3 16:15:54 1992. * ... Having the local date available is useful for remote sites in other time zones, since it helps them chose transfer times outside of peak usage hours. For external users, the best news is the ability to fetch directory trees in a variety of formats, preserving net bandwidth and file time stamps. ======================================================================== Nelson H.F.

I would like to thank Glenn Paulley , who has forwarded me a set of three files to do this, which are now available from SHSU. I have not tested these exhaustively, but it appears that they are somewhat LaTeX specific in design, although I am sure that the LaTeX sub-style option, chicago.sty, can be tweaked to operate in TeX. The citation formats supported include: (author-last-name year) (author-last-name and author-last-name year) (author-last-name et al. year) (author-last-name) author-last-name author-last-name (year) (author-last-name and author-last-name) (author-last-name et al.) (year) or (year,year) year or year,year The reference list ordering is alphabetical by author or whatever passes for author in the absence of one. Support for abbreviated author lists and for year-only citations are provided by having the citations actually look like: \citeauthoryear{full-author-info}{abbrev-author-info}{year} The chicago.sty LaTeX file is required to use the BibTeX styles chicago.bst and chicagoa.bst. Features of chicago.bst: ======================== - full names used in citations, but abbreviated citations are available. - if an entry has a "month", then the month and year are also printed as part of that bibitem. - book, inbook, and manual use "location: publisher" (or organization) for address and publisher. All other types list publishers separately. - "pp." are used to identify page numbers for all entry types except articles. - organization is used as a citation label if neither author nor editor is present (for manuals). - "et al." is used for long author and editor lists. Features of chicagoa.bst: ========================= - supports an "annotation" field for annotated bibliographies. - all other features of chicago.bst. To retrieve these three files via e-mail, include: SENDME BST.CHICAGO* in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). The files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.BST], either individually or packaged together in the ZIP archive CHICAGO.ZIP.

I added what I believe to be the necessary lines to fix this, as well as a header for archive use. Comments on any of the changes are certainly welcomed. I've always used (for example) \begin{doublespace} ... \end{doublespace} instead of the global definition \doublespacing and never ran across this previously. I did not change these environments -- just the global definitions noted above.

Instead, it uses PicTeX (neat idea, Jim!). The syntax and use is very similar to schedule.sty. Jim notes in the file: % 1) In addition to LaTeX, this uses PiCTeX. I've not tried this with % anything less than a big TeX (that is, a TeX with an enlarged memory). % I'd be surprised if it worked. % But, given that emTeX is free, and great, and given that memory % is cheap, I didn't think this was an unreasonable burden.

Attached for your reference are the description files. As soon as I can find the pre-compiled versions for the PC, they will be made available and announced. I have the sources for the Windows version, which I will soon have finished and will make available. Note that the ZIP files are for patch level 1, which many sites do not have up yet (it was released about one week after the original posting of the code for 1.9). This patch is a real enhancement. If you already have ZIP 1.9, check the date on the first screen to verify the date of 26 August 1992. For VMS users, both packages are very enhanced (multiple period filename parsing is now supported, as is retention of RMS file characteristics!). --George *************************************************************************** ZIP --- The ZIP package includes the sources of the 20 August 1992 (version 1.9) of ZIP, with patches through patch level 1 (26 August 1992). ZIP is a (somewhat) PKZIP-compatible utility which is useful for compressing and archiving files. Its compression performance in creating compressed recursive archives including directory trees which can later be fully recreated with prior file attributes and filedates consistently surpasses standard U*ix tar.Z formats. Moreover, these compressed ZIP files may be recreated on a number of systems, allowing more modularity and portability than compressed tar files. This version of zip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and other mainframes, minis, and micros including VMS, OS/2, Minix, MSDOS, Windows NT, Atari, and Macintosh (the latter two have not been tested recently). Although highly compatible with PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, the primary objective has been one of portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features not found in the PKWare version include creation of zip files in a pipe or on a device, VMS and OS/2 extended file attributes, conversion from Unix to MSDOS text file format; and, of course, the ability to run on most of your favorite operating systems. And it's free. ZIP 1.9 is is compatible with PKZIP 1.93a, except when two features are used: encryption or ZIP file created in a pipe or on a non seekable device. PKZIP versions of 2.0 will support such files, and unzip 5.0 already supports them. (Thanks to Phil Katz for accepting suggested minor changes to the zip file format.) Due to the wide variety of machines supported and large size of the distribution, please note which file sets to properly retrieve. To retrieve the files necessary to compile ZIP on your operating system, include the commands: SENDME ZIP and, if necessary SENDME "Product set" where "Product set" is replaced with the operating system/language-specific product below (i.e., ZIP_ATARI, ZIP_MAC, ZIP_MSDOS, ZIP_NT, ZIP_OS2, or ZIP_VMS). Note that the ZIP package alone is the base required for all applications and may be adequate for most U*ix sites. To retrieve a specific file, such as ZIP.README, include: SENDME ZIP.README in your mail to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp retrieval of this package, it is available on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.ZIP]. The sources are available in a VMS backup saveset (ZIP-19P1.BCK), a compressed U*ix tar file (ZIP-19P1.TAR_Z; to be saved as Zip19p1.tar.Z), and in ZIP format (ZIP-19P1.ZIP). PKZIP 1.93a is only an alpha version. If you wish to create zip files compatible with the official version of PKZIP (1.10), you must use ZIP 1.0. ZIP 1.9 cannot create files with the old compression method (implosion). You may retrieve of ZIP 1.0 via e-mail by replacing the word "ZIP" in the SENDME commands above with "ZIP10" or via ftp as a compressed tar archive, VMS backup saveset, or in ZIP format from Niord in the [FILESERV.ZIP] directory. For FILESERV purposes, ZIP 1.0 is wholly contained and you will not need an additional "Product set".

