to be honest, is it worth the trouble of doing it with clever LaTeX
macros? wouldnt a sed script be faster to develop? the gross hacking
to a new chapter to get it into shape is about 10 mins work

separare lists of references at the end of articles is handled by
chapterbib.sty

Subject: How can I do Appendix page numbering such as "A.1"?


I am trying to number my appendices using a "A.1" etc style of numbering
but I cannot get it to work in practice!

After poking around in tex/inputs/latex.tex, I have tried defining my
own numbering style:

	\def\prefixedarabic#1{\@prefixedarabic{\@nameuse{c@#1}}}
	\def\@prefixedarabic#1{\c@chapter.\number #1}

And using:

	\appendix
	\pagenumbering{prefixedarabic}
	\chapter{There}

However TeX complains with:

Appendix A.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   .
\@prefixedarabic #1->\c@chapter .
			         \number #1
\@oddfoot ->\rm \hfil \thepage 
			       \hfil
...
l.27 \chapter
	     {There}

I have been trying this with the report style and suthesis style.
Has anyone done this or knows of a style with it in that I can copy?

Thanks,
	Richard

I've now solved my own problem with:

	\renewcommand{\thepage}{\Alpha{chapter}.\arabic{page}}

Its surprising how you can find the answer in the LaTeX book when
you get told where to look 8-).

Sorry to have bothered people!

Subject: \limits and raised subscripts

I'm slightly puzzled.

\def\dblA#1{\mathrel{\mathop{\rightarrow}_%
{\raise0.4ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle #1$}}}}

raises its subscript perfectly happily, as in $\dblA{\Delta}$ versus
$\mathrel{\mathop{\rightarrow}_{\Delta}}$. However, not only
does

\def\dblB#1{\mathrel{\mathop{\rightarrow}\limits_%
{\raise0.4ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle #1$}}}}

not raise its subscript, ($\dblB{\Delta}$ versus
$\mathrel{\mathop{\rightarrow}\limits_{\Delta}}$) neither does

\def\dblC#1{\mathrel{\mathop{\rightarrow}\limits_%
{\hbox{\raise0.4ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle #1$}}}}}

as $\dblC{\Delta}$ shows. Now I know the `right' answer is
probably a modification of overrightarrow (page 359, TeXbook),
but I want to know why limits is quite so ill--behaved; 13a
of Appendix G doesn't really make much sense to me.

} David_Rhead@uk.ac.nott.vme asks:

}  Does anyone have experience of this in practice?  If so, would they care to
}  publish the recipe (i.e., a list of the PostScript commands that twoside
}  would need to write to the dvi file)?  I'm not clear how one would modify
}  the example given on page 255 of the reference manual (and the "PostScript
}  Tutorial and Cookbook" seems to have been published before duplex printers
}  came along).  It looks as though the recipe might be quite short, but that
}  I'd need to understand a lot to deduce it.

I don't have the dvips manual so can't comment on the example on page 255.

I have recently assembled software to put plaintext onto paper on various
PostScript printers and suggest the following guidelines:

1) You need to allow the user to specify the *final* format (one sided or
   two sided), since it is reasonable to print on a single sided printer
   and use a photocopier to produce double sided final copy. Remember that
   if your (user's) photocopier will not cope with double sided input you
   need to permit your user to format for double sided and print single
   sided even if the printer will print double sided.


2) Commands - found in statusdict - are:
       true/false setduplexmode    -- print to both sides of the paper
       true/false settumble        -- bind along short edge (not long)

   Note these commands are printer specific, and are valid on the duplex
   printers I have encountered. However duplex printers existed before 
   Adobe started laying down ideas on how to use them, so some printers
   may use other command names.


3) Your double sided printer may well default to printing double sided
   and need to be instructed when to print single sided. Either way you
   will want the `setduplexmode' operator. (true for double sided)


4) When using double-sided mode the paper will normally take the long
   edge of the paper as the bound edge. You can select the short edge as
   the binding edge using the `settumble' operator. (true for short edge)


5) You should allow the file be printable on any printer -- check that the
   command exists before using it:

   statusdict begin /setduplexmode known {pop true setduplexmode}if end
   statusdict begin /settumble known {pop true settumble}if end


6) These modes, but not the commands, are described in the second edition
   of the `PostScript Language Reference Manual', available (for purchase)
   at a good bookshop near you, and (for inspection) on my bookshelf.


