Subject: Bug in PSBOOK documentation.
Fetched MOREBIN.BOO from Aston and unpacked PS utilities.
Programs work, but slight problem with documentation in
PSBOOK.TEX which is a LaTeX input file.
As supplied, under PSTOPS section it reads:
...
Documents, including arranging for printing 2-up, 4-up, booklets, reversing,
selecting front or back sides of documents, scaling, etc.
{\em pagespecs} follow the syntax:
\begin{tabbing}
\={\em pagespecs} \=xxx{\em = [modulo:]specs} \kill
\>{\em pagespecs} {\em \>= [modulo:]specs} \\
\>{\em specs} {\em\>= spec[+specs][,specs]}\\
\>{\em spec} {\em \>= [-]pageno[@scale][L][R][U][(xoff,yoff)]} \\
\end{tabbing}
...
and the output lines show ONLY the words,
pagespecs
specs
spec
(No mention of modulo, which is how I picked up that the next sentence
didn't follow on.
Apart from expecting that the author will want to correct the document,
I'm puzzled as to why the rest of each line doesn't get printed. There
are no error messages and I don't think it's invisibly off the page.
I got it to print by hacking the second tab outside the group:
...
{\em pagespecs} follow the syntax:
\begin{tabbing}
\hspace*{.5in} \={\em pagespecs} \=xxx{\em = [modulo:]specs} \kill
\>{\em pagespecs} \>{\em = [modulo:]specs} \\
\>{\em specs} \>{\em = spec[+specs][,specs]}\\
\>{\em spec} \>{\em = [-]pageno[@scale][L][R][U][(xoff,yoff)]} \\
\end{tabbing}
...
and added some left-space for neatness.
For the record, this was processed with emTeX using the "old" LaTeX.

Subject: Latex to run on an IBM PC under Windows 3.0/3.1
Dear Mr Abbott,
Further to our telephone conversation this afternoon, I would be most
grateful if you would kindly pass on my query to any members of the TeX
Users Group who may be familiar with the commercially available
implementations of TeX/LaTeX, specifically for use in MS Windows 3.0/3.1.
I would like to know:
1) Can TeX, printer Drivers, and Previewers be bought separately, mixed and
used together (eg can one use ArbourText's Priewiewer and a CTex
Laserjet driver with the PCTeX implementation)?
2) Which is the `best' LaTeX implementation and, the `best' Laserjet driver
for a PC?
3) Can any of the Previewers that are available be used under MS Windows
3.0/3.1, and if so which one do you recommended?
4) Are there any organisations that provide a service to produce typeset
quality printing of TeX files?
I would also be grateful for any other information that may seem relevant,
including addresses, prices, and any recent product reviews/references. I
am familiar with actually using LaTeX and have already come across a useful
review article `TeXnology on the IBM PC' by T L Pappas (August 1989,
Computer) which compares the PCTeX, ArbourText and CTeX products. However,
its information is now a little dated and it does not mention running TeX
in Windows.
Thank you for your help,
Creigh McNeil

Aston University and London University both have Linotronic equipment and are
willing to print bromide or film. Aston will accept dvi or TeX/LaTeX files for

there are almost no advantages to using the commercial implementations
of TeX for a PC, so far as I know. On a Mac, there are some features
in (say) TeXtures which might make you prefer that, but I think the
public domain emTeX is pretty state of the art for a PC

yes. but you might spend a while setting configuration files and
environment variables, which could be confusing if you are unfamiliar
with all the TeX-related files

those contained in the emTeX package, in my view

in full-screen mode, any (I think). if you want genuine Windows
windows with your previewing, the only one I know of is dviwindo, from
Y&Y in Massaschusetts, which uses ATM to provide preview of
PostScript fonts. see adverts in Tugboat, the journal of the TeX Users Group
> 4) Are there any organisations that provide a service to produce typeset

I'd recommend you use a dvi to PostScript driver, and then you can
send files to any of the PostScript bureaux.
> I would also be grateful for any other information that may seem relevant,

if you can find Tugboat back issues in a library near you, there are
many product adverts in their pages

major problem with Windows and the otherwise brilliant emTeX is that
Windows doesnt support the way emTeX wants to use memory for its
386-specific binaries. you dont have to use the latter, but they
provide a bigger, faster TeX, and at present you have to run plain DOS
to get the best effect. the author of emTeX believes OS/2 is The Biz,
so doesnt plan to do much to help. He may be right

again, inspection of tugboat will reveal a number
of organisations willing to typeset TeX material,
some from dvi even.
if you stick to PS fonts (which can include CM),
then your local friendly PS bureau might be
able to do it. see a recent MacUser for many
of the pitfalls involved in giving a local

Richard Kinch (the Kinch Computer Organisation, producers of Turbo-TeX/MF)
was reputed to be working on a Windows version, but I don't know if it's
yet available. For all normal purposes, Eberhard Mattes' `emTeX', running
directly under DOS, is hard to beat.

Almost certainly emTeX.

