Subject: Problems with unpacking MS-DOS files.
The EmTeX files in one of the sub-directories of the MS-DOS directory don't
appear to unpack too willingly!
The files are stored in BOOed format (filename.BOO) and on attempting to unpack
with DEBOO.EXE a message to the effect 'unable to open filename.ZIP in
EMTEX\DISK?\filename.ZIP' is obtained - creating the appropriate directory
structure (on a hard disk) doesn't appear to fix the problem.
Any solution, or suggestions? I already have EmTeX on my machine; what I'm
trying to download is the DVIDRV stuff for the HP (in my case for the Deskjet
500 as the driver now outputs for that if the appropriate switch is used on the
Laserjet driver - I hope!).
If it's possible to put the files in binary format, or in some format where
it's possible to obtain the executables, I can ftp them directly to my PC so
perhaps that could be an interim solution?
Thanks,
Hasan.

Subject: patch for dvips using .pfb files
I append a small diff set for one of the source files of dvips5.47
which will allow the program to read binary .pfb files. I needed this
because (gasp!) I don't always use TeX, and I wanted PostScript fonts
which are to be downloaded to be useable by Adobe Type Manager as well
as dvips (without keeping two copies on disk). So I painfully
converted plain ASCII versions back into .pfb form, and added this
code to dvips. Yes, it probably makes dvips run a bit slower, but
who's counting? It saves some disk space instead.... it is assumed
that the font file names have a suffix of .pfb.
This is probably only of use to MSDOS people, as I don't know if it
will work on a Macintosh yet (I am working on compiling dvips for Mac).

There's a style file, drop.sty, which you can use to create the big
letter (the jargon for which is `versal', in calligraphy at least). I
append a copy to this message.
Yannis Haralambous has created suitable fonts for the versal (e.g.,
Fraktur); see TUGboat vol 12 no 1 pp 129--138. I don't know of their
availability, however, though the article does state that they should
be available from Aston and Heidelberg -- perhaps someone else will be
able to help you there. The font you'll probably want to use is
called `yinit'.

% Macro for dropping and enlarging the first letter(s) of a paragraph.

% Macro written by David G. Cantor, and published Fri, 12 Feb 88, in
% TeXhax, 1988 #16.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% This LaTeX macro is for dropping and enlarging the first letter(s) of a
% paragraph. The argument may be one or more letters.
%
% Here is an example of its usage:
%
% \documentstyle[drop]{article}
% \begin{document}
% \drop{IN} THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Now the
% earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the
% deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
% \end{document}
%
% Which will produce something along these lines:
%
% I I\ I THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
% I I \ I Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was
% I I \I upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hov-
% ered over the face of the waters.
%
% In the first instance the macro will pause during LaTeX processing and
% ask you for the font you wish to use for you drop capital. When you
% have something that looks good, then comment out box one in DROP.STY,
% and comment in box two, replacing "cmr10 scaled \magstep5" with the font
% of your choice.
%
% In my opinion (DW) there are no fonts available in the standard
% TeX/LaTeX set that are ideal for this use, unless you go down to 9pt or
% 8pt for your text face, and this is too small. If you have Metafont you
% should consider generating a cmr17 font at a magstep of two (about 25pt)
% or three (about 30pt), or even more, depending on the point size of your
% main text. Why not go the whole hog and design some really fancy
% capitals from scratch!

Graham Toal <gtoal@uk.ac.ed> has a RiscOS version for the Archimedes
which you may like to investigate. Here's a message which he sent to
UKTeX on the subject in 1990:

