The UK \TeX\ Users Group
Announcement of a Forthcoming Meeting:
\TeX\ and \LaTeX\ evolve
held on Wednesday 13th February 1991
at The Royal Institution of Great Britain, London, U.K.
SPEAKERS
The speakers will be Frank Mittelbach, Rainer Sch\"opf,
Dominik Wujastyk, and a panel of handpicked gourous.
MEETING DETAILS
The meeting will be held in the Bernard Sunley Lecture Theatre, The
Royal Instution of Great Britain, 21 Albemarle Street,
London W1. It will commence at 10.00 am, with registration
and coffee from 9.30 o'clock. There will be breaks for
lunch and tea -- it is expected that the meeting will
finish around 4.30 pm. There will be a charge for the
meeting of \quid25 for members of the UK \TeX\ users group,
and \quid35 for non-members. A booking form is provided.
MEETING OUTLINE
This meeting is organised around the visit to London of
Frank Mittelbach \& Rainer Sch\"opf, well-known for their
many articles in TUGboat. They have contributed some fairly
major enhancements to the present \LaTeX. They will present
this material, concentrating on the {\bf doc-option} and
{\bf multicolumn style}. They have also implemented an {\bf
orthogonal font selection} scheme for both \TeX\ and
\LaTeX, and will also present the key issues involved in
this. This provides a rare opportunity to hear two of the
most active innovators in the real world of \TeX\ and
\LaTeX.
Frank has also been very concerned with examining what
{\bf extensions} are still required to \TeX\ to make it
suitable for the needs of the 90's and into the next
century: \TeX3 is just not enough!
Another area of current concern is that of {\bf virtual} or
{\bf composite fonts}. Although these were announced with
\TeX3, they are not particularly related. Dominik Wujastyk
will shed some light on them and reveal just what they are,
and why you might want them.
Among the highlights of the meeting will be an
opportunity to put questions to some of the foremost \TeX\
practitioners in Europe. Intended as a `guru' session,
rather than yet another forum at which to ask `where do I
get \TeX\ for a Sinclair Z8?', `\TeX xers' Question Time' is

DIRECTIONS
Albemarle Street runs north/south from Piccadilly itself,
and is only a couple of hundred metres from Green Park tube
station.
By tube:
The nearest tube station to the Royal Institution is Green
Park (Piccadilly, Jubilee and Victoria Tube lines), but
Piccadilly Circus station itself (Piccadilly and Bakerloo
lines) is also within reasonable walking distance.
By car:
Bad move. Drive as far as one of the outlying BR or
Underground stations and continue your journey by public
transport.
By bus:
Yes, there's lots of buses around, and lots of them
seem to trundle along Piccadilly. Good luck.

The UK \TeX\ Users Group
Announcement of a Forthcoming Workshop:
You and \LaTeX3
held on Thursday 14th February 1991
at Parsifal College, 527 Finchley Road, London NW3, U.K.
WORKSHOP LEADERS
The workshop leaders will be Rainer Sch\"opf and Frank Mittelbach.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
The workshop will be held at Parsifal College in the Finchley
Road, about 1 mile from Finchley Road underground station
(there are buses!). It will commence at 10.30 am, with
registration and coffee from 10.00 o'clock. There will be
breaks for lunch and tea -- it is expected that the workshop
will finish around 4.30 pm, although there should be the
opportunity to continue discussions informally beyond that
time. There will be a charge for the workshop of \quid15 for
members of the UK \TeX\ users group, and \quid20 for
non-members.
Numbers for the workshop will be limited to about 20. Members
will of course be given preference. A booking form is provided
with this flyer.
WORKSHOP OUTLINE
This workshop is organised around the visit to London of Frank
Mittelbach \& Rainer Sch\"opf. Frank and Rainer have
contributed some fairly major enhancements to the present
\LaTeX. The workshop is restricted in numbers, and is purposely
{\bf not} for the faint hearted. It is {\bf not} a tutorial:
the emphasis is on `work'. Positive, constructive contributions
from the participants are a prerequisite. Don't come to this
workshop to find out what \LaTeX3 has in it! Come along to find
out how {\bf you} can help to make it a reality!
DIRECTIONS
By tube:
The nearest tube station to Parsifal is Finchley Road (Jubilee
and Metropolitan Tube lines). It is a fair walk up hill to
Parsifal College (on the corner of Parsifal Road): say 10
minutes if you are a fast walker. Any bus going north along
Finchley road will get you there. The routes which pass
Parsifal include 13, 82 and 113.
By car:
There is uncontrolled (i.e.~no meters or such nasties) street
parking available in the immediate area of the college. It is a
residential area, but provided you are inventive and patient,
you should find somewhere to park.
By bus:
Yes, there's lots of buses around, and lots of them seem to trundle up and
down the Finchley Road. They include the 13, 82 and 113. Good
luck.
By rail:
Both the North London Link and Thameslink have (separate)
stations at West Hampstead. The walk from these stations to
Parsifal takes about quarter of an hour. Buses going North from
West Hampstead (routes C11 and 28) will take you near to the
Fortune Green Road end of Parsifal Road. Parsifal Road runs
between Finchley Road and Fortune Green Road.

