Subject: Sauter's true-size MF for Unix
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I've updated my packaging for Unix of John Sauter's Metafont files to make
true-size Computer Modern fonts. You can get it by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z.
This version includes a modified lfonts.tex from LaTeX 1 Dec 91 (you can
get this by ftp from archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]:TEX/TEX3/latex).
Also a modified MakeTeXPK from dvips which tries to make these fonts at
different magnifications when necessary (you can get dvips from
labrea.stanford.edu, in pub/dvips*.tar.Z).
The other change was rearranging things to keep the filenames less than
14 characters, for system V.
Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.

Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
No, still C. (But the new code parts are designed modular ;-)
That's good. The old program was horrendous.
(Eg, a raw index entry "{\sc Knuth, Don}" may be sorted
as "Knuth, Don" or as "Knuth Don" without additional author
invention; ie, the author does not need to specify this as an
additional sort key.)
That's good. I had to play lots of games with my macros to get this to
work right.
Well, can you tell me what the purpose of tex-archive is (at the
moment)? I once believed it was for announcements of stuff which
should be put on common archives.
But is this really so? If yes, only programs? LaTeX styles?
As I understand it, anything at all that is TeX related. No one has
complained about my announcements on the things I maintain: eplain,
web2c, modes.mf, and font naming, which is a pretty broad range of
stuff. Ephemera is also fair game, like my modified MusicTeX.
Nelson, correct me if I'm wrong here.

The Sauter build/cmcsc file can produce errors in the log file at

For larger point sizes similar changes in other parameters may
be needed.

Reply-To: Schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE
Organization: Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum fuer Informationstechnik Berlin
After the release of the LaTeX sources last month I have received some
bug reports. The two most critical points were bibliographies (which
led to strange error messages when they had more than 26 entries) and the
titlepage style option (which did not work any more).
Therefore I had release a corrected version. It is, as usual, on
rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.1.12] (soft/tex/latex)
and
LISTSERV@DHDURZ1.BITNET
For the benefit of those that have Larry wall's patch program I have
put a file called LaTeX-Dec91-Jan92.diff into the Stuttgart archive.
I append the readme for the update.
One final remark: it was reported that there was one line in
lfonts.tex with more than 80 characters. Therefore I broke this line
into two and recommend that you either do the same or fetch this file
as well.
Rainer Sch"opf
PS: ``I sincerely hope there won't be any more!''
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LaTeX version 2.09 -- Release of Jan 14, 1992
---------------------------------------------
After the release of Dec91 a number of errors and incompatibilities
were reported. In particular, the titlepage option of the article
document style did no longer work, and there were two problems with
the thebibliography environment:
- Documents with more than 26 entries would produce strange error messages.
- Styles derived from article would produce wrong numbers.
These errors (and a few minor ones) have been corrected.
The files changed are (see also LATEX.BUG for more details):
latex.tex

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 1.0 by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z.
Like the previous version of a few weeks ago, this includes a modified

The other change was rearranging things to keep the filenames less than
14 characters, for system V, and not in subdirectories.
This version also incorporates a change to cmcsc from Wayne Sullivan.
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...'.
Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.

Sure did (thanks!). Include the commands from above on unique lines in the
body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu) and you
will get everything David discussed. If you have ftp access, the *.STY
files are in the the directory [.STY], array in in the directory [.ARRAY]
and multicol is in the directory [.MULTICOL] all on Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8).
Thanks to David for the update and the new file (been looking for something
like tabularx for some time now). If you have anything you would like to
contribute to the archives, please send them to STY-Mgr@SHSU.edu. Also, if
you would like more information about FILESERV, include the command HELP in
your message.

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.

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).
Regards (and thanks again, Peter!), George

Subject: REVTEX (v 2.1) now on FILESERV
Chris Hamlin <hamlin@aps.org> forwarded me the files for the American
Physical Society's REVTEX, version 2.1. Although not all files in the
distribution have changed from version 2.0, it is recommended by the APS
that users retrieve all files in this new version. I am attaching
FILESERV's description file for your reference. For ftp users, these files
are in the [.REVTEX] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).

