Please. kpathsea 3.0 * Distribution terms changed to the GNU Library General Public License. * Default directory structure matches the TDS standard. The most important change is in the fonts/ directory: the file type (tfm, pk) is now directly underneath fonts/. Also, mft/ is now at the top level. `modeless' is used for gsftopk/ps2pk/etc.-generated fonts. * Change in searching algorithm: if the name already has a suffix (foo.sty), search for it by itself first, before appending the default suffix (foo.sty.tex). This loses if you have an executable named foo.bar, with documentation in foo.bar.tex (foo.bar will be found first). But this is unusual, and the other case is common. * Environment variables PATH_program (e.g., TEXINPUTS_latex) checked for, as with configuration file values (TEXINPUTS.latex). * Multiple TEXMF trees supported, via the following new facility: * Shell brace expansion {foo,bar} implemented, thanks to Bash. * Multiple ls-R files supported via the TEXMFDBS path. * An ``alias'' database for files in ls-R supported, to handle 8.3 problems. * Directories in the ls-R file can be relative (./) as well as absolute (/). * New MakeTeX{PK,TFM,MF} scripts with more features, based on teTeX's. * DVIPSMAKEPK (etc.) actually overrides the name `MakeTeXPK', as documented. * MakeTeX* can be globally disabled via configure options. * Support for building as a shared library with configure --enable-shared. * Directories whose names begin with `.' are ignored. * Some warnings can be suppressed by TEX_HUSH cnf value or envvar. * kpsewhich has many new capabilities, documented via --help and in the manual. * texfonts.map parsing has an include directive, and @c is a comment. * Input lines in texmf.cnf can be continued with \. * TEXMFLOG can be set in texmf.cnf, as previously documented. * SELFAUTODIR and SELFAUTOPARENT are defined according to the location of the binary, and used to search for texmf.cnf. * /// (or more) is equivalent to //. * If $HOME = / (as with root on some systems), avoid creating // in paths. * Support for AFM, PostScript Type 1 font, source, documentation, Omega, and MetaPost-related file formats. * New header kpathsea.h with all #include files. * Under DOS, ls-R lines need not start with . or / or \ (e.g., c:). * Amiga support. web2c 7.0 * Update from Knuth for tex, mf, dvitype, pltotf, vptovf, and tangle, John Hobby's MetaPost (and support programs) included, update from P. Breitenlohner to dvicopy 1.5 and patgen 2.3. * Update for kpathsea 3.0. * Texinfo manual written. * Amiga, OS/2, Windows NT support in the sources. * TeX: - if -shell-escape or shell_escape in texmf.cnf is enabled, \write18{str} passes str to system(3) for processing by sh. - MLTeX extensions (\charsubdef, etc.) can be enabled at runtime. - Many array sizes can be set dynamically, in texmf.cnf. - MakeTeXTFM installed and enabled by default. - IPC communications to an external program for incremental DVI reading. - texfonts.map applies to TFM files, as originally intended. - More than 256 fonts are allowed. - DVI comment (with timestamp) can be overridden. - tex.web's consistency checks on .fmt files restored. * Metafont: - A few array sizes can be set dynamically, in texmf.cnf. - X11 support disabled by default; configure --with-x to enable it. - MakeTeXMF enabled and installed by default. * TeX, Metafont, MetaPost: - If the first line of the main input file starts with %&, the rest of the line is used as the fmt/base/mem file (if it can be found), except that %&ini means initex/inimf/inimpost. - One binary: initex/mf/mpost capabilities merged with virtex/mf/mpost. - New option -progname sets program name independently of argv[0]. - Eight-bit filenames are output correctly in ^^ notation, instead of always being simplified to ^^@. - MakeTeX* scripts can be named and disabled via texmf.cnf. - MakeTeX* scripts are silent if \batchmode is in effect. - TEXMFINI environment variable checked for pool/fmt/base/mem lookups. - \openout (TeX) and write (MP) by default will not write to files whose names start with `.'. - ``Small'' versions no longer supported without source hacking. - Length bug regarding single non-ASCII characters in MF and MP fixed. * BibTeX: - Some arrays dynamically reallocated as needed, other sizes increased. - Default behavior is verbose; new -terse option changes that. - Statistics are written to the .blg file. - Does not look at TEXINPUTS to find .bst files, but does check TEXBIB (after BIBINPUTS). - Does not interactively ask for the top-level .aux name. * All programs: - Supply default extensions and default output files. - Support the standard --help and --version options. - Filenames not arbitrarily restricted in length. - Output written in the current directory, not the directory of an input file. (Most interesting for tangle.) - Times-Roman