This version of UnZip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and other mainframes, minis, and micros (including VMS, OS/2, Minix, MSDOS, Windows, Amiga (not tested recently), and Macintosh). Although highly compatible with Phil Katz's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, the objective has been one of portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Although highly compatible with PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, the primary objective has been one of portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features not found in the PKWare version include default extraction of directory trees (with a switch to defeat this, rather than the other way around); VMS, Macintosh and OS/2 extended file attributes; and, of course, the ability to run under most of your favorite operating systems. The ZIP package also available at this site properly compresses and archives files for later handling by ZIP. Both ZIP and UNZIP are supported by the Info-Zip project, which continues to improve both products. Also included is an ancillary programs: ZipInfo. ZipInfo lists technical information about a ZIP archive, including information file access permissions, encryption status, type of compression, version and operating system of compressing program, and the like. The VMS distribution includes BILF, a utility to convert files to stream-LF format (option l) or to convert files to fixed-length 512-byte binary record format (option b). New features in this version include support for deflation (the new, high-performance compression method introduced in the PKZIP 1.93 alpha); much faster decompression; relaxed copyright restrictions, due to rewritten code (see COPYING for details); multiple password guessing, for encrypted zipfiles; support for options stored in an environment variable, to change the default behavior; and a new Unix filter version of UnZip called FUnZip. One very notable new feature which will be appreciated by VMS users is the parsing of multiple-period filenames to VMS systems. Many bugs were fixed as well. The History file details the changes, and BUGS indicates the ones which have been identified, but are yet to be addressed or are being addressed. Due to the wide variety of machines supported and large size of the distribution, please note which file sets to properly retrieve. To retrieve the files necessary to compile UNZIP on your operating system, include the commands: SENDME UNZIP and, if necessary SENDME "Product set" where "Product set" is replaced with the operating system/language-specific product below (i.e., UNZIP_AMIGA, UNZIP_ATARI, UNZIP_MAC, UNZIP_MSDOS, UNZIP_NT, UNZIP_OS2, or UNZIP_VMS). Note that the UNZIP package alone is the base required for all applications and may be adequate for most U*ix sites. The files noted below are available for anonymous ftp retrieval as a complete set from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.UNZIP]. The files available include a VMS backup saveset (UNZIP-50.BCK), a U*ix compressed tar file (UNZIP-50.TAR_Z; to be saved as UnZip50.tar.Z), and in ZIP format (UNZIP-50.ZIP).

I'm preparing to release an update of the TeX Macro Catalogue this weekend. In anticipation, I'd like discuss a couple of matters with the TeX Archive world. First, after discussion with some people who think that the current name is misleading or inadequate, I'm going to change the name of the Index. Here are the new names I've decided on: 1) "tex-styles-and-macros.txt" for the official archive name (replace "txt" by "zip", "zoo" or "arc" for the corresponding compressed names; we'll just have to live with ".txt.Z" (or .txt_z) for compressed files, I guess) 2) "texmacro.txt" for the official 8+3 name 3) "A Catalogue of TeX Macros" for the official document title I realize that (1) violates the rule that files should have a single name on all platforms, but in this case I think that it's more important that the file have a descriptive name so that people who are browsing through a directory listing won't simply pass it over. On theory.lcs.mit.edu, after I change the name of the file, I'll put a note in TeX-index pointing the user to the new file. Some have suggested that we could have multiple links to a single file, but I feel that this is a bad idea since a naive user would probably end up retrieving two (or more) copies of the file. Second, I'd like to discuss the best way of keeping the Catalogue up-to-date on other archives. One question is should I post an announcement to tex-archive every time I change the archival copy on theory? I don't expect this ever to be more than once a week, and once every month or so is probably more likely. Nevertheless, it seems like it would be tiresome for most of the list. A possibly relevant fact is that I plan to start posting monthly reminders to comp.tex.text (or should I send it to info-tex, George?) about the Catalogue. A related question is what is the easiest way to distribute the Catalogue to the archives? I'd like to encourage archives to mirror the Catalogue automatically whenever possible. I know that a couple of archives are already doing this. An update interval of a week should be perfectly adequate, though you should feel free to mirror it more frequently if you like. Further, if your site allows anonymous submission of files, either by anonymous ftp or by mail, then I should be able to write a script that will automatically send your archive a new copy of the Index. Then I could just run my update script every time I install a new version of the Index. I think that's everything I wanted to bring up. I'd like to compile a list of Archives that can be counted on to have up-to-date copies of the Catalogue and stick it in the header of the Catalogue (see below for my current list of archives that have copies). However, I'm several days away from releasing the new version, so there's no particular rush. Cheers, David.

You can use it to find, e.g. all .bib entries with Smith in the authors, and polynomial in the titles. This is usually much more convenient than using string searching in a text editor, or with pattern matching utilities, like grep.

Use of this style requires a PostScript printer and dvi-file converter. The style and accompanying documentation were submitted as separate files, but I have placed them in a single file on the SHSU archives to ensure that users get both. The main change was in the name of "linewidth" variable in the style to "outlineboxwidth" since that variable name conflicted with another variable of the same name in "latex.tex" when doing miniparagraphs. To retrieve the file via e-mail, include: SENDME STY.SHADING in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). The file is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from ftp.SHSU.edu in [FILESERV.STY]STY.SHADING. A note on the anonymous ftp node is warranted (and will be repeated individually): ftp.SHSU.edu is an Internet DNS CNAME (alias) for Niord.SHSU.edu (at the moment). The archives will continue to be supported on Niord for the foreseeable future; however, they will soon be supported by a larger and faster machine, which ftp.SHSU.edu will point to as soon as possible. It may take a few days for the CNAME to fully propogate, but it is strongly preferred that you come in via ftp.SHSU.edu instead of Niord.SHSU.edu (Niord is scheduled to become a dedicated mail handler).

