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.

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.

Berry" Date: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 15:40:59 -0500 (EST) Subject: modes 3.3 available I have released version 3.3 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/modes.mf and shortly from any CTAN site in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.3.mf. finger ctan@tug.org for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors. News: New mode for the LaserJet 5, various alias name and dpi corrections. As always, thanks to the many contributors, and further additions and improvements are welcome. Please send bug reports or suggestions to tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join). General information: modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c) or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I don't understand 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 (406dpi) mode_def agfatfzz = % AGFA P3400PS (400dpi)

------------------------------ From: myers@umich.edu Date: Sat Jan 24 14:52:40 EST 1998 Subject: TeXsis 2.17 is now available TeXsis Version 2.17 Released ============================== The latest version the TeXsis macro package is now available, either from CTAN:/macros/texsis or directly from the TeXsis ftp site at ftp://lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu/texsis/. TeXsis is a Plain TeX macro package which provides useful features for typesetting research papers and related documents, such as: * Automatic numbering of equations, figures, tables and references; * Simplified control of type sizes, line spacing, footnotes, running headlines and footlines, and tables of contents, figures and tables; * Specialized document formats for research papers, preprints and "e-prints," conference proceedings, theses, books, referee reports, letters, and memoranda; * Simplified means of constructing an index for a book or thesis; * Easy to use double column formatting; * Specialized environments for lists, theorems and proofs, centered or non-justified text, and listing computer code; * Specialized macros for easily constructing ruled tables; TeXsis was originally developed for physicists, but others may also find it useful. It is completely compatible with Plain TeX. --- The most notable changes or additions to TeXsis in this version are: * All bug fixes from patches to TeXsis 2.16 are included in TeXsis 2.17 (they were all pretty minor). * Support for using BibTeX to extract references from bibliographic databases (it's easier to use than in LaTeX!). * The ability to change the colors in PostScript output, which is useful for making overhead transparencies. (The style file color.txs is a functional superset of colordvi.sty, but also lets you push/pop the PostScript color stack.) * The less used form letter macros have been moved to a style file, Formletr.txs. * It is now possible to print an envelope for a letter, simply by adding \withEnvelope to the beginning of the manuscript file. * The internal format of the .aux file has been changed. Users shouldn't notice this, but it will allow the use of tools and packages that use this file (such as BibTeX) that were formerly only available in LaTeX. * The manual has been improved. The installation instructions have been slightly updated. The Makefile has been updated to match the now common TeX Directory Structure. * Many other small additions and improvements. Those of you who have been using the beta version of 2.17 in the past few months will find little changed, except that the manual has recently been updated to match earlier changes to the source code. We plan on introducing macros for hyperTeX in a later release, although some support already exists (but is not yet documented). --- To make it easier for the casual reader of electronic preprints ("e-prints") to print a TeXsis document we have also put all of the core TeXsis macros into one source file (called mtexsis.tex), with all the comments and blank lines removed. A reader who does not have TeXsis on her/his system can then simply get this file, add "\input mtexsis" to the manuscript file, and then process the paper with Plain TeX. You can make your own e-print manuscript files automatically load mtexsis.tex if it is needed by adding the following line at the beginning of the manuscript file: \ifx\undefined\TeXsis \input mtexsis.tex\fi It is suggested that you try running such a manuscript through Plain TeX with mtexsis.tex first to make sure that it works. --- As always, comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcomed, and can be sent to us at: texsis@lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu. If you would like to join the TeXsis mailing list, just drop us an e-mail note to that effect at the same address. If you received this message via the mailing list but do not want to be on the list then just send us a note and we will take you off. We only maintain the list to send out notices about TeXsis, we don't give the list out to anybody else.

Dear Colleague -- A final reminder that the Call for Papers for TUG'98 closes this week. Papers received after 30th January are very unlikely to be considered, so I urge anyone considering offering a paper or poster session to communicate with the Programme Committee with maximum urgency. The 1998 TeX User Group conference, TUG'98 will take place in Torun, Poland, between 17th and 21st August 1998. The theme of the conference is "Integrating TeX with the Surrounding World", and papers which specifically address that theme will be most welcome, although papers on any topic which is relevant to TeX, typography, and/or electronic publishing will be considered. If you are considering proposing a paper or offering a poster session, please be aware that the last date for receipt of proposals is 30th January 1998. Further details are available from the TUG'98 web pages: http://www.tug.org/tug-98/ (general information) http://www.tug.org/tug-98/call.html (call for papers) If for any reason the TUG server is down, the same documents can be found at: http://www.rhbnc.ac.uk/tug-98/ (general information) http://www.rhbnc.ac.uk/tug-98/call.html (call for papers) Philip Taylor, Chairman: TUG'98 Programme Committee P.S. Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message: it is being sent to all known TeX-related lists, and many of you may well be members of more than one such list. ------------------------------ About TeXhax...