Reply-To: GTOAL@ed.ac.uk
Originally-To: info-tex@uk.ac.aston
Originally-Cc: gtoal
Originally-from: GTOAL@UK.AC.EDINBURGH.COMPUTER-SCIENCE.TARDIS
CSICWM@UK.AC.SHEFFIELD.PRIMEA asks for TeX for the Acorn Archimedes,
running RiscOS rather than Unix.
There are two versions of this compiled for the Archimedes; one is from
Tools GmbH which is sold commercially (I think around $UK200 for a full
set of TeX and MF), and one which is supplied by myself as a part-time
public domain effort.
I have *not* tried very hard to advertise my services before now, because
my release has been short of a very vital part: the previewer. However
a previewer which has been under development for some time finally started
working this morning (!) and should be beta-testable by the end of next week.
I shall also be lodging copies with the Archive, although I'm not sure
exactly how to do that... my release at the moment includes sources and
font files - it would be a shame to use 20Mb of aston disk space to duplicate
files already there - and it will be a lot of work sorting things out
into suitable format if I dont.
Meantime, I think the best thing to do is for anyone who wants a copy
of TeX (2.9) from me is to post me 25 *FORMATTED* Archimedes floppies
and return postage stamps, and I'll mail them a release as soon as I
can. However because of the part-time nature of this, and the length
of time it takes to copy that many disks, I warn you that sometimes
people have waited as long as ten weeks for their disks to arrive.
If you want better support and quicker service, I can recommend the Tools
version of TeX. They were kind enough to send me a full release for
testing, so I know that it works well enough. I wouldn't say mine
was any better... just cheaper (and copyable) :-)

Subject: MathTime: PostScript Times math fonts
I've just received some promotional literature from TeXplorators Corp. for
"MathTime", offering for sale a set of three downloadable hinted PostScript
fonts for TeX, to allow Times and other PostScript fonts to be used sensibly
in math mode. We have been using Times in math mode with moderately
successful results for a while, but it depends on having non-too-complex
equations and on being prepared to insert kerns manually where necessary.
(a) Has anyone who has used this product any comments to make on its
performance and value for money (about $135)?
(b) It's advertised in PC and Macintosh (OzTeX) versions. Can the PC version
be used as-is on, say, a Unix system, or does it contain machine-specific
executables?
(c) Are there any public-domain (hence, possibly, better) PostScript Times
math fonts in circulation?
Any information/comments welcome!

But I was told I had insuffiecient priveledge to create files in

If the latter - what's the simplest way of getting several files from
Aston to here - given that we havn't (yet) got our JIPS connection up

Subject: french.sty Version 3.00 announcement
I'm pleased to announce the availability of the new french style (V3.00).
This style is specially for LaTeX users but runs with plain TeX (for the
basical mechanisms). Coding have been tested with TeX as well as MLTeX,
LaTeX (up to december 91) and NFSS (same date). As of today i have not
received any comments about (L)AmSTeX tests. The french style use CMR
fonts; a future version will contain mods for ECM.
The topic: designed to print documents or parts of a document with respect
of the french typography as recommended by the the "Imprimerie nationale".
Other aspects like translation of LaTeX styles or multilingual printing
are also proposed.
[...]
The french style is in 4 main parts: typography (in the line), page layout,
translation to french and macros for help. Each of these parts can be
activated or not.
This style introduce dozens of new control sequences and also few new
concepts: configuration file (already introduced in Babel), language
switch by language name, abbreviations file, etc.
The french style distribution contains 24 files and contains 460kb.
README are provided as well as a "Notice d'utilisation" (ALIRE.dvi).
A full "torture-test" is also provided.
The distribution is in 3 formats:
a) tar file archive b) zoo file archive c) source (24 files)
HOW to retrieve the distribution? 3 ways:
1) For EARN users (not having internet access)
In the GUTenberg archives (LISTSERV@DHDURZ1) in the directory FRENCH.
Send a message to this address with GET FRENCH FILELIST FRENCH to obtain
the complete list of the directory.
(Caution; mailers may corrupt the files: for your help you can retrieve
by GET CARACTER TABLE FRENCH the character reference file).
Binary files are UUENCODEd.
2) For Internet users:
A) by anonymous ftp, the distribution at spi.ens.fr (129.199.104.3)
in the directory /incoming
B) by mail you can use a gateway doing the ftp for you (don't have them
in mind at the moment).
Or use the mail-server at Stuttgart:
mail-server@rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart
where the french style is archived in:
/soft/tex/latex-style-supported/french
3) For those who are isolated, send me a 3" PC diskett with return postage
(my address is in the TUGboat or in Cahiers GUTenberg#8 p62)
This french style is dedicated to all colleagues around the world that print
documents containing french texts and specially to those who are working
at the University of Laval, Quebec.
Looking to hear from you about improvements of this style file.

