Some default values substituted from the Makefile. * Under -DSECURE, reading of absolute_p files is prohibited. xdvik: 1.5 (24 January 1994) * Try again to make the signal handling more reliable on the Alpha. * Debugging option for EPS previewing. * Magstep rounding consistent with dvipsk. * xdvi -version by itself doesn't provoke a usage message. * Make j a synonym for j.

While the ftp sites listed below have just about everything useful for users of TeX on a variety of operating systems, our retrieval instructions -- intended solely for users with machines running Unix -- are limited to the programs mentioned above. The three ftp sites mentioned below are part of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). CTAN is the result of cooperative work among members of TUG, DANTE [German-speaking TeX Users Group], and UKTUG [U.K. TeX Users Group], under the leadership of George Greenwade, Chair for TUG's Technical Working Group on TeX Archive Guidelines. Special thanks to George Greenwade for establishing the CTAN site at Sam Houston State University (US), to Rainer Schoepf for the CTAN site at the University of Stuttgart (FRG), and to Sebastian Rahtz for the CTAN site at Aston University (UK).

Upon logging on (to ftp.shsu.edu), retrieve and read README.archive-features and README.site-commands to learn how to use the archive efficiently. We assume that you will have read these documents and will be able to use the information in them to make retrieval more convenient for yourself. For example, by reading these files, you will learn that you will be able to retrieve foo.tar.gz even if the file does not exist, because the ftpd allows archiving and compressing files on the fly. In our instructions, the mode of compression used during retrieval is gzip. All files ending in .gz are gzipped. We encourage you to retrieve and install GNU's gunzip utility, part of the gzip package. Set "binary" by typing "bi" at your ftp prompt, and retrieve the file ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip/gzip-.tar It does a better job of compression than standard Unix compress; and it is (as far as is known) patent-free. It is illegal to use Unix compress for software on the net, because it infringes on a software patent.

The AMS fonts and macros are included. It unpacks into a directory named `texmf', which you will want in your equivalent of /usr/local/lib -- whatever you defined as your $(datadir) in the Makefiles. The organization of the archive was debated at great length. We hope it will be useful. If you don't like our organization, you should move the files around as you see fit, not forgetting to redefine the search paths and installation directories. The Makefiles, kpathsea/HIER, kpathsea/paths.h.in, and web2c/README (``Directory hierarchies'') have more tidbits of information. We advise unpacking this and deciding on your directory structure *before* doing the compilations. For web2c: --------- Special thanks here to Karl Berry, Unix System Coordinator for TUG.

They unbundle into a single directory called ./web2c-. The web2c software converts the WEB source files (in which TeX, Metafont, & family are written) to C source.