etc. work as font names, via texfonts.map and subsidiaries. * dvitype prints decimal opcode numbers with --show-opcodes. * bibtex and gftodvi never interactively ask for filenames; dvitype and dvicopy do not enter interactive dialogues. * mft looks in MFTINPUTS, not TEXINPUTS. * Configuration: - Optional features are enabled via configure --with-* and --enable-* options. Run configure --help. - There is no small TeX, Metafont, or MetaPost. If you want it, you'll have to change the change files, #define SMALL* yourself, and do whatever else is necessary yourself. * Source hierarchy substantially simplified. * Web2c: - Support for ifndef...endifn, a la ifdef. - Support for const expressions. - Can generate ANSI code. dvipsk 5.66a * Update for kpathsea 3.0 and dvips 5.66. * No default config.ps is installed. * Partial downloading of Type 1 fonts supported via -j (j in config file). * Compressed headers and figures (names ending in .Z or .gz) are automatically uncompressed. * Fonts and macros now distributed separately on CTAN. * dvihps merged in, i.e., hyperdvi html: specials supported. * Manual restructured and new text regarding PostScript fonts added. * .dvipsrc is looked for along a path, and the DVIPSRC value overrides. * -Pfoo does not require config.foo; and if in fact config.foo doesn't exist, the default output is to | lpr -Pfoo. * -o - outputs to standard output. * -E does not require single-page input documents. * -d -1 does not include the size of every memory allocation; new information about dvips config file reading is included. * W messages from config.ps are omitted if -q is specified. * -E turns off -N and -K. * Improve checksums and ligkern table output in Afm2tfm. * Small improvements to epsf.tex. xdvik 20a * Update for kpathsea 3.0. * xhdvi merged in, i.e., hyperdvi html: specials supported via libwww. * gsftopkk included. * Adjustable rulers on magnifiers, and grids on the whole page. * Many function keys supported. * Online help via H/Help/etc. while the program is running. * Shrink button factors determined at runtime. * Exit with bad status via Abort button, Q keystroke. * Update for xdvi patchlevel 20 and gsftopk 1.12, implying the following: * X resource name for the Metafont mode now `mfMode'. * MakeTeXPK option/resource now `makepk'. * Compressed (.Z or .gz) header and figure files automatically uncompressed, and shell escape specials ("`...) turned off by default. * Decompression does not happen with -nopostscript, etc. * New options -safer, -interpreter, -nogssafer, -gspalette. dviljk 2.6 * Update for kpathsea 3.0. * Update for dvi2xx 0.51-13. * dvihp script handles options a la dvips, and is installed by default. * Raster characters and fonts can be downloaded compressed. * - option (operate as pipe) works again. * More useful debugging output. * Bug in page-skipping fixed. * But in printing character 0 fixed. * Fonts rearranged per TDS, and `q' changed to `8t'. Long-winded instructions: `unixtex.ftp': Obtaining TeX ============================ This is `ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/unixtex.ftp', last updated 7 February 1997. Also available as `http://www.tug.org/unixtex.ftp'. The IP address is currently [158.121.106.10], and the canonical host name is currently `tug.cs.umb.edu'. It is also in Kpathsea source distributions as `etc/unixtex.ftp' (although the network version is usually newer). Mail with comments or questions. Following are general instructions for Unix or other sites who wish to acquire the Web2c distribution, (plain) TeX, LaTeX (2e), BibTeX, Metafont, MetaPost, DVI processors for the X window system, PostScript, the PCL language in the HP LaserJet, and related programs. They are oriented towards building from the original sources, though some information on alternative packages is included in the last section. See also `http://www.tug.org/web2c', the Web2c and Kpathsea home page. Please consider joining the TeX Users Group (TUG) to help support the maintenance and development of the programs you retrieve. Email or see `http://www.tug.org' for information and a membership form. For actual installation instructions after obtaining the necessary sources, *note Installation::.. A copy is in the distribution file `kpathsea/INSTALL'. Electronic distribution ----------------------- In many places we refer to CTAN:. This is *both* a host name and a directory name. Here are some primary locations: `ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/tex/ctan' (California, USA) `ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive' (Germany) `ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive' (England) CTAN has many mirrors worldwide; see the top-level file `README.mirrors' from one of the sites above, or finger , or see `http://www.tug.org/CTAN.sites'. A list current as of the