The first occurrent of a \subsection is in the third chapter and when I isolate and compile the chapter by itself, I still receive the error message. Thus, there is obviously something going on at first recognition of a \subsection command. I looked in the chapter for a \\ or a \newline (which I never use), which is recommended for debugging this error, and did not find either. I must say, that I have modified the *style* parameter in @subsection of book.cls with a \centering command, removed it, and this did not prevent the error message from occurring. Previously, I could make a full compile of the book without this message >occurring. Is there something that I could have done to cause this error message? How can I prevent it from occurring.

The READ.ME file that accompanies this release appears below. We call your attention to the second full paragraph of the READ.ME file which discusses the AMS copyright associated with this release. We hope that this explanation will set aside any possible confusion regarding the intent of the AMS copyright with respect to these fonts. Ralph Youngen Director, Electronic Product Development American Mathematical Society -------------------- Computer Modern PostScript Fonts (Adobe Type 1 format) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern fonts produced by and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y. Members of this consortium include: Elsevier Science IBM Corporation Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Springer-Verlag American Mathematical Society (AMS) In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces, has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be given a different name. The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking an installation. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- History The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988 by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial implementations of the TeX program. Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y (Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's changes to the greek delta and arrow characters. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Font Distributions The canonical version of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts is located on the AMS FTP server, e-math.ams.org, at /pub/tex/cmfonts/ps. This area is also mirrored on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) at fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky.

Is there a cls file or a package which enables one to generate a document in which the pages are two columns over the whole document but the contents of the two columns are basically two different source files? I am thinking of, for example, a document and its translation to another language or a document and a running commentry printed alongside and "in step" with each other. The existing multicolumn methods are basically for re-formatting a single continuous whole and I guess could be made to do what I want but it would be tremendously inconvenient keeping things in step.

I would prefer not to have to revert to the plain TeX commands \write and \shipout unless necessary. In particular, I'm writing macros for a problem sheet, and would like to use a format like \begin{question} What is the capital of UK? \end{question} \begin{solution} London \end{solution} \begin{question} What is the capital of Republic of Ireland? \end{question} \begin{solution} Dublin \end{solution} etc. Certain counters are incremented by the question environment, and I'd like to format the solution using these values before moving on the next question, but not print it there. One way to do this would be to get the solution environment within test.tex to write to another file solution.tex or test.sol, and run LaTeX on this automatically produced file; or just to have the solutions written to the auxiliary file, like references, and cite them all at the end of document.

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

I would like them to appear one after another with only a small break between them. The behavior of the array and table environments makes this difficult, however. I need an array-like environment which would split the array across pages as necessary, and would preferably add a note saying "continued" at the bottom and a header labelling the array at the top of each continuation page. The array environment (and table also) insists on putting the entire array on one page. I have manually inserted the end array- begin array commands to break it, but this is tedious and doesn't produce optimal results. I could use tabbing, but would not get the headers or the "continued" notes (except with manual insertion of them). I am using AMSLaTeX, and would be willing to switch to LaTeX or LaTeX2e to solve this. Learning plain TeX or AMSTex to do this would take longer, but if that's what it takes, so be it.

I work on a UNIX system. I have a question. I would like to selectively load a package depending on a parameter that I pass on the command line. This seems to work: \documentclass{article} \iffoo \usepackage{xyzpackage} \fi \begin{document} and then the command line: latex '\newif\iffoo \foofalse \input testfile' will run the file and will cause the package not to be loaded. This is only slightly unaesthetic, since I have to define the switch as well as set it on the command line. A better solution would be to create my own format file containing the switch. However I have been unsuccessful at creating a format built on top of latex2e. (I tried the 'mylatex' method, but it did not work.) Does anyone know how create such a format file, or does anyone know of an obscure switch sitting around in latex that I could 'borrow' (at my own risk!) for this purpose? Or is there another way to implement my scheme?