It is available by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z The major modification is to use the same path searching algorithms as Unix TeX (i.e., web2c), the GNU font utilities, and my modified xdvi. In addition, the configuration process is (more or less) automatic, in the GNU style. The Makefile uses the standard variable names and targets in GNU makefiles. The documentation is included in the GNU texinfo format (thanks to zoo@cygnus.com for providing it). Here are the important changes in this version: * TFM, VF, and LaTeX style files added (from dvipslib). * README, NEWS, INSTALL files rewritten/created. * `check' target added. * Update for dvips 5495. karl@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to lpf@uunet.uu.net.

Changes in this release: * \cdot (and hence \cdots) spacing corrected (vastly decreased). * Use dvips' new afm2tfm program. * New version of psnfss.sup for using these fonts with NFSS. The distribution includes the math fonts as a (more or less) drop-in replacement for Computer Modern. I've worked some on the magic math font parameters, but no doubt improvements are possible. I suggest using Tom Rokicki's dvips as your DVI-to-PostScript program. dvips is on labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z, and my hacked version with the same path searching algorithm is on ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z. The afm2tfm program in those distributions is what I used to create the virtual fonts. Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz, who did much of the initial work, and Chuck Bigelow and Kris Holmes, who designed the typefaces. karl@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to lpf@uunet.uu.net.

It is available by ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{eplain/*,eplain.tar.Z} ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1]:TeX/eplain/eplain-2.2.tar.Z You might also be able to get it by email from George Greenwade's file server if you cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of something like `SENDME EPLAIN.EPLAIN_TEX'. I'm making this release only because it's been over seven months since the last release, and a number of bug fixes have accumulated. I haven't yet incorporated any of the good suggestions people have sent me (cross-referencing to figures and the like as well as pages and equations, figuring out the multi-column situation, generalizing toc files to other kinds of auxiliary files, indexing commands, etc., etc.). I hope to be able to do that soon. (I hope to be able to release a lot of things soon, as always...funny how that never happens.) Please send bug reports directly to me. Here is a summary of the most significant changes (from the file NEWS in the distribution): * New \toks register \everylist, expanded at the start of every list. * \footnoterulewidth defined as 2in, not 2true in, thus allowing the use of \mag after reading eplain.tex. The `2true in' was Knuth's, but I don't know why he did it. * \obeywhitespace works inside a \vbox. * \boxit is \long, and uses \ehrule and \evrule. * \writenumberedtocentry expands the chapter number, so `\the ' can be used. * \verbatim doesn't begin and end with \par, so it can be used in the middle of a paragraph. * \pathafterhook added to \path in path.sty, so macros can execute cleanup actions. * The \path command and its friends are documented in the manual. For those of you who haven't heard of Eplain: it is a collection of macros intended to provide relatively low-level capabilities, regardless of how your document appears. For example, it has macros to do symbolic cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a section heading. It also has some definitions that make it easier to change the conventions of plain TeX's output. For example, it lets you produce left-justified math displays by simply saying `\leftdisplays'. karl@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to lpf@uunet.uu.net.

If you tried to convert a font that was _both_ small enough to fit entirely in memory _and_ had a header shorter than 64 bytes, SFPtoPK v2.00 would miss the first character in the font. The only fonts that I have seen that have a header smaller than 64 bytes are old LJ+ softfonts. Unfortunately, the PCX2FONT program creates this style of header. My apologies for the inconvienience.

I've just put a .tar.Z file and a (Macintosh) .hqx file of Lollipop v0.93 on cs.utk.edu in /pub/eijkhout/tex. This will be the last official update until the end of the year. This update incorporates most of the comments of users so far. There may be occasional minor updates before the end of the year, but these will upward compatible, and therefore go unannounced. Some global information about Lollipop TeX follows below the signature.

The Lollipop format tries to bridge the gap between the fact that in TeX anything is programmable, and the fact that doing so is too hard for the people such as typographers, who know actually what to program. Or even for seasoned programmers. Lollipop is a macro package that gives the user powerful tools for programming macros for lists, headings, output routines and a number of other things. The Lollipop macros take the specifications for a macro, and then construct that macro. The status of Lollipop Lollipop is not finished, but it is already quite powerful. (It has been used to typeset my book 'TeX by Topic', for instance.) I suggest that anyone who is interested format the manual and have a look at the examples in it. They document the current power of Lollipop (really: all examples, including of output routines, are formatted on the fly). Since Lollipop is still under development I will be very accessible for questions, bug reports and suggestions. Email preferred: eijkhout@cs.utk.edu. (And I will be flattered if you actually use Lollipop, but beware that changes may occur in future versions.) Lollipop can be ftp'ed from the directory /pub/eijkhout/tex on cs.utk.edu (log in as 'anonymous') where it is stored as 'lollipop.tar.Z'. Uncompress and 'tar -fx' it. The tar file unpacks itself to a subdirectory ./Lollipop-xyz where 'xyz' is the current version. Like a lot of TeXware, Lollipop is free. Make and give away all the copies that you want. Just don't ask money for it, other than reasonable expenses for copying discs or the manual. Share and enjoy!