time of distribution is in the top-level file `./MIRROR'. You can also access CTAN via the World Wide Web, Gopher, electronic mail, or NFS. The same `README.mirrors' file explains how. You will need to retrieve some or all of the following archives, depending on your needs (don't forget to set binary mode for file transfers): `CTAN:/systems/web2c/texmflib.tar.gz' A basic collection of fonts (TFM files only) and macro packages (including Texinfo and LaTeX 2e). It unpacks into `texmf/'; if you change the structure of this hierarchy, you will also have to change the default search paths (*note Changing search paths::.). It is required unless you already have these files, in which case you should change the default paths as necessary to find them. `CTAN:/systems/web2c/web.tar.gz' The original WEB source files, written mostly by Don Knuth. Required unless you already have this `web' version. (The WEB sources change irregularly with respect to Web2c itself.) Unpacks into `web2c-VERSION'. `CTAN:/systems/web2c/web2c.tar.gz' The Web2c system. Required. Also unpacks into `web2c-VERSION'. `CTAN:/dviware/dvipsk.tar.gz' DVI-to-PostScript translator. Unpacks into `dvipsk-VERSION'. Optional. `CTAN:/dviware/xdvik.tar.gz' X window system DVI previewer. Unpacks into `xdvik-VERSION'. Optional. `CTAN:/dviware/dviljk.tar.gz' DVI-to-PCL (HP LaserJet) translator. Unpacks into `dviljk-VERSION'. Optional. All that said, the originating host for the software above is `ftp.tug.org'. You can retrieve these distributions (but not much else) from the `tex/' directory on that host. CD-ROM distribution ------------------- Numerous organizations distribute various TeX CD-ROM's: * TUG, UK TUG, and GUTenberg (French-speaking TeX user group) collaborated to produce the `TeX Live' CD-ROM, based on teTeX, which in turn is based on Web2c; email or see `http://www.tug.org/tex-live.html'. * NTG (Dutch-speaking TeX user group) produced the 4allTeX CD-ROM; email , or see `http://ei0.ei.ele.tue.nl/ntg/'. This is a runnable system. * The Free Software Foundation's `Source Code CD-ROM' contains the minimal TeX source distribution described in the previous section (i.e., enough to print GNU documentation); email or finger . * The Gateway! CD-ROM set contains a runnable NetBSD/Amiga distribution and sources; see `http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/cdroms.html'. * The Prime Time TeXcetera CD-ROM is a copy of CTAN (see the previous section); email or see `http://www.ptf.com/ptf/'. * Walnut Creek's TeX CD-ROM is also a copy of CTAN; email or see `http://www.cdrom.com:/titles/tex.html'. * Most Linux distributions include some TeX package based on Web2c; see the Linux documentation file `Distribution-HOWTO' for a comparison of Linux distributions, available (for example) via `http://www.linux.org'. If you know of additional TeX CD-ROM distributions to add to this list, please inform . Tape distribution ----------------- You can obtain a complete TeX distribution, including Web2c, on tape. Contact: Pierre MacKay / Denny Hall, Mail Stop DH-10 / Department of Classics University of Washington / Seattle, WA 98195 / USA phone: 206-543-2268; email: At this writing, the distribution is available in `tar' format on 1/4 inch 4-track QIC-24 cartridges and 4mm DAT cartridges, and the cost is US$210. Make checks payable to the University of Washington, drawn on a U.S. bank. Purchase orders are acceptable, but they carry an extra charge of $10 to pay for invoice processing. Overseas sites, please add $20 for shipment via air parcel post, or $30 for shipment via courier. Other TeX packages ------------------ Many other TeX implementations are available in `CTAN:/systems', including ready-to-run distributions for Unix, Amiga, Acorn, VMS, Macintosh, DOS, and Windows (in various forms). Although Web2c has support in the source code for many operating systems, and in fact some of the other distributions are based on it, it's unlikely to work as distributed on anything but Unix. (Please contribute improvements!) The Unix distribution alluded to above is the teTeX distribution. This includes both complete sources and precompiled binaries for many popular Unix variants, including Linux. It is based on Web2c, and contains many other TeX-related programs as well. The host labrea.stanford.edu is the original source for the files for which Donald Knuth is directly responsible: `tex.web', `plain.tex', etc. However, unless you want to build your TeX library tree ab initio, it is more reliable and less work to retrieve these files as part of the above packages. In any case, labrea is not the canonical source for anything except what was created by Stanford TeX project, so do not rely on all the files available at that ftp site being up-to-date. CTAN mirrors: prompt$ finger ctan@ftp.tug.org [tug.cs.umb.edu] ...