Special thanks to George Greenwade for establishing the CTAN site at Sam Houston State University (US); to Rainer Schoepf, Barbara Burr, and members of DANTE for the CTAN site at the University of Stuttgart (FRG); and to Sebastian Rahtz for the CTAN site at Aston University (UK). These archives mirror each other meticulously. Please use the host nearest you: Host Internet address TeX root dir ---- ---------------- ------------ ftp.shsu.edu 192.92.115.10 tex-archive ftp.tex.ac.uk 134.151.44.19 tex-archive ftp.dante.de 128.69.1.12 tex-archive Users of ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.dante.de will be able to retrieve the same tex-archive files, but site-specific files (i.e., the two mentioned in the next paragraph) may be named differently. Upon logging on (to ftp.shsu.edu), retrieve and read README.archive-features and README.site-commands to learn how to use the archive efficiently. We assume that you will have read these documents and will be able to use the information in them to make retrieval more convenient for yourself. For example, by reading these files, you will learn that you will be able to retrieve foo.tar.gz even if the file does not exist, because the ftpd allows archiving and compressing files on the fly. In our instructions, the mode of compression used during retrieval is gzip. All files ending in .gz are gzipped. We encourage you to retrieve and install GNU's gunzip utility, part of the gzip package. Set "binary" by typing "bi" at your ftp prompt, and retrieve the file ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip/gzip-.tar It does a better job of compression than standard Unix compress; and it is (as far as is known) patent-free. It is illegal to use Unix compress for software on the net, because it infringes on a software patent. To inform yourself about the new software monopolies in the U.S., send mail to the League for Programming Freedom: lpf@uunet.uu.net For a basic set of input files and fonts: ---------------------------------------- ftp> cd tex-archive/systems/web2c ftp> bi [for binary retrieval] ftp> get lib.tar.gz This file contains a small collection of fonts (TFM files only), (La)TeX macros, MF macros, and BibTeX files, enough to get started. The AMS fonts and macros are included. It unpacks into a directory named `texmf', which you will want in your equivalent of /usr/local/lib -- whatever you defined as your $(datadir) in the Makefiles. The organization of the archive was debated at great length. We hope it will be useful. If you don't like our organization, you should move the files around as you see fit, not forgetting to redefine the search paths and installation directories. The Makefiles, kpathsea/HIER, kpathsea/paths.h.in, and web2c/README (``Directory hierarchies'') have more tidbits of information. We advise unpacking this and deciding on your directory structure *before* doing the compilations. For web2c: --------- Special thanks here to Karl Berry, Unix System Coordinator for TUG. He improves/develops/maintains web2c, modes.mf, dvipsk, and xdvik (and other things not mentioned in this file). He also maintains pub/tex on ftp.cs.umb.edu, which is the originating location for all the files above and below. [still in tex-archive/systems/web2c] ftp> get web.tar.gz [Knuth's WEB sources for TeX, MF, & family: unpacks into ./web2c-] ftp> get web2c.tar.gz [WEB-to-C source: unpacks into ./web2c-] It is important to retrieve and unpack both web.tar.gz and web2c.tar.gz. They unbundle into a single directory called ./web2c-. The web2c software converts the WEB source files (in which TeX, Metafont, & family are written) to C source. The input and font files are needed to dump the format and base files required to run plain TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont. For an X window system previewer (xdvik) ------------------------------- and PostScript device driver (dvipsk): ------------------------------------- ftp> cd ../../dviware/xdvik ftp> get xdvik.tar.gz [unpacks into ./xdvik-] ftp> cd ../dvipsk ftp> get dvipsk.tar.gz [unpacks into dvipsk-] ftp> cd ../../fonts/cm/pk ftp> get pk300.zip [Basic set of bitmapped fonts generated by Metafont using the CanonCX mode_def for write-black 300dpi devices. If using the web2c default search paths, place this set of Computer Modern bitmapped fonts in $(fontdir)/public/cm/pk/cx. These pk fonts are not strictly necessary; dvips and xdvi can be used with a script called `MakeTeXPK' to generate needed bitmapped fonts. Use $(fontdir)/tmp/pk/cx as the temporary destination directory for newly-generated 300dpi write-black fonts. The zip/unzip package is in ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip.] ftp> get pk300w.zip [Bitmapped fonts generated using the RicohFourZeroEightZero mode_def; pk300w (write-white) fonts are better with xdvi at lower magnifications. If using the web2c default search paths, place these in $(fontdir)/public/cm/pk/ricoh. If using MakeTeXPK to generate 300dpi write-white fonts, use $(fontdir)/tmp/pk/ricoh as the temporary destination directory for newly-generated 300dpi write-white fonts.] ftp> quit [end ftp session] We believe this covers the retrieval of the essential files. Each of the three packages -- web2c, xdvik, dvipsk -- contains its own installation instructions. If you have never set up these programs before, compile web2c first (that is to say, the material in both web.tar.gz and web2c.tar.gz, unpacked); begin by reading ./web2c-/web2c/README and ./web2c-/web2c/INSTALL. Remember to set up your texmf directory hierarchy before embarking on your compilation (see "For a basic set of input files and fonts" above). All installation processes require careful attention to detail, and knowledge of your system. "Make haste slowly", and you improve your chances of success. How to make web2c, dvipsk, and xdvik in a single make: ----------------------------------------------------- [Thanks to Martyn Johnson, Pierre MacKay, Jon Peatfield, and Andreas Schott for their notes.] These three programs are not packaged together, because the latter two are updated fairly frequently. But (thanks to Karl's work), the programs can be made in a single make: Extract the three archives so that the following directories are parallel to each other: ./dvipsk- ./web2c- ./xdvik- Next: mv dvipsk-/dvipsk web2c- mv xdvik-/xdvik web2c- ./web2c- should now contain four subdirectories: dvipsk, kpathsea, web2c, and xdvik. The files remaining in ./dvipsk- and ./xdvik- are identical in all three archives. If you wish, you can now remove ./dvipsk- and ./xdvik-. If you wish to retain the names and versions of the programs, you can create the following symbolic links: ln -s web2c- dvipsk- ln -s web2c- xdvik- Be sure to read web2c-/README, web2c-/web2c/INSTALL, web2c-/dvipsk/INSTALL, and web2c-/xdvik/INSTALL. Make sure that you have completed the instructions in the section above called "For a basic set of input files and fonts". You are now ready to begin configuring and building the programs. Network users interested in TeX software will find much that is useful in the following FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) documents on rtfm.mit.edu (18.70.0.209) in ~pub/usenet/comp.text.tex: T,_L,_e.:_F_A_Q_w_A_[M] (i.e., TeX, LaTeX, etc.: FAQ with Answers [Monthly]) There is also a supplement to the FAQ containing FTP locations; it's in the same place on rtfm.mit.edu. A beautifully done index of macros for TeX and LaTeX is available on theory.lcs.mit.edu (18.52.0.92) in ~/pub/tex/TeX-index. These files are all included in ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/src.tar.gz. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are concerned about connect-time, search or retrieval problems, or require help in building and installing the basic TeX/LaTeX and Metafont programs on your machines, you may wish to consider ordering a distribution tape from us (address below).

In my varied capacities as coordinator of another CTAN host, chair of TUG's Technical Working Group on TeX Archive Guidelines, TeX user, TUG Board member, member of TUG's Executive Committee (or any other even quasi-official TeX-related capacity which slips my mind at the moment), please allow me to extend my warmest gratitude to DANTE for their far-sighted and far-reaching participation in the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. The performance and access of DANTE's new dedicated server at Heidelberg provides a vast improvement over the much-appreciated but terribly overburdened generic server at Stuttgart. It's obviously going to take some time getting used to saying "DANTE" or "Heidelberg" instead of "Stuttgart" and there are going to be occasions where the terms are mis-applied (some of Aston and Heidelberg's informational files still point to Stuttgart!; I just edited mine to reflect the change, but I probably wouldn't have had I not seen your post). A little gentle prodding and correcting will certainly be in order to get people to use the proper site or reference name, and I feel confident that references will be changed as quickly as they are pointed out.

