Beebe" Reply-To: TeX-Euro Distribution List for European TeX Users Message-Id: X-Envelope-To: beebe@MATH.UTAH.EDU I'm forwarding this message on behalf of Ralph Youngen. -- bb -------------------- I am pleased to announce the release of new versions of the three major AMS-supported TeX products. AMS-TeX 2.1, AMSFonts 2.1, and AMS-LaTeX 1.1 have all been posted to our TeX archive on the Internet node e-MATH.ams.com (130.44.1.100), and are now available for immediate retrieval by anonymous FTP. Also available is information (both guidelines and documentstyle files) for authors who may wish to submit something to the AMS in electronic form for publication. This is the first major upgrade to the files on the AMS's e-MATH archive since its inception over a year ago. Announcements of future incremental or major upgrades to any of these products will be posted to the normal TeX discussion lists. The files in this release have also been changed to incorporate a file identification block in the form of a BibTeX-like entry at the start of each TeX or Metafont file. This was a suggestion Nelson Beebe posted to the tex-archive list about a year ago. The AMS staff worked with Nelson over the past several months and settled on the scheme found in these files. We do not necessarily feel that the structure we've chosen is final, and would like to hear comments and/or suggestions for improvements. As in the past, we are suggesting that those of you responsible for maintaining a TeX archive copy the entire /ams tree from e-MATH and set up a corresponding /ams tree on your own archive. Some of the READ.ME files refer to files in other directories using the notation "/ams/...". (We realize that you may not want to copy all of the resolutions of the AMSFonts PK files to your area because of space considerations.) We wish for these files to replace all previous releases of AMS-TeX, AMS-LaTeX, and AMSFonts for as many users as possible. We are especially concerned about the dissemination of AMSFonts 2.1, but strongly encourage users to upgrade AMS-TeX and AMS-LaTeX as well. Details follow. AMSFonts 2.1 (/ams/amsfonts/... and /ams/tfm-files): ==================================================== Sometime after AMSFonts 2.0 was released, it was brought to our attention that there was a bug in the Metafont code for the AMS extra symbol fonts (MSAM and MSBM) that caused different TFM files to be produced when these fonts were run at different resolutions. This has been fixed in 2.1. Another significant enhancement in the MSBM font is much improved character rendering for the Blackboard Bold characters at low resolutions. (Thanks to Stefan Lindner for the Metafont help with the Blackboard Bold characters.) Additionally, through several communications with Knuth we are pleased to release improved versions of the Euler and extra CM fonts. All of the Euler bold fonts have been made more bold and extended. In previous versions of Euler, it was very difficult to distinguish the bold from the non-bold versions of these fonts. Knuth also reviewed the parameter listings for the additional point sizes of the CM fonts that we created and we have incorporated his suggestions into this release. Another change with AMSFonts 2.1 is that we are now distributing more resolutions of PK files. Previously, e-MATH contained only 118 and 300 dpi fonts. We have now posted 118, 180, 240, 300, and 400 dpi fonts to the /ams/amsfonts/pk-files/... area of e-MATH. As before, Metafont sources for all of the AMSFonts are also available. AMS-TeX 2.1 (/ams/amstex): ========================== This is mainly a bug-fix version, with some minor enhancements. A new file, amsppt1.tex, has been added to provide backward compatibility with documents written under amsppt.sty version 1 but run with AMS-TeX 2.0 or later. AMS-LaTeX 1.1 (/ams/amslatex): ============================== Again, this is mainly a bug-fix version with some enhancements. In an effort to keep this area current we are now distributing the complete Mittelbach/Schoepf font selection scheme in the /ams/amslatex/fontsel area. When new versions of these files become available, we will attempt to quickly verify their compatibility with AMS-LaTeX and post them to e-MATH. Please direct any problems or questions concerning the TeX archive on e-MATH to: Technical Support Group American Mathematical Society 201 Charles Street P.O.

Piet van Oostrum had some questions about this: 1) the file german.tex should be the file german.sty. On our machine this is a symbolic link, so we didn't notice the mistake. However, mdoc is TeXed smoothly with german.tex=german.sty(version 2.3d) 2) The source code for the preprocessor is contained in the file mdoctrns.tex (in WEAVEd form, however). The WEB-File itself will not be made available as this program is only a rough outline of what should be done, i.e. the pascal program would not be as functional as you might expect when reading the documentation. At last, my apologies for posting an article in a foreign language to tex-D-l, but it is very hot around here today and I can't convince myself to write this twice, in English and in German.

