[public.utilities] contains ispell.shar and dict.shar, spell for UNIX systems I have `ftp'ed a copy of sbtex.arc from yale to London and it is now queued for transmission to Aston. It should be available in the archive early next week. sbtex.arc is TeX for MS DOS systems. The distribution of TeXhax has moved from score and 99 is still the latest issue.

Does anybody know if this was a deliberate change, it certainly looks odd. It seems as if I will have to change the pagestyle order to do this, does anybody know of an example pagestyle from another style? Ian W Moor.

Whatever else it may do, it doesn't help with the graphics problem. To paraphrase a letter I wrote to someone else last week, graphics needs can be met in three ways i. assuming LaTeX picture, epic etc are no good (they are very limited), use PiCTeX, which doesnt have so many limitations but is crippling in speed and TeX memory need ii. generate your pictures with a decent drawing/ plotting program, get PostScript output, and include that in your TeX - but this way, you get no ability to typeset lettering \`{a} la TeX iii. write yourself a set of macros which do what you want (maybe LaTeX picture would do), but implement them as PostScript (or other) \specials, so as to remove the need for either PiCTeX dottery or silly LaTeX picture fonts I have recently come to the conclusion that (iii) is the only way forward, implementing a decent graphics language in TeX (maybe modelled on 'pic'), but relying on PostScript to do the work. One could use 'tpic' and the \specials associated with it, but thats rather clumsy. b) Phil 'I love VMS' Taylor wants a difference applier. If he were using Unix, he would find that the widely-used `patch' program can read a Unix-style `diff' listing and apply or unapply it to his source, doing what he wants with his Web sources. Doubtless one could rewrite patch under VMS to read VAX `compare' output. c) someone wanted `d.mf' from SIlvio Levy's Greek. I have had no problems with Levy's fonts, and I append d.mf to this message - maybe Peter could put it in the right place in the archive Sebastian Rahtz, Computer Science, Southampton ---------- Levy's d.mf ------------------------------------- if unknown gen_sigma: readfrom("gen_sigma") fi def dims = 8.5u#,asc_height#,0 enddef; def ital = 0 enddef; def fit_params = 0,0 enddef; def gen_letter = pickup fine.nib; top y1r=vround(if not monowidth:.95 fi x_height+oo); x1r=.5w; %top of loop x5r=.5w; bot y5r=-oo; %bottom of ditto lft x3r=w-rt x7r=hround(.75u); y3r=y7r=.5[y1r,y5r]; %left and right bulge filldraw stroke gr_arc.e(1,2,3)(vair,stem,.5otilt) %three quadrants of loop & gr_arc.e(3,4,5)(vair,stem,.5otilt) & gr_arc.e(5,6,7)(vair,stem,.5otilt); %we now draw the hook z8..z9..z10.

Expediency drove me to try a couple of drivers on the PC, one from PCTeX & the other from Arbortext. The former behaved in a totally erratic manner whilst the latter behaves itself when utilising Brother's HPLJ+ emulation with everything I've tried so far. Whilst I found Brother helpful, I have not yet got to grips with establishing why the PCTeX driver failed. Any info on this & other drivers for the HL-8 would be gratefully received. The agent in the UK for the Arbortext driver is: Ewart North, Unitex Systems 12 Dale View Road Sheffield S8 OEJ 0742-351489 Arbortext's number in the states is 010-1-313-996-3566, with a five hour delay as at November. I believe they produce drivers on different kit - all at a price!

After the meeting, I was approached by one such person, who said that he would dearly like to be able to access the InterNet TeX mailing lists and servers, and asked if I knew how he could do so. We discussed the technicalities and financial implications, and it seems that it would not be possible for his site to provide the necessary Greybook and X.25 software, but he does have access to the PSS system, and can therefore make X.29 calls, via the London or Rutherford gateways, into Janet. I undertook to ask on his behalf if there is any Janet site that would be prepared to offer him a guest account, such that he could access the Aston TeX-server and subscribe to the various TeX- related mailing lists. If there is, could someone from that site please contact: Paul L. Allen, T.E.G. Lab, Ferranti Defence Systems, Ltd., Robertson Avenue, Edinburgh, Scotland.

However, a new BibTeX.VMS_CHANGES is now to be found in [.SCORE.BIBTEX] in the archive. This even has a foreign command interface (which I don't think we've ever had for BibTeX before).