You can get them by ftp: ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz Soon they should be on the ctan hosts as well, in tex-archive/dvi. Aside from kpathsea-ification and Autoconf-ization, dviljk also supports the LaserJet 4 builtin fonts (thanks to Norm Walsh, who built the actual TeX TFM's from HP TFM's). (The alpha9 version of the original dvi2xx also does so, and Eberhard Mattes' dvi-to-lj driver will probably do so also in the near future, so you aren't stuck with my idiosyncratic software just to use the builtin fonts.) The external ls-R database below isn't optimal yet -- the list of font directories still winds up being built, because of searches for nonexistent vf files. I'll address this next time out. Here's the NEWS for the other releases: kpathsea 1.7 * Searches can use an externally-built ls-R ``database'', for speed. * `VPATH = .' lines removed from generated Makefile, for broken Sun make. * A path foo//tfm finds foo/tfm as well as foo/*/tfm. xdvik 1.7 (1 March 1994) * Use DEFAULT_FIG_PATH, instead of DEFAULT_TEX_PATH (they are the same by default, anyway). * EPS displays take the magnification into account (thanks to Jon Peatfield). * EPS displays support the angle option from psfig 1.10 (thanks to Uwe Bon). * The Metafont mode for MakeTeXPK can be set via the command line, an X resource, an environment variable, or at compile-time. * Support for the SelFile widget (thanks to Jon Peatfield). * XDVIFONTS only overrides font-related paths, not all paths. dvipsk 5.528a * DVIPSFONTS only overrides font-related paths. * By default, append mode to MakeTeXPK installation directory. * Update for dvips 5.528.

The AMS has produced some temporary patch versions of the primary files in the AMS-LaTeX distribution for ambitious users who would like to test them with the current preliminary release of LaTeX2e. These files are available on the AMS archive (e-math.ams.org) in the directory /ams/amslatex/temp-2e. Note that they only make a few adjustments to run without error in the `compatibility mode' of LaTeX2e. Development work is under way to produce version 1.2 of AMS-LaTeX which will be designed specifically for LaTeX2e. I.e., it will contain documentclass files that take advantage of various improvements provided by LaTeX2e. If all goes well AMS-LaTeX 1.2 will be released more or less simultaneously with the first full, official release of LaTeX2e, i.e. the release that makes LaTeX2.09 obsolete and makes `standard LaTeX' synonymous with LaTeX2e. The AMS strongly supports the LaTeX3 project and will continue the development of AMS-LaTeX in keeping with LaTeX development. LaTeX2e is an important step in this development because it makes AMS-LaTeX installation much easier: generating a separate LaTeX format file will no longer be required. The AMS encourages LaTeX users to upgrade their environment to LaTeX2e when the full, official release is made available.

You can join this list by sending email to tex-eplain-request@cs.umb.edu containing a single line subscribe you@preferred.email.address Here is a summary of the most significant changes (from the file NEWS in the distribution): * Double column macros revamped (thanks to guichard@fermat.whitman.edu) so \singlecolumn can be invoked on the same page as \doublecolumns. 3- and 4-column typesetting also supported. Column ejects also supported (sort of). * \parskip set to zero before each footnote (but not for the footnote text). * \ref and \cite conflicts with amstex described in manual. * \catcode of @ properly restored (reported by adam@symcom.math.uiuc.edu). * `| ' in \verbatim argument documented (also reported by adam). * | not hardwired as the \verbatim escape character (thanks to dorai@cs.rice.edu). * Defining \noarrow before eplain.tex is read omits arrow macros (suggested by Rex Shudde <0024P@NAVPGS.BITNET> and murray@macadam.mpce.mq.edu.au.) For those who haven't previously 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'. kb@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom---write to lpf@uunet.uu.net. 2-Apr-1994 20:24:05-GMT,1433;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from terminus.cs.umb.edu by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA16521; Sat, 2 Apr 94 13:18:56 MST Received: by terminus.cs.umb.edu id AA27190 (5.65c/IDA-1.4.4); Sat, 2 Apr 1994 15:18:10 -0500 Date: Sat, 2 Apr 1994 15:18:10 -0500 From: "K.

I worked until late last night to get the ftp server on ftp.math.utah.edu upgraded to this latest version; comparison of sources with the previous version did not find any Trojan Horse code, so I don't believe that our ftp host has been compromised. Ftp access to our site was shut down for a few hours yesterday while I investigated this. The CERT message does not describe how the ftpd code was modified, but examination of the code shows that it would be quite easy to change one of the set*uid() function calls to leave a remote user with root privileges on the ftp server, perhaps only when certain ftp commands were issued, or when a particular username@hostname password was provided. I will shortly be making available the extended ftpd code, but instead of placing it in an anonymous ftp directory where it could be corrupted by a successful breakin, I will make separate arrangements for the transfer of the code with anyone who requests it. During installation and testing on several architectures, I found that the code has undocumented features that are useful, and which I will document before releasing the modified version. The older extended version of the ftpd program that has been available until now in ftp.math.utah.edu:/pub/misc/ftpd.trz has been deleted; if you have copies of ANY ftpd code in your archives, I suggest you seriously consider removing them.

