What platform? On Mac the best is Textures from Blue Sky Research. There is also Oz TeX from Andrew Trevorrow. And maybe a couple of others. On IBM PC/Windows the best is the Y&Y TeX system. There is also PC-TeX for Windows and Kinch's TrueTeX. And several public domain versions including emTeX. * Do any of these programs not support either the "psfile=" or "header=" specials? All drivers use their own syntax for garphics inclusion etc. The exception is Y&Y TeX which instead supports 12 of the most popular syntax used by other drivers. This includes psfile= and header= (and lots of others). * Is the LaTeX2e "graphics" package going to become the standard graphics interface? Will other packages support its syntax for compatibility? Customization files for the LaTeX 2e graphics package are now available for many drivers. But many people do not use LaTeX (its too restrictive and too hard to use non-CM fonts). * According to the manual page, xdvi does not "as yet" support "header=" specials. Will it? If so, how soon? Oh, You are Unix specific? * What (if any) are the significant differences between xdvi and xdvik? dvips and dvipsk? Oh, You are Unix specific?

For the time being, therefore, the CTAN management request that you notify ctan@shsu.edu of any uploads. If you have made an upload in the recent past and it hasn't appeared on the archives, please re-send notification of your upload to ctan@shsu.edu I have changed the README.uploads file on ftp.tex.ac.uk to reflect this change, and have agreed with Rainer Shoepf that he will do the same for ftp.dante.de and ftp.shsu.edu.

Poppelier" Subject: Announcement of the 1995 Donald E. Knuth Scholarship competition =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Announcement of the 1995 Donald E. Knuth Scholarship competition TUG, the TeX Users Group, makes available one Knuth Scholarship for award in 1995. The competition will be open to all TeX users holding support positions that are secretarial, clerical or editorial in nature. It is therefore not intended for those with a substantial training in technical, scientific or mathematical subjects and, in particular, it is not open to anyone holding, or studying for, a degree with a major or concentration in these areas. The award will consist of an expense-paid trip to the 1995 TUG Annual Meeting at St. Petersburg, Florida, and to the Scholar's choice from the short courses offered in conjunction with that meeting; and TUG membership for 1995, if the Scholar is not a TUG member, or for 1996, if the Scholar is already a TUG member. A cap of $2000 has been set for the award; however, this does not include the meeting or course registration fee, which will be waived. To enter the competition, applicants should submit to the Scholarship Committee, by the deadline specified below, the input file and final TeX output of a project that displays originality, knowledge of TeX, and good TeXnique. The full announcement will be printed in TUGboat 15 #3; it will also be posted to CTAN, in tex-archive/usergrps/tug/scholar.*. A brochure with additional information is available from the TUG office. To obtain a copy, or to request instructions on e-mail submission, write to the address at the end of this announcement, or send a message by e-mail to tug@tug.org with the subject ``Knuth Scholarship request''.

This results in the loss of access to the 'Next' button and those that normally occur below it in a fully sized window. The display area is also truncated, but access to the 'missing' part is available using the slider bars in the usual way. The effect is the same as resizing the xdvi window when running with a larger (17") monitor using either the mouse or the -geometry option at startup to resize the window. Is this something we have to live with (by using the keyboard alternatives to the missing buttons); do later versions deal with the problem or am I missing some obvious solution to it?

Robin Fairbairns - ------- Forwarded Message Date: Mon, 16 Jan 1995 10:51:54 GMT From: John Rutter Subject: Latex2e To: uktug-enquiries@tex.ac.uk Dear TUG, I am composing a document in Latex 2e, but have difficulty in finding a system which has installed amscd. The file may not have been included in the Latex distribution: it has not for example been included with a recently supplied copy of Latex 2e for Textures nor has it been installed on our unix machine. I have obtained it by ftp >From Stanford, but am not sure, in view of its non-supply whether the version there is compatible with the current version of Latex 2e. Can you please advise me? Similar remarks apply to the package \changebar. Another problem I have had with running Latex 2e is the apparent non-availability on our systems of the font which corresponds to commands such as \rightsquigarrow. Has this font not been include in the amssymb package? Many thanks in advance. John Rutter. - ------- End of Forwarded Message An answer: amscd is part of AMSLaTeX, and as such is available with AMSLaTeX. The source is available in the canonical place for all TeX-related matter, your neighbourhood CTAN (ftp.tex.ac.uk); it appears in more than one location in the archive, but the master is tex-archive/ fonts/ams/amslatex; you are expected to pull the whole directory, and to install it by means of the various .ins files -- see READ.ME for details. As a general rule you should not try Stanford for anything nowadays. While stuff is often available from there, it's not maintained with the same assiduity that is applied to the CTAN machines.

Please use the nearest site, to reduce the load on our old Sparc 1. I will not be reading email until next Tuesday (January 17), so I've left the previous versions in place, just in case there are big problems with this release, despite the efforts of the pretesters. This version primarily fixes problems with the last release. The most notable other change is that I've replaced the kpsexpand program with something more general program, kpsewhich. John Interrante will update the patch for web2c 6.1 soon. (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.)

Online help is available for all the buttons and windows by simple mouse click. xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems. It requires Tcl (version 7.3), the appropriate Tk (including patch P1) and TclX. The configuration has to be done by the local TeX-Administrator by adapting configuration files ("open lists"). xtem is available by anonymous ftp from the CTAN-servers (in directory /pub/tex/support/xtem_texmenu) It is also available directly from ftp.lrw.uni-bremen.de /pub/tex/xtem_version3.12 (English and German descriptions, README's and the program itself) Here you can also obtain Tcl (7.3), Tk (3.6+p1), TclX (in /pub/tcl) Happy and comfortable TeXing, the authors: G.

This is a package of plain TeX macros designed for the production of scholarly editions, and it produces marginal line numbers in a very nifty way. You can get a copy of EDMAC at a CTAN site near you, such as at pip.shsu.edu if you are writing from the U.S. I'm not sure off the top of my head what subdirectory it is in, but it isn't hard to find. If you are producing line numbers for verse rather than prose, and you are using LaTeX rather than plain TeX, one way of doing it (the way I do it) is to define a /verseline macro, which increments a counter and prints a line number (using marginpar) every n lines. But that won't work from prose, obviously. EDMAC is probably the way to go!

I appreciate your help. I can't really help you, Alan. The archive (when it used to be at Aston) had binaries for all sorts of systems; amongst those for VAX/VMS were .OBJ files for nearly everything, including DVItoLN03. These binaries were VVencoded, so that they could be mailed anywhere, as well as being FTPable. Some binaries existed as separate files, but most were in bundles, as BACKUP save_sets. It seems that these files were lost when the archive was moved to a Unix machine at Cambridge (at least, I can't find them there now). I _have_ found some binaries, which _don't_ include DVItoLN03, but those that are there are of VERY LITTLE UTILITY: note for archivists --- it's pointless keeping .EXE images, because they may not be linked with the same version of the shareable libraries as on the target machine. OTOH, .OBJ files, either VVencoded (under VMS) or zipped (also under VMS) _are_ acceptable, and remarkably portable. (I saw that there is at least one zip file of .OBJs, but I'd guess that it doesn't include what Alan wants.) I'm copying this reply to TeXhax; hopefully someone who is more conversant with the present-day layout of the archive than I am can assist Alan. It may be that I'm mistaken, and that the files wanted _are_ still in the archive: if so, I can only say that the layout nowadays is non-intuitive. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Brian {Hamilton Kelly} TeX@rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk + + Smail: School of Electrical Engineering & Science, Royal Military + + College of Science, Shrivenham, SWINDON SN6 8LA, U.K. + + Phone: Swindon (01793) 785252 (UK), +44-1793-785252 (International) + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Jan 1995 10:33:21 -0500 From: ogam@ALPHALMA.CNRS-MRS.FR Subject: DOS color dvi previewer I am looking for a DOS/Windows dvi previewer that supports the color packages and the virtual fonts.

The optimisation of placing the italic correction \/ outside the conditional is hardly worth bothering with, and likely to cause errors later. If you look up \undefined in the TeXbook you will be pointed to page 384. It is almost a pukka control sequence of plain. And like any other such control sequence, if you change its meaning you will cause things to mess up. What I find most interesting about this question is the doubt the author expresses about his own answer. It is not ugly. It is just as it should be. (There is one wrinkle. Perhaps he would prefer to have \und@fin@d?) By the way, the LaTeX \@ifundefined construction is a waste of time, by which I mean that \expandafter \ifx \csname #1\endcsname \relax etc \else etc \fi will execute much quicker than \@ifundefined{#1} etc and this is because the former code takes TeX straight to what needs to be done. best regards Jonathan Fine Mailing Address: 203 Coldhams Lane, Cambridge, England ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Feb 1995 06:26:39 -0500 From: "K.