Beebe" Reply-To: WONNEBERGER REINHAR Message-Id: <2C5A717F50000D4B@CC.UTAH.EDU> X-Envelope-To: beebe@MATH.UTAH.EDU Approaching SGML from TeX Reinhard Wonneberger July 5, 1991 Abstract The present memorandum intends to encourage discussion on a pragmatic TeX approach to SGML. The present edition is a first draft. Comments are welcome. Topic 1 (Active Approach) In this memorandum, I suggest an active approach to SGML to the TeX Implementors Community, i.e. those colleages who actively participate in TeX implementation, adaptation, and development. Topic 2 (Concern) It is my concern that usage of TeX be rooted in the general document processing area, by combining it with an universally accepted standard for source markup. Topic 3 (TeX-based Implementation) Rather than using the official approach of using a parser, or first concern should be to implement a TeX format which is capable to interprete one of the general SGML DTDs. Topic 4 (Backing) This suggestion is based on the assumtion that TeX might be a suited implementation language. It would be one of the objectives of a fist implementation effort to find out how far this assumpion holds. Topic 5 (Benefits) The following benefits are anticipated: 1. Elimination of unneccessary parsing software if not required. 2. Elimination of unneccessary parse processing if not required. 3. Inheritance of TeX portability for SGML documents. 4. Avoiding a split of user worlds between SGML and TeX. Topic 6 (Possible Steps) The project step ahead as follows: 1. Implement interpretation of general DTD. 2. Implement document structure validation. 3. Implement definition syntax of SGMl. Topic 7 (LaTeX) If the first step could be completed successfully, the SGML general DTD might be offered either as the future LaTeX user interface or as an additional one. Copyright R.W.

Where are beziers? Maybe you use a more recent version (mine is numbering 2.7 and I did just check the manual: not even the faintest trace of beziers...). But honestly, the rating isn't that important: personally I am very fond of TeXcad for historical reasons: it was the very first program of its kind I encountered (I was unaware of fig then). OK, if I have you just reading this: do you plan to implement more \specials or even implement tpic? I would be glad to here about your plans.

Is there a program which will extract the patterns? Is there a doc which says how to do that? The TeXbook does not say much about it.

Beebe" Reply-To: TeX-Euro Distribution List for European TeX Users Message-Id: X-Envelope-To: beebe@MATH.UTAH.EDU This is a partial answer to the questions of Jan Labanowski. The Polish hyphenation patterns were prepared in the Institute of Informatics, Warsaw University by Hanna Ko{\l}odziejska in 1977; they were described and quoted in extenso in the IInfUW report no 165: @techreport{Kol87, author = "Hanna Ko{\l}odziejska", title = "Dzielenie wyraz\'ow polskich w systemie {\TeX}", institution = "Instytut Informatyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego", year = 1987, type = "Sprawozdania", number = "nr.~165" } The patterns are freely available. I send them to everybody requesting them; the archive managers may include them in their archives if they wish to. Polish letters are represented by preceding an appropriate latin letter by commercial at @: @c means \'c, @l means \l and @z means \'z while \.z is represented as @r. I you do not have a non-standard font with Polish letters, you do not need to change anything; of course, only the breaks preceding the first accented letters will be found, but you can live with it. If you have special fonts, you have to edit the file or - better - make the commercial at an active character and define it appropriately. The patterns were designed with the old TeX limitations in mind. For TeX 3.x one has to set \lefthyphenmin=2 \righthyphenmin=3 % disallow x- or -xx breaks despite the fact that in principle the correct setting for Polish is \lefthyphenmin=1 \righthyphenmin=2 % allow x- or -xx breaks Using the default TeX 3.x setting is disastrous for the present patterns. By the way, Ko{\l}odziejska is now with MacroSoft, a Polish software house. In Resource Directory 1991 (supplement to TUGboat Vol. 12 No. 2 - not 12 as printed on the cover!)

The purpose of this mail is to announce an incremental posting of new versions of several files in our TeX distribution on e-MATH.ams.com, subsequent to our major upgrades which were posted on July 2. The version numbers for the products themselves will remain unchanged: AMSFonts and AMS-TeX are version 2.1, and AMS-LaTeX is version 1.1. However, the version numbers embedded into any updated files (listed below) have been incremented by adding a letter to the version number. For example, ams/amsfonts/doc/userdoc.tex is at version 2.1a, but ams/amslatex/doc/amslatex.tex is at version 1.1b because it has been updated twice since version 1.1 of AMS-LaTeX was released. Changes to AMSFonts 2.1 are in the documentation only. Changes to AMS-LaTeX 1.1 are in the documentation, as well as a some bug fixes. See the amslatex.bug file for details. Changes to AMS-TeX 2.1 are in the documentation, as well as a few bug fixes. See the amstex.bug file for details. Changed to files in the author-info area are bug fixes which caused TeX errors to occur in previous versions.