The simple answer, I'm afraid, is that one of the archivists transferred
the files into the archive from his machine using a binary NIFTP! I can
tell this by the file structure on the VAX, which reveals variable
length records, with no carriage control, of a maximum length of 132
bytes, which is the default format for a binary transfer, and also why
the archive's .TFM, .PK and similar files require conversion to 512-byte
fixed length blocks for use under VMS. (How texut-zip.boo managed to get
transferred in ASCII mode I don't know!)
I don't know whether the files are usable to you, but they're probably
incapable of being mailed, and I know that a transfer to a VAX site
would result in unusable files.
Would whoever it was who put them there care to repeat the exercise,
please.

Subject: RE: PICTeX Manual
you can buy the pictex manual through the TUG
office at aston (i.e. peter abbott). TUG has
no formal relationship with ukTeXug. at \quid17
it hardly seems expensive to me. about the same
as a few hours bowling. i wouldn't say
it was easy, but it certainly isn't a difficult
package to use. Wichura's syntax is interesting
but broadly consistent.
look at the article in TUGboat in which the package
is first described.
remember too that of the \quid17, a small royalty
goes to wichura, and may help encourage him to do
other things, and some goes to cover costs back at TUG.
think of it as a charitable contribution.

6th European TeX Conference
Paris, 23th--25th September 1991
The sixth European TeX Conference is
organised by the French speaking user group
(GUTenberg) and is concurently held with
the GUTenberg'91 congress.
TeX is now widely spread software in
the university and research community as
well as in the printers and publishers world,
notably for printing technical and
scientific publications.
The active part played by the various
European user groups in bringing about the
modifications undergone by TeX over the
past few years clearly demonstrates how
essential it is that an annual conference
should be held in Europe.
Suggested topics
Contributions may deal with various topics,
including those suggested below. Selection
will be made on the basis of novelty,
interest and use to the TeX user community.
Although English is official language,
simultaneous translation for French
speakers is being considered.
- --- Multi-lingual TeX
- --- User groups
- --- Developments around TeX, METAFONT. . .
- --- Merging TeX with other systems and applications
- --- Typographic layout and design
- --- HyperTeXt and its relationship with TeX
- --- Markup document systems
- --- Font design
- --- Merging TeX with graphics
- --- Specialist macros and their applications
- --- Networks related to TeX
Call for papers
The following deadlines applies to the 6th
European TeX Conference and to the
GUTenberg'91 congress.
A one page abstract (about two 80 character x 50 line
screens, say 400--600 words) should be submitted by mail,
e-mail or fax by the 1st February 1991.
Abstracts should be sent in first instance
to the author's national user group if
there is one; failing this, to one of the
programme coordinators.
Speakers selected will be notified of
acceptance by 1st March 1991.
Complete texts must be submitted by 1st May
1991, preferably in LaTeX source format
(details of layout, size and formatting
will be sent to the authors at time of
notification); if needed, camera-ready form
will be accepted.

GUTenberg'91
Technical and Scientific Publishing
Paris, 26th September 1991
This year the French speaking user group
held its congress concurently with the
sixth European TeX Conference. The
opportunity of holding an international
conference in France could not be missed.
As we want to maintain a French speaking
part to this meeting, a fourth congress day
has been added.
The GUTenberg'91 congress deals with
``Technical and Scientific Publishing''.
Although French is offical language,
simultaneous translation for English
speakers is being considered.
Suggested topics are the following:
- --- Special fonts design
- --- Developments around TeX and LaTeX
- --- TeX and graphics
- --- Rasterisation and output
- --- Special macro-packages
- --- Aspects of the French language
Advice to exhibitors
Exhibitors are requested to get in touch
with the organisation committee.

I was wrong. Although the [german] documentation speaks in terms of
needing 2560K of LIM expanded memory, experiment has shewn that it actually
uses 2832K or thereabouts ( a little less if you have more real memory );
on reflection, I would be inclined to ensure that it has 3000K available.
