I've stopped making the library available separately, since that was causing maintenance hassles. The library is part of the xdvik distribution. I've established a mailing list, tex-k@cs.umb.edu, for bug reports and discussions for the TeX-related stuff I maintain. I hope this will provide for sharing of interim fixes, quicker help when I cannot respond immediately, and so on. To join, email tex-k-request@cs.umb.edu with a message whose body contains a line subscribe your-preferred-email-address I expect to release a new version of dvipsk shortly, perhaps within a week or two. web2c will follow as soon as possible. Here's the NEWS: kpathsea: * Routines to look up TeX font files, default path specifications, etc. * Sort-of pattern matching: /foo//bar matches subdirectories /foo/a/bar, /foo/b/bar, /foo/a1/a2/bar, etc. * $var and ${var} expansion. * Support for MakeTeX... scripts. * Support for fallback resolutions and font. * Lazy evaluation of path elements. * Some runtime debugging support. xdvik: * Rewrite font finding routines to use the new kpathsea facilities. * Update for xdvi patchlevel 17. psfonts: * In Adobe StandardEncoding, and named with leading `r', for the new xdvik. * TFM widths in the PK files match those in the TFM files. * Umlaut character has been corrected (in the GS fonts). * Encoding of psyr* (the symbol font) matches Adobe's. karl@cs.umb.edu Help fight the new programming monopolies -- write lpf@uunet.uu.net.

F. Beebe at math.utah.edu; requests for list addition or deletion should be mailed to tex-archive-request@math.utah.edu so as to reach administration staff, rather than the whole list. The tex-archive list is unmoderated, so postings are forwarded immediately to the entire membership (62 addresses as of 1-Sep-1993). Archives of the tex-archive list postings are maintained on ftp.math.utah.edu in the anonymous ftp directory pub/tex/mail in these files: -rw-rw-r-- 1 daemon 50282 Aug 26 16:02 tex-archive.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 600329 Nov 18 1991 tex-archive_910701.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 50075 Aug 27 1991 tex-archive_910901.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 139758 Nov 18 1991 tex-archive_911115.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 153204 Feb 27 1992 tex-archive_920225.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 56936 Apr 2 1992 tex-archive_920401.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 139165 Jun 19 1992 tex-archive_920601.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 92474 Jul 1 1992 tex-archive_920701.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 38611 Aug 3 1992 tex-archive_920801.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 beebe 22200 Sep 28 1992 tex-archive_920901.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 132254 Jan 5 1993 tex-archive_921231.txt All mail sent to tex-archive@math.utah.edu is automatically copied to the tex-archive.txt file in pub/tex/mail as it is transferred, so you should always be able to find up-to-date archives there. The mailing list and archive directory are on the same machine, so correspondence should never be lost; if the machine is down, mail and ftp are too. The mail file is stored in UNIX mbox format, which means that messages are simply appended to the file with headers intact, and no intervening separator lines to allow identification of the start of a message (like those provided by TOPS-20 mm and UNIX mm /txt format). Consequently, message bodies are munged to change initial "From " to ">From " (yucch!! there are 56 such changes in the above files, with unpleasant results if the contents get typeset without zapping the > chars). Periodically, the contents of mail .txt files are moved to a file originalbasename_yymmdd.txt, where yymmdd marks the date of the LAST posting to the file. An alphabetical sort of file names is then also a chronological sort. If you lack Internet anonymous ftp access, you can retrieve the archives by e-mail; send a message to tuglib@math.utah.edu with the text help send index from tex/mail to get started, or send tex-archive.txt from tex/mail to get a particular file. ======================================================================== Nelson H.

his seemed better tested than previous. I have ftp'ed the new version of the `modes.mf' file. I don't see any difference between the `laserjetfour' mode in version 1.0 and version 1.1. This seems to be a mistake? Anyway, the text accompanying the `laserjetfour' mode definition says (among other things): % [..] The |blacker| value was % chosen to make 12pt text look good; for 10pt text, set |blacker=.66|. If this means that the |blacker| parameter should be set to anything above 0.1 (or perhaps 0.2), then I have to disagree. Perhaps it has been thoroughly tested, but evidently different people have different tastes. (I don't want to simulate a 300dpi printer with a 600dpi printer ;-) When we got our first LaserJet 4 printer, I tried all the 600dpi modes in the `modes.mf' file. At that time, there were three such modes: IBMFourZeroTwoNine (with blacker = 0.05) VarityperFiveZeroSixZeroW (with blacker = 0.7) VarityperSixZeroZero (with blacker = 0) Clearly, the value 0.7 for |blacker| was way too much. The output was `woolly' (like when you overexpose with a phototypesetter). I wanted the output to be crisp and sharp. I found that to be the case with the `IBMFourZeroTwoNine' and the `VarityperSixZeroZero' modes. I ended up choosing the `IBMFourZeroTwoNine' mode (which I'm still using). Another point to consider: If you intend to use the AMS Euler fonts, you should remember that these fonts ignore the |blacker| parameter. Thus, if you specify a high value (such as 0.7) for |blacker|, you will see a large difference between the text and the math: the Euler letters will appear very light within the dark body of CM or Concrete text. --- Frank Jensen, fj@iesd.auc.dk Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Aalborg University DENMARK From @rhbnc.ac.uk,@vax.rhbnc.ac.uk:P.Taylor@rhbnc.ac.uk Thu Nov 25 09:31:51 1993 Flags: 000000000001 Return-Path: <@rhbnc.ac.uk,@vax.rhbnc.ac.uk:P.Taylor@rhbnc.ac.uk> Received: from sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA08843; Thu, 25 Nov 93 09:31:51 MST Via: uk.ac.rhbnc; Thu, 25 Nov 1993 16:00:37 +0000 Via: uk.ac.rhbnc.vax; Thu, 25 Nov 1993 15:57:24 +0000 Date: Thu, 25 NOV 93 15:57:13 GMT From: P.Taylor@rhbnc.ac.uk To: TEX-ARCHIVE <@RHBNC.AC.UK,@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk:TEX-ARCHIVE@MATH.UTAH.EDU> Subject: Away on a trip Actually-To: Original-Sender: JANET "CHAA006@UK.AC.RHBNC.VAX" Message-Id: <254082BE_00072A58.009761343353CBBC$10_2@UK.AC.RHBNC.VAX> Reply-To: Philip Taylor (RHBNC) Originally-To: CBS%UK.AC.NSFNET-RELAY::DK.AUC.IESD::FJ,CBS%UK.AC.NSFNET-RELAY::EDU.UTAH.MATH::TEX-ARCHIVE Mailer: Janet_Mailshr V3.5 ( 13-OCT-1989 14:07:27 ) I'm sorry, I'm away in the Czech Republic (Hrdonov/Brno/Prague) until 7th December; I'll _try_ to read my mail from there, but I cannot predict how good/bad the Internet connectivity will be.