I have been working with Chris Hamlin at the American Physical Society over the past month or so on getting the new version (3.0) of REVTeX on-line. We have finally gotten all of the files stable and the new version is ready for use. Chris will make the "formal" public announcement on INFO-TeX in the near future. Why this has been a somewhat larger task (w.r.t. file stability, announcement, various politics, etc.) is that the REVTeX 3.0 package remains the official package for the APS (as before) but it is now the formally recognized package for the American Institute of Physics and the Optical Society of America, as well. Essentially, it has been a cooperative effort on the part of 4 file editors in 3 different associations, covering some 27 official periodicals. For obvious reasons, everyone needs to be consulted prior to formalizing this release (which Chris is in the process of). I am attaching the revised description file from FILESERV/Niord so that you, as archivists, have advance warning of this change. The files may be archived and distributed immediately, but please wait for the politically correct public announcement prior to wide dissemination that you have them available. --George *************************************************************************** REVTEX ------ The REVTEX package includes the 26 files necessary for version 3.0 (November 11, 1992) of REVTeX. REVTeX is the macro package that runs on top of LaTeX, which is sponsored by the American Physical Society, the American Institute of Physics, and the Optical Society of America. REVTeX produces compuscripts, which are used by authors for submission and by these organizations for production in their author-prepared program. For the APS, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its: Physical Review A Physical Review B Physical Review C Physical Review D Physical Review E Physical Review Letters For the AIP, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its: American Journal of Physics Chaos Computers in Physics Journal of Applied Physics The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America The Journal of Chemical Physics Journal of Mathematical Physics Journal of Rheology Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B Medical Physics Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Physics of Fluids A Physics of Fluids B Powder Diffraction Review of Scientific Instruments The AIP's Astronomical Journal and Applied Physics Letters are not part of this compuscript program at the present time. Applied Physics Letters may be added to the compuscript program in the future; its weekly nature will make it more challenging. For the OSA, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its: Journal of the Optical Society of America A Journal of the Optical Society of America B Applied Optics Optics Letters All needed instructions for use are contained in the REVTEX.README file and in the accompanying documentation. You may retrieve the entire package of 26 files distributed in 32 parts by including the command: SENDME REVTEX in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). A complete distribution of this version of REVTEX requires all 26 files in this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say REVTEX.README, use the command: SENDME REVTEX.README in your MAIL message to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp retrieval, the individual files are available in the directory [FILESERV.REVTEX] on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).

The previous distributions of bibclean were about 10% of the size of the 2.05 version, so here is why. Bibclean 2.05 is a considerable extension of the previous 1.x versions. The code has grown from a total of 3814 lines in bibclean 1.05 to 13372 lines in 2.05. Much of this growth is in additional files that are provided for enhanced portability. bibclean.c itself grew from 1395 lines to 5632 lines, and that file incorporates an extensive revision history log. Besides prettyprinting of BibTeX bibliography files, the new version now provides conversion of Scribe bibliography files to BibTeX form, and syntax checking of citation tags and string values. These enhancements have proved valuable, in that new errors have been uncovered in almost every bibliography that has been processed with bibclean 2.05. For testing the Scribe conversion, I've used a 36K-line 1800+ entry collection from the Computer Science Department at the University of Arizona. The syntax checking is based on patterns provided in initialization files, allowing extensions and modifications to be made WITHOUT changing the source code of bibclean. System-wide, project-wide, directory-wide, and file-specific customizations are supported. Because bibclean has many new run-time options, besides UNIX manual pages (with PostScript, text, and help forms thereof for other systems), the executable program incorporates an interactive help facility that allows the help display to be scrolled up and down. The help text displayed this way is extracted automatically from the manual pages, ensuring that it remains up-to-date when the documentation is modified in the future. The new distribution incorporates extensive tests of the correctness of bibclean. Testing has been carried out on at least these systems, representing 30 C and C++ compilers and three major operating systems, including the 6 most popular workstation architectures: ============================================================================= System O/S Compiler(s) ============================================================================= DEC VAX VMS 5.4 cc DECstation ULTRIX 4.2 cc, lcc, gcc, g++ HP 370 4.3 BSD cc, CC HP 720 HP-UX c89 HP 850 HP-UX c89 IBM 3090 AIX cc, CC IBM PC DOS 4.0 and 5.0 tcc (2.0, 3.0), tcc++ (3.0), cl (5.1, 6.0) IBM PS/2 AIX cc, CC IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2 c89 MIPS 6280 RISCos 4.52 and 5.2 cc NeXT Mach 3.0 gcc Silicon Graphics IRIX 4.0 cc, lcc, CC Stardent 1520 OS 2.2 cc Sun 4 SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 acc, cc, gcc, g++, CC ============================================================================= The conversion to C++ code goes only as far as the provision of Standard C function headers which are based on the C++ syntax. Old-style (K&R) function headers are also provided; both styles are under C preprocessor control. There is no use whatever of C++ classes, I/O, or comment syntax. Testing under C++ has been so valuable in weeding out errors at compile time that I now do all my C software development using C++ compilers (yes, my DVI 3.0 project supports both C and C++, and no, it is not yet ready for release). For user convenience, the bibclean distribution contains executables in binary and uuencoded form for IBM PC DOS and VAX VMS, since C compilers are extra cost options on those systems. The top-level README file contains detailed installation instructions; here is a short summary: * For the UNIX systems above, all that is required is to select an appropriate definition of CC in the Makefile, set installation directory locations, then type "make all", "make test", and "make install". * For VAX VMS, DCL command files are provided for building and testing. * For IBM PC DOS, there are batch command files and makefiles. * For both VAX VMS and IBM PC DOC, minor customization of the command files and makefiles is needed to set appropriate directory paths the local installation. Enjoy the new bibclean, and as always, please report problems, errors, and comments back to the author. ===============================[The End]================================ ======================================================================== Nelson H.