===========================================================================
REVTEX
------
The REVTEX package includes the 10 files necessary for version 2.1 of
REVTEX, the American Physical Society's macro package that runs on top of
LaTeX. REVTEX produces Physical Review style, which is used by authors for
submission and by the APS for production in its author-prepared program.
All needed instructions for use are contained in the REVTEX.README file and
in the accompanying documentation.
You may retrieve the entire package of 10 files by including the command:
SENDME REVTEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
A complete distribution of this version of REVTEX requires all 10 files in
this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should
only need one of these files, say REVTEX.README, use the command:
SENDME REVTEX.README
in your MAIL message to FILESERV.
Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)

Subject: Sauter CM version 1.1 released
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
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
1.1 by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z.
This version fixes a bug in generating the cmsy fonts I introduced in 1.0.
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.

%%% \topcropmark = <dimen> [plus <dimen>] [minus <dimen>]
%%% \bottomcropmark = <dimen> [plus <dimen>] [minus <dimen>]
%%% \leftcropmark = <dimen> [plus <dimen>] [minus <dimen>]

%%% \lrcropmarkstrue ;;; iff you want alternating left and right cropmarks only
%%% \rvcropmarkstrue ;;; iff you want recto and verso specified independently
%%% (in which case the first four variables are two-valued
%%% as \recto<var> and \verso<var>).
%%% Square brackets indicate optional items, and the <dimen>s are
%%% respectively (and all measured w.r.t. the origin, which is the
%%% top left corner of the notional, rather than physical page; the
%%% exact origin will need to be determined by inspection)
%%% The distance to the centre of the cross;
%%% The distance which the cross extends beyond the page limits;
%%% The distance which the cross extends within the page limits.
%%% Any or all can be zero <unit>s. For conventional (exo-) cropmarks, the
%%% `plus' component indicates the length of the mark, and the `minus' component
%%% should be omitted or zero. For inverted (endo-) cropmarks, the `plus'
%%% component should be omitted or zero, and the `minus' component indicates the
%%% length of the mark. `Plus' and `minus' components will never be negative;
%%% the first and only mandatory component may be negative to cope with

Subject: modes.mf 0.9 released
I have released version 0.9 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/modes.mf
You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
file server if you cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of
`sendme modes'. It is about 42K.
This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
definitions for write-white printers and `special' information.
This version has several changes:
* qms and LN01 are now write/white
* the landscape macro calls fix_units
* definitions for both write/white and write/black SparcPrinters
* new modes for the IBM3179, IBM3193, and Atari96 devices.
Also minor fixes in several other definitions.
Thanks to issue@vax.oxford.ac.uk for a close reading of modes.mf and the
many fixes resulting.
If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
existing ones, please send them to me.

Subject: modes.mf 0.9 released
I have released version 0.9 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/modes.mf
You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
file server if you cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of
`sendme modes'. It is about 42K.
This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
definitions for write-white printers and `special' information.
This version has several changes:
* qms and LN01 are now write/white
* the landscape macro calls fix_units
* definitions for both write/white and write/black SparcPrinters
* new modes for the IBM3179, IBM3193, and Atari96 devices.
Also minor fixes in several other definitions.
Thanks to issue@vax.oxford.ac.uk for a close reading of modes.mf and the
many fixes resulting.
If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
existing ones, please send them to me.

Subject: dcolumn.sty -- decimal alignment in tabular and array
David Carlisle <carlisle@computer-science.manchester.ac.uk> kindly
forwarded me his new dcolumn.sty, which defines D to be an array or tabular
column lined up on a `decimal point'. David understands (and I can report
>From experience) that the existing decalign.sty does not work within the
context of Frank Mittelbach's array.sty (the existing dectab.sty is
inconsistent, at least in my experience).
There is user-level control over the separator used in the .tex file, and
in the printed output (i.e, it may be defined to any character, not
necessarily only ``.''). This style is a creative example of the
\newcolumn system for defining new column types set up in David's
newarray.sty (which is required for the use of dcolumn, was also recently
announced, and is available from here as well, should you need it). To
retrieve dcolumn.sty, include the command:
SENDME STY.DCOLUMN
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If you need [a] newarray.sty, [b] Mittelbach's array package to create his
array.sty (both are required to use dcolumn), or [c] the doc.sty file from
Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf's multicol package (needed to create
the documentation for all of the above), include the respective commands
shown below on unique lines of your mail message to FILESERV:
SENDME STY.NEWARRAY
SENDME ARRAY
SENDME MULTICOL.DOC_STY
For anonymous ftp users, the files are on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) as
[.STY]STY.DCOLUMN, [.STY]STY.NEWARRAY, all files in the [.ARRAY] directory,
and [.MULTICOL]MULTICOL.DOC_STY.