It isn't on the UK CTAN which appears to have directories DISK01 to DISK30 dated March 94. I noticed the update has directories with new names, so it wasn't clear whether the TUE directories are a complete installation or a set of replacements of additions to the 1-30 directories. I guess the TUE set is complete. I haven't managed to fetch the set of directories from TUE yet. If fetching from CTAN you can get a whole package by a single command get XXXX.zip or XXXX.tar and the archive combines all the files and subdirectories as a single transfer. From TUE I can do mget * but this fetches only one directory and copies into the current directory. So to get the package I have to manually create the directory structure here and climb round the directories here and at TUE, then mget within each directory. Surely I am missing some simple trick?

Right in the middle of the vast woods of the province of Gelderland. About eight kilometers west of Arnhem. Tucked away under the lee of the green Veluwe-fringe. The conference starts on September 4th in the afternoon and runs until September 7th noon. Thursday afternoon and Friday September 8th are reserved for courses and/or tutorials. The theme of the conference is: The TeX Toolbox Wherever we talk about `TeX' we mean TeX and a format, such as plain, LaTeX, AMSTeX, etc. We would like to have talks that deal with topics such as: * the integration of TeX in the working environment, or using TeX in full (bidirectional) co-operation with all kinds of other applications; * conversion to and from TeX; * dissemination of typeset material (PostScript, Acrobat); * importing text and/or data from other applications (spreadsheets, databases) into TeX documents; * how to add value to documents by using TeX, so that they can not only be easily typeset, but can also be turned into `active' hyperdocuments, by translating them into SGML/HTML or Acrobat, or be used as data for database searches; * multi-discipline, multi-language aspects of TeX; * `novel' uses of TeX such as bi/multi-lingual translations/dictionaries, legal texts, poetry,... We would also like to offer courses and/or tutorials on any of the following topics: * introduction to using LaTeX; * LaTeX for package and class file writers; * Making PostScript (Truetype) fonts available for use in TeX documents; * database publishing with (La)TeX; * (La)TeX and hypertexts, HTML, SGML, hyperTeX. If you feel qualified to teach one of these subjects or think other topics should be covered, please send us your proposal. Please notice the following (preliminary) deadlines: April 10th : date when abstracts should be received April 20th : date to tell authors their abstract has been accepted/rejected May 15th : date to receive full papers (using LaTeX or EuroTeX style) June 15th : date the reviews should be finished June 25th : date to receive the final paper Your abstracts and proposals can be sent to eurotex-papers@cs.ruu.nl If you have no access to e-mail you can send your contribution to: EuroTeX'95 program committee Kooienswater 62 2715 AJ Zoetermeer The Netherlands In such a case we would ask you to submit your paper in electronic form on a (MS-DOS compatible) floppy disk. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For additional information you may e-mail to eurotex-info@cs.ruu.nl.

I changed their names to the Berry scheme in order to use Mr. Rahtz metric files in CTAN. I needed to do this since I needed T1 encoding as I write mostly in spanish nowdays. In a note about the lucbr package Mr. Rahtz points out that "support for the expert package has been added specially for the boldmath fonts". However, it seems that only support for boldmath was added as the smallcaps and oldnumerals are still derived from the caps and titling figures (and hence look lighter). Has any created the necesary virtual fonts and metric files to take care of this?

I installed the package as per instructions on my system. However, when I try to create the manual (using plain tex as per instructions) or to use the fonts, I get the error message: Bad font metric (tfm) file ..... Before I try to recreate the tfms from the source files has anyone any bright ideas what might be wrong. I am using emTeX (tex386), with the December 1994 version of latex2e as supplied by the UKTUG. Could respondents mail me direct as well as to the list as I get TexHax in digest format rather infrequently.

You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf and shortly from ftp.cdrom.com:pub/tex/modes.mf and the ctan sites in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-2.3.mf. finger ctan@ftp.shsu.edu for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors. You can also get it by email if you cannot ftp: email fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of `sendme modes'. News: * New modes for the Epson Stylus (epstylus) and the 800dpi Apple LaserWriter 810 (lwpro). * Updated the config.ps example for the SparcPrinter. As always, thanks to the contributors. General information: It's generally of no use to mail me about devices not in modes.mf; everything I know about is already included. It also includes lots of text about how to create a new mode_def, etc. 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. I can't decipher mf.web well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it. If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition, particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome. kb@cs.umb.edu mode_def agfafzz = % AGFA 400PS mode_def amiga = % Commodore Amiga mode_def aps = % Autologic APS-Micro5 mode_def apssixhi = % Autologic APS-Micro6 mode_def atariezf = % Atari ST SLM 804 printer mode_def atarinf = % Atari 95dpi previewer mode_def atarins = % Atari 96x96 previewer mode_def atariotf = % Atari ST SM 124 screen mode_def bitgraph = % BBN Bitgraph at 118dpi mode_def bjtenex = % Canon BubbleJet 10ex mode_def boise = % HP 2680A mode_def canonex = % CanonEX in LaserWriter Pro 630 mode_def canonlbp = % e.g., Symbolics LGP-10 mode_def cg = % Compugraphic 8600 mode_def cgl = % Compugraphic 8600 landscape mode_def cgnszz = % Compugraphic 9600 mode_def crs = % Alphatype CRS mode_def cx = % Canon CX, SX, LBP-LX mode_def datadisc = % DataDisc mode_def newdd = % DataDisc with special aspect ratio mode_def declarge = % DEC 19-inch, 1280 x 1024 mode_def decsmall = % DEC 17-inch, 1024 x 768 mode_def deskjet = % HP DeskJet 500 mode_def docutech = % Xerox 8790 or 4045 mode_def dover = % Xerox Dover mode_def epsdrft = % Epson at 120x72dpi mode_def epsdrftl = % Epson at 120x72dpi landscape mode_def epsfast = % Epson at 60x72dpi mode_def epsfastl = % Epson at 60x72dpi landscape mode_def epson = % 9-pin Epson MX/FX family mode_def epsonl = % 9-pin Epson MX/FX family landscape mode_def epsonact = % Epson Action Laser 1500 mode_def epsonlo = % Epson at 120x216dpi mode_def epsonlol = % Epson at 120x216dpi landscape mode_def epstylus = % Epson Stylus mode_def gtfax = % 204 x 196dpi G3fax mode_def gtfaxl = % 204 x 196dpi G3fax landscape mode_def gtfaxlo = % 204 x 98dpi G3fax mode_def gtfaxlol = % 204 x 98dpi G3fax landscape mode_def hprugged = % HP RuggedWriter 480 mode_def ibm_a = % IBM 38xx (\#1) mode_def ibmd = % IBM 38xx (\#2) mode_def ibmega = % IBM EGA monitor mode_def ibmegal = % IBM EGA monitor landscape mode_def ibmfzon = % IBM 4019 mode_def ibmfztn = % IBM 4029-30, 4250 mode_def ibmpp = % IBM ProPrinter mode_def ibmppl = % IBM ProPrinter landscape mode_def ibmsoff = % IBM 6154 display mode_def sherpa = % IBM 6670 (Sherpa) mode_def ibmteot = % IBM 3812 mode_def ibmtetz = % IBM 3820 mode_def ibmtont = % IBM 3193 screen mode_def ibmtosn = % IBM 3179 screen mode_def ibmtosnl = % IBM 3179 screen landscape mode_def ibmvga = % IBM VGA monitor mode_def ibx = % Chelgraph IBX mode_def itoh = % CItoh 8510A mode_def itohl = % CItoh 8510A landscape mode_def itohtoz = % CItoh 310 mode_def itohtozl = % CItoh 310 landscape mode_def iw = % Apple ImageWriter mode_def jetiiisi = % HP Laser Jet IIISi mode_def lasf = % DEC LA75 mode_def linolo = % Linotype Linotronic [13]00 at 635dpi mode_def linoone = % Linotype Linotronic [13]00 at 1270dpi mode_def linotzzh = % Linotype Linotronic 300 at 2540dpi mode_def ljfour = % 600dpi HP LaserJet 4 mode_def ljlo = % HP LaserJet at 150dpi mode_def lmaster = % 1000dpi LaserMaster mode_def lnzo = % DEC LN01 mode_def lps = % DEC LPS40 mode_def lpstz = % DEC lps20 mode_def lqlores = % Epson LQ-500, 180x180dpi mode_def lqmed = % Epson LQ-500, 360x180dpi mode_def lqmedl = % Epson LQ-500, 360x180dpi landscape mode_def lview = % Sigma L-View monitor mode_def lwpro = % Apple LaserWriterPro 810 mode_def macmag = % Mac screens at magstep 1 mode_def mactrue = % Mac screens at 72dpi mode_def ncd = % NCD 19-inch mode_def nec = % NEC mode_def nechi = % NEC-P6 at 360x360dpi mode_def nexthi = % NeXT 400dpi, Newgen mode_def nextscrn = % 100dpi NeXT monitor mode_def nullmode = % TFM files only mode_def ocessfz = % OCE 6750-PS mode_def okidata = % Okidata mode_def okidatal = % Okidata landscape mode_def pcscreen = % also, e.g., high-resolution Suns mode_def phaser = % Tektronix Phaser PXi mode_def prntware = % Printware 720IQ mode_def qms = % QMS (Xerox engine) mode_def qmsostf = % QMS 1725 mode_def qmsoszz = % QMS 1700 mode_def ricoh = % e.g., TI Omnilaser mode_def ricoha = % e.g., IBM 4216 mode_def ricohlp = % e.g., DEC LN03 mode_def sparcptr = % Sun SPARCprinter mode_def starnlt = % Star NL-10 mode_def starnltl = % Star NL-10 landscape mode_def sun = % Sun and BBN Bitgraph at 85dpi mode_def supre = % Ultre*setter at 2400dpi mode_def toshiba = % Toshiba 13XX, EpsonLQ mode_def ultre = % Ultre*setter at 1200dpi mode_def vs = % VAXstation monitor mode_def vtftzz = % Varityper 4200 B-P mode_def vtftzzhi = % Varityper 4300P at 2400dpi mode_def vtftzzlo = % Varityper 4300P at 1200dpi mode_def vtfzszw = % Varitype 5060W, APS 6 mode_def vtszz = % Varityper Laser 600 mode_def xrxesnz = % Xerox 8790 or 4045 mode_def xrxfzfz = % Xerox 4050/4075/4090/4700 mode_def xrxnszz = % Xerox 9700 mode_def xrxtszz = % Xerox 3700 ------------------------------ About TeXhax...