What is true is that the construction will expand to a token of category 13, whose expansion (in this expansion step) is suppressed. But \ifcat does not only test for the category of character tokens, as you clearly know. You wrote \ifcat \bgroup\noexpand\next \bgroup is a command token and as such has no category. However it is \let to a character token, and in the case of a command being so let \ifcat tests the category of the implicit token. This also applies to active characters. a ~ that is \let to a 0 is the same as \xxx that is let to a 0 they will both be \ifcat (and \if) equal to 0. so \ifcat\noexpand~\noexpand\next \message{13}\fi \ifcat 0\noexpand\next \message{12}\fi are both testing the same thing, so both are true. You can distinguish between them with \ifx if you want. The last case is similar if you \let~\bgroup then \ifcat\noexpand~\noexpand\next \message{13}\fi \ifcat \bgroup\noexpand\next \message{ 1}\fi are the same thing, as in each case the first non expandable token after the \ifcat is \let equal to a { and so \next is tested against the category of the implicit { token.

Character tokens have a category, and active characters have category 13. This is not how \ifcat works. It expands until it gets two unexpandables, and then looks that the meanings of the unexpandables. If both are, say, > alignment tab character ? where ? need not be the same in both cases, the \ifcat is true. All clear so far? Now let's look at \noexpand. If a token is expandable (a macro, an \if command, \the, and some others listed in Chapter 20 of the TeXbook) then the \noexpand promotes that instance of the to \relax. But if it is not expandable, then the \noexpand has no effect. Exercise: What happens when you type a) \expandafter \show \noexpand & b) \expandafter \show \noexpand \relax c) \expandafter \show \noexpand \ifcase d) \expandafter \show \noexpand \temp e) \expandafter \show \noexpand ~ Once you have mastered this, all should be clear. (The answer to (d) and (e) will depend on the current meaning of \temp and |~|, of course.)

The body of the catalogue has a 3-column design (courtesy of multicol), mostly using a 7-point font. I want the front matter to be more friendly, with more white space. So I want to do it in a single column, in a 10-point font. For consistency between the front matter and the body ("the same grid") - -- and to keep to readability conventions which limit the number of characters per line -- I want the single column in the front matter to align with the outer two columns in the body. I tried approaching this by saying that, within the 10 pages or so of front matter, I want: * \oddsidemargin to be temporarily bigger than it is in the rest of the catalogue * \textwidth (or \linewidth?) to be temporarily smaller than it is in the rest of the catalogue. The LaTeX book (page 181) says that anomalies may occur if one tries to change such things in the middle of a document. So it isn't surprising that this approach gave unwanted side-effects. (My page footer got shifted sideways.) I got the visual effect I wanted by fiddling with \hspace and minipage, so that each page in the front matter contained a minipage (whose width equalled that of the outer two columns in the body), with the minipages on odd-numbered pages pushed outwards with \hspace. But this gives maintenanace problems. (If the text changes next year, I'll have to re-do the manual fiddling.) Can anyone suggest a satisfactory way of getting a few consecutive pages with: * a larger inner margin than the rest of the publication * a correspondingly narrower text-width than the rest of the publication.

It's a bit difficult to know what to say: there are lots of mf files at CTAN. DVI drivers need *something* to print with: pk files are one sort of file that's useful. Some dvi drivers can also use Postscript Type 1 and TrueType founts directly.

[snip] It sounds like you're trying to use non-Metafont founts with TeX (normally PS Type 1 founts). There are lots of files at CTAN to allow you to use PS Type 1 founts with TeX, but in most cases the founts concerned are commercial products which you have to buy from a firm that sells founts. You might find it useful to ask this question on comp.text.tex. Rowland. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 17:43:00 +0200 From: Rosa Maria Gomez Flores Subject: .pk files?

I'm trying MetaFont, I work on Windows NT, I have WinZip and the file mf.zip from GTEX in the CTAN. When I expand the zip file, I get some files and directories (the mf.exe says: "This is METAFONT, Version 2.718 (gTeX distribution 2.2)", and prompt: **). In the mfbase directory, there are to MSDOS-macros, cm.bat and plain.bat, to create the base files. But when I try them, give me the error: ! I can't read mf.pool. And that it because I have only a "mf.poo" file, but when I rename or copy it into mf.pool, they still give me the same error. It is the same if I copy it in the directory of the file mf.exe. Does anyone of you know how to get the base files, or the .pool file or another MetaFont version that run under MS-DOS or Windows NT? Please, please, tell me any idea that could help me to begin!

