Subject: TFM files
I have been using OzTeX V1.3 since it was first issued with postcript
fonts. The TFM's were obtained from the Archive.
I have recently experimented with TeXtures to display eps files (the pict
resource). I have discovered that the output from the two packages is
different. I suspect that the tfm information used by Textures is not the
same as the tfm's I have (TImes Roman and Baskerville).
I find this disturbing since there should, in my opinion, be only one TFM
for any font. It also makes it more difficult to exchange DVI files.
How do I find out which is the correct tfm or am I forced to choose one. If
so I presume I need to make a pl file for importing into TeXtures since I
do not know how to export from TeXtures. Does anyone have pltoTFM for Mac
and the know how to create pl from TeXtures if I want to choose that route?

Subject: Training materials for LaTeX
Does anyone out there have, or know of the existence of, introductory
training materials for LaTeX? I'm thinking of something which gives the
initial push which a new user might need, taking her to a point where
she was able to produce a basic document. After this point, many users
would feel it worth while to experiment, or use one of the fuller documents
already around.
Something to be used in a supervised `hands on' session would be ideal,
though I'd be glad to hear about anything.

Subject: The Local Guide ...
Some time ago I suggested it would be useful to have a collection
of "Local Guides ..." since Knuth and Lamport both insist that
such things exist but don't say who should write them ... or how
that person starts. I'm willing to donate the Hull L.G. to start
the ball rolling, not because I think it's at all definitive but
in the hope of getting feedback to improve it, and especially to
encourage others to donate their L.G.s for me to plagiarize.
It's even possible that the collective wisdom of the Archive could
produce a Guide to writing L.G.s (even a suggested List of Contents
would be a start). Maybe some kind person could even write a short
Implementor's Guide.
(My guide follows as a separate message, hopefully not to be broadcast
in the week's news.)

What an excellent suggestion! Although I don't recall that you'd
previously made it. I could put the RMCS local guides up into the
archive, but suspect that they're all dependent upon the local style
file and local shield font, neither of which I want to export!
But I have five guides altogether, either written from scratch, or
adapting others' guides to local environment:
Guide to Typesetting
Guide to TeX and LaTeX
Guide to DVItoVDU
Guide to DVItoLN03
Guide to use of Language-sensitive Editor with LaTeX and BibTeX
> (My guide follows as a separate message, hopefully not to be broadcast

The best way to handle this is to transfer the guide's source to user
CONTRIBUTIONS (null password) and then announce its arrival by sending a
message to Archive-Contributions@uk.ac.TeX --- one (or more :-) of the
archivists will then move the file to some appropriate place, if they
approve

I remember that, at the TUG conference at Cork, someone presented a

was called (a little misleadingly) `floatfig.sty'.
I now find myself in the position of wanting to achieve precisely this
effect. I found the paper in the appropriate volume of TUGboat and
sent a message off to the Heidelberg server, but alas the file seems

Subject: Matching left/right pages
The Danish Classical Association is planning a source collection on
ancient slavery, written in LaTeX. It will be bi-lingual: Latin and/or
Greek text (Silvio Levy's fonts are used for the Greek) on the left
pages, a Danish translation on the right pages. An introduction before
the sources/translations and a commentary after them (in Danish) will
use both left and right pages.
Now, the question is:
Is there a macro(package) available that can manage the Latin/Greek
text and the Danish translation, so that the text on the left pages
correspond with the translation of the same passages on the right
pages?
Any help and/or comments will be welcome!

Subject: METAFONT mode_def for HP LaserJet III Si?
Can anyone supply a METAFONT mode_def for our new HP LJ III Si
printer, or alternatively say what its print engine is? The
documentation is silent on this matter, but we think it might be a
Canon engine. My CM fonts built for a LaserWriter II (Canon-CX) look
acceptable, but some of the bowls in cmr10/cmr12 letters are rather
thin and spidery.

Subject: CROPMARK TeX macro available
Peter Ungar <LAXA@ACFcluster.NYU.EDU> kindly passed along to me a TeX macro
for producing cropmarks in a document (cropmark.tex). Cropmarks are
markings on pages intended to be phototypeset. They mark the corners of
the intended book page. Interestingly, while we've had a LaTeX style file
for this for some time, I haven't seen a TeX macro for this (and I've had
four requests/inquiries over the past week from users about if one of these
existed for TeX -- good timing, Peter!).
To retrieve the file via e-mail, include the command:
SENDME STY.CROPMARK_TEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If you want the LaTeX variant of this, use:
SENDME STY.CROPMARK
For ftp users, these files are in the [.STY] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8).