7) Try to reduce confusion by using the following terms in your documentation:

 simplex normal  -- final product is single sided and bound along long edge
 simplex tumble  -- final product is single sided and bound along short edge
 duplex normal   -- final product is double sided and bound along long edge
 duplex tumble   -- final product is double sided and bound along short edge

 print one-sided    -- print on one side of the paper
 print two-sided    -- print on two sides of the paper
 print three-sided  -- print up both sides and down the middle

also can people *please* realize that the distributed font libraries are
made, i assume, with all.mfj - this build evey font in every magstep
and is way over the top for normal use (at least in my opinion). i 
built my own fonts using an .mfj file i constructed to build about the`
same set of fonts as covered by the makefiles in the UNIX TeX distribution
which i think is a more sensible size. my font library is only 500k.

the only disadvantage is that you have to rebuild the fonts yourself
... but this is not a mamoth task - on my 386sx-16 its less than overnight.

an MF but it does not appear to be availbale for the linotronic at 1270 dpi

msxm and msym appear in the amsfonts for 300dpi, can I use these but the
linotronic ones are pxk files. What do I do with these?

yes, I am not surprised it is a funnyformat. I put it there primarily

Subject: guru help on floats in LaTeX?



Can anyone solve this one for me? I have defined an environment
sideways, and a new type of float called rotfloat. now, according to
my reading of latex.tex, the contents of the float is in \@currbox, so
I rotate this and put the result in a box called \rot@tempbox, and add
it to the \@currlist like the normal float.

This runs, the \typeout does its stuff, but NOTHING ever appears. why
not? where is it? answers gratefully received, pliz

Subject: Eplain 2.0 released

I have released Eplain version 2.0.  It is available by ftp from

  ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{eplain/*,eplain.tar.Z}
   ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1]:TeX/eplain/eplain-2.0.tar.Z

      { Or from the UK TeX Archive --- see Sebastian's note below  --Ed. }

You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's file server if you
cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of something like 
`SENDME EPLAIN.EPLAIN_TEX'.  (George will be posting a message with more
details soon.)

It has been almost a year since Eplain 1.9.  As you might expect, there
are many changes.  (Many bugs have concomitantly been introduced, I
expect.)  As far as I know, the changes are all upward-compatible.
Here are some of the highlights:

In btxmac:
* generally more configurable
* numeric labels are right-justified
* spaces are ignored before optional arguments
* page breaks are disallowed (by default) before the bibliography
* support for multiple bibliographies
* works (insofar as possible) with AMSTeX

In eplain:
* includes Steven Smith's ``arrow.tex'', a set of macros for producing
  commutative diagrams
* includes Nelson Beebe's texnames.sty to define the various names of
  TeXware
* a \verbatim macro to typeset inline verbatim stuff
* lists are more configurable
* the justification commands handle text on the same line as the command
* support for subequations like (1.1a), (1.1b)
* a new and (I hope) more robust implementation of \leftdisplays

For those (no doubt many) of you who haven't heard of Eplain: it
is a collection of macros intended to provide relatively low-level
capabilities, regardless of how your document appears.  For example, it
has macros to do symbolic cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a
section heading.  It also has some definitions that make it easier to
change the conventions of plain TeX's output.  For example, it lets you
produce left-justified math displays by simply saying `\leftdisplays'.

Since we are the main mail repository (with ftp access for the individual

The EPLAIN package includes the macros for version 2.0 (March 5, 1992) of
Karl Berry's <karl@cs.umb.edu> Eplain for TeX.  The eplain macro package
expands on the definitions in plain TeX.  Eplain is not intended to provide
"intensional" typesetting capabilities, like LaTeX or Texinfo.  Instead, it
provides definitions that are intended to be useful regardless of the
high-level commands that you use when you actually prepare your manuscript.

To retrieve the complete EPLAIN package of 78 files, include the command:
 SENDME EPLAIN
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say
EPLAIN.OUTER_TEX, use the command:
 SENDME EPLAIN.OUTER_TEX
in your MAIL message to FILESERV.  Anonymous ftp users can find these files
on Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory [.EPLAIN].  A compressed
U*ix tar (EPLAIN-2_0.TAR_Z) file is in this directory also.

Subject: version 1.2 of Sauter files (any point size Computer Modern)

I've again updated my packaging for Unix of John Sauter's Metafont files
to make Computer Modern fonts at any point size.  You can get version
1.2 by ftp from

  ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z.

This version puts in the bold-math.mf file that I somehow left out last
time.  It also adds two files to make the LaTeX symbol and bold symbol
fonts, contributed by Friedrich Haubensak, hsk@infko.uni-koblenz.de.

For all of the standard Computer Modern fonts, these files produce the
same TFM files as Knuth's sources.  So it is ok to call the output from
these `cm...'.

The distribution includes an lfonts.tex for LaTeX and a MakeTeXPK for
dvips which take advantage of these fonts.

Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.

                                  ------
The EPLAIN package includes the macros for version 2.0 (March 5, 1992) of
Karl Berry's <karl@cs.umb.edu> Eplain for TeX.  The eplain macro package
expands on the definitions in plain TeX.  Eplain is not intended to provide
"intensional" typesetting capabilities, like LaTeX or Texinfo.  Instead, it
provides definitions that are intended to be useful regardless of the
high-level commands that you use when you actually prepare your manuscript.