Only 2 things bug me, and I'm sure they are both easily fixed. I would like to print double-sided, so that when you look "though" the sheet the edges of the text are aligned on either side. I don't mind if this is achieved by centering both sides exactly in the middle, or by shifting each side in the "same" direction (this is the preferable solution for me). No matter how much I fiddle (as I say, I've been trying to do this for many many months) I can't seem to manage to do it. The printer I have is an HP550c, and as the HP5xx printers are at least reasonably popular I'm hoping that someone else in the world has tried to do the same as me. I've searched the Internet and Usenet loads of times, and am resorting to making my first post to this group. Can anyone help ? I would have thought that this kind of alignment would be the default, but it has been like this since I installed... I'm also a little confused by the load of packages that claim to be the best at fixing margins. Which is the current leader ? And the second problem. I have lots of packages I load for each document ; graphicx,epsfig,fancyhdr,amsfonts,amssymb,amsmath,amstext, wrapfig,ifthen,fancybox,varioref,caption2,ulem,placeins Is this normal ? Is it possible to create a new format file containing all these adjustments ? I've tried mylatex, but it seems very much like a "kludge" and I *always* run out of memory after maybe 5 pages and 2 or 3 figures/tables when using mylatex making it impossible to use for most of my work.

Hi. I want to use MetaFONT to produce a greyed-out logo to use as a watermark: the sort of illustration which appears throught The METAFONTbook, particularly in Chapter 4: Pens, gives great cause for hope. Appendix H remarks that the illustrations in the book were produced with GFtoDVI. I can generate whatever hardcopy proofs I want using MF and GFtoDVI but I can't see how to produce a TeX document which includes grayed-out shapes. Fiddling around with scissors and glue seems too un-Knuthian to be plausible. If I understand how .dvi works, the gray font characters used by GFtoDVI have already been placed in a particular point on each page. This conflicts with the idea of a document independently placing an illustration on a page. I've obviously missed something. I would be pleased if someone could offer some guidance.

This is their bibliography entry style: Ager, D. D. and Dewey, W.C., 1990, Calibration of pulsed field gel electrophoresis...... {\em International Journal of Radiation Biology}, 58, 249-259. What I can currently achieve using the named.bst (from the harvard family) is: [Ager and Dewey, 1990] D.D. Ager and W.C. Dewey. Title. {\em Journal}, 58, 249-259. When the reference is called in the text, it nicely come as [Ager and Dewey 1990] or, if the authors are more than two, as [Ager {\em et al.} 1990] which works fine. It also does 1990a and 1990b if Ager and Dewey wrote two papers that year. As I am not a great expert of bibliography styles, I ask you if there is any style which satisfies the requirements of IJRB above or what should I do to change named.bst in that direction. thanks in advance, Massimo - ----------------------------------------------------- Chi addimanna nun fa errore Quando sei indeciso, meglio chiedere If you are not sure, you'd better ask - ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of TeXhax Digest V1999 #1 ***************************** About TeXhax...

Tables also have to be put at the end of the journal, all together, but they are printed with their caption. One way to produce such a format from the one in which the paper will appear is to move all the figures to the end, same for the tables, and move captions accordingly.

Version 22 of xdvi makes the following changes from version 21: o Support for Motif. o Support for displays with more than one visual, and a -noinstall command line option to disable it. o Support for installing a private colormap (-install command line option). o Configuration via a script generated by a modified GNU autoconf. o An option to select the "x11alpha" driver when using Ghostscript to display PostScript specials. o Dimension arguments may now be given in terms of any of the TeX units (pt, pc, in, bp, cm, mm, dd, cc, or sp). o XDVISIZES values may now be of the form m0, m0.5, etc., signifying magsteps. o Handle rotated bounding boxes correctly when not showing PostScript. o Allow the shrink factor to be automatically selected on the command line. o Change -hushspecials to -warnspecials, and suppress warnings about undefined specials by default. A more detailed list of the changes is available at the xdvi web page, http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html There is also a version of xdvi, called xdvik, that incorporates Karl Berry's kpathsea library for path searching. In addition, xdvik supports hypertex support and support for Omega. Version numbers of xdvik track those of xdvi, and version 22 of xdvik is now also available.

LaTeX2e and MS-products. Dear collegues, a hot topic now. I do research in a place where people around me prefer to use Microsoft Word and things related to it. I have been a LaTeX user for several years and have many reasons to stick with it. Nevertheless, my boss would like me to have my papers and eventually my Ph.D. thesis in a format that a Microsoft user can read, not just a nice printed copy of my work. It is not just the final version, when we write something together or whenever he makes corrections to my writings we need to exchange files in a "friendly way". I use the MiKTeX distribution (LaTeX2e) together with WinEdt on a W95 based computer. My question now is: What can I do to fulfil the above requirement? I have tried TeX to RTF but my understanding is that it does not do much for LaTeX2e commands, I have also tried to see whether TeXtoHTML would work but I have the impression that this package is conceived for UNIX.