You may want to get the latest versions of lucida.dtx and lucida.ins from Y&Y. These take care of some minor problems in the older versions found in PSNFSS on CTAN. Or, just wait for Sebastian's new versions to show up on CTAN when he is satisfied with the changes he has made. The new versions of the lucida.* files also solve some problems with upright Greek in bold math. You can contact Y&Y at tech-help@YandY.com. I don't know about the metric files, since I use the fonts directly (using the TFM files supplied with the fonts). There may be aditional problems lurking in the VF files that I am not aware off.

Dear reader, At this moment I am writing my graduation report. Some time ago I encountered the TeX/LaTeX typesetting system, and decided to write this report with the package. In contrast to many text processing systems TeX/LaTeX satisfies all my needs in a very convenient way. Compliments for this. Still a question rises for which I cannot find an answer. In this report I want to incorporate large numbers of eps graphs. A very fine mechanism for this purpose has been developped. But I would like to set a default that puts all floating stuff (including tables) on the odd (left) pages of the "book" document class. Is this possible by using a style file or need I some extra code? Please forgive me if I haven't read the LaTeX Companion good enough. I hope that someone else has come across this question and solved it.

It is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org in the file contrib/applications/xdvi-20.tar.Z (and coming soon to a mirror site near you...). Patchlevel 20 fixes some bugs that were present in patchlevel 19. Patchlevel 19, which was recently released but not announced (due to the bugs), adds: o Support for header= and `!' PostScript specials. o Path searching for PostScript header and figure files. o Ability to use compressed PostScript figure files. o Numerous smaller bug fixes and enhancements. Among the bugs fixed is an image clipping problem with gs 3.x. The patch to gs that I had circulated earlier is no longer necessary (and probably incorrect). The new FAQ file contains a revised patch, provided by Tim Theisen, which fixes bugs both for ghostview and for xdvi. You should use it if you are using gs 3.3.3. This version of xdvi also includes version 1.9 of gsftopk, which contains fixes for working with gs 3.3.3.

Firstly, I would quite like to have a thin rule between my floats and my main text. Is there a package that will do this? I am using the excellent caption package to put the text in small and the _Figure 1.1_ in bold. Some of my captions are, however, quite long and it would be nice to seperate them from the main text. Secondly, I have put my footnotes in seperate files which are then incorporated into the main text using \input. (This is to make counting words *not* including the footnotes easier). For some reason this creates a larger than normal space after the footnotemark in the main text which looks mighty ugly. I have made sure that there is no extra space or lines after the end of the footnote in the \input file. Lastly, I am using the Chicago bibliography package. I have a number of publications where the the year is a range, ie. year="1988--1989". If I use this form in the BiBTeX file I get (Bloggs 1989) in the text, but Bloggs, F. (1988--1989) in the bibliography. If I put year="1988--89" in the bibtex file I get (Bloggs 8 89) in the text. What I ideally would like is the format in the text and bibliography to be the same, either 1988--89, 1988--1988 or whatever. Hope someone can help me! Please can you mail me direct at wom@soton.ac.uk Many thanks in advance, Kris Lockyear. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 12:02:26 -0000 From: DMURDOCK@ailm.may.ie Subject: Using TeX and LaTex with Open VMS AXP 6.1 systems We are replacing our central VMS 5.5-2 node with an OpenVMS AXP 6.1 central node.

Leslie Stoneham did this extension to web-mode as part of her M.S. plan of study. It is an extension of web-mode.el that was originally done by Mark Motl and I now maintain. When using emacs-19, it extends the menu bar that shows at the top to allow most of the web-mode functionality via pull down menus. It was developed and used on SunOS, AIX, and Solaris. It should be portable. The file contains the web-menu.el and a directory which includes her report. I warn against executing latex on the file since it uses a local thesis style file. The dvi file is included and bunches of bitmaps (in ps form) that are included. A short modification to web-mode.el is described in the report that is required for existing versions of web-mode.el. In a couple of weeks I should be able to redo that directory such that one retrieval of web-mode will get all. We have primarily used it with FWEB and CWEB. Please let me know of any problems you have with it. Leslie has a job and leaves these hallowed halls later this week.

Roegel) Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: The LaTeX Navigator ***************************************** ********* THE LATEX NAVIGATOR *********** ***************************************** => http://www.loria.fr/tex <= This is to announce a WWW site completely devoted to TeX and friends. The site is located at the LORIA research center at Nancy, France, which is also a CTAN mirror (ftp.loria.fr, cd ctan:). The main purpose of ``The LaTeX Navigator'' is to provide documentation about macros, packages, formats, tools, TeX engines, to give pointers, etc. Currently more than 200 .dvi or .ps files are proposed and this amount is constantly growing. (therefore any contribution or idea of contribution will be most welcome) The top pages are written in three languages: french, english and german and you can choose which you like, though the underlying documents are mostly in english (except our local guide). The german pages are far from perfect, but we will improve that soon ... The top english page shows the following items: General documentation about (La)TeX The (La)TeX local guide of our site (LORIA) (in French) Bibliography and indexes Literate programming Classes Macros and packages Fonts and symbols Graphics Formats and tools Engines and distributions Historical documents FAQs, ftp, miscellaneous ... File search on the CTAN archive (ftp.loria.fr) WWW servers dedicated to (La)TeX Feel free to wander through these pages and don't hesitate to report problems to latex@loria.fr (for instance unreadable files, or files using unusual fonts for instance).

We are now ready (finally!) to release this, together with a new release of the PSNFSS package for LaTeX2e, and a new version of the Berry fontnaming scheme. The maintainers of PSNFSS, fontinst, web2c, and dvips all urge you to start using this new setup, so that all the bothersome variants can be abolished by the end of the year. The entire distribution is on the CTAN hosts in fonts/psfonts.beta. Its big - don't pull all the files on spec! Get what you need. Prepackaged sets for Textures users will be made available very shortly. These files will replace both the LaTeX PSNFSS (currently on CTAN in fonts/metrics) and the font metrics distributed with dvips. Both of these packages contained virtual fonts which more or less mimicked the original TeX text encoding, and (in the case of PSNFSS) the Cork encoding. However, the two packages used different base fonts, thus making previewing painful (and wasting disk space). Now, everything uses a single base font in a new encoding named 8r (see tools/8r.enc or tools/8r.etx). This new base encoding is *not* Adobe Standard Encoding, because that does not provide access to all of the 228 characters normally supplied with a Type 1 font. Therefore, you must use a DVI-to-PostScript driver which can perform reencoding, such as dvips(k), Y&Y's drivers, OzTeX, Textures etc. We are still contemplating whether the base encoding should be the current one (mostly compatible with Windows), the texnansi encoding promulgated by Y&Y (see tools/texnansi.vec), or something else. Comments are welcome. Aside from the base font, there are other small changes in the new fonts. For the Cork-encoded fonts, the stretch and shrink of the interword spacing has been changed. For the dvips fonts, the positions of the preaccented characters have been fixed (e.g., Aring is at the same position in every font). Therefore, the font checksums are different. The actual character dimensions, however, remain unchanged. The new fonts (mostly) have new names! You can get the new fontname distribution from ftp.cs.umb.edu:private/tex/fontname-*.tar.gz or in the tools/ subdirectory of this distribution. This distribution includes support the standard 35 fonts, various freely available fonts (with type1's), and many commercial-only fonts (no type1's). Smallcaps and obliqued versions are available in bold and normal variants, where applicable. All fonts have ligatures and kerning (no ``raw'' fonts); therefore, even the *8r base fonts can be used for real typesetting. An experimental support is provided in PSNFSS for this. We built these fonts using both fontinst and afm2tfm (and other utilities). Both required changes, which will be merged into the next releases. See the tools/ directory if you want to reconstruct the work. The changes to fontinst are extensive, and if you are not confident you understand them, please wait until the author finds time to merge them into a complete new release later this year. ***************************************** Primary perpetrators: Sebastian Rahtz, Alan Jeffrey, Karl Berry.