Subject: TEXTURES_FIGS on FILESERV
Peter Galko <PTRPB@UOTTAWA.BITNET> has been patiently working with me on
this for far too long. Attached is FILESERV's description file for his
TEXTURES_FIGS package. The package also includes a version of the macro
file EPSF.TEX written originally by Tom Rokicki to include EPSF Graphics in
TeX output utilizing the DVIPS utility. This version is modified to work
on the Macintosh with TeXtures rather than dvips. It is intended to allow
direct usage of files written for dvips to be TeX'ed and printed using
TeXtures. For ftp retrieval, the macros are in [.TEXTURES_FIGS] on
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) as FIGURE.MACROS
- --George
===========================================================================
TEXTURES_FIGS
-------------
The TEXTURES_FIGS package includes Peter Galko's <PTRPB@UOTTAWA.BITNET>
figure macros for TeXtures. It is distributed in six parts to accommodate
size-sensitive mailers. The five files, TEXTURES_FIGS.MACROS_%OF5, should
be concatenated upon receipt and unBinHex'ed.
The files represents a collection of macros which make it easy to place a
graphic drawn using virtually any Macintosh graphic application and stored
in a standard form in a TeXtures document. The macros can deal with
graphics stored in the 'pictures part' of a TeXtures document, or as an
external PICT file, or as an EPSF file. The graphic will be imported into
the document and centred on the page according to dimensions given for the
drawing, or in the case of an EPSF document, according to the drawing size
specified in the EPSF document itself if you so desire. The drawings may
be scaled by a fixed scale factor you may specify, be scaled to provide a
given height or width as you choose, or may be nonuniformly scaled in width
or height (this latter effect will not manifest itself in the preview, but
rather will only appear in printing the result on a PostScript printer).
An outline box surrounding the graphic can be automatically generated if so
desired, as can a caption for the figure utilizing a standard format for
captions.
In addition to simply incorporating a document as a complete graphic in a
TeXtures document, the macros provide an easy way to overlay text on a
figure so that consistent precisely positioned labelling of a figure can
be easily achieved. The macros simply required that the distance from the
lower left hand corner of the bounding box of the figure (or any reference
point relative to the corner) to a reference point for the text to be
added be given, and it be indicated how the text is to be positioned
relative to the specified reference point. The text can be horizontally
centred, left justified or right justified relative to the reference
point, and vertically positioned so that the baseline of the text is at
the reference point, or the 'text axis' or math axis is at the reference
point, or the top, middle, or bottom of the box which the text comprises
is at the reference point. The text may also be rotated about the
reference point (although this effect will not appear in the screen
preview). Scaling and stretching effects do not modify the text being
overlayed other than to move the position of the reference point on the
printed page.
Although the macros are written for TeXtures specifically, they should be
readily ported to almost any system that prints on a PostScript printer.
You may retrieve the entire package of 6 files by including the command:
SENDME TEXTURES_FIGS
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
A complete distribution of this version of TEXTURES_FIGS requires all 6
files in this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason,
you should only need one of these files, say TEXTURES_FIGS.INFO, use the
command:
SENDME TEXTURES_FIGS.INFO
in the body of your mail message to FILESERV.

Subject: Future Developments of TeX
Future developments of TeX
At every TeX meeting since 1989 I keep hearing questions
about the future development of TeX. At Texas A&M Frank
Mittelbach presented a paper about "The Future of
TeX". Further papers have been following, the
discussion never stopped. `Future of TeX' was the
standard BoF session at the last meetings.
To bring a new development of TeX on the way,
DANTE e.V. decided to set up a working group. It's
not intended as an internal affair of DANTE e.V.,
but as a cooperation of all those who are interested in
such a project. Every one is invited to contribute ideas and
demands and to work in this direction. It is
planned, but not fixed, to have three stages:
1. stage: What should be changed?
2. stage: How can this be realised?
3. stage: Realisation.
The time and place to start will be the meeting of DANTE
e.V. in Hamburg at the end of March. It is planned to form
there a working group which directs further
stages.
I think that a further development of TeX is very
important, because other products for typesetting
become better and better, and it is necessary to
take care that TeX or its successor stays what it
has been during the last years --- the very best one.
Kind regards
Joachim Lammarsch