It is the best way to convert any graphics formats to EPS before inclusion: this is exact and most conservative, while permitting a clean handling of ASCII data. Unless there are special needs due to printer drivers which have their own (hardware-specific) way to deal with a restricted collection of image formats, the EPS as canonical format is optimal. A previewer which is clever and useful is able to show a TIFF, JPEG or whatever bitmap file which is stored under the same name like the EPS. Scalable previews (for vector images of course) are only possible in WMF format, which moreover cannot be separated from the EPSF (thus becoming a binary file). > Does anyone know of any packages that allow me to use raw > JPEG/GIF/TIF files within LaTeX documents? Use jpeg2ps from Thomas Merz to include a JPEG unchanged (no decompression & re-compression) into a PS level 2 EPS. Imagemagic can deal with TIFF but this is indeed quite inefficent since it doesn't provide the PS level 2 compressors LZW nor CCITT. EPS files are not per se much bigger than the most compact bitmaps but this depends crucial on the software used. Rather a typical B/W EPS is around half the size of the identical GIF at high res. > Any help gratefully received.

My .aux and .bbl files are in the same directory as my .tex file is, and when I run LaTeX od PDFTeX my document comes out fine. I think it is something that I am missing with TtH.

The group is very grateful to the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences of the University of Sussex at Brighton, for hosting this `temporary' service for four years! Now, at last, the group is pleased to announce that a `final' home for the FAQ has been established, in association with the CTAN node at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes The sources, and readily-printable copies, of the FAQ remain on CTAN in directory usergrps/uktug/faq At present the interactive FAQ offers exactly the same facilities as it always has, but there are plans to develop new facilities to further enhance the FAQ's utility. The FAQ is under constant development, and in particular a new printed version is in preparation. The UK TeX Users' Group would very much welcome contributions at this time. Comments, suggestions and error reports concerning the FAQ should be addressed to the current maintainer, via uktug-faq@tex.ac.uk ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 14:39:42 +0100 From: Robin Fairbairns Subject: New nonfree/ hierarchy on CTAN The CTAN team have been concerned, for some time, about the copyright status of the material held on the CTAN archives. In the course of preparation of the latest TeX Live disc, Sebastian Rahtz compiled a list of the licence status of many available packages, and it is the CTAN team's intention to extend that list to as full coverage of the archive holdings as is possible. In parallel with this work, we have instituted a new hierarchy on CTAN, called nonfree/; it is our intention to move all items, for which there are significant distribution restrictions, to that hierarchy. STRUCTURE The nonfree hierarchy mimics the structure of the main part of CTAN; there are (or may in the future be) sub-hierarchies nonfree/biblio, /fonts, /graphics, /indexing, /language, /support, /systems and /web For each entry in the non-free hierarchy, there is a corresponding entry in the main part of CTAN, which is a symbolic link to the nonfree/ hierarchy. Since CTAN does not index symbolic links, the only appearance that a non-free item makes in the FILES.* files is its instance on the nonfree/ hierarchy. The `quote site index' command uses FILES.byname, so that it will always tell you if the item you're seeking is not free. CRITERIA Licensing conditions that CTAN currently recognises are listed in http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.html In the terms defined therein, the nonfree/ tree will hold items whose licensing is unknown, nocommercial, nosell, shareware, or other. Notes: 1. CTAN cannot hold matter whose distribution is restricted, anyway: the archive has no control over what its mirrors might do. This is why there is no category `nodistribute'. 2. The `nonfree' licensing category nosource _does_ stay in the main CTAN tree; there are usable items on CTAN whose source is not publicly available, but which are nevertheless freely usable and distributable by all and sundry. 3. We need to treat unknown licenses as nonfree, because of the legal situation in many countries that one is obliged to assume that an author would not wish his/her propertty to be treated as if it were in the public domain. We have, as yet, moved nothing of category unknown to the nonfree/ hierarchy; we will be doing that job later in the year. THE FUTURE The CTAN team are slowly moving items to the nonfree/ hierarchy. This process may be expected to accelerate during the course of this year; in particular, one may expect items of category unknown to be moved starting next month (June 1999). If *you* are an author who has not responded to an enquiry about the status of your stuff on CTAN, we urge you to release a new version which makes its licensing status clear, and to upload that version to CTAN in the usual way (see README.uploads on any CTAN site). Don't forget to mail ctan@urz.uni-heidelberg.de -- uploads don't get acted upon without such a message. If you don't do this, and we don't otherwise deduce the status of your stuff, it is liable to be moved to the nonfree/ hierarchy, and to disappear from future CD distirbutions of TeX. OTHER INFORMATION While CTAN is _not_ enforcing an open-source policy, we recommend sites such as http://www.opensource.org/osd.html for discussion of the issues behind software licensing. ------------------------------ End of TeXhax Digest V1999 #6 ***************************** About TeXhax...