While \TeX{} itself is a powerful formatting and communication tool, \TeX{} alone is not the full story. \TeX{} is supported and enhanced by front-ends, font packages, graphics tools, device drivers, and post-processors. The human \TeX{} working environment requires documentation, instruction, and resource materials. And, as with all programs, \TeX{} needs to be viewed in a wider universe of publishing and document management tools in order for those who use and develop \TeX{} to understand its strengths and weaknesses and the directions in which changes are appropriate. The 1992 \TeX{} User Group Conference will focus on the \TeX{} resource environment, on tools used to support \TeX{}, and on comparative understanding of elements of the \TeX{} world among themselves as well as with products outside that world. In addition to the regular paper presentations, there will also be topical workshops, poster sessions, several extended courses, a networking lunch, and ``Birds of a Feather'' sessions. \callforpapers Contributions are now being sought by the Program Committee for inclusion in the 1992 Meeting. Submissions for papers, workshops, and poster sessions may include material on a wide range of topics related to---but not limited to---the areas suggested below. Selection will be based on originality, applicability, utility and interest to the \TeX-using community. As well, a balance of beginner and advanced levels will be sought. \topiclist \topicarea Supporting Tools \topic Front-ends to \TeX{} \topic Incorporation of graphics in \TeX{} documents \topic Fonts for \TeX{} \topic \TeX{} with PostScript \topicarea Resources \topic \TeX{}ware on the networks \topic Universal access to networks and archives \topic Survey of \LaTeX{} style files \topic Local \TeX{} User Group support \topic Education \topicarea \TeX{} within Larger Environments \topic Exporting \TeX{} output to other applications \topic Document exchange and markup \topic Translation between \TeX{} and word-processors \topic \TeX{} as a database publishing tool \topic Document management systems \topic Uses of \TeX{} within the publishing, academic, research, and commercial typography communities \topicarea Comparative Studies \topic \TeX{} implementations on microcomputers \topic Device driver standards \topic Survey of screen previewers \topic The capabilities of desktop publishing software \endtopiclist \deadlines \deadln December 15, 1991: One page proposals submitted via mail, email, or facsimile to the Program Coordinator.

Sunday, 22 Sep 1991. Reposting: Project Gutenberg Update Date: Sun, 22 Sep 91 09:30:32 CDT From: "Michael S. Hart" Subject: Riding the Growth Curve As most of you are aware, Project Gutenberg has been doubling its output every year for twenty years since we first produced a small file with an electronic copy of the Declaration of Independence back in 1971. This year we are releasing much larger files each month, planning on two files a month in 1992, four a month in 1993, etc, until we have produced and released 10,000 titles in our target year of 2001. So far hardware, software and volunteers have all kept pace with our plans, and we are on the right place in our growth curve as planned for the thirty year space between 1971 and 2001. So far our plans for hardware advances meshing with our needs have been right on target. What we didn't plan for was the need for so much administrivia, accounting, legal, etc. Anyone you could send our way in any of these areas would be greatly appreciated. Those of you who have watched the development of Project Gutenberg over the years have been aware that it has basically been paid for out of pocket and operated in a very unofficial manner, without an official relationship with the University of Illinois, or even one with Illinois Benedictine College until a little over a year ago. This year we have already distribed more etexts, and to more users than in our entire previous history. Thus you may also be aware I am not going to be able to continue to keep things running in this manner for much longer. Many of our categories are running as smoothly as possible, a true reflection of the support and planning which has gone into Project Gutenberg over the two previous decades. Etexts are coming in and the present time is undoubtedly the last in which I could ever say I have been directly involved in the creation of half the etext we have posted. From now on, until we can find someone else who will shoulder admistrative responsbilities, I will be more adminstrator than etext producer, a situation I would love to see remedied. In the current batch of etexts we are sending out this year, I have a direct role in only half of them, though of course I have to edit, proofread and send each etext to other editors and proofreaders. I enjoy the creation and distribution of etext much more than this admistrative position, in which I fear sinking without much trace, into the quagmire of legalese and accounting. If anyone adopted a portion of all of Project Gutenberg into an organization that is a present doer of all the legal and accounting stuff, then perhaps I could return to concentrating on the creation and the distribution of etext, as oppposed to. . . . Surely there must be a library, college or corporation out there-- one who could put us under their wing, protect us from the heebie- jeebies, and just let us continue distributing what we hope should be a total of ten thousand titles to one hundred million users for a total of one trillion dollars' worth if we value each at $1. All suggestions are welcome. As some of you are aware the project is taking all my time and energy these days, and I am invited to a conference to speak about Project Gutenberg about every six weeks, which has been fun and worthwhile, and perhaps helped me keep this small grasp on sanity, but nevertheless is a little exhausting and of course the email and work piles up when I am gone. I hope you realize the doubling the output of Project Gutenberg is a growth curve no individual could ride for more than just another year or so, without massive support to stay in the saddle; that is really all I have to do, as support in the creation of etexts, our hardware and software, and all other areas, is doing quite well. For those of you who for whom I have not yet made this clear, both my apologies for not doing so, and also not to worry, as it should become clear in the next few months before our 21st anniversary on March 21, 1992. ----------------------------------------------------- | The trend of library policy is clearly toward | the ideal of making all information available | without delay to all people. | |The Software Toolworks Illustrated Encyclopedia (TM) |(c) 1990 Grolier Electronic Publishing, Inc.

There is a font named Tengwar in ymir.claremont.edu archive, in anonymous.tex.mf.tengwar directory. I think it could be what you are searching for.