`TeX and MetaFont, New Directions in Typesetting', where we read (p.10) `Such style-defining control sequences are usually defined once and for all by TeXperts skilled in the lore of control-sequence definition, and novice TeX users don't have to worry about the job of defining any new control sequences;' in the following paragraph DeK refers to `TeXnical typist'. i guess these are the original references to both TeXpert and TeXnical. (purists will argue that the references also appear in `TeX, a system for technical text' which was first published by the AMS in June 1979. `TeX and MetaFont' is a collection of this manual, the MetaFont manual and the text of Knuth's Gibbs Lecture (still worth reading). now to Exercise 1.1 in the TeXbook. as many of us come to realise, there is more to TeX than only mastering the TeXbook. by the time you have done that, you should also be a TeX Master (pp 245 & 253), and even a Grandmaster (p 253). but lets not forget Exercise 27.5 `Find all the lies in this manual, and all of the JOKES' (my capitals). malcolm clark (TeXpert systems) (for those of you still too slow, the name TeXpert systems is a sort of pun on `expert systems' but with TeX brought in. geddit? my brain hurts.) --------------------------------- Date: 17-NOV-1988 14:40:35 GMT From: CENSWM@UK.AC.HW.VAXB To: abbottp@UK.AC.ASTON.CLUST Subject: Style files, and headsfoots.

Both are in `TeX for Scientific Documentation' Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science no 236 1986 Authors of both are Chen Harrison McCarrel Coker and Procter 1) An Improved User Environment for TeX 2) The VorTeX Document Preparation Environment 1) Describes a previewer (dvitool) for TeX which understands \specials indicating source line numbers and file names, the previewer has the ability to search the DVI file for such things such as values of \count's. There is also a suite of elisp programs for GNU emacs to provide latex, tex and bibtex mode. I am not clear if information can be sent back from the previewer to emacs, it seems like a useful thing to do -- you could get the editor display to stay in step with the previewer. 2) Discusses the need for an intermediate data structure between TeX source and DVI to make feedback from the display easier. There are references to Berkeley technical reports, I'm sure that there must be some more recent reports or publications. --------------------------------- Date: 17-NOV-1988 17:30:21 GMT From: RM028A@UK.AC.CRANFIELD.CDVC To: info-tex@UK.AC.ASTON Subject: Separate Chapter Bibliographies with LaTeX & BibTeX Looking through back issues of UKTeX, I've seen various requests for macros to allow separate chapter bibliographies using LaTeX and BibTeX. It happens that I needed just such a facility, so here's a LaTeX style file which seems to do the job. It only works if the chapters are \include'd but it should provide food for thought. - --------------------------------CUT HERE-------------------------------- %************************************************************************** % CHAPTERBIB.STY 17-NOV-1988 % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ % Allow LaTeX & BibTeX to produce separate bibliographies for each % chapter. % % Each part of the document requiring its own bibliography must be % \include'd (not \input'ed) by a `master' file. For example, consider % the following trivial example: % %======================================================================= % main.tex \documentstyle[chapterbib]{article} % \begin{document} % \include{ch1} % \include{ch2} % \end{document} %======================================================================= % ch1.tex \chapter{The First Chapter} % \cite{citation1} % \bibliographystyle{ieeetr} % \bibliography{mybibliography} %======================================================================= % ch2.tex \chapter{The Second Chapter} % \cite{citation2} % \bibliographystyle{ieeetr} % \bibliography{mybibliography} %======================================================================= % % 1. Run LaTeX on main.tex, producing main.aux, ch1.aux and ch2.aux as % expected, but the \bibliography commands will try to read in ch1.bbl % and ch2.bbl NOT main.bbl. % 2. Run BibTeX on ch1 and ch2, producing ch1.bbl and ch2.bbl. % 3. Run LaTeX on main.tex twice more to resolve cross references. % % At the end of chapters 1 and 2 will be a bibliography listing formatted % in accordance with the document and bibliography styles. If you are % fortunate to have the Unix MAKE utility or an equivalent (e.g. DEC MMS % for VAX/VMS), produce a Makefile. It will save a lot of time later! % %************************************************************************** % AUTHOR: Niel Kempson, % School of Electrical Engineering and Science, % Royal Military College of Science, % Shrivenham, SWINDON, SN6 8LA % United Kingdom % % Telephone: Swindon (0793) 785687 (UK) % +44-793-785687 (International) % JANET: rmcs-tex@uk.ac.cranfield.cdvc %************************************************************************** % % Keep track of the file that's currently being used for input.