The files are bundled into either psibycus.tgz or psibycus.zip, to suit the convenience of both the elect and the infidel. This is a preliminary release, because the font is still largely unhinted. I will ultimately provide a rather thorough set of hints, since the primary purpose for making up this font was to get away from the crude bitmap scaling that is all you can get out of PDF readers. Hinting, however, is even worse than filing matrices. It is a soul-destroying bore, and I cannot do very much of it at any given session. The absence of hints will not be noticed at resolutions of 600dpi and above. The font has a private UniqueID in the open range for now, but a registered UniqueID will be applied for. The original METAFONT realization of ibycus4 remains the controlling form of the font. The TeX user will see absolutely no difference in the set-widths of the Type1 font because the TFM file for it is exactly the same as the TFM file for the METAFONT version. (In a Unix environment, they could be joined by hard or symbolic links.) The Type1 control points have been derived from METAFONT log output generated by "tracingspecs". This is not impossible, as has sometimes been claimed, but it does take work. The bundle consists of: 1. IbycusHTG-Regular.pfa ( = fibr.pfa = IBYHTGR_.PFB ). The character designs are Silvio Levi's. Some small differences in accent positioning and vertical positioning on the classic METAFONT typeface grid have been allowed. My own lowercase lunate sigma has been improved. These changes will ultimately be read back into the ibycus4 METAFONT source. 2. fibr.tfm (identical with fibr84.tfm). The use of the Type1 font is specified by calling on fibr, rather than fibr84. Obliqued and bold versions of the font are still exclusively METAFONT. They will continue to be invoked as fibo84[89]? and fibb84[89]? until I make up Type1 versions of them (if I ever do). 3. fibr.vf, which serves to provide a reference into a dvips map file. The raw TFM for this VF file is fibr84.tfm, which has the interesting effect of making METAFONT generated PK files a fail-safe alternative when the dvips map lookup fails. The checksums for fibr.tfm fibr84.tfm and fibr.vf are identical. This is arbitrary, since fibr.vf has integer escapement values rounded from the METAFONT values in the tfm files. 4. config.iby and iby.map.

Gouvea" Subject: inverse limit symbol I've been trying to make an "inverse limit" symbol. This should be a usual lim, with a left-pointing arrow under it, and it should be a "math operator with limits", that is, one should be able to write something like \ilim_n and get lim <-- n with, of course, the right spacing and so on. I've been trying to build on LaTeX with the AMS macros to do this. So far, my attempts have come out pretty bad. The first was \DeclareMathOperator*{\ilim}{\underleftarrow{\mathrm{lim}}} which puts the arrow far too close to the "lim". Plus, the arrow doesn't come out straight! Then I tried something like this: \newcommand{\ilim}[1]{% \displaystyle{% \lim_{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{\longleftarrow}{\scriptstyle #1}} }\;} which sort of does it by brute force (and requires the "wrong" syntax \ilim{n}, but I can live with that). The arrow doesn't look right, however: it seems to be broken in the middle. Before I spend more time on this, I thought I'd check... perhaps someone out there has already solved it.

The checksums for fibr.tfm fibr84.tfm and fibr.vf are identical. This is arbitrary, since fibr.vf has integer escapement values rounded from the METAFONT values in the tfm files. 4. config.iby and iby.map.