It is not possible, with \input, to read a bit from one file and then a bit from another, alternately. This is the way things are. It is possible, with \read, to alternate between two (or more) files, but this would have the side-effect of rendering dysfunctional all macros that depend on changing of \catcode's. My advice is to use some external program or utility to weave together the two different source files, and then use this new file as the input to TeX (or LaTeX). He also writes: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The existing multicolumn methods are basically for re-formatting a single continuous whole and I guess could be made to do what I want but it would be tremendously inconvenient keeping things in step. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose that the \input problem has been solved. Forming the two files into two separate galleys should not be very difficult, but deciding on page breaks will be hard. Here is one way to do this. First set each file by itself, at the column measure. Print out the results, and compare. On the basis of this, decide where the page breaks should be. Now use \vadjust or the like to force these page breaks (say in conjunction with \vsplit) in the source file, and use a custom output routine to assemble the pages up. Whatever algorithm one uses, one will probably have to resort to such hand tuning to get a decent result. So let that be the first `algorithm'. I'm sorry that there is probably not a LaTeX package for doing this, so far as I know. It would probably take a wizard to write one. sincerely Jonathan Fine Mailing Address: 203 Coldhams Lane, Cambridge, CB1 3HY Telephone: 01223 215389 ------------------------------ From: Marcus Vinicius Mesquita de Sousa Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 20:29:56 -0300 Subject: Hanging punctuation For TeXperts only!

There must be a lot of TeX users who face the same problems as I and whose productivity would be enhansed if they could be solved efficiently. I was browsing through your Web Site and got to a page on spell checkers, where I found recommendations on spell checkers for people using UNIX, Macintoish,DOS, and even VMS. But I, like 90% of the PC users and most TeXers, use Windows 95. What recommendations do you have for spell checkers that work well in a Windows 95 enviornment. While we are on the topic of programs to use with TeX, what is there for footnotes. I now use a combersome big macro called Eplain, that has it origins in Gnu. I only use the footnote part of that macro. It gives me easy control over footnotes, e.g., I can control the vertical space between sucessive footnotes on the same page. But it always puts a little extra baselineskip just above the last line of each footnote. Six years ago, I spent many hours trying to write my own footnote little macro, by modifying the original TeX instruction for \footnote, but could never get it to run. I use Microsoft Word and its spell checker to prepare ASCII TeX files, but have found no way to get it to avoid leading \ characters. I would actually prefer for a spell checker to recognize and remember lead \ characters so I could detect errors in TeX commands, via-a-via an accumulated dictionary of TeX commands. But Word and most editos do not store \. I would gladly switch to a good quality simple ASCII text editor or another word processor, if I could find one that worked well with a good spell checker. I tried Epsilon and found it to be very cumbersome and inappropriate. It is optimal only for programmers with near repititions of large code sections. It requires far to many key strokes and attention per page to type a TeX file. I would like to be able to control the size and style of font in the edit window of the text editor, so I can take advantage of my 1600X1200-pixel 21-inch monitor. Word does at least that. I use PicTeX alot and am very frustrated that I cannot rotate text so that it can follow a slanted line or a curve. I may have to draw my diagrams in Adobe Illustrator and then use encapulated postscript to insert TeX text along lines or curves. Unfortunately that is a lot of work and requires me to become adept a Adobe Illustrator, which is like getting married. Is there a TeX Cad program that will allow me to draw functions and place labels along the functions. About five years ago, I tried a TeX CAD macro and found it far too primitive. As I recall it came with EM TeX.tug. I downloaded pSTricks and found I could not TeX any of its files. It has @ characters where I am used to seeing \ charaters. The signal not to try to use it came form the note that only the part of the manual pertaining to the latest change was included, and that one need ot get all the manuals of previuous version to have a complete manual. That is a scarry to invite thousands of to search for the same set of manuals instead of one person, who knows far better where they all are, manking them available for downloading. I had a nice talk with the author of TeXDraw and found that macro to be a great package oriented to Unix rather than Windows 95.