Notably, this port of DVItoVDU/dvi2vdu/dv/... is make-able under AIX, as well as other platforms. As one would expect, DVGT has the usual bells and whistles associated with version 3.0. Attached is the description listing from FILESERV/Niord. Regards and my thanks to Geoffrey on this, George *************************************************************************** DVGT ---- The DVGT package includes a UUENCODEd ZIP file containing Geoffrey Tobin's modifications to Ian Dall's 3.0 C version of dv (available at anonymous@augean.ua.oz.au:/pub/misc/dv.tar.Z), which is a C port of the original Modula-2 version of DVItoVDU by Andrew Trevorrow. This version is Tobin's modification 4 (1 December 1992) of DVItoVDU version 3.0. As with all programs related to Trevorrow's original effort, this driver allows the visual display of DVI files using PK fonts on a monitor or terminal. Two Makefiles are provided: Makefile.aix for IBM machines (such as the Risc/6000) running AIX. Makefile.sun for Suns and Sparcs running Sun/OS, with gcc. These can serve as templates for other Makefiles. (The AIX one originated >From the Sun Makefile.) In developing this release, Tobin was in contact with Trevorrow, as well as Masahiro Kitagawa , the author of the Japanese version 1.1J. Users of terminals that emulate tek4010 can use the vis550 of one of the other tek4010 emulating terminal drivers listed in the README. An explicit "tek4010" option is not provided, as this would be misleading and so as to make provisions for a real tek4010 driver in a (hypothetical) later release. MS-Kermit 3.xx has a tek4010 emulator which is compatible with the tek4010 emulation modes of DVGT drivers, such as vis550. This version includes the useful ZI/ZO features of 3.0. Zoom is now adjustable. For example, one can say "ZI 1.2" to zoom in by a factor of 1.2. Subsequent uses of ZI and ZO with no explicit factor will continue to zoom 1.2 fold. DVGT supports many other features of 3.0, such as wisely ignoring \special's.

It includes a few fixes and extra files which have appeared on the net since it's original posting on 8 September 1992. Attached is the FILESERV description file. --George *************************************************************************** MFPIC ----- The MFPIC package includes version 0.2 (8 September 1992, updated as of 26 November 1992) of Thomas Leathrum's set of TeX and Metafont macros that essentially draw pictures in a TeX document using Metafont. Additional related files subsequently posted to the network, including support for 4DOS. Also, there's a valuable patch to the new "mfpic.tex", which takes care of the problem that the graphics TFM file is initially absent, and therefore cannot be read. In MFpic, each picture comes out as a single Metafont character; the TeX macros actually write the Metafont file for you, so there's no need to learn Metafont (although you do have to be able to run Metafont); and the TeX macros are things like \axes, \arrow, \circle, \curve, etc., similar in nature (but nowhere near the scope) of PiC-TeX. The advantages of this technique: significantly faster than PiC-TeX (especially on curves), totally printer-independent (unlike \special's).

I've been watching the file system developments in the archives on ftp.tex.ac.uk, as well as how they are being converted on ftp.uni-stuttgart.de over the past few months. From what I've seen, the design pretty well follows the original discussions here. To date, no one involved (Sebastian, primarily you) has complained on the design. To me it looks logical and well laid out (but it appears I had a lot to say on it beforehand, so it ought to be right). 8-) At any rate, late last Friday, HP came in and installed "my" new drive on pip. Believe it or not, it is truly mine for anything I want to do with it (all 1.2 gig). I didn;t honestly expect to get the whole enchilada, but I'm not going to complain. It doesn't seem right to use the mirror software to move everything across the pond. Is it safe to assume that the major migration to the new archive directory design is in place? If so, how might I go about getting a tape from either of the ftp... machines? Alternately, is the mirror the best way to do this for such an enormous exchange? More extended (and why this is a public post): Does anyone see any problems with the existing new structure before we have three sites under it? What else needs to be thought out? As soon as I can get everything in place, pip will be our major archive machine and we plan on NFS mounting the directories on it for Niord's ftp access directories.

One thing that needs to be set up as soon as possible is a scheme for automatic update between the three major archives.