We strongly recommend that any site running the wuarchive ftpd take steps to immediately install version 2.3, or disable their FTP daemon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description Some copies of the source code for versions 2.2 and 2.1f of the wuarchive ftpd were modified by an intruder, and contain a Trojan horse. If your FTP daemon was compiled from the intruder-modified source code, you are vulnerable. It is possible that previous versions of the source code for the server were modified in a similar manner. If you are running the wuarchive ftpd, but not providing anonymous FTP access, you are still vulnerable to this Trojan horse. II. Impact An intruder can gain root access on a host running an FTP daemon that contains this Trojan horse. III. Solution We strongly recommend that any site running the wuarchive ftpd (version 2.2 or earlier) take steps to immediately install version 2.3. If you cannot install the new version in a timely manner, you should disable FTP service. It is not sufficient to disable anonymous FTP. You must disable the FTP daemon. Sites can obtain version 2.3 via anonymous FTP from ftp.uu.net, in the "/networking/ftp/wuarchive-ftpd" directory. We recommend that you turn off your FTP server until you have installed the new version. Be certain to verify the checksum information to confirm that you have retrieved a valid copy.

The first is a vulnerability with the SITE EXEC command feature of the FTP daemon (ftpd) found in versions of ftpd that support the SITE EXEC feature. This vulnerability allows local or remote users to gain root access. The second vulnerability involves a race condition found in the ftpd implementations listed in Section I. below. This vulnerability allows local users to gain root access. Sites using these implementations are vulnerable even if they do not support anonymous FTP. As these vulnerabilities are widely known, we strongly recommend that any site running a version of ftpd listed below take steps to immediately upgrade or disable their FTP daemon. Also potentially at risk are sites whose ftpd is derived from the DECWRL or wuarchive ftpd code containing the SITE EXEC feature. For additional information or assistance, contact the developer or vendor of your ftpd implementation. If we receive additional information relating to this advisory, we will place it, along with any clarifications, in a README file available by anonymous FTP from info.cert.org (e.g., /pub/cert_advisories/CA-94:xx.README). We encourage you to check our README files regularly for updates on advisories that relate to your site. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description There is a vulnerability in the SITE EXEC command feature of ftpd that allows any remote or local user to obtain root access. There is also a vulnerability due to a race condition in these implementations. Versions known to be vulnerable to these problems are: wuarchive ftpd versions 2.0-2.3 (version 2.2 patched the SITE EXEC problem, but not the race condition) DECWRL ftpd versions prior 5.93 BSDI ftpd version 1.1 prior to patch 5 The SITE EXEC vulnerability affects your ftpd only if the SITE EXEC command feature has been explicitly activated at your site. This functionality is not activated by default. Sites that have not enabled the SITE EXEC feature are not at risk from this vulnerability. However, since the race condition does not have an easily applied workaround, CERT recommends that you upgrade to one of the versions listed below. II. Impact Anyone (remote or local) can gain root access on a host running a vulnerable FTP daemon. Support for anonymous FTP is not required to exploit this vulnerability. III. Solution Affected sites can solve both of these problems by upgrading to the latest version of ftpd. These versions are listed below. Be certain to verify the checksum information to confirm that you have retrieved a valid copy. If you cannot install the new version in a timely manner, you should disable FTP service until you have corrected this problem. It is not sufficient to disable anonymous FTP. You must disable the FTP daemon. For wuarchive ftpd, you can obtain version 2.4 via anonymous FTP from wuarchive.wustl.edu, in the "/packages/wuarchive-ftpd" directory. If you are currently running version 2.3, a patch file is available.

We also wish to thank Bryan O'Connor and Chris Myers of Washington University in St. Louis, Paul Vixie of Vixie Enterprises, and Tony Sanders of BSDI for their invaluable assistance in resolving this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact the CERT Coordination Center or your representative in the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). If you wish to send sensitive incident or vulnerability information to CERT via electronic mail, CERT strongly advises that the e-mail be encrypted. CERT can support a shared DES key, PGP (public key available via anonymous FTP on info.cert.org), or PEM (contact CERT for details).

It contains information about a full-text retrieval system that has recently become available on the Internet. I have it operational here on Sun systems running SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.2, creating nightly full-text inverted indexes to all of my TeX files, my BibTeX files, and my e-mail. It seems to me that archivists are likely to frequently find themselves in the situation of wanting to find material in a large collection, and failing because all they had was filenames, grep searchs through gigabytes being impractical. This software provides a solution, with responses possible in a second or two, independent of the size of the original archive. I'm in regular contact with the authors of this package, and the provision of a slightly modified copy at Utah is merely a stopgap measure until they get out from under the Fall semester startup in Melbourne, and are able to extend their master distribution with my improvements, at which point the Utah copy will disappear. I'm pointing you toward this software now because I think that many of you will find it useful. In particular, I believe that it would make feasible a new on-line archive service: full-text indexing of the entire CTAN archive to anonymous remote users, and I toss this idea out to whomever wants to grab it, since I haven't the time to undertake it myself. Some of you may have tried the computer graphics bibliography lookup service at siggraph.org (telnet there, login with username biblio (no password), and type help to get started): it uses the biblook/bibindex tools to provide the lookup. Unfortunately, this has two limitations: (1) biblook/bibindex in their current implementations do not scale well to very large collections (work is underway to address this issue) (2) biblook/bibindex provide a solution only for BibTeX files. The package below will do it for ANY collection of files, including ones with images. >> ... >> Last week, I discovered an important new book dealing with the problem >> of full-text retrieval: namely, the indexing of gigabyte-size document >> collections to allow information retrieval with Boolean and ranked >> queries for any word in the original documents.