In <00955BF5.5E146DC0.28266@SHSU.edu> (Thu, 06 Feb 1992 10:16:08 CST), I
announced the availability of Peter Ungar's <LAXA@ACFcluster.NYU.EDU>
CROPMARK TeX macro from FILESERV/Niord. He has subsequently passed along a
slightly different version (cleaner and fixed a few bugs) which is now
available. To retrieve Peter's 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).
Interestingly, while I had seen no TeX macros for achieving cropmarks but
had fielded a few requests, soon after I announced Peter's file, Philip
Taylor <P.Taylor@vax.rhbnc.ac.uk> forwarded me yet another TeX macro for
cropmarks, which is named CROPMARKS. To retrieve Philip's file via e-mail,
include the command: ^
SENDME STY.CROPMARKS_TEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For ftp users, these files are in the [.STY] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8).

Subject: ASAETR package update on FILESERV/Niord
James Darrell McCauley <jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu> kindly forwarded me a
major update to his ASAETR files. The files were previously included in
the STY package/directory. The set has become adequately large to warrant
a unique package, so one was created for your access and the prior versions
removed.
--George
===========================================================================
ASAETR
------
The ASAETR package includes the 8 files (distributed in 11 parts) necessary
for version 1.0 of James Darrell McCauley's set of LaTeX and BibTeX styles,
with documentation, to make your articles look like those in Transactions
of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE). This is not
official and not (yet) an accepted way to submit articles to ASAE.
The American Society of Agricultural Engineers editorial staff encourages
authors to submit electronic manuscripts in the following formats:
MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works (preferably Version 2.0), WordPerfect (Version
5.0 or later), and WriteNow. Though LaTeX is not an accepted format to
submit articles to ASAE, it does have utility when predicting page length
and appearance of an article that you submit. Predicting page length is
especially important when submitting "Technical Notes" (which cannot exceed
two pages) and when trying to avoid unnecessary page charges.
You may retrieve the entire package of 11 files by including the command:
SENDME ASAETR
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
A complete distribution of this version of ASAETR requires all 10 files in
this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should
only need one of these files, say ASAETR.MANIFEST, use the command:
SENDME ASAETR.MANIFEST
in your MAIL message to FILESERV.
For users of anonymous ftp, these files are available from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in the directory [.ASAETR] and the PostScript file is
retained in one part as ASAETR_FTP.PS.

Subject: HARVARD family of bibliographic styles on FILESERV
Peter Williams has patiently worked with me as I have gotten his HARVARD
family of bibliographic styles arranged as a package for FILESERV/Niord.
While these meet the specific needs of the bibliographic styles indicated,
his extension of \citeasnoun in HARVARD.STY which is passed along for
processing in BeaST language is interesting and quite useful. The
HARVARD.TEX and HARVARD.BIB files provides excellent documentation for this
family of new files, which are consistent with BibTeX 0.99a or later.
Attached is the description file FILESERV will maintain for this package.
I extend my thanks to Peter for his efforts.

HARVARD
-------
The HARVARD package includes the 6 files of Peter Williams'
<peterw@archsci.arch.su.OZ.AU> Harvard family of bibliographic styles.
There are two primary forms of citation in the Harvard style, dependent
upon whether the reference is used as a noun or parenthetically. To
facilitate using a citation as a noun a new command \citeasnoun has been
created which has the same syntax as the \cite command except that multiple
citations are not permitted. Additionally, where there are more than two
authors, all authors are listed in the first citation and in subsequent
citations just the first author's name followed by `et al.' is used. Where
appropriate, citations are abbreviated automatically after the first
reference when bibliographies are produced by BibTeX. Provision is also
made for this feature to be accessed during manual coding.
There are three bibliography styles currently available within the Harvard
family, AGSM (which is based on "Style Manual for authors editors and
printers of Australian government publications"), DCU (which is based upon
the conventions in use in the Design Computing Unit, Department of
Architectural and Design Science, University of Sydney), and KLUWER (which
aspires to conform to the requirements of Kluwer Academic Publishers).
They are invoked by the \bibliographystyle within LaTeX and effect the
layout of the entries in the bibliography.
You may retrive the entire package of six files by including the command:
SENDME HARVARD
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only need one file, say, HARVARD.DCU_STY,
include the command:
SENDME HARVARD.DCU_STY
in your request to FILESERV. These files are available for anonymous ftp
retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [.HARVARD].

