If you are unable to help then please accept my apologies for bothering you. I am trying to use LATEX with a postscript printer and include encapsulated postscript graph files. Unfortunately our system here at the Meteorological Research Flight does not have the necessary DVI2PS command files and associated sub-directories. I would much appreciate it if you could let me know where I can acquire the necessary files which will need to run in VAX VMS. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you. My e-mail address (which sometimes works) is CBS%OX.ATM.ISAMS::"HOOKE::ICARUS::TAYLOR" If that route fails then a fax on 0252 376588 would be very helpful.

I.e. either you put your source through a C-compiler to obtain a program, or you feed the source into TeX, which will convert your C-program into a nicely formatted document -- formatting your C program fragments and all comment, which have to be written in a certain style. Alas, I am not able to find that article again. Is there somebody out there who can help me to trace that article and/or to locate the respective TeX/LaTeX option style files in the archive?

(I dont want to do it - just curious) This is a common problem which can be easily solved via a style file option named fancyheadings.sty. The fancyheadings options allow you to include three part headers and footers (spanning multiple lines if you wish), as well as rules below headers and above footers if you wish. Also, it allows you to define how you want LaTeX to handle \thispagestyle{plain} in your document. This is quite possibly the single most useful style option available for customization of your output. Alternately, a similar (but slightly more limited) style option file named headerfooter.sty will do a somewhat parallel job. Both work for all major styles I have come across. These files are available from just about every archive I am aware of and I am sure that they are available from TeXServer@TeX.ac.uk (don't know where; hopefully one of the people responsible for the very fine UKTeX Digest and Aston archives will append something below this about TeXServer availability). I will point out that they are also available via e-mail by including the commands: SENDME STY.FANCYHEADINGS SENDME STY.HEADERFOOTER on separate lines in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). For more information about FILESERV, include the command HELP on its own line in the body of your mail message to it. If you have any questions, please contact me directly.

Thanks for the table Phil, I was the asking member. What does it actually mean? Are these printings/dates the threshold beyond which the books reflect V3? They look more like just the current printings as I think it was the 18th spiral bound TeXbook that had the changes in. Or do we just assume that as all the dates are in 1991, after the changes were made, then the books will automatically be up to date?

What I want is a page, with no numbers, and a single, centred header on each page. This header is the title of the paper. ... Also, is there anyway to get BOTH a header and a footer in LaTeX? Or is this such a crime against good taste and style that it is impossible? (I dont want to do it - just curious) ============================== I have had the same difficulty and though, not being a true LaTeXpert, I had the courage to dig around the style files. The answer to Ian's question is in the following extract from article.sty (re-formated by me): \def\ps@myheadings{ \def\@oddhead{\hbox{}\sl\rightmark \hfil\rm\thepage} \def\@oddfoot{} \def\@evenhead{\rm \thepage\hfil\sl\leftmark\hbox{}} \def\@evenfoot{} \def\sectionmark##1{} \def\subsectionmark##1{} } All LaTeX lets you do via myheadings lets you do is to define \rightmark and \leftmark, but LaTeX knows best, so it MUST be accompanied by a page number! The solution is easy. create a new style file, say, mymyhead.sty with the above definitions suitably modified (note you can add footers too!). A true LaTeXie would change \ps@myheadings to, say, \ps@mymyhead. Also, since it's obvious you're going to use this, you might as well do so within the style file, i.e., at to the end (outside the definging group) \ps@mymyhead Then invoke as, eg., \documentstyle[mymyhead]{article}. Note that you don't need to bother with \rightmark, etc., as you can hard-wire in anything you need right in the definition. There may be more elegant solutions, and there may be those who would say that you shouldn't fool around hacking like this, but I am only interested, like Ian, in getting the job done the way I want it done!

From Michael D Poole MA DPhil 3 Bucklands Batch Nailsea Bristol BS19 2PQ Thank you for your reply dated 24th September to my enquiry about TeX dated 19th September. I am disappointed that you were unable to answer my specific point about the HP Deskjet 500 printer. You mention the HP Laserjet printer -- do you know if this is driven by HP PCL ASCII escape sequences? If so I may be able to make your software drive my printer.

But my needs are rather special. I wrote to Mr Chris Rowley. He did reply to my letter but he did not have the information I need. He also sent me a copy of the Baskerville and a membership application form. It was from the Baskerville that I found your name and address. Since I do not live far from Aston, I can easily come to your department and talk to some expert. Briefly, my needs are related to my academic training and present job. I am a linguist and at present I teach Asian languages, translation and interpretation and multi-lingual wordprocessing in Bilston Community College, Wolverhampton. I need to print International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols as well as in Asian languages like Hindi, Panjebi, Gujareti and Bengali. All these scripts are left-to-right scripts like the European scripts. But there as so many combinations of letters and `accents' that the combinations cannot be created as conjunct letters like the German umlaut characters. An example is the combination of -- and -- which appears as -- or that of -- and -- as --. I do not think anyone has created -- fonts for use with TeX. But I am prepared to learn to use METAFONT if it is technically capable of designing screen and printer fonts for IPA and --- scripts. I shall be grateful if you let me know whether METAFONT and TeX have got anything for me. If they have, I can visit your department in Aston to learn about details. My college telephone is 0902 353929 (ext 145) or 0902 353877 (ext 220).

The meeting will be held in the Department for Continuing Education, Rewley House, Wellington Square, Oxford. Wellington Square is about 5 minutes walk from the bus station and some 10--15 minutes walk from the railway station: the best route is via Beaumont Street. Those driving to Oxford are advised to use the park-and-ride service, as there is no parking in central Oxford. The meeting will begin at 11.00, with registration and coffee from 10.30. 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 meeting of \pounds 15 for members of \uktug, and \pounds 20 for non-members. A booking form has been sent to members. OUTLINE This meeting is primarily about macro packages for use with TeX or LaTeX. Kostis Dryllerakis will talk about a set of macros which work with plain and LaTeX to allow the input of Greek in a more comprehensive way. Jonathan Fine will talk about the need for flexibility in TeX and LaTeX and about macros that ease the construction of complicated control structure. Rod Mulvey will talk about the CUP macros. Paul Taylor will talk about the commutative macros for which he distributed some information at the February LaTeX3 meeting. Chris Rowley will present something on the LaTeX3 project. And others ... There will be an opportunity to put questions to each of the speakers.