The installation has been done at ftp.tex.ac.uk; it should propagate to the other CTANs in fairly short order (though I have little evidence that propagation to ftp.shsu.edu is reliable just now). Barbara Beeton has supplied the following announcement text: =========================================================================== Date: 08 Mar 1995 18:22:30 -0800 --------- ANNOUNCING THE 1995 UPDATE TO TeX, METAFONT, and FRIENDS -------- I've just gone through all accumulated correspondence and made appropriate changes to the master TeX sources on my home computer. (I plan to do this again in February of 1998, 2002, 2007, etc.!) My files are grouped in two main subdirectories, "dist" and "local"; the former consists of the master WEB, TeX, METAFONT, Computer Modern, TeXware, and MFware sources, while the latter consists of my own change files and supplementary macros and fonts that other people might like to look at. These files fit into similarly named parts of the big TeX archive tree; they should replace their former counterparts. I don't know how to do this myself, not even at labrea, so I am hoping that all current maintainers of TeXnicalities will be alerted to the existence of this new material. I've checked everything pretty carefully, so I don't think there's any need to wait until independent vetting has been done. TeX Version 3.14159 has four bug fixes, two of which are significant: 1) fontmemsize can vary between formats dumped by INITEX and loaded by VIRTEX --- this problem had already been fixed by all the major implementations 2) math kerns disappear again at line breaks, as they should --- this problem arose by mistake in version 3.1415. 3) overflow won't occur when converting huge stretch/shrink amounts from real to integer --- again, implementors had fixed this 4) you can have more than 32K font parameters without crashing TeX (nobody ever wanted so many, but a crash is a crash) METAFONT Version 2.718 has only one bug fix, but it corrects a problem in the linear-equation-solving engine that lost significant figures and caused spurious overflows; the bug had been present since version 0.1. I've written a letter to Barbara Beeton about this, and she can send you a copy if you need more information. The bug had only microscopic effect on Computer Modern fonts. Ten changes were made to the Computer Modern fonts, affecting nine of the master source files, but the changes are rather minor and nearly invisible to the eye. (Again they help reduce the chance of overflow.) I have been unhappy to see so many people still using the pre-1992 CM fonts, because I made MAJOR important improvements in that year, and I hate to run across the obsolete symbols in preprints that people send me! Anybody who hasn't installed CM fonts since 1991 should surely change now; and please help stamp out all copies of the old fonts that you see installed anywhere. (The lowercase delta is the main giveaway --- the new shape is vastly better than the old. Also arrows are now darker, and several calligraphic caps are improved, etc etc; the TFM files did not change, but the images got lots better.) On the other hand, if you do have the 1993-or-later version of the fonts, there's no need to replace old bitmaps. Just replace the old source files, and regenerate fonts from them at your leisure. There are new versions of DVItype (3.5), PLtoTF (3.5), and VPtoVF (1.4). DVItype now checks the DVI file more carefully in material that is skipped over (e.g., between pages). Plain TeX format, version 3.14159, has eight changes, but only the change to \bmod has a substantial probability of affecting existing .tex files. Accents \b and \d have gotten better in four ways. Barbara Beeton will be distributing reward checks to 20 people who were first to report significant errors in Volumes A--E. The big "sweepstakes" winners this year were Chris Thompson (Cambridge) and Bogus{\l}aw Jackowski (Gdansk), who received the maximum $327.68 reward for pointing out longstanding bugs in TeX and METAFONT, respectively. All sources are frozen and no future changes will be made unless a new, serious and easily fixable error is reported. The threshold for calling something a feature rather than a bug is rising exponentially and may be almost infinitely high when I do this exercise again in 1998! However, I do still promise to maintain these programs as long as I am able. Where can you find the new sources? At labrea.stanford.edu, in file ~ftp/alpha/tex95.tar.gz (slightly less than 3MB). Thanks to all of you for continued high quality support. -- Don Knuth 3/8/95 ============================================================================= The update I have performed started from the file Knuth mentions, labrea.stanford.edu:ftp/alpha/tex95.tar.gz; I have only re-installed things that have changed (as far as possible). Of particular import is what I have done with the CM font changes. We have on the archive two directories which purport to hold CM sources - -- systems/knuth/cm and fonts/cm/mf systems/knuth/cm has almost nothing in it here, and what it does hold is identical to the sources in fonts/cm/mf I have therefore updated fonts/cm/mf, and not touched systems/knuth/lib All other directories in Knuth's tar file are mapped to those on CTAN by the transformations ./dist/* -> systems/knuth/*, ./local/* -> systems/knuth/local/* I have also rebuilt all of the files in fonts/cm/pk; I've included a small README in that directory (not least to ensure that the next person who has to do this job doesn't have to run around in such small circles ;-). I haven't regenerated the contents of fonts/cm/gf, and have deleted the files that were there; that directory contained a README saying that the files weren't there, and this seemed an appropriate moment to align that statement with reality. The README in fonts/cm/pk says: ======================================================================== I have included in this directory what I believe to be the right sort of thing to match what was there already. This is not to say that I'm terribly proud of it, but it seems about right. The pk300 fonts were generated using CanonCX mode from Karl Berry's modes.mf The pk300w fonts were generated using RicohFortyEighty mode from Karl Berry's modes.mf The pk240 fonts were generated using CanonLBPTen mode from Karl Berry's modes.mf (this differs from the "CanonLBP" used in the previous version in name only). The pk120 fonts were generated with the same parameters as were used in the previous version, though nothing with those parameters exists in Karl Berry's modes.mf; by analogy with the previous version, I've called this mode OneTwoZero. I was not terribly surprised that several files gave me metafont errors with this mode; the most (apparently) serious were cmss12 and cmssi12, though several of the smaller-sized fonts had strange paths of one sort or another. I've included a slightly hacked copy of a Makefile which used to be in the directory ../gf300; I had to hack it because the original neither reflected the current `best' thinking about the way TeX systems should be organised, nor the way they're organised on our discs (which is different for hysterical raisins). ======================================================================== I believe that I've completed the job I undertook, but if anyone spots problems with my work, they are welcome to get in touch with me by mail (there's little point in taxing the newsgroups with it unless there are problems with my work that are serious enough to constitute major pitfalls that might bother other people).

This allows you to view PostScript fonts in xdvi. This version fixes bugs with the ReEncodeFont directive in the psfonts.map file. This is needed in order to use fonts with the `8r' encoding (as in the recently-released psfonts.beta package). To upgrade, you can either: 1. get the whole package again: CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.10.tar.gz or 2. apply the following patch to version 1.9: CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.9-1.10.diff.gz (Unfortunately, ftp.dante.de is not mirroring this properly, though.)

I have to warn you though that not all documentation is up to what it should be yet. What's new in release 3.5? - Because of some of the major changes I made I have decided to give the (formerly called) language-specific files a new name: "language definition file". They also no longer have the extension.sty but ".ldf". The consequence is that \usepackage{english} no longer works, only the documented syntax \usepackage[english]{babel} works. - Completely changed the way babel deals with active characters. They are now activated once and stay active for the rest of the document, only their expansion changes. There is still one problem with the approach: active characters that take an argument (such as " in a lot of languages) give errors what TeX finds the sequence "}. - Active characters (or two letter combinations starting with an active character) are now called shorthands. One can have three levels of shorthands: user defined, language defined and system defined. Active characters may be defined to take an argument. - Active characters are now written to auxiliary files *verbatim* - A language change now also writes information in the .aux file as the change might also affect typesetting the table of contents. The consequence is that an .aux file generated by a LaTeX format with babel preloaded gives errors when read with a LaTeX format without babel, but I think this problaly doesn't occur. - Babel can now be used together with both the inputenc and fontenc packages. So far Babel only knows about T1 and OT1 encodings, if it needs to know other encodings I would like to hear it. - A lot of code has been moved from language definition files (note the new name for them I used to call them language-specific files). This is caused by the rewrite of the active character handling and by the implementation of T1 support, - A number of languages have been added to the distribution (breton, estonian, irish, lower sorbian, scottish and upper sorbian) - More laguage definition files make characters active; currently we have the following active characters: ~ system, catalan, galician, spanish : breton, francais, turkish ; breton, francais ! breton, francais, turkish ? breton, francais " catalan, danish, dutch, galician, german, polish, portuguese, slovene, spanish, upper sorbian ' catalan, galician, spanish ^ esperanto = turkish - This beta release is not yet compatible with plain TeX; I have *only* tested it with LaTeX2e. I would like to get compatibility with plain back before the final release. Compatibility with LaTeX 2.09 I do not regard as important as LaTeX 2.09 is obsolete by now. But making babel 3.5 run with plain TeX probably also makes it run with LaTeX2.09. When I hear nothing from you (or others who get the beta test from CTAN) I will hopefully make the final release 3.5 available somewhere in July. (When I do hear from you I will strive to reacht the same date, but that depends on the complexity of the problems that need to be solved.) The last remark: where can you get babel 3.5 beta? It is available in babel-3.5beta.zip in the directory /tex-archive/macros/latex/packags/babel on CTAN. Happy testing!