This is now something upon us (well, it's always been there, but now it will very likely look and feel more official). I more or less agree with Karl on this, provided an appendage can be added. I would guess that a "contrib" could easily fit in, provided it wasn't something which caused new dependencies. For example, Geoffrey Tobin's DVGT, which is dvi*vdu in another iteration. For this, I talked GT into simply creating a new package. When it fits into someone's package, such as Karl's web2c, I guess a"contrib" would work, but would much rather the author have something to say about it (if for not other reason) since they will implicitly be involved in some degree of maintenance. I really don't wish to foist a maintenance job on someone sight unseen! Still have to think a little more on this personally (and, I hope, collectively). > in the former case, what if the UK misses the announcement, but > George sees it? > > He sends mail to the U.K. > > needs a communication channel. and what if george sees > it, tells the UK, but we are all asleep? > > Then things will be out of whack. This is the fun of maintaining anything. This can be handled by having access for the different maintainers, but some places may be against that for various reasons (any maintainer can easily have an account on any of our machines -- just let me know; may have to tweak a few privs here and there, but that can be handled I believe). What would be better (and this is where I need to go back and see how the mirror handles this) is for us to have some semblance of an agreement of what goes where. If we have this, the mirroring software should take care of it automagically somehow. Whether or not to mirror new directories into the network is another topic -- possibly we should have a maintainers-only area named something such as "private" where we can load the new directories/files and let everyone have some say in where it should be placed. For example, using DVGT as a guinea pig: I would place dvgt-3_4.zip in /tex-archive/private/dviware/dvgt/dvgt-3_4.zip where I am proposing it be moved into the mirror network sans the "/private" directory (i.e., into .../dviware/dvgt) and if everyone agreed it belonged there in lieu of, say, .../dviware/dvitovdu/dvgt, we could simply promote it via a Unix mv command. In other words, the other sites would get it in their .../private/... to have a look. The critical area here is getting synchronized in terms of file dates. Are we going to (more appropriately, does mirror) make time zone adjustments to filedates so that a "real" time is used (i.e., in CST, we are GMT -6:00, so our times are always 6:00 less than at ftp.tex.ac.uk, except in CDT, when...), use a standard GMT across everyone, or simply copy the time from the original host machine without any adjustments? Finally, as Rainer noted earlier, we will ultimately need to get a listing of non-comprehensive sites (specialized TeX archives, or STAs) and decide who gets the pleasure of mirroring those files into the comprehensive mirroring network system. Given that Rainer already appears to have quite a few sites covered, possibly we can simply cannibilize some from his listing? I'm about half through with the transfer from ftp.tex.ac.uk and hope to run mirror against it within the next few days. Once I get a better feel for how it gets things in place and how it handles some of my questions above, I may be better able to give ideas rather than questions.

Attached for reference is the description file. -George =========================================================================== ASAETR ------ The ASAETR package includes the a UUENCODEd ZIP archive containing the 11 files for version 1.1 (22 December 1992) of James Darrell McCauley's ASAETR file set. This package includes a set of LaTeX and BibTeX styles, with documentation and samples, to make your articles look like those in Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE). Also included are the metafont source file, precompiled PK (at 300dpi) font, and TFM file for the font cmcscsl10. This is not official and not (yet) an accepted way to submit articles to ASAE. The American Society of Agricultural Engineers editorial staff encourages authors to submit electronic manuscripts in the following formats: MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works (preferably Version 2.0), WordPerfect (Version 5.0 or later), and WriteNow. Though LaTeX is not an accepted format to submit articles to ASAE, it does have utility when predicting page length and appearance of an article that you submit. Predicting page length is especially important when submitting "Technical Notes" (which cannot exceed two pages) and when trying to avoid unnecessary page charges. You may retrieve the package of of 4 UUENCODEd files by including: SENDME ASAETR in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). For users of anonymous ftp, the ZIP file is available from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.ASAETR] as ASAETR-1_1.ZIP; the individual files are available in [FILESERV.ASAETR.ASAETR-1_1].

I've just put a .tar.Z file and a (Macintosh) .hqx file of Lollipop v0.93 on cs.utk.edu in /pub/eijkhout/tex. This will be the last official update until the end of the year. This update incorporates most of the comments of users so far. There may be occasional minor updates before the end of the year, but these will upward compatible, and therefore go unannounced.

The Lollipop format tries to bridge the gap between the fact that in TeX anything is programmable, and the fact that doing so is too hard for the people such as typographers, who know actually what to program. Or even for seasoned programmers. Lollipop is a macro package that gives the user powerful tools for programming macros for lists, headings, output routines and a number of other things. The Lollipop macros take the specifications for a macro, and then construct that macro. The status of Lollipop Lollipop is not finished, but it is already quite powerful. (It has been used to typeset my book 'TeX by Topic', for instance.) I suggest that anyone who is interested format the manual and have a look at the examples in it. They document the current power of Lollipop (really: all examples, including of output routines, are formatted on the fly). Since Lollipop is still under development I will be very accessible for questions, bug reports and suggestions. Email preferred: eijkhout@cs.utk.edu. (And I will be flattered if you actually use Lollipop, but beware that changes may occur in future versions.) Lollipop can be ftp'ed from the directory /pub/eijkhout/tex on cs.utk.edu (log in as 'anonymous') where it is stored as 'lollipop.tar.Z'. Uncompress and 'tar -fx' it. The tar file unpacks itself to a subdirectory ./Lollipop-xyz where 'xyz' is the current version. Like a lot of TeXware, Lollipop is free. Make and give away all the copies that you want. Just don't ask money for it, other than reasonable expenses for copying discs or the manual. Share and enjoy!