It fixes two and only two things: 1. A serious bug in the t1 partial downloading *should* be fixed now. Please check it out, if you have had difficulties, and let me know if it doesn't work. 2. Debugging is now forced on in dvips.h; people who know how and really want to can disable it, but too many versions of dvips without debugging have gone out and it makes it very difficult to help the user track down problems. When I get back I'll fold in a lot of the remaining patches and fixes, but these two are probably the important ones. Thank you everyone for your patience! I'm in Vienna from now until April the 8th and I won't be in electronic contact until then. -tom From owner-tex-archive Sat Mar 29 10:35:10 1997 Flags: 000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from kim.teleport.com (kim.teleport.com [192.108.254.26]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id KAA11805 for ; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 10:35:10 -0700 (MST) Received: from 205.138.244.68 ([205.138.244.68]) by kim.teleport.com (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA14722; Sat, 29 Mar 1997 09:25:20 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <333D5026.6F16@teleport.com> Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 09:24:00 -0800 From: Arthur Ogawa Reply-To: Ogawa@teleport.com Organization: TeX Consultants X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Macintosh; I; PPC) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Barbara Beeton , CsTUG , CyrTUG , DANTE , EFT , Estonian User Group , GUST , GUTenberg , GUTH , ITALIC , JTUG , Lithuanian TeX Group , Nordic TeX Group , NTG , TeX Archivists , TeXCeH , TeXhax , UKTUG Subject: TUG97, the 18th TeX Users Group meeting Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------7E46567D23" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------7E46567D23 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Esteemed Collegue, The attached is being sent to you as the president of a Local Users Group or maintainer of an email list (in BNB's case to TeX-implementors).

If anyone reading this notice here is a member, but did not already receive a copy by email, please let us know by sending a message to tug@mail.tug.org including your correct, preferred email address. We intend to use email more frequently in the future to communicate with TUG members, and need your help to keep the records up to date. -------------------- Notice regarding 1997 TeX Users Group election The 1997 election for the TeX Users Group Board of Directors has now ended. Since there were fewer nominated candidates than vacant positions, in accordance with the Election Procedures, the candidates who did submit nomination papers are declared elected. No ballots will be circulated. The open positions, as announced, were President and six members of the Board of Directors. The following individuals will be taking positions on the Board of Directors for 4-year terms ending in 2001: Donna Burnette Mimi Jett Patricia Monohon Arthur Ogawa Petr Sojka In the absence of a ballot, the statements of candidacy which would have appeared there will be published instead in TUGboat 18#1. Four Board members whose terms were due to end in 1998 had agreed that they would be willing for their terms to be extended to 1999 to accommodate a change in the election schedule from annually to every two years (see the election announcement, TUGboat 17#3, p.240). Had there been a ballot, their names would have been listed there for confirmation by the membership. However, in the absence of a ballot, it is proposed that, in accordance with the Bylaws (Article VII, Section 10), the incoming President confirm the extension of their terms. These Board members are: Barbara Beeton Karl Berry Judy Johnson Jiri Zlatuska There is no candidate for TUG President. This poses a problem. Although the Bylaws and Election Procedures provide for the filling of vacant Board positions by appointment, no provision exists for the absence of a candidate for President. There is not sufficient time left before the annual meeting in July to solicit additional candidates and circulate ballots. In order to ensure that the necessary decisions are arrived at in a democratic manner, and that the incoming Board has some say in the matters which will affect them most directly, Michel Goossens, the outgoing President, has appointed the new members to the Board for a temporary period effective immediately, to expire when their regular term begins. It is proposed that individuals wishing to present themselves as candidates for President do so in the following manner, with the election be held during the annual TUG business meeting which will take place during the TUG annual meeting in San Francisco (July 28 - August 1). Any TUG member in good standing who will be present at the annual business meeting may submit a valid nomination form and supporting statement (see the announcement in TUGboat 17#3 or the TUG Web pages, http://www.tug.org) no later than Monday, July 28 (the first day of the meeting), and be prepared to present his/her program at the business meeting, (currently scheduled for Thursday, July 31). (All TUG members are reminded that except for certain transactions such as personnel matters, which legally are privileged, Board meetings are open to members as observers.) The Board meeting is scheduled to be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27, at the main meeting site; room details will be posted when available. Candidates for President are encouraged to attend. Nomination forms and supporting documentation should be submitted to the Elections Committee by one of two methods: (1) by July 15, sent to the address below rather than to the address given in the TUGboat announcement, or (2) July 26-28, brought to the meeting and delivered in person to one of the undersigned committee members. If sending forms by mail or fax, please confirm this to the Committee at the email address below; electronic copies of candidates' statements may also be sent to this address any time before the meeting. In order for this business to be transacted legally, at least 50 TUG members must be present to form a quorum (Bylaws, Article III, Section 6). It is therefore very important for members to attend this meeting, in order to help define the future of our organization.