You can get it by FTP from: :/tex-archive/tds/draft-standard/ (The `/tex-archive' may vary; see the end of this message for a list of possible hosts.) The draft standard is available in LaTeX, PostScript, TeXinfo, HTML, and SGML formats. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Please communicate them by email to twg-tds@shsu.edu or by paper mail to Norman Walsh O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. 90 Sherman Street Cambridge, MA 02140 USA The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS) for macros, fonts, and other such implementation-independent TeX files. As a matter of practicality, it also suggests ways to incorporate the rest of the TeX files into a single structure. In the not-so-long run a consistent directory structure will make it much easier to install and maintain TeX. We hope that administrators and developers of both free and commercial implementations of TeX will adopt this standard. It has been designed to work on all modern systems. In particular, this Technical Working Group (TWG) believes it is usable under Unix, MS-DOS, OS/2, MacOS, and VMS. We hope to publish another draft, or make the final release (depending on the volume of comments and concerns) shortly after TUG 95. - -- the TUG TWG on a TeX Directory Structure ------------------------------ About TeXhax...

Firstly, I would quite like to have a thin rule between my floats and my main text. Is there a package that will do this? I am using the excellent caption package to put the text in small and the _Figure 1.1_ in bold. Some of my captions are, however, quite long and it would be nice to seperate them from the main text. I don't know of such a package, but there is a simple "hook" for this sort of stuff in the LaTeX output routine - or at least there was in the LaTeX 2.09. The following is taken from the 2.09 sources (yes, what I've got handy is all antique): % \topfigrule : Command to place rule (or whatever) between floats % at top of page and text. Executed in inner vertical % mode right before the \textfloatsep skip separating % the floats from the text. Must occupy zero vertical % space. (See \footnoterule.) % \botfigrule : Same as \topfigrule, but put after the \textfloatsep % skip separating text from the floats at bottom of page. Unless changed, both of these are \let to \relax. For reference, here's \footnoterule from ARTICLE.DOC (slightly editted): \def\footnoterule{\kern-3pt \hrule width .4\columnwidth \kern 2.6pt} % The \hrule has default height of .4pt . Secondly, I have put my footnotes in seperate files which are then incorporated into the main text using \input. (This is to make counting words *not* including the footnotes easier). For some reason this creates a larger than normal space after the footnotemark in the main text which looks mighty ugly. I have made sure that there is no extra space or lines after the end of the footnote in the \input file. It's hard to picture exactly what you are doing and where you might already have explicit spaces. One quick possibility to try: The last line of your \input file presumably ends with a newline, which as usual TeX treats as a space. Try adding "%" as the last character. If this does it, but it's a pain to edit all the separate footnote files, try putting \unskip just after each \input - i.e., \input{somefoot.note}\unskip. -- Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jun 1995 23:40:17 -0800 From: Donald Arseneau Subject: Re: Lines after figures and space after \input In TeXhax Digest V95 #11, Kris Lockyear writes: % Firstly, I would quite like to have a thin rule between my floats and % my main text. Is there a package that will do this? No package necessary! Just declare \newcommand\topfigrule{\hrule} \newcommand\botfigrule{\hrule} \newcommand\dblfigrule{\hrule} It is illogical to use \newcommand, but looking at the definitions in LaTex, I forsee the necessity. % Secondly, I have put my footnotes in seperate files. This creates a % larger than normal space after the footnotemark I have made sure that % there is no extra space or lines after the end of the footnote in the % \input file. Ah!

In the CTAN archive there is the code for a program to do just such a conversion but we cannot get it to compile on our LINUX machine.

Braams" Subject: Babel release 3.5 available now Hi, I am releived to finally be able to tell you that I have finalized Babel release 3.5. What's new in release 3.5? - Because of some of the major changes I made I have decided to give the (formerly called) language-specific files a new name: "language definition file". They also no longer have the extension.sty but ".ldf". The consequence is that \usepackage{english} no longer works, only the documented syntax \usepackage[english]{babel} works. - Completely changed the way babel deals with active characters.

There is still one problem with the approach: active characters that take an argument (such as " in a lot of languages) give errors what TeX finds the sequence "}. - Active characters (or two letter combinations starting with an active character) are now called shorthands. One can have three levels of shorthands: user defined, language defined and system defined. Active characters may be defined to take an argument. - Introduced an environment `otherlanguage' (with the name of the language as argument) which acts like the \selectlanguage declaration. Also introduced the command \foreignlanguage, which takes two arguments. The arguments are the name of the language and the (short) text from that language. This command only switches hyphenation and specials. - Extended the syntax of language.dat for compatibility with Bernard Gaule's french package. - Each language definition file now tries to load a configuration file (which has the same name, but extension .cfg). - Active characters are now written to auxiliary files *verbatim* - A language change now also writes information in the .aux file as the change might also affect typesetting the table of contents. The consequence is that an .aux file generated by a LaTeX format with babel preloaded gives errors when read with a LaTeX format without babel, but I think this problaly doesn't occur. - Babel can now be used together with both the inputenc and fontenc packages. So far Babel only knows about T1 and OT1 encodings, if it needs to know other encodings I would like to hear it. - A lot of code has been moved from language definition files (note the new name for them I used to call them language-specific files). This is caused by the rewrite of the active character handling and by the implementation of T1 support, - A number of languages have been added to the distribution (breton, estonian, irish, lower sorbian, scottish and upper sorbian) - More laguage definition files make characters active; currently we have the following active characters: ~ system, catalan, galician, spanish : breton, francais, turkish ; breton, francais ! breton, francais, turkish ? breton, francais " catalan, danish, dutch, finnish, galician, german, polish, portuguese, slovene, spanish, upper sorbian ` catalan (when option activegrave is used) ' catalan, galician, spanish (when option activeacute is used) ^ esperanto = turkish - This releaseshould be compatible with plain TeX.I don not know if it is Compatible with LaTeX 2.09 but I do not regard that as important as LaTeX 2.09 is obsolete by now. But making babel 3.5 run with plain TeX could also make it run with LaTeX2.09 (not tested, no guarantees). The last remark: where can you get babel 3.5?

I collected some dvi-rearrangers from ftp.dante.de, but none of them appears to to do this, or I am using them the wrong way. Please, send the answers directly to me, because I get TeXhax quite sporadically.

I am using AMS-LaTeX 1.2 of January 1995 on LaTeX2e of November 1994 on TeX 3.141, and BIBTeX 0.99b. Including cyrillic article titles in records in the .BIB file works fine, but including cyrillic author names causes trouble, since BIBTeX cannot extract reference tags (for the AMSALPHA bibliography style). However, I would be content if the tags would appear in latin, entered in the KEY field of the BIBTEX record. Onfortunately though, the presence of an AUTHOR field seems to overrun the information in KEY. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance for your efforts.

Besides adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk we have don errror corrections and new features, some of them are: - file and directory selection in one menu, directory creation possible now - radiobuttons where possible - double mouse clicks in select boxes replaced by simple mouse clicks - improvements in the program execution - creation of the TeXtool buttons in the main menu optional by choice of the local administrator The setting files from older versions of xtem may be kept unchanged (mkcommand.vst excepted), thus switching from the older version (3.12) to the new release will be done easily. This new release 4.00-Beta will become the official release after a test period of some weeks and following error corrections, we are thus interested in extensive tests of the new release on different Unix Systems. The file necessary for installation is: ftp.lrw.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem_texmenu.4.00-Beta.tar.gz (The final release of course will be transferred to the ALCATEL and CTAN server s) For those who don't know xtem_TeXMenu up to now, we give a short overview: xtem provides for a simple and comfortable graphical user interface to control the following facilities: - file and directory selection, directory creation - editor (vi, emacs, ...) including additional windows for the LaTeX-syntax (using hypertext) and examples - TeX, LaTeX, ... - previewer (ghostview, xdvi, TkDvi, ...) - printing (including comfortable printer selection, ...) - syntax and spelling check - makeindex - bibtex - additional programs as required . . . Online help is available for all the buttons and windows by simple mouse click. xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems. The configuration has to be done by the local TeX-Administrator by adapting configuration files ("open lists"). Happy and comfortable TeXing, the authors: G. Lamprecht, W. Lotz, R.