Subject: at last, virtual fonts for the Macintosh
***********************************************
* At last... virtual fonts for the Macintosh! *
***********************************************
January 10, 1992
Good news for Macintosh TeXers:
Peter Breitenlohner's DVIcopy has been ported to
the Macintosh OS, as a standalone application
called MacDVIcopy.
This application can be used with OzTeX or Textures
(through the utility DVItool).
* What is DVIcopy?
DVIcopy allows ``devirtualization''
(replacement of virtual characters by their real
components) of DVI files.
For example, if you need accented characters and
only have CM fonts, you can easily write a virtual
font where characters are composed with accents
in order to produce accented characters. OzTeX
will run a file using this virtual font as if it
were a real one. Before previewing, you will run
MacDVIcopy on the DVI file produced by OzTeX.
MacDVIcopy will create a new DVI file where
composed characters will be replaced by their components.
* Why on earth should I do that?
Since this operation happens on the DVI level,
TeX will hyphenate your text as if it were
actually using accented characters. In this way
non-English texts can be correctly hyphenated
while using CM fonts---and without the necessity of
TeX extensions like MLTeX.
Also it will save you a lot of space since pk files
tend to grow and a lot of money since some companies
have the bad habit of selling separately different
rearrangements of the same PostScript font...
* Do I need MPW to compile MacDVIcopy?
No. MacDVIcopy has been compiled using Think Pascal
version 3. Sources and resources are included in
the package.
* Which version is available?
Currently available version is alpha,
please test it extensively and report bugs and
missing features to Yannis Haralambous, bitnet:
yannis@frcitl81.
When the code reaches the final stage, a WEB
changefile will be written.
* Where can I get it?
You can get the alpha version of MacDVIcopy by
anonymous ftp at
spi.ens.fr (IP 129.199.104.3)
in the directory ``pub/mac/hqx''
cd pub/mac/hqx
get MacDVIcopy-alpha.sea.hqx
quit
Once binhexed, the package is compacted
in an autoexpandable form by
Compact Pro (just double-click on it's icon).
Documentation is provided in English, French and Greek.
A big thank to Peter Breitenlohner for making this
beautiful program and distributing it on public domain,
together with the necessary changefile for PC (which
was the starting point for the Mac implementation).

Subject: New LaTeX & NFSS releases in the Aston archive
I am pleased to be finally able to announce the availability of the
LaTeX and NFSS updates of Dec 1, 91 at the Aston archive.
The LaTeX sources can be found in the directories
[TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.DOC]
[TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.STY]
[TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.GENERAL]
[TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.FONTS]
Note that ALL files have to be updated!
The new NFSS release can be found in
[TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.STYLES.FONTSEL]
Adaptations for the dc fonts are in
[TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.STYLES.FONTSEL.NFSS-DC]
I append the readme for the new version:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
LaTeX version 2.09 -- Release of Dec 1, 1991
- --------------------------------------------
This release supercedes ILaTeX which is to disappear.
There are some incompatibilities due to bug fixes. For more
information see latex.bug. Especially fix #197 (changing the counter
in thebibliography) and style changes #56/57 might cause problems for
styles that were derived from the article standard document style.
The Metafont source files have also been updated. This does not mean
that the shape of the characters were changed, only a few internals
like the font identifier for the invisible fonts, and the addition of
a check so that the line and circle fonts can no longer be run with
cmbase.
It should be noted explicitly that ALL files have to be updated:
otherwise it will not work.

from 10.30 to about 17.00
MEETING OUTLINE
As Knuth's Preface to The \TeX book says, \TeX\ is intended for
the creation of beautiful books. In this one-day meeting we aim
to show how some established publishers are taking to \TeX\ as
they switch to computer typesetting systems and to investigate
the experience of using \TeX\ to produce camera ready copy,
particularly in collections of work by several authors.
MEETING DETAILS
The meeting will be held in the Lecture Theatre at the School of
Oriental and African Studies, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square,
London WC1. The nearest main line station is Euston and the nearest
underground stations are Euston, Euston Square and Russell Square.
The meeting will begin at 11.00, with registration and coffee from
10.30 onwards; there will be breaks for lunch and tea, and it is
expected to finish at around 17.00. There will be a charge for the
meet
ing of \pounds 15 for members of \uktug, and \pounds 20 for
non-members.
A booking form is being sent to members.