Subject: dcolumn.sty announcement -- correction and apologies
In <009567CB.8D770FA0.9837@SHSU.edu> (Fri, 21 Feb 1992 11:45:45 CST), I
posted an announcement about David Carlisle's dcolumn.sty. In it, I said:
> If you need ... or [c] the doc.sty file from
> Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf's multicol package (needed to create
> the documentation for all of the above), include the respective commands
> shown below on unique lines of your mail message to FILESERV:
> ...
> SENDME MULTICOL.DOC_STY
Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl> properly pointed out in article
<1992Feb24.133618.19179@cs.ruu.nl> posted to comp.text.tex (and on to
ctt-Digest) on 24 Feb 92 13:36:18 GMT:
> The doc.sty forbids distribution of itself outside of the complete multicol
> package.
And subsequently, David posted to me in a private note:
> I thought of [only retrieving the DOC.STY file alone], but unfortunately
> doc.sty unconditionally inputs multicol.sty, this is for the index. My
> files do not produce an index, as distributed, and every page only has one
> column, but there on line 329, we have \input{multicol.sty}, so people need
> the whole package. perhaps the comments in the template I use for my files
> should be changed to `if you have Mittelbach's MULTICOL package ...' Or we
> could get FM to re-organise things so that multicolumn.sty is only input if
> needed.
Therefore, be it resolved:
1. The proper (and requisite) command is *not* SENDME MULTICOL.DOC_STY; it
properly is SENDME MULTICOL in the body of a mail message to
FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu);
2. I, too, know how to read and it is patently obvious in all of the files
associated with MULTICOL that the package, in whole, is supposed to be
distributed at one time -- I screwed up by trying to save a little
bandwidth and I apologize for my ignorance;
3. I extend my sincerest apologies to both Frank and Rainer for suggesting
that the single file out of any of their packages be retrieved
individually -- I will never do this again; and finally,
4. I extend my sincerest apologies to anyone who retrieved only those
files I identified and were unable to properly process the documentation.
Might I suggest that, since an increasing number of authors are using
doc.sty for documentation (a welcome movement since it is impossible to
fetch a style without its documentation -- the largest cause of user error)
and is a movement I personally wish was better documented for others to
use, as well, that a DOC package be considered for development which is
wholly independent of MULTICOL? Ideally, I guess I'm suggesting that it be
capable of both including (for the use of authors) and extracting (for the
use of end users) documentation. Possibly this already exists; if so,
please pass it along to me or tell me where to fetch it from (with all the
appropriate and requisite files 8-)).
Regards and apologies once again, George

dear archivists and michael ferguson,
attached is some correspondence i've just had with bernard gaulle,
which in turn includes copies of some correspondence i've had with
someone who posted an inquiry to info-tex on a similar topic.
there are several important points here.
- not all archives are equal (this is not meant in any pejorative
sense, and i don't propose that there be any effort to try to
make them so).
- labrea is not, and is not likely to be, up to date for much of
anything not created directly by knuth.
- some, perhaps many, files in various archives do not include
clear identification of where they came from, or where the
canonical version can be found. this makes it difficult for
someone wishing to retrieve the latest version to know where
to look.
i know that at least some of the archivists on this list have been in
communication with one another in an effort to improve the quality and
currency of their holdings. now that a technical council has been
created within tug, with michael ferguson as chair, i would like to
suggest that it might be useful to form a working party under that
umbrella to consider these problems. i haven't mentioned this before
to michael (and i apologize, michael, for not having done so), but
hope that he will agree that this is an important area.
thanks for listening.

Subject: Obsolated materials on Labrea
I started to input the following message for tex-implem:
Searching around the "latest" psfig version (1.8 in a message from Sebastian
Rahtz dated Jan, 20, 1992) and finding no appropriate location, i decided to
retrieve the files at Labrea. Unfortunately there are all obsolate (V1.1)
and date from 1987. Since my own working version is 1.2, it's not too
dramatic for me BUT it would be better for all the (La)TeX users that
the prime (La)TeX archive server give up-to-date informations. I don't
request thatthe psfig directory contains the latest version, i only mean
that a psfig info. file gives the official repository for the psfig files.
Can this be solved?
and thinkingabout that i reminded that you, Barbara, are certainly
the best person to whom i must address my comment. Isn't it?