[none] TUGboat 20(2) shipped to printer this date ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 21:59:58 -0700 From: mackay@cs.washington.edu (Pierre MacKay) Subject: "root kit" invasion of servers. During the past two weeks, we have learned of a cascade of assaults on Unix server systems, especially Solaris systems, by the consortium of brilliant programmers in the "root kit" enterprise. There is no way to avoid the suggestion that SUN Microsystems ought to have been sharper about their vulnerability. Most of us knew about "root kit" at least a year ago. This message, however, is aimed not at at at the feckless quality managers at SUN, but at the self-righteous programmers who support "root kit". You guys are brilliant. Compared with the hackers who attack MicroSlush systems, you belong in another realm altogether. But you have never thought through the implications of what you are doing. My little FTP site has no commercial effect whatsoever, but I cannot keep it open as a Trojan horse access to the equally public-spirited network through which it used to communicate. You claim that you intend to shut down voracious corporate networks by making it too risky to keep them open. What you have achieved, at least in my case, is the termination of a service which was offered absolutely freely to all users. Because you have made network access to the software which I was delighted to offer freely to all users a way of destroying the entire network system, I can no longer offer that access. You claim that your activities are inspired by the highest moral standards. Maybe they are, but I would like to hear from you just what those standards are. You have made it impossible for me to distribute free software, and it looks as if you will manage to shut off more than half the remaining distributions of free software. The top echelons of the software industry will not be affected at all. They knew you were there, and they could afford to defend themselves against against you. We can't afford it, and because of your activities, we can't even go on distributing the free software we formerly offered. IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU INTENDED? It is virtually certain that one of the "root kit" team will read this message. You know better than anyone else how to disguise the origin of a mail message. I would like to hear from one of you just why you think the termination of the growing habit of free distribution of Unix software is a crime that you are willing to suppress with all the energy you can muster. - -- Email: mackay@cs.washington.edu Pierre A.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -------- ------4200FFD12F19FC6621DD5D1B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Everybody, I am using "\usepackage{times}" within a document in order to use outline fonts. But, the fonts used in math mode are not affected by this and are still included as bitmap fonts. So, here is my question: What is the "cheapest" way to use outline fonts in math mode? I tried the following, which works in principle: \SetSymbolFont{operators}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{n} \SetSymbolFont{operators}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{n} \SetSymbolFont{letters}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{it} \SetSymbolFont{letters}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{it} But unfortunately, I don't know which font to specify for the symbols: \SetSymbolFont{symbols}{...}{...}{...}{...}{...} how could the above line look like? Another problem is that the character mapping is somewhat different, i.e. I get "," (in my document) mapped to ";" (in the print-out). So, what is the correct way to typeset math in lets say times italic? Can anybody help me, please? Thanks in advance!

The medline `entry' comes with a lot of useful fields, such as full abstract and notes, keywords etc, good to keep in your own database for future search. The thing is that, although useful, I don't want the `Note' category to appear in the bbl file, for example because the full author's address is there and I don't need it in my list of references.. Do I set this manually in the bib file (I have tried putting an asterisk `note*' in it but without success) or is it a bibliography style issue?

This is fine, but causes a problem under some circumstan= ces: The title of a chapter of my document contains the german word "Ma=DFe" (which means something like "measurement"). Since the german sharp s "=DF= " is not available in uppercase, LaTeX maps it to "ss". This would be O.K. in principle,but the result is the word "Masse" which has a completely different meaning (it means "mass"). This is not acceptable! I solution I could live with would be to print the sharp s "=DF" as it is= , even it would be a single lowercase letter in between uppercase letters. How can I achieve this? (It is not sufficient to type \textrm{\3}!) Does anybody has an idea ? Thanks in advance!

The software we use access a database to pull a list of names and address to print labels, when we print the resulting output produced for 11,000 labels reaches 317mb BUT if we performed the same task from Word and a Visual Basic app the resulting spool file is only 13mb for the same number of files. The vendors has said its how LaTex works and there is nothing that can be done but I can not accept that as an answer. If this is true then we will have to skip using LaTex and write our own code. Could this be a bug that was fixed? The vendor has not told us what version there using but I found this string in one of the log files.

I cannot find the solution to this problem anywhere on the web. I'm trying to write a two-column article using LaTeX2e and I'm having trouble outputting two things within the article: a title that spans both columns, and a full page figure (that also, obviously, spans both columns). For the figure, I tried inserting the /onecolumn command just before my figure but the previous page breaks at an awkward spot. I know the /afterpage package doesn't work in the two-column mode. Is there anything else I can do? As for the title that spans two columns, I am clueless. Thanks in advance for any help that is offered or for any nudge in the right direction.