The ported programs should run on any platform compatible with DJGPP (check out the DJGPP FAQ for details). In particular, they will run on MS-DOS and its clones, and also on Windows 3.X and Windows 9X (and support long filenames on the latter). The port includes all the programs in the Texk distribution maintained by Karl Berry, plus DVI drivers for DeskJet printers and a simple VGA previewer. (No PDFTeX yet, sorry; volunteers are welcome to add it.) TeX is a *very* large package, so it was decided to create a special directory for it in the DJGPP archives: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/tex/ Begin by downloading and reading the file TeX.README in that directory; it should tell you enough to decide what parts of the package you need to download. This file also includes detailed installation instructions, so please read it before unzipping the downloaded files. (A copy of that README file comes with all the other zip files and is unzipped into `gnu/texk-7.0/djgpp' directory under the name `README'.) Porting TeX and DVI drivers was a major undertaking, much more than other ports, even though I had done quite a few of them lately. It took 2.5 months; the last 3 weeks went into testing. (By contrast, the average porting job is usually done in 10 days; the largest package until now--Groff--took 3 weeks to port.) The core of the ported programs work for me reliably for the last 2 weeks; I've generated, viewed and printed DVI files for several large TeX and Texinfo documents. However, no matter how much time would I spend testing, the package is so large that it's impossible to expect a single person find all of the bugs which are specific to DOS-like platforms. In particular, the long filename support on Windows 95 is virtually untested (I don't have access to development system with Windows 95). Please treat this port accordingly and report any problems on the DJGPP news group comp.os.msdos.djgpp first. (If you can't access Usenet news, send email to .) Please post follow-ups to this announcement and any discussions related to it to comp.os.msdos.djgpp. Last, but not least, I would like to thank Karl Berry Fabrice POPINEAU and Ulrik Vieth whose kind help and patient replies to my many questions were invaluable to me during my work on this port.

This was a great surprise to me, since I use it heavily, and it is defined in the 21-Aug-1996 draft of HTML 3.2 that I'd been using as the 3.2 DTD for html-check and html-ncheck. Further investigation turned up the section ``What happened to "?'' in http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MarkUp/Wilbur/ which reads: >> ... >> What happened to "? >> >> Several people have commented on the absence of the " entity in the >> HTML 3.2 Recommendation.

If you want to test or use the new version, please get the files teTeX-texmf-0.9.tar.gz (containing the texmf tree), teTeX-src-0.9.tar.gz (containing the actual program sources) and INSTALL.src (containing come *very* useful instructions). For the final release, I will provide binaries and try to fix all bugs that show up until then. So, if you are not very familiar with compiling / porting / debugging software, better just wait for the final teTeX-0.9 release. The best NEWS: - hyperlink-aware versions of xdvi / dvips - etex (version 1.1) and pdftex (version 0.11) - bluesky cm type1 fonts (just ``dvips -Pcmz ...'' or ``dvips -Pcm ...'' if the cm fonts are known to your Postscript interpreter) - some array sizes grow automatically, some are run-time configurable in texmf.cnf - each texmf tree can have its own ls-R file - updated packages (incomplete): LaTeX2e <1997/06/01>, Catalogue, amslatex, de-tex-faq, fancyhdr, floatflt, fontname, german, graphics, koma-script, mfnfss, modes.mf, natbib, psnfss, pstricks, seminar, tools, ulem, xypic - some new packages (incomplete): ccfonts, hyperref, booktabs, colortbl, comma, exam, overpic, sidecap - texinfo-3.11 The system is based on texk-7.0.tar.gz, but some fixes (and one extension) are applied. There is a mailing list for discussion and bug-report about this pretest version (tetex-pretest@informatik.uni-hannover.de). Just subscribe the normal way (it is a majordomo list) or send me a note and I'll add you to the list. If you want to contribute binaries for some platform, please drop me a note and I'll give you some more information about that. The pretest version can be found at: ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-hannover.de/home/te/private/.0.9 Note that the private directory is unreadable, but you can go into the .0.9 directory.