You may correct this by a simple patch: in file dm.tcl you have to replace one line (line number 142): if {$prmtext==""} {vstr_printer; set pg_start "$start"; \ set pg_end "$ende"; updateWdmb1} (the line is broken into two lines with line length <80 here!) by the following lines: ##################### start replacement ################################ proc vstr_driver {} { global Wdm Wdv prtdriver dmdsel_v prmtext prmrelabs prmsel set f [open_vst prt_$prtdriver.vst]; getscl $f e set s [string index [string trim $e] 0] getscl $f e; close $f; set z [split $e $s]; set dmdsel_v "$e" set prmtext [string trim [lindex $z 0]] set prmrelabs [string trim [lindex $z 1]] set prmsel [string trim [lindex $z 2]] if [winfo exists $Wdm.b.f.f.li] {selection clear $Wdm.b.f.f.li} if [winfo exists $Wdv.c.f.f.li] {selection clear $Wdv.c.f.f.li} } if {$prmtext==""} {vstr_driver; set pg_start "$start"; \ set pg_end "$ende"; updateWdmb1} ##################### end replacement ################################### i.e. vstr_printer *may not be called* in this case, but only a part >From this procedure, which I put into a new procedure named vstr_driver. I have put version 4.01 on our server, yet the only difference to version 4.00 is the error correction mentioned above! Another question: as I have no dvilj printer driver (and don't want to install it, as I am using Postscript printers only) I am interested in getting the man page for this printer or getting the options needed in the files "printing.vst" and "prt_dvilj.vst" conderning formats, portrait/landscape, page selection etc. Thanks, Roland Weibezahn Dr. Roland Weibezahn Phone : +49-421-218-3532 LRW Bremen Telefax: +49-421-218-4112 c/o University Bremen Bibliothekstr. 1 Postbox: 330440 28359 Bremen 28334 Bremen Germany email: weibezahn@lrw.uni-bremen.de ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jul 1995 16:20:54 +0200 From: phons@EI.ELE.TUE.NL Subject: Announcement 4allTeX CD-ROM version 3 =======================ANNOUNCEMENT====================== 4allTeX: NTG's TeX distribution for DOS and OS/2 machines ===================Version 3=Version 3=================== The THIRD version of the NTG cdrom and the floppy distibution is now available! And we have STILL the FIRST PLUG and PLAY TeX distribution for MSDOS PCs. Our CD's also run on OS/2, and large parts of them are useful for other platforms like Unix. A TWO-CD release with on the first CD-ROM the complete 4TeX/4allTeX workbench, based on emTeX. 'You name it, we have it' (more or less..) And the 4TeX workbinch nicely integrates everything. The second CD-ROM is loaded with TeX documentation: back issues of MAPS, Baskerville, TeXHAX.... Find out more about it on the WWW server of the NTG (dutch TeX users group) http://ei0.ei.ele.tue.nl/ntg/ Included is an order form for the CD-ROMS. Shipping will start after the TUG conference of Jul 24 to Jul 28. The price of the CDROM includes an extensive 170 page users manual, and includes shipping and handling, it is set on 60 dutch guilders (present exchange rate USD 39) ========================================================= The DISKETTE version of 4allTeX is part of the NTG 4allTeX CD-ROM, but also works as a stand-alone system. Only one diskette is needed to start, we offer a MODULAR and ready to run emTeX setup for DOS machines. A ready to run emTeX is packed on 1 (ONE) high density diskette. The system can be extended with a series of extension disks, which also contain popular extensions like dvips, GhostScript, AMSpell and a series of extensions to LaTeX and METAFONT. Note: Our floppy series does NOT incorporate the FULL emTeX distribution. It is however compatible with its directory structure. New features: * emTeX official release as of 4-Jul-95 * New directory structure according to emTeX structure. * LaTeX2e Jul95 pl 1. * updates to lots of other programs.

I have been unable to establish organisational support for this activity, and I feel I can no longer maintain the fiction that I am able even to carry out duties such as attending the Board Meeting. I notified the Board of Directors of this before the Annual Meeting last week, and am happy to announce that Sebastian Rahtz will be taking over as Secretary. I will continue to be active as far as I can in the TeX field and will continue as editor of TeX and TUG News. ///Peter Flynn ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Aug 1995 11:48:38 -0400 From: "K. Berry" Subject: fontname 2.0 available I have released version 2.0 of the naming scheme for TeX fonts. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/fontname.tar.gz ... mirrored at ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/tex/tex-k ... and CTAN & mirrors in /tex-archive/info (see bwlo). There have been many changes and additions since 1.6, many as a result of the new psfonts distribution now on CTAN, based on the new 8r encoding. Here's a summary of the changes: * New encoding variants 7 and 8 to expand the namespace, changing existing names for expert, oldstyle figure, alternate fonts. * Tables split out from fontname.texi to machine-readable *.map files. * Abbreviations for the 500-font Bitstream CD, the Softkey Keyfonts Pro CD, and common Apple fonts included. * TimesNewRomanPS assigned its own typeface family. * Some afm2tfm *.enc files included. As always, thanks to the many contributors. I've tried to record their/your names in the ChangeLog.

Dr. Matthew Clemence University College London. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Aug 1995 20:28:54 +0100 From: Russel Winder Subject: The "Dog Book" and Packages This maybe a stupid collection of questions, no doubt I will get mountains of hate mail if it is but... I am a (relatively happy) LaTeX2e user using a "bog standard" installation. The LaTeX Companion by Goosens, Mittelback and Samarin talks of many packages that are not part of our standard installation but nonetheless look useful. In ferreting around CTAN, I find some of them are in the LaTeX209 tree rather than the LaTeX2e tree and some of them are not there at all. Is it the case that what is in the book is supposed to be on CTAN? Is it the case that the LaTeX2e tree should contain everything for LaTeX2e or what? I will not mention which packages I am after for the moment since my problem is that the code of both the ones I am interested in does not appear work properly. There is also a macro in latex.ltx that appears to be broken. Now under the circumstances (i.e. that one of the macros is in latex.ltx, that the packages are written about in an official LaTeX2e book, and that lots of people must use the facilties of LaTeX2e) I should perhaps doubt me and my understanding but it all behaves in a very broken fashion. I have rewritten the macro and the two packages so that they work perfectly. What is the mechanism for finding out who is wrong? Russel.

Things went smoothly and the printer was indeed using its own fonts. The trouble began when I wanted to build a small caps font. Again following the instructions I ran afm2tfm Times-Roman -V ptmsc rptmsc vptovf ptmsc.vpl ptmsc.vf ptmsc.tfm I also added a line to PSFONTS.MAP like this: rptmsc Times-Roman "/Times-Roman Small Caps" The TeX file was amended to read now: \font\vvzsmc=ptmsc at 10pt {\vvzsmc ... (some text) ... } which went through TeX and DVIPS without a hitch, but the resulting PostScript file wouldn't print. From the front panel of the printer you could see that it received the file and was working on it, but no output was produced. If you have any idea what went wrong, I'd appreciated your help very much.

This allows you to view PostScript fonts in xdvi. In addition to various bug fixes, this version: 1. optionally incorporates Karl Berry's kpathsea library for recursive path searching, 2. works better with gs 3.33: it doesn't choke if you defined SAFER following the recent CERT advisory, and it does not suffer from segmentation faults caused by a bug in the garbage collection routines. To upgrade, you can either: 1. get the whole package again: CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.11.tar.gz or 2. apply the following patch to version 1.10: CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.10-1.11.diff.gz These files are also available in Unix compress format from math.berkeley.edu in the directory pub/Software/TeX. - --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu ------------------------------ About TeXhax...

Agreed, and three cheers for them for believing that documentation is important. I only wish more people developing computer-based systems did. > but i think you are being unduly negative.

But > then its sometime since i did multiple indexes and bibliographies You are right, I am being overly negative. It's just that I need multiple indexes and bibliographies for collected works and proceedings and find it hard enough to choose between packages that do exist and work. In this case choosing between index and multind or chapterbib and bibunits is not easy as it is difficult to know what the metrics are. Having to make them all work before they can be judged makes things worse; most people are only likely to want to make 1 of each work and must choose abstractly, i.e. from information in books like the Dog Book. The write-ups there don't actuallygive enough information to decide. To reemphasise what I said in my original letter, most of LaTex2e works perfectly for me. > the standard answer from Frank Mittelbach to letters like yours is > "ok, so you have found bibunits.sty doesnt work with 2e; fine, find > the problem, fix it up, document it, and submit it back in CTAN under > the 2e tree". that way the TeX community works well > > i expect that sounds pompous though No it doesn't think it does sound pompous, nor is the principle in error, but the problem is that people who are not within the immediate circle of developers can feel: 1. that material they submit will not be taken seriously as it doesn't come >From the inner circle; 2. very defensive about their macros incase they are a bit unsophisticated and cause howls of derision from members of the inner circle and others; and/or 3. unsure of what the procedure is as it is not widely documented.