Greetings To Tex UK, I have just started to use Tex (in it's standard form) ver 3.141. I am endeavouring to produce fairly complex standard documents(tax forms, governmental forms etc). My question: I am trying to produce fairly exact documents. As a beginner ( and someone who has spent most of my adult life in the world of windows) I find TeX difficult to use. Are there Graphics packages (with a GUI) which produce TeX code? Which ones would you recommend, and how can I get them quickly (help). Our operating system is SUN OS 5.4 generic sun4m. and we currently using TeX 3.141. A second question: We are also trying to run TeX on a Sequent system(DYNIX 4.0 V4.1.2 i386). We are encountering problems compiling the TeX code. Is there a pre-compiled executable available somewhere which runs under this system?

Dear User Group, May I ask a quick question on the availability of a commercial version of LaTeX to run on the workstation I am using.

Following a tip from the UK-TUG FAQ list I have contacted Arbor Text Inc. but they in fact no longer supply the software. Do you have any information on alternatives? or would I be better off buying a modem and downloading the free version?

Supertabular version 4.1a: Two new environments have been added, mpsupertabular and mpsupertabular*. They were provided by Axel Kielhorn . These environemnts are variants of the old supertabular environments that put each tabular segment in its own minipage. This easses the addition of footnotes to a multipage tabular. Fixed a few bugs, one with \\[...] inside \tablehead and \tabletail, the other in the calculation of the available height on the first page of the supertabular. This one affected it's use in twocolumn mode only. Changebar version 3.3c Finally fixed the bug that produced diagonal bars when a changebar was started near the end of a page. Also made changebar work in LaTeX's twocolumn mode, in twocolumn the bars appear on the `outside' of each column (which means to the left of the left column and to the right of the right column). Also fixed a bug in the calculation of the positioning of the bars. If you encounter any problems with these packages please report them to me, using the latexbug.tex mechanism Kind regards, Johannes Braams ------------------------------ From: Aleksei Makarov Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 16:13:05 +0000 ( ) Subject: Q booch diagram typesetting Hi!

This collection includes the Euler, ``extra symbol'' and cyrillic fonts in selected sizes. These fonts, produced by Blue Sky Research, of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, and previously distributed by them, are made available through the cooperation of a consortium of scientific publishers along with Blue Sky and Y&Y. Members of this consortium include: Elsevier Science IBM Corporation Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Springer-Verlag American Mathematical Society (AMS) In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held by the AMS. This is not meant to restrict in any way the legitimate use of the fonts. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in any way. A more detailed statement of these requirements can be found at the AMS Web site, http://www.ams.org/tex/ . The canonical versions of these fonts are located on the AMS FTP server and are also accessible via the Web: ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/psfonts/ams Four system-specific packages are available from the AMS site: for use on Macintosh, containing the fonts in standard Macintosh Type 1 format - packaged as required for use by Textures - packaged for use by OzTeX, CMacTeX, or other Mac TeX implementations for use on a Windows or DOS system, containing fonts in PFB format with PFM metrics files; for use on a Unix system, containing fonts in PFB format with AFM metrics files. Each system-specific package is accompanied by a READ.ME file which contains instructions for downloading and installing the fonts. Please review the appropriate READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking to install the fonts on your system. The fonts in Macintosh and PFB (binary Type 1 outline) formats, along with metrics in appropriate form, will be mirrored on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) in the area fonts/amsfonts/ps-type1 Users requiring the fonts in PFA (ASCII Type 1) form should convert them with the aid of one of the tools available for that purpose from CTAN. The AMS does not provide installation assistance or technical support beyond any installation instructions included with the collection. Installation and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. ------------------------------ From: ralph@pierce.math.hawaii.edu (Ralph Freese) Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 14:27:49 -1000 Subject: Re: release of AMSFonts in PostScript format Great! Thanks!! Ralph One slight glitch in how these fonts are set up on TeXLive2 which may effect how TeXLive3 is set up: We copied the ams pfb files into a new directory under ../texmf/fonts/type1 and changed dvips's map file for the cmps printer to use these rather than the bakoma versions. The glitch is that bokoma had some intermediate sizes the ams didn,t, for example, msbm8. Since mxbm8.tfm exists, the dvi file can have it and then using dvips file.dvi -P cmps -o will fail because there is no msbm8.pfb in the ams map file. Of course this can be solved in several ways like getting rid of msbm8.tfm. What we did was make the file ../texmf/dvips/cmps/config.cmps be p +amsbkm.map p +cmbkm.map p +cmps.map p +amsps.map (amsps.map is the ams's map file.) In this case the ps file generated will have the fonts like MSBM10 (from the ams) and msbm8 (from bakoma). ------------------------------ From: ralph@pierce.math.hawaii.edu (Ralph Freese) Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 13:30:33 -1000 Subject: Re: release of AMSFonts in PostScript format Thanks. That's certainly the answer. The unix distribution of the amspsfonts didn't mention this but it is in the documentation for the amsfonts. But one more glitch: using this from unix gives ! LaTeX Error: File `OMXcmex.fd' not found. As I know you know, this is because LaTeX has changed to all lower case for these files. For now I'll link OMXcmex.fp to omxcmes.fd, but the AMS will have to upgrade its amsfonts.sty file.