Subject: Re: Obsolated materials on Labrea
bernard,
some time ago i sent the attached message to info-tex about the status
of labrea; this is followed by some correspondence between me and the
person who made the original inquiry. the fact of the matter is that
there is no official support of tex at stanford, and all maintenance
is done by a relatively disinterested volunteer. he is quite
accommodating when he is contacted, but he isn't always available and
it isn't always easy to get in touch with him. of course, he is quite
reliable about installing knuth's updates when knuth turns over a new
release, but the arrangement isn't so good for files that originate
somewhere else than stanford.
i don't honestly know what the answer is. i can try to talk to the
stanford volunteer, but aside from the knuth files, i'm not sure that
labrea is the best long-term prospect. the three archives that i
mention below, aston, stuttgart, and shsu, are all actively managed
and maintained, with full support from the institutions at which they
are located. i think that publicizing these three and recommending
labrea for only knuth's files is probably the wisest course.
your suggestion that any other file posted at labrea identify the
source and the official repository is a good idea, and i will
circulate it to the archivists.
hope this is a satisfactory answer.

Subject: re: "all good archives" (was: new latex release - where?)
in a message of february 1 to comp.text.tex, cameron smith said
"All good archives" apparently no longer includes ymir.claremont.edu
or labrea.stanford.edu, since we've been told that "the new LaTeX
is available from all good archives" but neither ymir nor labrea ...
labrea should be considered the first choice among archives only for
files maintained by knuth himself. the stanford tex project has not
been in operation officially for at least five years, and maintenance
of this archive is a voluntary operation, except for the knuth sources.
although i can't say so "officially", i certainly consider the archive
at stuttgart to be the most up-to-date source for the new latex.
the archivists in various locations are all connected via a network
list, where new versions of important tex-related software are announced.
some archivists, in addition, beat the bushes for new and interesting
material. the archives currently with the best support, in my experience,
are (in order of "seniority")
(aston) tex.ac.uk (may not be available yet for ftp outside the uk)
rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12)
niord.shsu.edu (192.92.115.8)
also very good is the following, though maintenance is inconsistent
ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23)
i'd like to give a public "thanks" to the archivists who have devoted so
much time and effort to making these facilities available to all of us.

Thanks for your email about archives. I don't think I've ever
seen before a statement of what the labrea archive is for.
I had thought it was the "official" home of LaTeX as well
as plain TeX, WEB for TeX and Metafont, fonts, etc.
I have tended to discount the Aston archive simply because
I haven't been able to establish an FTP connection to it.
My knowledge of other sites is based on incidental mentions
that I see in comp.text.tex. I guess I should go have a
look at the FAQ posting, and at the TeX resource directory
I received from TUG.
Thanks again for the pointers.

Subject: re: "all good archives" (was: new latex release - where?)
the archive at stanford (which used to be "score") *used* to be the
primary location for latex; leslie lamport had update access to the
latex area and did his own maintenance. (similarly, i had update
access to the tug and ams subareas.) but since the end of the tex
project, and probably more importantly, the demise of score and the
move to labrea, access is more circumscribed, and it's up to someone
in the stanford comp sci department to keep up. since knuth himself
is no longer on the "front lines" of tex, and this maintenance isn't
seen as critical, the quality of the maintenance depends on the
personal interest of the volunteer.
the aston, stuttgart, and shsu archives were created with the full
support of the local administrations, and the archive maintenance
is either an organized team, or (in the case of george greenwade
at shsu) a dedicated faculty/staff person with a real reason for
doing the job right. in all these cases, it has been made an
officially sanctioned and supported operation -- institutionalized,
if you like.
ymir was established by an undergraduate who managed to get staff
support, and though that support has made space available with no
problem, the actual people time required hasn't been subdivided
among a reliable group for whom it is a real part of their jobs.
i don't mean to knock don hosek's enthusiasm and good intentions,
but he's only one person and he's spread rather too thin.