Things went smoothly and the } printer was indeed using its own fonts. } } The trouble began when I wanted to build a small caps font. Again } following the instructions I ran } } afm2tfm Times-Roman -V ptmsc rptmsc } vptovf ptmsc.vpl ptmsc.vf ptmsc.tfm } } I also added a line to PSFONTS.MAP like this: } } rptmsc Times-Roman "/Times-Roman Small Caps" } } The TeX file was amended to read now: } } \font\vvzsmc=ptmsc at 10pt } {\vvzsmc ... (some text) ... } } } which went through TeX and DVIPS without a hitch, but the resulting } PostScript file wouldn't print. From the front panel of the printer } you could see that it received the file and was working on it, but no } output was produced. You do not require the entry in the PSFONTS.MAP file - the Virtual Font (.vf) file refers the DVI processor to the appropriate raw font files. Here's a small piece of text that I wrote a while back to remind myself of what I was doing.... In this case we want to use the same base font, but scale it to get the lower case capitals. For Times-Roman you will find ptmsc.tfm and ptmsc.vf, but no rptmsc.tfm. The reason for this is that when the .vpl file is created (using the -V option of afm2tfm) it refers to the raw tfm file twice in two sizes (size 1.0 and 0.8). The .vf file generated from this reflects this mapping, so dvips looks only for rptmr.tfm which it does find. (For reference, the command to do this is 'afm2tfm ptmr.afm -V ptmsc.vpl rptmr.tfm' since the raw tfm file is rptmr.tfm and not rptmsc.tfm). As a side effect, no entry for Small Caps fonts is required in the psfonts.map file. Dave.

We do our best to maintain a usable set, but we are (to some extent) at the mercy of authors. In a few cases, the package listed in the book has been superseded; some packages have (I think) been withdrawn. The file info/companion.ctan (originally by Sebastian Rahtz, but I now maintain it) lists the packages we think are described in TLC and where to find them, their replacements or nearest equivalents on CTAN. It's in a special cryptic format... >Is it the case that the LaTeX2e tree should contain everything for >LaTeX2e or what? No. Think of the dynamics of the situation: when 2e first appeared, there were (naturally enough) _no_ contributed packages for it. As they appear, we reach a point at which it becomes unreasonable to think of the 2.09 tree as anything other than a remote backup. At such a time, one would expect all packages there that are known to work under both 2.09 and 2e to migrate to the 2e tree. We may be at this stage already, but simply don't have the effort to evaluate the situation. There are endless proposals to reorganise the archive, but none that we can realistically undertake. >I will not mention which packages I am after for the moment since my >problem is that the code of both the ones I am interested in does not >appear work properly.

In the case of something in latex.ltx, you should submit the report to the LaTeX3 team, using latexbug.tex to ensure that adequate information is included. In the case of other packages, report the problem to the author. If you've corrected a problem, think in terms of submitting that correction to the author (or, under your own name, to the archive). >What is the mechanism for finding out who is wrong? Reporting these things is always a good start. The LaTeX3 team are (supernaturally, IMO) patient with bug reports, and many package authors are pretty decent too. Personally, I wouldn't use this list to report package problems (I monitor the Usenet group comp.text.tex fairly regularly), but if needs must, it's better than nothing. - -- Robin (Campaign for Real Radio 3) Fairbairns rf@cl.cam.ac.uk U of Cambridge Computer Lab, Pembroke St, Cambridge CB2 3QG, UK Private page ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Sep 1995 18:32:19 -0400 From: jgentle@acuity.gmu.edu (James E.

Besides adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk we have done error corrections, optimizations and new features, some of them are: - file and directory selection in one menu, directory creation possible now, - radiobuttons where possible, - double mouse clicks in select boxes replaced by simple mouse clicks, - improved error messages if errors are done in the setting file printing.vst, - creation of the TeXtool buttons in the main menu optional by choice of the local administrator, - last used size and position of the xtem windows can be saved, - printer driver dvilj is added to the setting files. The setting files from older versions of xtem may be kept unchanged (mkcommand.vst excepted), thus switching from the older version (3.12) to the new release will be done easily.

I read about new implementations of TeX and of all kinds of tools for converting TeX to and from SGML (e.g., HTML) syntax. This makes me wonder if anyone is working on grafting an SGML syntax onto a new version/implementation of TeX. It seems to me that this would give TeX a much bigger future. Old TeX files could be converted to the new syntax. A new syntax would present a good opportunity to revamp the macro system, either replacing it with a more robust macro system (no fragile macros) or replacing it with a tcl-like functional language; the point being to make writing TeX extensions less of a black art. So, anyone working on this, or feeling inspired? Comments? _Greg J.

(TeXhax Digest V95 #15) I suspect it would be formally a violation of license to publicize a METAFONT version even of the IBM Courier that has been made publicly availble through the X Consortium, and I am sure that it would be a violation of license in the case of Times---any Times, even Nimbus. But you can certainly get the Courier off the net, and you may very well have a Times on a pass-through license with your operating system. Make sure the Courier you get hold of is a PaintType 0 {filled outline) font and not a PaintType 3 (vector). Ps2mf will give you a working METAFONT. I would use t1ascii rather than the three-stage converters that come with the ps2mf package, and there are some other cautions as well, but when it works, ps2mf is neat stuff. Cautions: It won't affect either of the fonts you are asking about unless you choose to use the Bitstream versions, but Bitstream uses a clearly legitimate PostScript construction that ps2mf can't handle. Rasterized pk files compiled from the generally available ps2mf are immense, because all the hints are stored as specials in the pk file. I have a version (which I don't want to release until I have the Bitstream-related problem solved) which allows you to switch off the specials in everything other than proof mode. This makes sense, because once a font has already been rasterized, hints are of no use at all. Keep the specials out and pk files derived from ps2mf input are quite reasonable. I have always assumed that suppliers are not seriously concerned about private in-house conversions of their licensed fonts, but I have little doubt that they would take a dim view of the conversions being passed about freely. Actually, I can hardly see why Bitstream would care. At @ $40.00 for the 500-font CDROM, Bitstream fonts can hardly do more than pay for the mastering of the CDROM. It is the most absolute bargain in fonts today. - -- %=======================================================================% | N O T I C E | | Please note the changes in address and telephone number below. | | There is no Northwest Computing Support Center any longer. | | Until further notice, I shall be continuing to provide tape | | distributions and whatever other services I can. | | | %=======================================================================% Email concerned with UnixTeX distribution software may be sent To: mackay@cs.washington.edu Pierre A.

It sounds weird, but I want to print pages with color figures and the output from the color printer is not high enough quality for the text. The idea is to print the pages twice: 1) print the pages with the figures deleted --- easy enough by replacing each figure with a box of the appropriate size; an easy hack to do this for EPSF figures is to replace each EPSF file with a dummy version that contains just the %!EPSF and %%BoundingBox lines. 2) print the pages with only the figures --- this is the problem; obviously I can carefully write code to position the picture at just the right place for each page but this is tedious. Any suggestions that would make this easier? Hacking the postscript output to disable the show command won't work: some of the figures contain text and this must be printed with the figure, not with the body text. (The figures only use fonts not used in the text, so disabling specific fonts could work.) Looking in the TeXhax archives, I found a similar request in TeXhax 93.16, but no answer. FYI, I am using TeX C 2.9 (on a DEC workstation) and Textures 1.7 (on a Mac), both with LaTeX 2.09. --- Bruce Leban@lcs.mit.edu @somerville.mass.usa.earth ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Nov 1995 16:30:16 -0700 From: al019@freenet.uchsc.edu (D. R. Evans) Subject: Keeping signature lines attached Can anyone suggest how to solve the following problem in plain TeX? When one typesets a letter, the end of it looks more or less like this: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Yours thingummy Fred Bloggs My question is: How can one ensure that the "Yours thingummy" and the "Fred Bloggs" always appear on the same page as at least a couple of lines of text from the letter? One can put the whole last paragraph in a vbox, along with the thingummy and Bloggs lines, but that's not very good if the paragraph is long, because then the whole lot might get moved to the next page, instead of just the last few lines of the paragraph and the thingummy and Bloggs lines. Putting the question another way (to try to make sure that there is no misunderstanding), I want to make sure that instead of: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah - --- Page Break --- Yours thingummy Fred Bloggs if the page happens to want naturally break at the point, TeX should do something intelligent such as: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah - --- Page Break --- blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Yours thingummy Fred Bloggs Thanks for any help. - -------------------------------------------------------- D.R.

Berry" Subject: tex directory structure draft version 0.104 available Draft revision 0.104 of the proposed standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS) is available for public review. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu:/pub/tex/tds/tds.dvi (also tds.ps, etc.) Also from: ftp.th-darmstadt.de:/pub/tex/TDS/standard/ And shortly thereafter from any CTAN host in /tex-archive/tds/standard - -- ftp.dante.de, ftp.tex.ac.uk, ftp.shsu.edu, and their mirrors. finger ctan at one of these hosts for a complete list of mirrors, etc. The directory in darmstadt also has a subdirectory `papers' containing other items that may be of interest. We plan to fix any reported problems over the next few days, and then submit this next week for the next issue of TUGboat. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Please communicate them by email to twg-tds@shsu.edu or by paper mail to Karl Berry / 135 Center Hill Road / Plymouth, MA 02360 / USA The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS) for macros, fonts, and other such implementation-independent TeX files. It also suggests ways to incorporate the rest of the TeX files into a single structure. We hope that administrators and developers of both free and commercial implementations of TeX will adopt this standard. It has been designed to work on all modern systems. In particular, this Technical Working Group (TWG) believes it is usable under Unix, MS-DOS, OS/2, MacOS, and VMS. - -- the TUG Technical Working Group on a TeX Directory Structure (TWG-TDS) Since the entire standard is only about 40K gzipped, I've attached it to this message.