Subject: OzTeX V1.4
OzTeX V1.4 is available and needs 6 (800k) formatted disks. It will be in
the archive shortly.
Here are details of the changes
Peter
=====
Changes to OzTeX 1.3
====================
All changes are listed here, roughly in order of decreasing importance.
TeX has been updated from version 3.0 to 3.14.
Plain.tex in the TeX-inputs folder has been updated to the "official" 3.0
version and used to build a new Plain.fmt in the TeX-formats folder.
When TeX is waiting for terminal input you can now drag/resize/scroll/zoom
the OzTeX window or switch to another application. The mouse cursor no longer
disappears, instead it changes from a watch to the standard arrow.
The recommended amount of memory required to run OzTeX is now 870K.
\special support has been extended to allow the printing and previewing of
included EPSF/PICT/PNTG files. You can now use
\special{epsf: filename} to include an EPSF file (encapsulated PostScript),
\special{pict: filename} to include a PICT file (eg. MacDraw output),
\special{pntg: filename} to include a PNTG file (eg. MacPaint output).
The old syntax of \special{filename [optional PS code]} is still supported
in case you want to include a file of raw PostScript.
The new \special commands allow you to preview graphics in your DVI file and
should become the preferred way of including Mac-generated pictures in OzTeX.
Keywords and file names are case-insensitive; "=" can be used instead of ":"
to terminate the keyword, and spaces before the file name are ignored.
For example, \special{EPSF=FOO} is the same as \special{epsf: foo}.
The new \special commands also allow optional "keyword=value" pairs after
the file name. (The keyword can also be terminated by ":" or a space.)
Here are the currently supported keywords:
- scale=n scales a picture by a factor n (n must be > 0.0 and <= 100.0).
- hscale=n sets the horizontal scale factor (and alters the aspect ratio).
- vscale=n sets the vertical scale factor (and alters the aspect ratio).
- width=bp sets the horizontal scale to get a picture at the desired width
(bp is a number > 0.0 and <= 7200.0 in bp units, where 72bp = 1in).
If no previous height keyword has been used then the vertical scale is
set to the new horizontal scale to preserve the aspect ratio.
- height=bp sets the vertical scale to get a picture at the desired height.
If no previous width keyword has been used then the horizontal scale is
set to the new vertical scale to preserve the aspect ratio.
If a particular keyword is used more than once in a single \special command
then the last value is used. An illegal keyword or value will produce a
warning message when previewing but cause the entire \special to be ignored
when printing. (The moral is: preview before you print.)
See the new OzTeX User Guide for a full discussion of \special commands.
Also, nasty.tex in the TeX-docs folder has been updated to test the inclusion
of various graphic files; see page 3 in particular.
The "Page Info" item shows \special commands in a slightly different format
and if a bitmap exists for a PICT/PNTG/EPSF \special then its width and height
are displayed (using the current units). This information can be used to
accurately position the corresponding \special in a later TeX run.
Changing the DVI magnification in a print/view dialog will change the
size of \special graphics accordingly (except for raw PostScript files
that use operators like "initgraphics").
Larry Siebenmann's BoxedEPSF.* files have been added to the TeX-inputs folder.
BoxedEPSF.tex is a macro package that allows automatic positioning and scaling
of EPSF files; see BoxedEPSF.doc.
The "Include Laser Prep" option has been removed from the print dialog.
The two corresponding parameters in configuration files are now ignored
(reserved for future use). All LaserPrep*.ps files have been deleted from
the PS-files folder. People with documents that rely on the inclusion
of such files can still print them:
1. Create a new version of DVItoPS.ps and append an appropriate LaserPrep file.
2. Create a new config file that refers to this modified prolog file.
3. Switch to the new config file before printing your document.
OzTeX's printing code knows about System 7. You no longer need to keep a
duplicate copy of the LaserWriter driver in the System folder (OzTeX will
look for it in the Extensions folder). Printing a file from another disk
also works properly.
The horizontal and vertical offset parameters in a configuration file
are now handled a bit differently to avoid a couple of problems.
The parameters get passed to the DVItoPS.ps prolog file and are used to
adjust the location of the TeX origin for both portrait AND landscape printing
(previously you had to use different offsets to correct landscape output).
The new scheme also avoids spurious page-off-paper errors if relatively large
offsets have to be used to get printed output in the correct position.
The "Send to file" button in the print dialog now brings up the standard
file dialog so you can save PostScript code in a file somewhere other
than the current folder (on a floppy for instance).
Characters from a PostScript font are lowered by 1 pixel when printing
to make sure their baselines match the baselines of characters from a
bitmap font. (The change was made to the definition of S in DVItoPS.ps.)
Fixed a bug in the print and view dialogs that resulted in the landscape
option check box not necessarily agreeing with the actual paper dimensions.
Default buttons in various dialog buttons now remain outlined (they used to
disappear after returning from a screen saver).
More than one page per line is displayed in the OzTeX window when printing
a DVI file.
There is no longer a Restart button in the fatal error dialog box.
This option seemed pointless since virtually all fatal errors require
quitting OzTeX to fix the problem.
The Transfer item has been removed from the File menu (most people should
now be using MultiFinder or System 7).
"US Letter", "TRIP test" and "My Printer" have been added to the Configs
folder (and to the list of config files in the Default config file).
If the empty string ("") appeared in a config file's config/format/help list
then the the corresponding menu item would show as NUL. Now you'll see
a disabled separating line (see the new Config menu).
The way dimensions are displayed has been changed:
in/cm/pc dimensions are still shown to an accuracy of 1 decimal place,
but all the rest (mm,pt,bp,px) are rounded up to the nearest integer.
Maximum value of print/view resolution parameter is now 3000 (was 5000).
Added gentle.tex to the TeX-Docs folder. This is the source file for
"A Gentle Introduction to TeX" by Michael Doob. Newcomers to TeX might
find this book a useful companion to "The TeXbook".
Source code is no longer distributed with OzTeX 1.4, nor is the
OzTeX System Guide. If you want this stuff then send $40 to

GPO BOX 4, Canberra 2601, Australia
and enclose a 1.4Mb diskette (or two 800K diskettes) with a