Your response (I paraphrase from memory) was roughly ``Your MetaFont is pathetically small; build a bigger one!''. However, many correspondents who saw my original message supported the assertion that Modes.Mf simply takes too much space, and invariably they used only a tiny fraction of it in their production MetaFont inputs, retaining only the modes that were of local interest. As this problem clearly affects many MetaFont implementations apart from VAX/VMS, I wonder whether I might ask you to re-consider the mechanism on which Modes.Mf is based, and if possible to come up with an alternative which is capable of returning the space used bu unused mode_defs to the pool? I do not know if this is feasible, but it seems worth investigating.

Karl just provides a resource. Because RHBNC does not operate in a proscriptive regime. If any user wishes to use MetaFont, they are perfectly entitled so to do; it is not for me to say which devices are supported and which are not. Karl, in his earlier message to me, implied that the normal way to use Modes.Mf is to use it as-is, not to edit it down to a subset suitable for a particular site. My point was that many MetaFont implementations are incapable of using Modes.Mf as-is, and to ask Karl if there might be a more efficient mechanism than a simple series of mode_defs. ** Phil. 31-May-1994 16:56:56-GMT,1073;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from mail-relay.ja.net by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA28655; Tue, 31 May 94 10:56:23 MDT Via: uk.ac.rhbnc.vax; Tue, 31 May 1994 17:55:57 +0100 Date: Tue, 31 MAY 94 17:55:50 BST From: CHAA006@VAX.RHBNC.AC.UK To: tex-archive Subject: PEB tools in CTAN Actually-To: Message-Id: <2443AC1E_000DF7E0.0097F436C12B7D28$51_1@UK.AC.RHBNC.VAX> Reply-To: Philip Taylor Originally-To: $TEX-ARCHIVE Originally-From: CHAA006 "Philip Taylor " Mailer: Janet_Mailshr V3.6b ( 8-APR-1994 18:36:11 ) Dear Colleagues -- Many of Peter Breitenlohner's excellents tools for MS/DOS seem to have become corrupted in uploading to CTAN; of all the .BOO files to be found in ...Breitenlohner, only DVICOPY, GFTODVI, TANGLE and WEAVE will successfully DEBOO.

Dear TeX ARCHIVE MAINTANER LIST, [Thank you for all the positive replies ... so this time I'll only ask those who do NOT wish news about XY-pic or who get it from other sources to send me an email saying so :-] This is to announce yet another BUG FIX release of my DIAGRAM DRAWING PACKAGE, XY-pic: version 2.11. It fixes the following user visible bugs in version 2.10: * Arrow tips were reversed in a few cases (thanks to Clemens Beckstein for finding this (also)). * Repeated labels on arrows now works. * The PostScript backend sometimes did curves wrong; this is fixed. Futhermore it adds a new `Graph Combinator feature' which is specially designed for enterting diagrams with graph structure. Please test it and comment on it. Please retrieve the new version by anonymous ftp from ftp.diku.dk : /diku/users/kris/TeX ftp.mpce.mq.edu.au : /pub/maths/TeX or the CTAN `macros/generic/diagrams/xypic' mirror which will be up to date in a day or so.

Berry" Message-Id: <199407221039.AA00821@terminus.cs.umb.edu> To: karl@cs.umb.edu Subject: modes 2.0 available I have released version 2.0 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!) file server if you cannot ftp: email fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of `sendme modes'. This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and landscape mode. No new modes, but I've renamed all the modes so the primary names are <= eight characters and all lowercase, and hence portable directory names. This also saves a bit of memory, though not enough ... if you have the table sizes from mf.web, modes.mf will eat up too much string space to do any actual font generation. You can work around this by either increasing the table sizes (as in web2c's mf.ch), or by removing unneeded modes from modes.mf and renaming the file.