Everything was going well, except that I could not view dvi file inside Texshell (I could run Tex succesfully) as well as inside Winedt. 1) After running Tex, I click into Preview icon, windvi opened and closed immediately, although Windvi can run well independently (means outside Texshell or Winedt). Looked at Programs Call, everything fixed well. 2) Inside Winedt, after runing tex successfully, I clicked into the "Dvi Preview" line in the Accessories menu, nothing happended. Then I clicked "Dvi Search", it said that the program "yap.exe" could not be found. I went into the files Winedt.ini in the Winedt directory and changed the lines contating those programs. Namely, I changed "yap.exe "into "windvi.exe" and "YAP" into "WINDVI". Then, running Winedt again, but Dvi Preview still did not work. This time, when I clicked into "Dvi Search", the error line did not appear, but Windvi opened and closed immediately ( it looked as the same problem as Texshell). I do not know how to solve this. Could you please be so kind to help me to correct this problem? If anything is still not clear, please let me explain more. Thank you very much in advance. Yours respectively, N. Tu ---------- Message: 6 Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 21:37:49 +0100 From: "Max Schäfer" To: texhax@tex.ac.uk Subject: Text, pictures, floating and stuff like that Hi folks! I'm using pdfTeX with MiKTeX under Win32, but I think my problem ain't pdf-specific. One smallish remark ahead: Maybe this problem isn't such a problem at all, just a typical, foolish newbie-question, maybe it has been around on this mailing list a couple of times already, but perhaps even you TeX-gurus remember the time when you were new to TeX, so, could you please reply nevertheless? ThanX ;-) OK, here we go: I'm trying to format text in three columns (in landscape, but that's the smallest problem) and to put in a picture at a fixed position. Now I want my text to float around that picture, which means that the first column has to be slimmed down in its middle, the middle column has to be interrupted and the right column has to be indented. Perhaps this explanation isn't too clear, so I'll try to include a rough ASCII-draft ('T' representing text, 'P' representing picture) of how it should look like: TTT TTT TTT TTPPPPPPPTT TTPPPPPPPTT TTT TTT TTT First, I considered using \parshape, but besides that I couldn't persuade it to leave some lines blank (in the middle column), the alignment of the right- resp. left-indented columns was awful, some words even sticked out into the picture. So I dropped that idea (and also dropped multicol, which I was using, too) and began fiddling around with the \output-routine. My idea was to make TeX believe it was writing to a set of relatively small pages and thus letting it perform pagebreaks according to this imagination, then save those small pages to boxes and finally putting them together to a real page. The individual sub-pages would have been: +---+---+---+ |TTT|TTT|TTT| +---+---+---+ +--+ +--+ |TT| |TT| |TT| |TT| +--+ +--+ +---+---+---+ |TTT|TTT|TTT| +---+---+---+ Now you all surely have begun to feel pity with me (I hope :-) because you already know what pitfall I dropped into. Well, I _knew_ that I couldn't just change the pagesize inside the output routine and hope it would fit. I had read in the TeXbook that, to make these changes take effect, I had to unpack \box255 and put it back onto the vertical list. I also found a macro there, which claimed to do the box-unpacking, but I failed to make it work :-( Now, do you think I'm heading in a completely wrong direction? Is there any simpler solution? Please tell me if you know one! But if there isn't, would anybody be so kind to give me at least a sketch of an \output-macro, that, after setting the pagesize, does unpacking and pushing back? That would be really great! -- Max PS: You know, it is kind of urgent and if I can't find a solution soon, I'll perhaps have to use some WYSIWYG-tool ... urghhh =:-() ---------- Message: 7 From: "Paul Langdon" To: TeXhax@tex.ac.uk Subject: gif/bmp/jpeg files for LaTeX Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 16:12:46 GMT Hi LaTeX gurus, Can a GIF/BMP or JPEG file be incorporated into a LaTeX document much like an EPS or eepic file generated via xfig could be inserted in \begin{figure} \psfig{figure=file.eps,width=...,height=...} It's easy to do this under Word, Adobe, etc but I wonder if there is an equivalent for using file.gif, file.bmp, file.jpg in LaTeX ...

Using wrapfig to span multiple columns ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wrapfig can't automatically make matching cutouts in adjacent columns because it doesn't know which text will land in just the right place in the column next-door. It certainly can't handle floating in such situations! Here are some methods for doing such layout "by hand". They are practical for one or a few such figures where you can tweak the layout for the final copy. It is too painful to do this for long or frequently-revised documents. If you do have multiple fiddling, fix the first one in each chapter (or after any forced page break), rerun, then fix the second, etc. (These examples use calc.sty to evaluate overhangs in place.)

(This first step is used for all methods described here.) Then change to ~~~~~~~~X \begin{wrapfigure}[6]{r}[.5\width+.5\columnsep]{6cm} ... \end{wrapfigure} ~~~~.... and run LaTeX again. This will print the figure overlapping the right column, but no matter. Use this run to locate position "Y" in the text.

The KOMA-Script package contains a scr-letter class that does this nicely, including use of address data banks for serial letters. Compared to the label solution this saves a lot of hassle, prevents a letter from being baged into an envelope with the wrong label (I have recieved those!) and gives a much more professional looking result. > Subject: Help Windvi > WinEdt is set up by its author to work with MikTeX (and its DVI viewer YAP), and it does so quite flawlessly, as I can attest from constant use. So if you have a good Web access, I would suggest you download MikTeX from your friendly neighbourhood CTAN server and use that. I am sure that there is a way to set everything up with other TeX distributions, but I have never done it. > Subject: gif/bmp/jpeg files for LaTeX > This depends on the DVI driver you are using. I have used JPEG pictures with dvipdfm, which creates PDF-files from DVI. As I use TeX to create student manuals for publication on the net, this is ideal for me. If you want to go this route, you have to convert any EPS files you may still have left into PDF first (as dvipdfm can not use EPS). This can be achieved with epstopdf from the Ghostscript site or with Photoshop and has the additional advantage of creating much smaller files. But now I have two question of my own: How can I tell LaTeX to put an image on a given position of the page (specifically topmost left corner for a logo)? Idealy, TeX should then forget that the picture is there at all, and typeset the rest of the page as if it were not. Can this be done? Also: In report class, can a picture be placed on the title page? The obvious solution \begin{abstract} \begin{figure} \includegraphics{titlepicture.eps} \end{figure} \end{abstract} \maketitle leads to the picture printed on a separate page before the titlepage, even with the H option of the float package. Definetly not what I want.