These files are also available as ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/web2c.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/web.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/texmflib.tar.gz Soon these files will also be available on CTAN sites and their mirrors.

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

In addition to adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk, we have done error corrections and added new features, such as: - - the hyphenations found in the .dvi-file can be displayed after a TeX run (for this we have written a program hyphen_show.c); - - we also realized key bindings, - - and we modified the print menu (page selection is now controlled for the existence of the selected page numbers in the document). As usual you can get all material (including the source code of Tcl/Tk/TclX we used) from our ftp server: ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem/xtem_texmenu.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/*.tar.gz or http://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenu.html The final release took a little bit more time than intended by us originally (vacancies, installation, and -- last but not least -- we had hard to work to program around some incompatibilities between Tcl8.0 and Tcl7.6). We have plans for more features, we will discuss them in a few days in our xtem discussion list, for which you can subscribe with an e-mail to majordomo@iwd.uni-bremen.de with "body" subscribe xtem-list end Regards, Roland Weibezahn - -- Dr. Roland Weibezahn weibezahn@iwd.uni-bremen.de phone: +49-421-218-3532 University Bremen, IWD, post-box: 330440, 28334 Bremen, Germany http://www.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenu.html (the xtem_TeXMenu project) ------------------------------ From: P Taylor Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 11:26:18 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Harvard Refs? >Hi, I'm hoping that you can offer advice to me. I have been using Bibtex C Version 0.99c to obtain standard numerical referencing in the past in conjunction with LaTeX Version 2.09 (14 Jan 1992). However, I am just starting to write up my PhD thesis in Civil Engineering using LaTeX2e (1995/06/01) patch level 3 because I wish to use the harvard reference system in conjunction with Bibtex C Version 0.99c. From text books I have managed to learn that I will need the harvard.sty file written by P Williams and T Schnier. I have obtained this using ftp however I cannot find out what commands are needed or where they are needed to get anything working. I would be very grateful if you could send me the infomation I require or refer me to a text containing the infomation. Whilst I'm fairly computer literate I'm no whizz kid (my PhD is in Soil Mechanics!) so I'd appreciate it if I only new the basics just to get the thing working. Yours sincerely Paul Taylor. ------------------------------ From: Werenfried Spit Date: Thu, 27 Nov 1997 15:07:29 +0100 Subject: Harvard Refs? (A) There used to be a user manual with harvard.sty.