Berkeley Math. Department. Keywords: OK, so this is a little late, but: This is to announce that patchlevel 18 for xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files under the X Window System, has been released. This is a full release, as opposed to a patch, due to the extent of the changes. It is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org in the file contrib/applications/xdvi.tar.Z (and coming soon to a mirror site near you...). It is also available on the R6 contrib tape. This version adds: o Support for PostScript specials. o Checking of checksums in the .dvi file vs. the .pk or .gf file. o Non-square magnifying glasses. As was mentioned in the announcement of patch 17, it removes support for X10 and for the pxl font format. --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu 8-Aug-1994 22:22:48-GMT,1605;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from math.berkeley.edu by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA15999; Mon, 8 Aug 94 16:22:48 MDT Received: from palms.berkeley.edu by math.berkeley.edu (8.6.8/1.33(math)Ow) id PAA20930; Mon, 8 Aug 1994 15:22:32 -0700 From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta) Received: (vojta@localhost) by palms.berkeley.edu (8.6.8/8.6.4) id PAA06823; Mon, 8 Aug 1994 15:22:43 -0700 Date: Mon, 8 Aug 1994 15:22:43 -0700 Message-Id: <199408082222.PAA06823@palms.berkeley.edu> To: TeXhax@ftp.tex.ac.uk, tex-archive@math.utah.edu Subject: Announcing gsftopk 1.7 This is to announce the availability of Version 1.7 of gsftopk. gsftopk is a package whose purpose is to allow use of PostScript fonts with xdvi. It consists of: 1. A program called gsftopk.c which creates pk font files for the PostScript fonts. The bitmaps are obtained from ghostscript. 2. A script called xdvimakepk which is to be used in place of MakeTeXPK in xdvi. The package requires the use of a dvips-style psfonts.map file. The package is available via anonymous ftp from math.berkeley.edu in the file pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.tar.Z. To upgrade from version 1.6 you may use pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.patch7.Z instead. gsftopk is also released as a subpackage of xdvi. Version 1.7 of gsftopk (or a later version) will be part of patchlevel 19 of xdvi. Patchlevel 18 of xdvi includes only gsftopk 1.6. Version 1.7 adds the ability to do subdirectory searching, using the same // semantics as the web2c release of TeX, et. al. --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu 15-Aug-1994 16:30:28-GMT,1564;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from vzdmza.zdv.uni-mainz.de by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA02332; Mon, 15 Aug 94 10:29:27 MDT Received: from DECNET-DAEMON (KNAPPEN@VKPMZD) by VzdmzA.ZDV.Uni-Mainz.DE (PMDF V4.2-11 #4432) id <01HFY4VXOD2O003CIY@VzdmzA.ZDV.Uni-Mainz.DE>; Mon, 15 Aug 1994 18:26:52 +0100 Date: Mon, 15 Aug 1994 18:26:50 +0100 From: KNAPPEN@VKPMZD.kph.Uni-Mainz.DE Subject: Announcement: Sauter tools Version 2.2 To: info-tex@shsu.edu, metafont@dmi.fr, tex-archive@math.utah.edu, texhax@tex.ac.uk Message-Id: <01HFY4VXSDQQ003CIY@VzdmzA.ZDV.Uni-Mainz.DE> X-Envelope-To: tex-archive@math.utah.edu X-Vms-To: @[-]SAUTER.DIS Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Today, the Version 2.2 of the Sauter parameter files have been installed at the german CTAN site and should propagate to the other ones in the next 24 hours.

News: No new modes, but I've added landscape definitions for all the devices with meaningfully nonsquare aspect ratios, named as the primary device with an `l' appended. Some primary names were changed to be shorter as a result, but the old names are still there as synonyms. I've also been told that `ljfour' is suitable for the Apple Select 360, and that the Xerox 4050 mode works for the Xerox 4700, so that information is included. It's generally of no use to mail me about devices not in modes.mf; everything I know about is described therein. It also includes lots of text about how to create a new mode_def, etc. General information: modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c) or rename the file and remove unneeded modes.

The old machine runs SunOS 4.1.3, and the new ones, Solaris 2.3 (== SunOS 5.3). We spent many hours tracking down and fixing two problems that showed up. (1) On the new system, the protection of ~ftp/etc was accidentally set incorrectly. The effect of this was that a bare `ls' command in an ftp client would list files (it is handled by special code inside ftpd itself), but a `dir' or `ls -switches' command would fail (that requires invocation of /bin/ls). At least if it happens in the future, we'll know where to look; other sites can learn the lesson >From our experience. (2) The `quote site index' command failed to work, returning as its output a string like "cannot open /dev/fd/10", instead of the expected list of matching file names. This one took much longer to track down, and required attaching the dbx debugger to the ftpd process after it had started. It turns out that in Solaris 2.x, when a file executed by the exec*() family of systems calls is found to begin with #!/bin/sh the kernel knows that the indicated program, /bin/sh, must be started with the script file itself as the input to the program. Presumably, in SunOS 4.x, this was done by simply opening the file, and then duplicating the file descriptor of the file's handle to 0, that of standard input. In Solaris 2.x, there is a new file system called /dev/fd, (fd == file descriptor); its files are named by numbers, and correspond to file descriptors of running processes. Thus, /dev/fd/10 is a file that is equivalent to that currently open on file descriptor 10. What the Solaris 2.x exec*() system call now does is start /bin/sh, passing it the name of its input file on the command line, followed by the command arguments. The result of this is that the shell is invoked as /bin/sh /dev/fd/nnn arg1 arg2 .... This is transparent to ordinary shell scripts, because /dev/fd/nnn exists, and is equivalent to a link to the the shell script file itself, and /bin/sh is able to open it. However, in the context of a process that issues a chroot system call, as ftpd does to isolate its file system for security reasons, there is then no /dev/fd directory, nor can one make such a directory under ~ftp/dev/fd, because the /dev/fd is magically mounted for each process, and only one such mount can be in effect at one time. The fix that restored `quote site index' to working order was to change the ~ftp/bin/ftp-exec/index script from the normal UNIX one: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -eq 1 ] then egrep -i $1 /INDEX | head -20 # 20 results in *** TRUNCATED *** message else echo "Usage: QUOTE SITE INDEX egrep-pattern" echo "Regular-expression pattern matching is done on a list of" echo "files in the /pub anonymous ftp tree." fi to this version which gets an explicit input file name (its own in the chroot'ed ftp file system) as its first argument: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/ftp-exec/index shift if [ $# -eq 1 ] then egrep -i $1 /INDEX | head -20 # 20 results in *** TRUNCATED *** message else echo "Usage: QUOTE SITE INDEX egrep-pattern" echo "Regular-expression pattern matching is done on a list of" echo "files in the /pub anonymous ftp tree." fi On entry to the shell script, the arguments will then be /dev/fd/10 string-to-find and the shift command discards the unwanted /dev/fd/10, leaving string-to-find as the argument to be passed to egrep for the search. This change in behavior between SunOS 4.x and Solaris 2.x may be a bug, or a feature, but in either case, I believe that Sun Microsystems needs to either fix it, or document it in the man pages for exec(2). ======================================================================== Nelson H.