Thanks to Norm Walsh, a search engine for CTAN holdings is available at: http://tug2.cs.umb.edu/ctan/ tug2 is a full CTAN site and therefore holds the same data as the other backbone CTAN nodes: ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive, run by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory; and ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive, run by DANTE e.V. It replaces the old host ftp.shsu.edu (which has not been operational for some time). It does not, however, currently support submissions. Please continue to use the incoming directories at ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.dante.de for that. Users should, as always, use the CTAN site closest to them; there are mirrors throughout the world. A list is appended to this message; you can get a current list via finger ctan@www.tug.org or the file CTAN.sites at any CTAN host. North American mirror sites should consider using this new host instead of the European hosts. Doing so should improve performance for everyone. There is no special account for mirroring at present, so it should be done via normal anonymous ftp. We hope to make the system available via the name ctan.tug.org eventually; unfortunately, we cannot do so right now. The name tug2.cs.umb.edu will be maintained indefinitely. For more information about TUG, please see http://www.tug.org. We encourage all TeX users to support CTAN by joining, as appropriate, UKTUG, Dante, TUG, or their local user group.

It does not contain any of the dvi drivers (dviljk, dvipsk, xdvik) or other support programs (makeindexk, ps2pkk): these will become available later. The release can be obtained by retrieving ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c/web2c.tar.gz ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c/web.tar.gz (the latter is only needed if you do not have the web files, otherwise you can just link/copy those in the web2c-7.1/web2c directory). You will also need a a library tree to compile and use these programs. The file ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/web2c/texmflib.tar.gz provides a bare-bones tree. These files are also available as ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/web2c.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/web.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/texmflib.tar.gz Soon these files will also be available on CTAN sites and their mirrors.

An up-to-date list is also appended to this message. Please note that the all-in-one-file texk.tar.gz release has _not_ been updated, and will not be in the immediate future. Sorry. This release fixes virtually all known bugs in web2c-7.0 and kpathsea-3.0, and adds a few new features, especially to kpathsea. Many thanks to all the people who reported bugs, made suggestions, and provided patches. Instructions for sending bug reports (and joining the mailing list) are in the distribution file kpathsea/BUGS. A summary of the changes follows; read them carefully. Please read the manuals as well. kpathsea changes: 3.1 (10 november 1997) * The support for multiple texmf trees is much improved. * New MakeTeX* scripts, based on teTeX's. These scripts now use heuristics to decide where generated files are placed and which permissions they should have. * The varfonts feature is enabled by default. * Some MSDOS/Win32 support added to the sources. * Change in searching algorithm: if a name doesn't have the default suffix we append it for the first search. Then we search for the bare name. Thus if you have foo.bar and foo.bar.tex, the latter will now be found first. Under the old system, you had to specify boo.bar.tex.tex to get foo.bar.tex instead of foo.bar. * Prepend the value of KPSE_DOT to relative paths from texmf.cnf if it defined in the environment. This means we can use . instead of $KPSE_DOT in paths. * Define brace expansion so that {a,b}{1,2} expands to a1:b1:a2:b2. This is different from how shells do it, and exploited in texmf.in. * Renamed texmf.cnf.in to texmf.in. * New value for debugging: DEBUG_VARS, equal to 64. * If a file format has no suffix, allow its long name as the argument to kpsewhich --format. web2c changes: 7.1 (10 november 1997) * Some MSDOS/Win32 support added to the sources. * VPtoVF: Increased capacity. * TeX, METAFONT, MetaPost: - File foo.bar.tex results in \jobname foo.bar, hence foo.bar.{log,dvi,...}. This as opposed to foo and foo.{log,dvi,...} which it how it used to be in version 6. In 7.0 situation was confusing, as the heuristics used would sometimes result in the extension being stripped, sometimes not. * TeX: - The -extend-jobname option has been removed. - Printing of non-ASCII characters in diagnostics, code by Bernd Raichle. * web2c: - Some support for e-TeX added to convert. $ finger ctan@ftp.dante.de [sun.dante.de] Login name: ctan Directory: /home/server/ctan Shell: /bin/sync Never logged in.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi! I have just started to go throught 'The METAFONT book' and need to add a few files to my AsTeX version of LaTeX. I have got [mf,bmf,mf386].exe files but it seems to me that I have missing some other files needed for BOOK's exercises but maybe not for compiling LaTeX files, e.g. gftodvi.exe and gray.mf. My first problem was that the gftodvi.exe I've got does not do the job on my mfput.260, Bad TFM file or pixels! I appreciate any help. Best wishes, m.m.