I have been working with Chris Hamlin at the American Physical Society over the past month or so on getting the new version (3.0) of REVTeX on-line. We have finally gotten all of the files stable and the new version is ready for use. Chris will make the "formal" public announcement on INFO-TeX in the near future. Why this has been a somewhat larger task (w.r.t. file stability, announcement, various politics, etc.) is that the REVTeX 3.0 package remains the official package for the APS (as before) but it is now the formally recognized package for the American Institute of Physics and the Optical Society of America, as well. Essentially, it has been a cooperative effort on the part of 4 file editors in 3 different associations, covering some 27 official periodicals. For obvious reasons, everyone needs to be consulted prior to formalizing this release (which Chris is in the process of). I am attaching the revised description file from FILESERV/Niord so that you, as archivists, have advance warning of this change. The files may be archived and distributed immediately, but please wait for the politically correct public announcement prior to wide dissemination that you have them available. --George *************************************************************************** REVTEX ------ The REVTEX package includes the 26 files necessary for version 3.0 (November 11, 1992) of REVTeX. REVTeX is the macro package that runs on top of LaTeX, which is sponsored by the American Physical Society, the American Institute of Physics, and the Optical Society of America. REVTeX produces compuscripts, which are used by authors for submission and by these organizations for production in their author-prepared program. For the APS, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its: Physical Review A Physical Review B Physical Review C Physical Review D Physical Review E Physical Review Letters For the AIP, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its: American Journal of Physics Chaos Computers in Physics Journal of Applied Physics The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America The Journal of Chemical Physics Journal of Mathematical Physics Journal of Rheology Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B Medical Physics Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Physics of Fluids A Physics of Fluids B Powder Diffraction Review of Scientific Instruments The AIP's Astronomical Journal and Applied Physics Letters are not part of this compuscript program at the present time. Applied Physics Letters may be added to the compuscript program in the future; its weekly nature will make it more challenging. For the OSA, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its: Journal of the Optical Society of America A Journal of the Optical Society of America B Applied Optics Optics Letters All needed instructions for use are contained in the REVTEX.README file and in the accompanying documentation. You may retrieve the entire package of 26 files distributed in 32 parts by including the command: SENDME REVTEX in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). A complete distribution of this version of REVTEX requires all 26 files in this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say REVTEX.README, use the command: SENDME REVTEX.README in your MAIL message to FILESERV.

This new version replaces the previous versions 1.05 and 1.06 which will remain available for some time. You can use Internet anonymous ftp to ftp.math.utah.edu and fetch in binary mode any of these files in pub/tex/bib: -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 689588 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.tar.z -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 512514 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 708075 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zoo For each of these, there are corresponding files with suffix -lst that show the contents: -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5501 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.tar-lst -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5840 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zip-lst -rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 4884 Nov 24 10:25 bibclean-2.05.zoo-lst If you lack anonymous ftp capability, then send an e-mail message with the text "send bibclean-2.05.zip from tex/bib" to tuglib@math.utah.edu (change the file name to whichever format you prefer); the file will be returned in a large number of smaller uuencoded pieces. The previous distributions of bibclean were about 10% of the size of the 2.05 version, so here is why. Bibclean 2.05 is a considerable extension of the previous 1.x versions. The code has grown from a total of 3814 lines in bibclean 1.05 to 13372 lines in 2.05. Much of this growth is in additional files that are provided for enhanced portability. bibclean.c itself grew from 1395 lines to 5632 lines, and that file incorporates an extensive revision history log. Besides prettyprinting of BibTeX bibliography files, the new version now provides conversion of Scribe bibliography files to BibTeX form, and syntax checking of citation tags and string values. These enhancements have proved valuable, in that new errors have been uncovered in almost every bibliography that has been processed with bibclean 2.05. For testing the Scribe conversion, I've used a 36K-line 1800+ entry collection from the Computer Science Department at the University of Arizona. The syntax checking is based on patterns provided in initialization files, allowing extensions and modifications to be made WITHOUT changing the source code of bibclean. System-wide, project-wide, directory-wide, and file-specific customizations are supported. Because bibclean has many new run-time options, besides UNIX manual pages (with PostScript, text, and help forms thereof for other systems), the executable program incorporates an interactive help facility that allows the help display to be scrolled up and down. The help text displayed this way is extracted automatically from the manual pages, ensuring that it remains up-to-date when the documentation is modified in the future. The new distribution incorporates extensive tests of the correctness of bibclean. Testing has been carried out on at least these systems, representing 30 C and C++ compilers and three major operating systems, including the 6 most popular workstation architectures: ============================================================================= System O/S Compiler(s) ============================================================================= DEC VAX VMS 5.4 cc DECstation ULTRIX 4.2 cc, lcc, gcc, g++ HP 370 4.3 BSD cc, CC HP 720 HP-UX c89 HP 850 HP-UX c89 IBM 3090 AIX cc, CC IBM PC DOS 4.0 and 5.0 tcc (2.0, 3.0), tcc++ (3.0), cl (5.1, 6.0) IBM PS/2 AIX cc, CC IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2 c89 MIPS 6280 RISCos 4.52 and 5.2 cc NeXT Mach 3.0 gcc Silicon Graphics IRIX 4.0 cc, lcc, CC Stardent 1520 OS 2.2 cc Sun 4 SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 acc, cc, gcc, g++, CC ============================================================================= The conversion to C++ code goes only as far as the provision of Standard C function headers which are based on the C++ syntax. Old-style (K&R) function headers are also provided; both styles are under C preprocessor control. There is no use whatever of C++ classes, I/O, or comment syntax. Testing under C++ has been so valuable in weeding out errors at compile time that I now do all my C software development using C++ compilers (yes, my DVI 3.0 project supports both C and C++, and no, it is not yet ready for release). For user convenience, the bibclean distribution contains executables in binary and uuencoded form for IBM PC DOS and VAX VMS, since C compilers are extra cost options on those systems. The top-level README file contains detailed installation instructions; here is a short summary: * For the UNIX systems above, all that is required is to select an appropriate definition of CC in the Makefile, set installation directory locations, then type "make all", "make test", and "make install". * For VAX VMS, DCL command files are provided for building and testing. * For IBM PC DOS, there are batch command files and makefiles. * For both VAX VMS and IBM PC DOC, minor customization of the command files and makefiles is needed to set appropriate directory paths the local installation. Enjoy the new bibclean, and as always, please report problems, errors, and comments back to the author. ===============================[The End]================================ ======================================================================== Nelson H.