Subject: Font (and other binary) files now transferrable from the Archive
A perennial problem with the UK TeX Archive at Aston University has been
the presence of `binary' files; by this, I mostly mean .tfm, .pk & .gf
files (although there are also .pxl and .dvi files, not to mention
executable and/or object files for various computers, and some archive
collections).
Part of the problem has been of the archivists' own making; these
volunteers work on a variety of different computing platforms, and when
files are transferred from their home sites into the archive, they may
not always end up in the `best' format. (This problem is likely to be
exacerbated by the arrival of ftp across the Internet, which has the
unfortunate effect of generating what VMS calls a STREAM_LF file.)
When the archivists first tackled this problem, some two years or so
ago, the main causes of problems were
1) TeX font files which had been transferred directly from other
VAXen, and usually ended up as 512-byte fixed-length records
(which is the way TeX and its friends *want* such files on a VAX)
2) TeX font files which had been uploaded or downloaded from a Unix
platform by NIFTP, but without being specified as binary (which is,
of course, a meaningless concept to Unix systems)
3) TeX font files which had been uploaded from a Unix system
(downloaded files were OK), because they were created as STREAM_LF.
The problem with (1) is that such files can only be transferred by NIFTP
to another VAX --- the Colour Book Software for VMS won't transfer such
a file except to another VAX. The problem with (2) was that every 0x0A
byte in the font file was treated as an end-of-record, but the file was
later transferred as `text' and ended up with a 0x0D in front of each.
Finally, (3) seemed OK until one found that the CBS implementation
wouldn't transfer such a file if any `record' (in this case, the
distance between two 0x0A bytes) exceeded its buffer size, which was
only 4kB: some files would transfer OK, but many wouldn't.
About two years ago, the majority of STREAM_LF files were converted to a
format which we'd discovered could successfully be transferred by binary
NIFTP to any site, namely variable-length records, with no carriage-
control (VLNOCC for short). At that time, we felt it would be more
efficient for such records to be limited to a maximum length of 510
bytes (thus each record would occupy exactly one disk block). This
method worked satisfactorily for Unix sites, but any VAX site retrieving
such files had to jump through a lot of hoops (usually involving a
back-to-back transfer through Kermit) to convert the files to the
512-byte fixed-length records required by VMS TeXware.
I have just conducted a major conversion job on the majority of such
files, so that now all .tfm, .pk, .gf and .dvi files are stored as
VLNOCC records with a maximum length of 512 bytes (there is actually no
loss of efficiency, because of the fancy way RMS performs multi-
bufferring). Such files can still be transferred to Unix and other
stream-oriented operating systems (but DO remember to specify a *binary*
transfer).
For the VMS users, whether they specify /CODE=BINARY or /CODE=FAST on
the TRANSFER command, they'll end up with a file that's still VLNOCC;
however, this can *readily* be made to conform with VMS TeX by saying:
$ CONVERT/FDL=VAR_TO_FIX filename filename
where the file VAR_TO_FIX.FDL contains:
RECORD
CARRIAGE_CONTROL none
FORMAT fixed
SIZE 512
(If the file is .dvi, it is necessary to specify /PAD=%XDF on the command
line; default padding of short final blocks with %X00 seems satisfactory
for other files types.)
A total of 5044 files, totalling fractionally under 100MB were
converted; they now reside in their original 54 directories. A few 512-
byte fixed files were not converted; these are either .dvi files
intended purely for VMS systems (such as the TRIPVDU.DVI file for Andy
Trevorrow's DVItoVDU) or .fmt files, again for VAXen. Such files should
be transferred to your VAX using /CODE=FAST. (Note also that we don't,
in general, keep executable [.EXE] files for VMS, since these might very
well not be runnable by sites with older versions of VMS; instead, the
archive contains VMS .OBJ files, for relinking after transfer to your
site: again, use /CODE=FAST.)
I hope this will clear up all the problems that sites have experienced
with `binary' files; if you still experience difficulty with
transferring one or more files from the archive to some machine at your
site, and you're certain that you've remembered to keep specifying
binary transfers (including between local machines at your site), then
please do notify myself, either at this address, or as system@uk.ac.tex.