The fix that restored `quote site index' to working order was to change the ~ftp/bin/ftp-exec/index script from the normal UNIX one: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -eq 1 ] then egrep -i $1 /INDEX | head -20 # 20 results in *** TRUNCATED *** message else echo "Usage: QUOTE SITE INDEX egrep-pattern" echo "Regular-expression pattern matching is done on a list of" echo "files in the /pub anonymous ftp tree." fi to this version which gets an explicit input file name (its own in the chroot'ed ftp file system) as its first argument: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/ftp-exec/index shift if [ $# -eq 1 ] then egrep -i $1 /INDEX | head -20 # 20 results in *** TRUNCATED *** message else echo "Usage: QUOTE SITE INDEX egrep-pattern" echo "Regular-expression pattern matching is done on a list of" echo "files in the /pub anonymous ftp tree." fi On entry to the shell script, the arguments will then be /dev/fd/10 string-to-find and the shift command discards the unwanted /dev/fd/10, leaving string-to-find as the argument to be passed to egrep for the search. This change in behavior between SunOS 4.x and Solaris 2.x may be a bug, or a feature, but in either case, I believe that Sun Microsystems needs to either fix it, or document it in the man pages for exec(2). ======================================================================== Nelson H.

The old machine runs SunOS 4.1.3, and the new ones, Solaris 2.3 (== SunOS 5.3). We spent many hours tracking down and fixing two problems that showed up. (1) On the new system, the protection of ~ftp/etc was accidentally set incorrectly. The effect of this was that a bare `ls' command in an ftp client would list files (it is handled by special code inside ftpd itself), but a `dir' or `ls -switches' command would fail (that requires invocation of /bin/ls). At least if it happens in the future, we'll know where to look; other sites can learn the lesson >From our experience. (2) The `quote site index' command failed to work, returning as its output a string like "cannot open /dev/fd/10", instead of the expected list of matching file names. This one took much longer to track down, and required attaching the dbx debugger to the ftpd process after it had started. It turns out that in Solaris 2.x, when a file executed by the exec*() family of systems calls is found to begin with #!/bin/sh the kernel knows that the indicated program, /bin/sh, must be started with the script file itself as the input to the program. Presumably, in SunOS 4.x, this was done by simply opening the file, and then duplicating the file descriptor of the file's handle to 0, that of standard input. In Solaris 2.x, there is a new file system called /dev/fd, (fd == file descriptor); its files are named by numbers, and correspond to file descriptors of running processes. Thus, /dev/fd/10 is a file that is equivalent to that currently open on file descriptor 10. What the Solaris 2.x exec*() system call now does is start /bin/sh, passing it the name of its input file on the command line, followed by the command arguments. The result of this is that the shell is invoked as /bin/sh /dev/fd/nnn arg1 arg2 .... This is transparent to ordinary shell scripts, because /dev/fd/nnn exists, and is equivalent to a link to the the shell script file itself, and /bin/sh is able to open it. However, in the context of a process that issues a chroot system call, as ftpd does to isolate its file system for security reasons, there is then no /dev/fd directory, nor can one make such a directory under ~ftp/dev/fd, because the /dev/fd is magically mounted for each process, and only one such mount can be in effect at one time. The fix that restored `quote site index' to working order was to change the ~ftp/bin/ftp-exec/index script from the normal UNIX one: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -eq 1 ] then egrep -i $1 /INDEX | head -20 # 20 results in *** TRUNCATED *** message else echo "Usage: QUOTE SITE INDEX egrep-pattern" echo "Regular-expression pattern matching is done on a list of" echo "files in the /pub anonymous ftp tree." fi to this version which gets an explicit input file name (its own in the chroot'ed ftp file system) as its first argument: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/ftp-exec/index shift if [ $# -eq 1 ] then egrep -i $1 /INDEX | head -20 # 20 results in *** TRUNCATED *** message else echo "Usage: QUOTE SITE INDEX egrep-pattern" echo "Regular-expression pattern matching is done on a list of" echo "files in the /pub anonymous ftp tree." fi On entry to the shell script, the arguments will then be /dev/fd/10 string-to-find and the shift command discards the unwanted /dev/fd/10, leaving string-to-find as the argument to be passed to egrep for the search. This change in behavior between SunOS 4.x and Solaris 2.x may be a bug, or a feature, but in either case, I believe that Sun Microsystems needs to either fix it, or document it in the man pages for exec(2). ======================================================================== Nelson H.