I am trying to define a LaTeX class in which two environments A and B communicate via global variables (booleans). I wish to check that the environments are being used in the correct order. In the main code section of the class file (see the LaTeX Companion p.468) I declare three booleans: \newboolean{P@rt0} \setboolean{P@rt0}{true} % Initial value = true \newboolean{P@rt1} % Initial value = false \newboolean{P@rt2} % Initial value = false and a command which will check that A and B are in the correct order. The first argument is the number of the previous part, the second is the number of the current part. \newcommand{\CheckOrder}[2]{\ifthenelse{\boolean{P@rt#1}} {\setboolean{P@rt#2}{true} \typeout{Correct order.} } {\setboolean{P@rt#2}{true} \typeout{Incorrect order.} }} The environment declarations are \newenvironment{A}{\CheckOrder{0}{1}}{} \newenvironment{B}{\CheckOrder{1}{2}}{} The document instance contains the environments in the correct order: \begin{document} \begin{A} Hello \end{A} \begin{B} World \end{B} \end{document} xdvi shows the correct "Hello World", but the console output is: Correct order. Incorrect order. Why can't environments A and B communicate with each other? Is this because P@rt0, P@rt1 and P@rt2 are not global variables? How does one create global variables in LaTeX?

Gray" Organization: Dept. of Chemical Engineering, University of Texas at Austin To: texhax@tex.ac.uk Subject: vertical placement oddity Hi, I've uncovered some odd behavior that I can't seem to get rid of or find in documentation or FAQs... When I use \flushbottom on my document, line spacing expands to fill up pages, but the subsection headings do not move along with the rest of the text. Therefore, the section headings end up overwriting text in the previous section, and a large gap is then left between the sections. (These extreme behavior is only on a few pages with bad page breaks, but looking closely at other pages I can see that headings are misplaced vertically) Any idea what could cause such behavior? I'm writing a thesis with a custom package, but the package uses the standard \@startsection to define the section headings, with appropriate rubber lengths, and I can't find any other modifications that would affect section headings. All the other packages I'm using are standard-distribution packages that, to my knowledge, shouldn't have anything to do with section headings. (amsmath,latexsym,graphicx,psfrag,rotating,overcite) I can't seem to figure out Thank you for any help you can provide, Jeff Gray ---------- Message: 6 Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 08:39:30 -0400 (EDT) From: Mimi Burbank Reply-To: Mimi Burbank Subject: Re: TUGboat 20(4) shipped to Cadmus To: tug-board@tug.org, tub-prod@scri.fsu.edu, office@tug.org, texhax@tex.ac.uk, tex-eds@nic.surfnet.nl a "my fingers got ahead of themselves" error in the contents of TUGboat 20(4) : > Statement of ownership 430 ^^^ should be "403" sorry, mimi burbank ---------- About TeXhax...

Using the theorem package and defining a structure with \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[chapter] and then using it, typically: \begin{theorem}[some heading material] The actual text of the theorem which runs to a couple of lines or so. \end{theorem} I require the text to run on from the printed name and heading material without a line break (see, for example, Conjecture 7 at the foot of page 57 in Lamport's LaTeX User's Guide, updated for LaTeX 2e), with line breaking and justification. If the printed name and heading material occupy more than some fraction of textwidth then this requirement is not met. How can I force latex to accept the printed name and heading material as part of the text for line breaking/justification purposes.

Does anyone knows how to nullify the spacing between items in lists in LaTeX when working with \documentstyle{report}? The question seems to be an obvious one, but I have been putting \parsep and \itemsep to 0pt as such and in the list environments, as well as with the \setlength command, but without any effect: the style file seems always to be stronger and imposing its own spacing. Is that a hopeless fight?

Upon TeX'ing, it (LaTeX2e) doesn't recognize the "\cal" font, despite the fact that I've loaded fonts and have no problems TeX'ing in other classes. In addition, I get the error ! Improper \spacefactor. \@addpunct #1->\ifnum \spacefactor >\@m \else #1\fi l.66 \maketitle for the title page. These problems may stem from the lack of documentation for this class. Is there any on-line documentation (or otherwise) for the amsbook class (aside from the files from the AMS site)? I would like to gain some self-sufficiency, as I'm sure to have further problems down the road. Thanks for any help, -Eric Zaslow p.s. Send responses to zaslow@math.nwu.edu ---------- About TeXhax...