Reply-To: Schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE
Organization: Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum fuer Informationstechnik Berlin
I have several remarks concerning Barbara Beeton's recent post to
tex-archive.
1. *LaTeX*.
There will be an up-to-date version of LaTeX at Labrea soon. I was
relying on Leslie Lamport for the transport of the files to Labrea,
but there were technical problems (like files arriving corrupted at
his machine). After several unsuccessful attempts we decided that I
will ship the LaTeX sources to labrea directly. This will take some
time, as we have some problems with the connections here at Berlin at
the moment, but I hope to complete this soon.
2. *Archives*.
Barbara explicitly mentions the three archives at Aston (UK),
Stuttgart (Germany), and SHSU (USA). I can only speak for the first
two of these, as I'm actively involved in their maintainance. The
Aston archive is managed by a group of volunteers scattered all over
Europe. The Stuttgart archive is managed by DANTE, the german
speaking TeX user's group.
3. *Obsolete material*.
This is actually the heart of the whole discussion: an archive where
old material is not deleted is of not much use after a while. Best
example is the Clarkson style repository.

Subject: New version of DVIDVI for VMS on FILESERV
Hunter Goatley <goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET> brought to my attention and
kindly provided me with a different version of the VMS port of DVIDVI
(authored by Tony McGrath <Tony@vaxc.cc.monash.edu.au>). The new VMS_SHARE
file has been installed on FILESERV/Niord for your convenience. Below is
the description file for this package.
My thanks are extended to Hunter for his efforts on this.
--George
===========================================================================
DVIDVI
------
The DVIDVI package includes Tony McGrath's <Tony@vaxc.cc.monash.edu.au>
port of Tom Rokicki's <rokicki@neon.stanford.edu> DVIDVI (version 0.5)
program for VMS. DVIDVI lets you manipulate DVI files, performing tricks
by extracting selected pages (or a selected ordering of pages) into a new
DVI file. This newer port also provides fuller functionality in that it
allows a user to extract certain pages from a document. The command:
dvidvi m[n] file outfile
will extract n pages starting at m. This is in addition to previously
supported page reversal, extraction of only odd or even pages, preparation
of folded brochures, and other items.
The C source, along with a DCL build file and sample are provided. This
version also includes Hunter Goatley's <goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET>
DUPLEX.COM, for poor-man's duplex printing. This package differs from the
one which has been available previously from SHSU in that it uses C
extensions to do the some things which the prior version relied on RMS
calls to handle.
The original DVIDVI created Stream_LF files under VMS; the VMS port of DVIPS
V5.47 (as well as the new DVITYPE, the latest DECUS TeX programs, etc.)
expects the file to consist of fixed-length, 512-byte records. This version
of DVIDVI creates such files under VMS.
Since this package is is specifically a VMS port and probably of interest
only to VMS users, the sources necessary to rebuild this version are in a
VMS_SHARE format.
You may retrieve the VMS_SHARE file by including the command:
SENDME DVIDVI
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For anonymous ftp retrieval, this file is available from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in the directory [.DVIDVI].
Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)
File Blocks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DVIDVI.VMS_SHARE 63
Approximate total blocks in full DVIDVI package = 63

Norm Walsh (author of the popular SFPtoPK, PKtoSFP, and MergeSFP utilities
for softfont conversions to and from PK formats) forwarded me his new
Sfware collection for even more extensive font handling. Norm's obsession
with collecting fonts clearly has a benefit for the TeX community. Below
is the FILESERV description file for this new package.
My thanks are extended to Norm for providing them for our distribution.
--George
===========================================================================
SFWARE
------
The SFWARE package includes four UUENCODEd ZIP files for Norm Walsh's
(walsh@cs.umass.edu) utilities which allow you to download, rotate,
compress, expand, view, and perform special effects on softfonts. The
effects provided include bold, fill, convert to fixed spacing, halftone,
hollow, invert, mirror, outline, convert to proportional spacing, resize,
reverse, shade, shadow, slant, stripe, three-d, hollow-three-d, and
filled-three-d effects. The effects can be tailored and customized for any
font with various parameters and shading patterns.
Sfware is distributed in four archive files: SFW100P1, SFW100P2, SFW100D1,
and SFW100D2. The 'P' archives contain the programs and the 'D' archives
contain documentation. It is absolutely vital that you have BOTH program
archives before you try to use Sfware.
These programs only work under MS-DOS. The menu-shell requires a hard disk
and 400+kb of memory. The special effects cannot be applied to scalable
fonts. These programs are shareware.
What you need:
SFW100P1.ZIP
SFW100P2.ZIP
These archives contain the programs for Sfware. You must get both of these
archives or Sfware will not work!
SFW100D1.ZIP
SFW100D2.ZIP
These archives contain the documentation. The "D1" archive documents the
full-screen shell. The "D2" archive documents the command line utilities.
It is recommended that you start with the full-screen shell and move on to
the command-line interface if you find a need.
These files are available for retrieval via mail by including the command:
SENDME SFWARE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file, say,
SFWARE.SFW100D2_UUE_05OF13, include the command:
SENDME SFWARE.SFW100D2_UUE_05OF13
in your mail message to FILESERV. The SFW100P1.ZIP, SFW100P2.ZIP,
SFW100D1.ZIP, and SFW100D2.ZIP files are available for anonymous ftp
retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory
[.SFWARE].