Please use the nearest site, to reduce the load on our Sparc 1. I think the same patch that John Interrante and others created for web2c 6.1 will work for this release (but I didn't actually try it); you can get that as the file web2c.kpathsea-2.1.help from the above sites. Naturally, I am working on the next release of web2c. It will be ready no sooner than a month or two from now (and perhaps significantly longer); it's no use to ask me precisely when, as I simply do not know. As always, thanks to the many people who contributed. I tried to note names in the ChangeLog entries. Also as usual, I've tested these with gcc 2.5.8, using GNU make 3.71, on several architectures: Linux 1.0.4, SunOS 4, Solaris 2.3, HP-UX 9, Alpha OSF/1 1.3, RS/6000 AIX 3.2.4, Aviion DG/UX 5.4.2, SGI IRIX 4.0.5F, and MIPS Ultrix 4.3. I used stock MIT X11R5 on all the machines for xdvik. You can get GNU software from prep.ai.mit.edu and its mirrors, and you can get MIT X from ftp.x.org and *its* mirrors. Here's the NEWS: dvipsk 5.58b * config.$PRINTER is read even if -o or -f is specified, i.e., always. * Paths in dvips config.$PRINTER files are not ignored (this was accidental!). * Closing quote in \special{"..."} omitted from the output. * --help and --version options supported. kpathsea 2.2 * MakeTeXPK invoked for the any_glyph type; this is for xdvik. * MakeTeXPK sources $(psheaderdir)/MakeTeXPK.site if it exists. * pxlNNN/cmr10.pk searched for (as well as dpiNNN/cmr10.pk and cmr10.NNNpk) xdvik 18c * Include SELFILE support by default. * Support the `ps: ' special. * Support --help (and -help and +help). * Convert both 330 and 328 dpi to 329 (magstephalf). * Checksum warnings omitted if either the font or DVI checksum is zero. dviljk 2.2 * Use perror for nonexistent input files. kb@cs.umb.edu Help fight the new programming monopolies -- write lpf@uunet.uu.net.

Dear TeX archive maintainers, This is to announce yet another BUG FIX release of my DIAGRAM DRAWING PACKAGE, XY-pic: version 2.12. It fixes the following user visible bugs in version 2.11: * No conflict with `AMS-LaTeX' version 1.2 (SEE BELOW). * No conflict with Karl Berry's `eplain' (SEE BELOW). * Curves with explicit control are now right [Sjoerd Crans]. * Directional vectors no longer invalidate the Xy-state [Luc van Eycken]. * Tips on zero-sized turns no longer reversed [Jorge Almeida]. * Curves no longer overlap the surrounding text. * Numerous documentation fixes in the Reference Manual. * Short steep segments now placed correctly [thanks, Ross]. I am sorry to announce this very interim version which is necessary because of a change in an internal function of AMS-LaTeX [sic]. Thus ** PLEASE UPDATE TO VERSION 2.12 IF YOU USE AMS-LaTeX *** The release of the `real' version 3 (no longer in beta-test) is imminent so you need not update otherwise unless any of the other bugs have bothered you (or you desperately need one of the additions described below). There is ONE IMPORTANT CHANGE in the v3 extensions of this version: the \arrow command has been renamed to \ar in order to make diagrams more concise and avoid conflict with Karl Berry's `eplain', however, using the `v2' compatibility option will still define \arrow (as well as \stop and \merge that are also in conflict with existing names on some systems). - o - One extension and one feature have been added with this release: * \xyoption{cmtip} allows the use of arrow tips that resemble those of D. Knuth's Computer Modern and Computer Concrete fonts. * \xyoption{poly} supports drawing of regular polygons (by Ross Moore). Version 3 will also have a special input mode for `knots and links'. - o - Xy-pic can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from ftp.diku.dk : /diku/users/kris/TeX/ ftp.mpce.mq.edu.au : /pub/maths/TeX/ (see the README file as to the exact location below that), from CTAN : /tex-archive/macros/generic/diagrams/xypic and also through the World Wide Web (see below). - o - NEWS: there is now a World Wide Web HOME PAGE for Xy-pic in which includes pointers to the sources as well as some TUTORIAL PAPERS on Xy-pic: * K.Rose: Xy-pic and Notation for Categorical Diagrams. * R.Moore: Typesetting Neural Nets with Xy-pic. (for people without WWW access these are also available on the ftp servers in files xy/papers/ecct-94.ps and xy/papers/NeuralNets.ps). - o - In the hope that you will like the new things, Kristoffer Rose -- Kristoffer H{\o}gsbro ROSE DIKU, Universitetsparken 1, 2100 K{\o}benhavn {\O}, DANMARK Phones: +45 35321400 direct: +45 35321420 fax: +45 35321401 World Wide Web 26-Oct-1994 13:01:58-GMT,911;000000000011 Return-Path: Received: from ben.britain.eu.net by math.utah.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1-utah-csc-server) id AA23704; Wed, 26 Oct 94 07:01:45 MDT Message-Id: <9410261301.AA23704@math.utah.edu> Received: from snd01.pcr.co.uk by ben.britain.eu.net via PSS with NIFTP (PP) id ; Wed, 26 Oct 1994 13:01:12 +0000 Date: Wed, 26 OCT 94 13:00:46 GMT From: WILLIAMS_B@snd01.pcr.co.uk To: tex-archive-request Subject: how to unsubscribe?