Notably, this port of DVItoVDU/dvi2vdu/dv/... is make-able under AIX, as well as other platforms. As one would expect, DVGT has the usual bells and whistles associated with version 3.0. Attached is the description listing from FILESERV/Niord. Regards and my thanks to Geoffrey on this, George *************************************************************************** DVGT ---- The DVGT package includes a UUENCODEd ZIP file containing Geoffrey Tobin's modifications to Ian Dall's 3.0 C version of dv (available at anonymous@augean.ua.oz.au:/pub/misc/dv.tar.Z), which is a C port of the original Modula-2 version of DVItoVDU by Andrew Trevorrow. This version is Tobin's modification 4 (1 December 1992) of DVItoVDU version 3.0. As with all programs related to Trevorrow's original effort, this driver allows the visual display of DVI files using PK fonts on a monitor or terminal. Two Makefiles are provided: Makefile.aix for IBM machines (such as the Risc/6000) running AIX. Makefile.sun for Suns and Sparcs running Sun/OS, with gcc. These can serve as templates for other Makefiles. (The AIX one originated >From the Sun Makefile.) In developing this release, Tobin was in contact with Trevorrow, as well as Masahiro Kitagawa , the author of the Japanese version 1.1J. Users of terminals that emulate tek4010 can use the vis550 of one of the other tek4010 emulating terminal drivers listed in the README. An explicit "tek4010" option is not provided, as this would be misleading and so as to make provisions for a real tek4010 driver in a (hypothetical) later release. MS-Kermit 3.xx has a tek4010 emulator which is compatible with the tek4010 emulation modes of DVGT drivers, such as vis550. This version includes the useful ZI/ZO features of 3.0. Zoom is now adjustable. For example, one can say "ZI 1.2" to zoom in by a factor of 1.2. Subsequent uses of ZI and ZO with no explicit factor will continue to zoom 1.2 fold. DVGT supports many other features of 3.0, such as wisely ignoring \special's.

It includes a few fixes and extra files which have appeared on the net since it's original posting on 8 September 1992. Attached is the FILESERV description file. --George *************************************************************************** MFPIC ----- The MFPIC package includes version 0.2 (8 September 1992, updated as of 26 November 1992) of Thomas Leathrum's set of TeX and Metafont macros that essentially draw pictures in a TeX document using Metafont. Additional related files subsequently posted to the network, including support for 4DOS. Also, there's a valuable patch to the new "mfpic.tex", which takes care of the problem that the graphics TFM file is initially absent, and therefore cannot be read. In MFpic, each picture comes out as a single Metafont character; the TeX macros actually write the Metafont file for you, so there's no need to learn Metafont (although you do have to be able to run Metafont); and the TeX macros are things like \axes, \arrow, \circle, \curve, etc., similar in nature (but nowhere near the scope) of PiC-TeX. The advantages of this technique: significantly faster than PiC-TeX (especially on curves), totally printer-independent (unlike \special's).

PSBOX is indeed a neat macro set (which mysteriously doesn't seem to appear on the "normal" TeX archive machines); hence, I am including the description file for FILESERV and Niord in hopes that this will propogate a little better. --George *************************************************************************** PSBOX ----- The PSBOX package includes a UUENCODEd ZIP file of Jean Orloff's psbox (version 1.34, 18 November 1992). Macros to allow (encapsulated) PostScript figures in all versions of TeX on all platforms using a PostScript printer, and to facilitate transfers of files needed to reproduce a TeX document by grouping them all together into a single, TeX'able file.

PSBOX is indeed a neat macro set (which > mysteriously doesn't seem to appear on the "normal" TeX archive machines); its been on ftp.tex.ac.uk since it came out, natch :-} by the way, an American CD company are taking a snapshot of ftp.tex.ac.uk this week for a January release of their disk. sadly, it will be compressed tar archives (i tried hard to get them to use ZIP instead), which is irritating for DOS and Mac users. but it will be a useful reference point for people who want more or less everything thats currently available. in the next couple of days I will check over stuff released in the last month and check ftp.tex.ac.uk is OK. the CD will available for resale by TUG if they are interested. sebastian From bed_gdg@SHSU.edu Thu Dec 31 09:55:14 1992 Flags: 000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from Niord.shsu.edu by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA03253; Thu, 31 Dec 92 09:55:14 MST Received: by SHSU.edu (MX V3.1C) id 15490; Thu, 31 Dec 1992 10:54:14 CST Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1992 10:54:12 CST From: "George D.

I have placed the files on Niord for your access. Attached for reference is the description file. -George =========================================================================== ASAETR ------ The ASAETR package includes the a UUENCODEd ZIP archive containing the 11 files for version 1.1 (22 December 1992) of James Darrell McCauley's ASAETR file set. This package includes a set of LaTeX and BibTeX styles, with documentation and samples, to make your articles look like those in Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE). Also included are the metafont source file, precompiled PK (at 300dpi) font, and TFM file for the font cmcscsl10. This is not official and not (yet) an accepted way to submit articles to ASAE. The American Society of Agricultural Engineers editorial staff encourages authors to submit electronic manuscripts in the following formats: MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works (preferably Version 2.0), WordPerfect (Version 5.0 or later), and WriteNow. Though LaTeX is not an accepted format to submit articles to ASAE, it does have utility when predicting page length and appearance of an article that you submit. Predicting page length is especially important when submitting "Technical Notes" (which cannot exceed two pages) and when trying to avoid unnecessary page charges. You may retrieve the package of of 4 UUENCODEd files by including: SENDME ASAETR in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). For users of anonymous ftp, the ZIP file is available from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.ASAETR] as ASAETR-1_1.ZIP; the individual files are available in [FILESERV.ASAETR.ASAETR-1_1].