Subject: Eplain 2.0 released
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
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
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
files or the compressed tar file also), I am appending FILESERV's
description file below. I extend my thanks to Karl for allowing us to work
with him on this project.
--George
===========================================================================
EPLAIN
------
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.

Dear (don't know who because i'm not registered on this list),
I have found a lot of archives in the world that had out-of-date
psfig versions. Some of them had only a selection of files...
So i asked Trevor Darrell who kindly answered that his full
package is on whitechapel.media.mit.edu (Version 1.9, doc 1.8).
Hope this help and the archives be updated...
Yours,

Two dimensions to this answer. First, I am hoping to install the new
version of the TeXServer software once all of the bugs are out of it. I am
not exactly sure what bugs exist, but Brian {HK} tells me some are still
there.\footnote{I hope that, since this is now a public reply, I have not
offended Brian {HK} nor misrepresented what I believe to be true.} At that
point, we will work exactly as if you were connected to TeXServer@tex.ac.uk
(i.e., our file names and directory structure will, or should be, a close
if not exact mirror of tex.ac.uk). I imagine we will keep a parallel on
FILESERV for a brief time period (probably three months) as we try and move
people to the TeXServer command structure.
Second, the installation of our new Unix machine may allow us to retain the
VMS systems as VMS-like archives (with the mirror of Aston) and have a
Unix-like archive/mirror for those users. Once this is in place (assuming
I can argue my way into this), there will be absolutely no FILESERV-type
filenames and that dimension of our services should look and feel like any
other Unix ftp-able archive.
I know our ftp access and re-naming is a hassle and it is one I am trying
my honest best to overcome. In the interim, I am stuck with the structure
due to software constraints. From a mail perspective, though, I believe we
are serving a pretty good service (for example, over the weekend, we served
nearly 1,200 files, even though we had some network problems; I know we
have at least 22 more requests enqueued as I write this).
I hope we can better serve the TeX community, appreciate your concern over
the naming structure, and am more than willing to work with anyone to
increase the utility of our services. Any input from anyone which can
benefit what we are trying to do is what I am looking for. Possibly this
is a topic we can discuss in Portland (assuming I can get our local
administration to accept the fact that someone in the College of Business
is involved in archiving and in electronic mail administration).

thanks to dan kolkowitz, the following files have just been installed
at labrea.stanford.edu in the directory /tex/tugboat :
ltugboat.sty (latex style -- tugboat)
ltugproc.sty (latex style -- proceedings)
tugboat.cmn (macros common to plain and latex styles)
tugboat.sty (plain style -- tugboat)
tugproc.sty (plain style -- proceedings)
guidepro.tex (proceedings guidelines)
tubguide.tex (tugboat author guidelines)
these supersede older files of the same names, and also the old file
tugboat.com has now been renamed to tugboat.cmn to avoid reported
conflicts with an ms-dos naming convention. please delete any instance
of tugboat.com on your archive.
i would like to request that, in particular, the archives at aston,
stuttgart and ymir be updated speedily -- the instructions for
presenters for the tug annual meeting are about to be distributed, and
they include references to those archives. (shsu is also mentioned,
but george greenwade has already made the necessary arrangements --
thanks.)
if there are any questions or problems, please don't hesitate to get
in touch.
i hope to be making more updates soon; other files in the tugboat
collection are sadly out of date. all i need is time ...

Subject: TUGboat files at Niord
Regarding Barbara Beeton's post to tex-archive yesterday about the new
TUGboat files. Just as soon as I received her message about them getting
here, I placed them on Niord. Just as soon as I placed them on Niord, I
took down our mailer so I could attempt to optimize a few things. We were
off-net last Friday and are still trying to catch up; since coming back
on-line Sunday evening (as well as getting our USENET-to-mail feed back,
which was three and a half days behind), we've processed, transferred, or
currently have enqueued 1.9 *gig* of mail traffic. I hope we can be back
to normal by this weekend. Anyway, just to show I was honest:

Sorry, I should have routed this through Rice; I thought SWT had a mailer
which could handle gatewaying (and now I know better).