DVIwindo, from Y&Y, is the only Win-3 previewer of which I am aware;

The University of London Computer Centre will typeset to bromide or film
at 635, 1270 or 12540 dpi from DVI files or PostScript.

Subject: \topmargin in LaTeX
I cannot see the logic in LaTeX in having \topmargin measure the amount of
space above the header, rather than above the text rectangle. It makes it
unduly difficult to get style files to interact properly with one another.
What is a style file that wishes to set a 1in margin around the text rectangle,
whether or not the user wishes headers and footers, supposed to do, for
instance? A style that produces a logo at a fixed position on a page also
has extra work to do. Sometimes
\documentstyle[style1,style2,...
and
\documentstyle[style2,style1,...
will produce different effects.
Could this problem be seriously considered in LaTeX3? My choice would be to
have headers within the 1in+\topmargin space and footers below the
1in+\topmargin+\textheight space.

Subject: Corrupted OzTeX files
I, too, have had problems with binhex'd OzTeX files from the latest release,
as stored in the archive. If the problem is, indeed, that the last line is
missing from each .hqx file (presumably because not padded to a fixed line
length), could some kind person with a working copy of each of the files
post the LAST LINE only of each one. Then enthusiasts could manually add
these to the files they've already downloaded, and save a good few Mb of
network activity through repeated attempts to download the stuff!

Subject: FLOAT on FILESERV/Niord
Maybe I've overlooked something very seriously, but I never recall this
being announced previously anywhere and didn't find it it anywhere but
Stuttgart (didn't look real hard though). I came across a great LaTeX
style option while looking around in the rusinfo archives, which I have
used a few times and am very pleased with -- Anselm Lingnau's
<lingnau@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de> float package. Attached is the
description file from FILESERV.
- --George
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
FLOAT
-----
The FLOAT package includes the files of Anselm Lingnau's
<lingnau@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de> float package -- An Improved
Environment for Floats -- (version 1.0b; 28 January 1992). This style
option improves the interface for defining floating objects such as figures
and tables in LaTeX. It adds the notion of a `float style' that governs
appearance of floats. New kinds of floats may be defined using a \newfloat
command analogous to \newtheorem.
Among the features of LaTeX are `floating' figures and tables that drift
from where they appear in the input text to, say, the top of a page. The
contents and formatting of floats is pretty much up to the user, except
that there is a \caption command that governs formatting of the caption --
it is centered if it is short, and formatted as a paragraph if it is longer
than a single line of text. Sometimes other types of floating objects,
e.g., algorithms or programs, are desirable, but they must be defined by
analogy to the existing floats since there is no simple command for doing
this. This goes beyond the knowledge or inclination of the average LaTeX
user.
This style option presents an interface to floating objects that attempts
to fix some of these shortcomings. First of all, it introduces the notion
of a `float style'. A float style governs the appearance of a class of
floats like a page style governs the appearance of a page (LaTeX has page
styles plain, empty and headings, among others). This style option
provides some exemplary float styles:
o plain -- This is the float style that LaTeX normally applies to its
floats, i.e., nothing in particular. The only difference is
that the caption comes out below the body of the float,
regardless of where it is given in the text.
o boxed -- The body of the float is printed inside a box. The caption
goes below that box.
o ruled -- This float style is patterned on the table style of Concrete
Mathematics. The caption is printed at the top of the float,
surrounded by rules; another rule finishes off the float.
The most important command in float.sty is the \newfloat command. As
mentioned above, it is patterned on \newtheorem. The use of \newfloat
allows the user to create their own floats, as well as supporting a
user-defined \listof listing for these floats (analogous to \listoftables),
sectional numbering, default positioning by float, the standard LaTeX
positioning parameters, and the standard *-forms which produce doube column
floats.
To retrieve the entire package of 5 files, include:
SENDME FLOAT
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
To retrieve a specific file, such as FLOAT.FLOAT_DOC, include:
SENDME FLOAT.FLOAT_DOC
in your mail message to FILESERV. For users desiring anonymous ftp
retrieval, these files, along with a ZIP archive file containing this
package, are available in the [.FLOAT] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu

Subject: OzTeX 1.42 in UK TeX Archive (again)
A few people reported problems with the OzTeX 1.42 distribution
(which I hadn't noticed, presumably due to using HyperFTP and MacTCP
on my Mac to transfer the files). I think this was due to the BinHex
files not being encoded with embedded linefeeds and thereby causing
the Archive copies to be truncated at the last line. Apologies for
difficulties anyone experienced.
I have re-encoded the StuffIt archives and re-installed them in the
Archive in [tex-archive.tex.mac.oztex]
In the meantime, if you fetched the BinHex files and find that StuffIt
complains that the files is incomplete, and the StuffIt archives are
corrupt, it's probably due to the last line being omitted from the
file you fetched from the Archive. To save the trouble of having to
fetch the files again, here are the last lines of each BinHexed file,
which you could paste to the end of the appropriate BinHex file before
decoding it. Brian McMahon <bm@uk.ac.iucr> kindly tried this for me
and reported that it works (thanks, Brian).
