We use CAP (still 5.0) to let our UNIX systems print to the LaserWriters as well. One of the popular UNIX applications for printing is the TeX typesetting system. We use the standard dvi2ps driver. It inserts a "prologue" of PostScript code before the actual converted document. One part of that prologue allows the use of \special commands in the TeX document to insert PostScript figures into the TeX document. This code would redefine the standard Apple PostScript procedure "psu" to avoid some problems when including figures made with MacDraw, etc. This always worked fine before. Now, whenever someone tries to include a PostScript figure in their TeX document (triggering this section of the dvi2ps PostScript code), the LaserWriter quits, claiming that "psu" is undefined. I captured the PostScript from printing from a Mac with the LaserWriter 7.0 driver and I can see that there is in fact a "psu" procedure. Yet somehow, a LaserWriter that has been initialized with this driver thinks that "psu" is undefined when our UNIX box comes along and tries to re-define it. I really don't know PostScript at all, so I am not sure what LaserWriter 7.0 is doing differently with "psu" that is creating this problem. Anyone have any ideas? E-mail or post as desired. Thanks. -Phil Farrell, Computer Systems Manager Stanford University School of Earth Sciences farrell@pangea.stanford.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 05 Jun 1991 10:28:22 CDT From: "George D.

You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/fontname/fontname.texi I will also send it to you by email if you cannot ftp. It is about 25K in size. It is in Texinfo format, so you will need the TeX macros in the file texinfo.tex (distributed with most GNU programs) to be able to print it; that same directory also has a texinfo.tex. The rest of that directory contains the files showing the naming scheme applied to the Computer Modern, AMS, and Adobe fonts. This is an update of my article in TUGboat 11(4). The main changes are a much longer list of typeface families, a somewhat longer exposition of the problems with the naming scheme, and a proposal for another naming scheme for arbitrarily-long names (and a slight enhancement to TeX, approved by Professor Knuth, to allow this). I would very much appreciate any additions, criticisms, or other comments. karl@cs.umb.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 31 May 1991 01:28 PDT From: Don Hosek--ymir archive Subject: UPLOAD: revtex--LaTeX styles for Physical Review Keywords: YMIR.CLAREMONT.EDU, UPLOAD, revtex--LaTeX styles for Physical Review I've just uploaded the revtex 2.0 package to ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-contrib] The files were obtained by anonymous FTP from niord.shsu.edu on 31-May-1991 The following is excerpted from revtex.readme in that directory: % This file is part of a compuscript toolbox distributed by % the American Physical Society in conjunction with % the TeX author-prepared program. The complete toolbox % contains: % % README this file % APGUIDE.TEX The TeX Author Prepared Input Guide. % APS.STY THE APS style file. % APS10.STY The style file for galley output. % REVTEX.STY The REVTEX style file. % PREPRINT.STY A style file for preprint output. % EQSECNUM.STY A style file to number equations by section. % SMPLEA.TEX Brief sample of REVTEX use. % SMPLEB.TEX A complete Physical Review paper, galley format. % SMPLEC.TEX SMPLEB.TEX, in preprint format. -dh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 May 1991 01:29 PDT From: Don Hosek--ymir archive Subject: UPDATE: Several .el files moved in ymir archive Keywords: YMIR.CLAREMONT.EDU, UPLOAD, .el files, move In retrospect, I've decided that cnvtbib.el does not properly belong in [anonymous.tex.utilities.emacs-modes] (since it is not properly a "mode"). It has been returned to ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.bibtex.utilities]cnvtbib.el Also, the files for the WEB Emacs mode have been moved from [anonymous.tex.utilities.web-emacs-mode] to ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.utilities.emacs-modes] see the 00readme.txt file in that directory to see which files are which. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 May 1991 01:27 PDT From: Don Hosek--ymir archive Subject: UPLOAD: program.sty--Typeset program fragments in LaTeX Keywords: YMIR.CLAREMONT.EDU, UPLOAD, program.sty I have just uploaded program.sty and program-example.tex to ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-contrib] The files were obtained from fileserv@shsu on 23-May-1991. The following was excerpted from the internal documentation: % This is the "program" style option which sets up the % program and programbox environments, % keywords for programs and a few goodies. % NOTE: Within the program environment: % (1) Newlines are significant. % (2) Each line is in math mode, so for example spaces in the input % file are not significant. % (3) \\ within a line causes a linebreak in the output. % % We also define a "programbox" environment which typesets a program in a box. % Useful for keeping a piece of code on one page or for typesetting small % programs in running text. % We also redefine \( and \) as \begin{programbox} and \end{programbox}. % The \tab and \untab commands are defined to have no effect while outside % a program environment, hence a single-line program can be typeset in % maths mode without the overhead associated with programbox. -dh -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 31 May 1991 01:27 PDT From: Don Hosek--ymir archive Subject: UPLOAD: eslides.sty--typeset transparancies with LaTeX not SliTeX Keywords: YMIR.CLAREMONT.EDU, UPLOAD, eslides.sty I have just uploaded the eslides package consisting of eslides-example.tex, eslides.sty, eslides.tex and logo-denk.tex to ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-contrib] The files were obtained from fileserv@shsu on 23-May-1991. eslides.sty provides a mechanism for producing transparencies with LaTeX and was written up in TUGboat 11#2. -dh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 May 1991 01:28 PDT From: Don Hosek--ymir archive Subject: UPLOAD: unixman.sty--Manpage-like formatting for LaTeX Keywords: YMIR.CLAREMONT.EDU, UPLOAD, unixman.sty I have just uploaded ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-contrib]unixman.sty/tex The files were posted to comp.text.tex by the author on 12-April-1991.