So, I've taken a deep breath and put TeXhax on "automatic pilot", under the control of the Majordomo list manager I use here. Majordomo's digest program has been doing sterling work for me on a digest of the Lotus Cars mailing list, the 300th automatically-produced issue of which dropped into my mailbox today, so I'm confident it can do the job. I'll be keeping a close eye on the digester's performance, but I hope this change should mean more regular issues of TeXhax --- assuming people keep sending mail for inclusion in it, of course! ~~David Osborne (TeXhax Digest moderator) ------------------------------ From: Salvatore Ruggieri Date: Mon, 27 Nov 1995 14:45:20 +0100 (GMT+0100) Subject: Printing problems I have a big problem with printing PostScript files generated with dvips starting from a Latex document. In the Latex document some \epsffile macro appear, and epsf files (generated with ps2epsi starting from a PostScript from FrameMaker 4) are included and printed correctly only on a few printers (actually, just a Sun). The problem arises mainly with HP, but also with Apple and other printers. The figures are not printed, although I can see them using xdvi or ghostview. Can anyone help me, please ? Thanks.

F. Beebe" Date: Tue, 28 Nov 1995 09:13:39 -0700 (MST) Subject: Re: TeX with an SGML syntax? J. Greg Davidson asks about using SGML as a markup language in place of TeX's macro language. First, it is important to note that SGML is not a programming language: it lacks loops, and has only extremely primitive conditional processing, both essential elements of a programming language (see C. Boehm and G. Jacopini, Comm. ACM, 9, 366--371 (1966)). SGML also lacks general macros, though simple entity definitions are possible. TeX's macro language is very definitely a programming language. There have been a few attempts to put a different face on TeX: (a) Free Software Foundation's Scribe-like TeXinfo system, available at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/texinfo*.*; (b) Lisp-like markup language: @String{TUGboat = "TUGboat"} @Article{Semenzato:TB12-34-434, author = "Luigi Semenzato and Edward Wang", title = "{{A text processing language should be first a programming language}}", journal = TUGboat, year = "1991", volume = "12", number = "34", pages = "434--441", month = Nov, } (c) SGML2TeX, briefly described on p. 295 of this excellent recent book: @String{pub-ITCP = "International Thomson Computer Press"} @String{pub-ITCP:adr = "20 Park Plaza Suite 1001, Boston, MA 02116 USA"} @Book{Flynn:1995:WH, author = "Peter Flynn", title = "The {WorldWideWeb} Handbook", publisher = pub-ITCP, address = pub-ITCP:adr, year = "1995", ISBN = "1-85032-205-8", LCCN = "TK5105.888 .F56 1995", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, pages = "xix + 351", note = "Includes HTML quick reference guide.", bibdate = "Wed Nov 15 08:24:30 1995", } Because TeX's macro language is powerful, unusual, and idiosyncratic, it is difficult to replace it with something that retains the power, yet is much easier to program, while still preserving all of the underlying functionality of TeX, which is essential for peaceful evolution and preservation of the substantial investment in existing documents (several tens of millions of dollars for the American Mathematical Society alone). My personal view is that the WorldWideWeb's use of HTML, a particular document instance of SGML, is rapidly helping to spread SGML awareness in the Internet community, and that will in turn put pressure on vendors of text processing software to provide better support for SGML. Once WWW browser clients become grammar based, as the commercial Panorama viewer for IBM PC Windows has already done, there is no reason to restrict WWW documents to HTML; they could employ arbitrary SGML coding and document types. For the WYSIWYG word processors, the spread of HTML use is probably a good thing, since it may force them in the direction of structured, rather than visual, markup. TeX's power as a typesetting engine can be used behind the scenes as a backend part of an SGML -> TeX system: Arbortext has been doing this quite successfully for a number of years as a commercial organization, and several publishers that I know of do the same with home-grown translation systems. ======================================================================== Nelson H.

To add syntax to latex so the structure of a document is checked would require somebody with deep programming understanding of TeX macros. A better way is to write documents in SGML and check and translate to latex. For the last year I have been using the QWERTZ DTD by Tom Gordon, (thomas.gordon@gmd.de) with some of the code from the Linuxdoc-SGML system. The input looks like LaTeX with SGML marking : so for example
Constructing a Compiler ... The 'format' program parses the input using the sgmls parser and generates latex, or html. The advantage is having one source to generate both printed and and web documents. It does mean that you cannot add your own macros, and maths and pictures have to be treated specially.

One very effective way, if you use dvips, is the following which I used for a three-color map and accompanying page of legend text. \input colordvi \textWhite %\textBlack \let\Red=\White \let\textRed=\textWhite \let\Green=\Black \let\textGreen=\textBlack \let\Black=\White \let\BottomColor=\Green In this case the Green overlay is being printed, and the Black and Red are invisible. There is, of course a lot more to it than that, but it is pretty easy to figure out. If you want to see the results, look at Lawrence J.

The map itself is done with TeXdraw. Fonts are Monotype Baskerville for the legend and Gill Sans and Castellar for the map. - -- %=======================================================================% | N O T I C E | | Please note the changes in address and telephone number below. | | There is no Northwest Computing Support Center any longer. | | Until further notice, I shall be continuing to provide tape | | distributions and whatever other services I can. | | | %=======================================================================% Email concerned with UnixTeX distribution software may be sent To: mackay@cs.washington.edu Pierre A.

Greg Davidson <jgd@well.sf.ca.us> asks about using SGML as a markup language in place of TeX's macro language. No, I didn't. I hate being misquoted :-(. I said: Date: Thu, 26 Oct 1995 14:15:28 -0700 From: vis!greg@UCSD.EDU Subject: TeX with an SGML syntax? I ... wonder if anyone is working on grafting an SGML syntax onto a new version/implementation of TeX. ^^^^^^ (elision and emphasis added) and I also said: A new syntax would present a good opportunity to revamp the macro system, either replacing it with a more robust macro system (no fragile macros) or replacing it with a tcl-like functional language; the point being to make writing TeX extensions less of a black art. I find that most people I show TeX to dislike it on sight and decline my offer to help them learn to use it. At the same time, they're interested in SGML and planning to convert existing documents to and write new documents in that form. This is the source of our big opportunity. My biggest gripe about TeX is that I find writing and understanding TeX macros to be difficult. It's especially difficult to parse TeX source mechanically. I would like a programming interface with delimiters and programming symbols clearly distinguished from literal text without reference to the definitions of the macros or functions used. I would like no such thing as fragile macros. A well designed SGML-TeX would describe the syntax of its programming language in an SGML DTD, along with an initial set of formatting markups. This would go a long way towards eliminating these problems. Of course, the existing TeX is not going to go away, even if something much nicer comes along, so older documents would not need to be converted to the new syntax. As people move towards keeping documents in SGML form, they will be looking for a good text formatter to use in conjunction with their SGML documents. Although they can process SGML into TeX source, that transformation is a mysterious and fragile process. Someone trained only in SGML will be put off when they try to debug any problems that arise and they will never learn to write new macros. Thus, the power and advantages of TeX will be lost to them. As soon as they can, they will get rid of TeX. I do not expect anyone in the TeX community to make such a radical new version of TeX, and I am not offering to do it. Because of this I think that systems with much less power will continue to dominate, and TeX will fade away. But it doesn't have to be that way. _Greg J.

The following ctan directories are updated tex-archive/macros/latex/base % The core LaTeX sources tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked % The core LaTeX sources, `unpacked' tex-archive/macros/latex/packages/tools % The `tools' `graphics' and tex-archive/macros/latex/packages/graphics% `mfnfss' collections of tex-archive/macros/latex/packages/mfnfss % Standard LaTeX packages. As usual the main features of the new release are documented in the newsletter ltnews04.tex. Two points deserve special mention here: * Unpacking this release should take significantly less time than has been the case for previous LaTeX releases. This is due to a new implementation of the docstrip utility that has been contributed by Marcin Woli\'nski. * When using Computer Modern Fonts in the `T1' (`Cork') encoding, LaTeX will now assume the font names of release 1.2 of the dc fonts which occurred earlier this year. If you still have the old dc fonts then you must unpack the file olddc.ins to produce suitable fd files using the old font names. This is documented in the installation guide, install.txt, but is mentioned here as it differs from previous releases. The test document ltxcheck.tex will report any problems with dc fonts if the LaTeX format does not appear to match the fonts you have installed at your site.

If you were very quick to pick up the release then unfortunately the file ltnews04.tex was missing. It was added `this morning' to all the main ctan hosts. (That is `this morning' here: The first two people to report this file missing were in Australia....) Sorry for any confusion that this caused.