Dear (don't know who because i'm not registered on this list),
I have found a lot of archives in the world that had out-of-date
psfig versions. Some of them had only a selection of files...
So i asked Trevor Darrell who kindly answered that his full
package is on whitechapel.media.mit.edu (Version 1.9, doc 1.8).
Hope this help and the archives be updated...
Yours,

Subject: version 1.2 of Sauter files (any point size Computer Modern)
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
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.

To: tex-archive@math.utah.edu
Message-Id: <FF74911A00034F4F@CC.UTAH.EDU>
X-Envelope-To: tex-archive@math.utah.edu
We have found it convenient to use the Sauter parameter files not only for
cm fonts, but for several other families which use mainly the cm parameters.
We have set this up for Levy Greek
WSU IPA
Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic
It would really be best if the original authors of the MF source made Sauter
parameter files available, but to my knowledge that has not been done. If such
parameter files are available on TeXservers, perhaps the managers of these
servers should make this more widely known.
There was not much work required to adapt the above fonts to the Sauter
scheme, but it might save repetition of effort if parameter files for the
above fonts were kept on a server.
Two possible problems: (1) the original authors of the fonts might possibly
object. (2) The Sauter parameter file names were originally in a form which
is rather system-specific. Their use with different operating systems may
need slight adjustment. If any archive is interested (and I do not hear
any objection from original authors), I shall be willing to provide files
in MS-DOS format.

when i posted the announcement that a new version of the tugboat
styles has been installed on "all the best archives", i failed to
mention one important change that will affect existing users of
this style.
the documentstyle call has been changed. it is now
\documentstyle{ltugboat]
earlier versions used ltugboat as a substyle to article.
as ltugboat is not intended to work as a substyle to any other main
style, the change is logical, and rainer schoepf has been after me
to make it for several years.
i realize that this means all existing files calling on ltugboat.sty
will have to be changed, and apologize for the inconvenience.

Subject: INCLUDE Preprocessor available on FILESERV/Niord
There has been some recent discussion about an \include or \input
preprocessor for (La)TeX. Charles Franklin forwarded me his package for
doing this, which is now available from FILESERV/Niord. Below is the
FILESERV description file for the package. Thanks to Charles for
contributing this to the TeX community and for allowing us to distribute
it.
--George
===========================================================================
INCLUDE
-------
The INCLUDE package includes a uuencoded .ZIP file including the Pascal
source, executable, and documentation for Charles H. Franklin's
<C38871CF@WUVMD.BITNET> INCLUDE utility (v1.5). This program replaces
LaTeX "\include{myfile}" and "\input{myfile}" statements with the actual
contents of the included file. "Inputfile", "outputfile" and "myfile"s are
assumed to have extension ".tex" if none is given. If no "outputfile" is
given, the output is written on "included.tex".
"Inputfile" can be a TeX file or it can be a simple list of \include (or
\input) statements. Included files may themselves contain \include or
\input statements. This nesting can be up to 14 files deep. No file may
include a file in which it is itself already included. To do so would
cause an infinite loop.
Charles notes in his contribution:
> I've been using INCLUDE for about a year and it works fine for me.
> However, no one else has tried it, so I expect to get bug reports from
> those who try it.
To retrieve INCLUDE, please include the command:
SENDME INCLUDE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For anonymous ftp retrieval, the file is in the [.INCLUDE] directory on
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).
Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)
File Blocks Save file as:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INCLUDE.UUE 30 INCLUDE.UUE (UUdecodes to INCLUDE.ZIP; ZIP file
has INCLUDE.EXE, INCLUDE.PAS, and INCLUDE.DOC

[With apologies to my fellow Aston Archivists, to whom I accidentally
sent this message directly, instead of via Utah!]
Don Knuth has just announced the release of revised versions of TeX and
many of its friends and relations. These will all be installed on the
Aston Archive over the next few days/weeks; as a start, the file
[tex-archive.tex]tex.web is now the source of this latest revision, at
v3.141. The change file for the VMS implementation will be found as
[tex-archive.tex.vms]tex.ch.
The previous two versions of the TeX source remain (for the time being)
as [tex-archive.tex]tex.web-3-1 and [tex-archive.tex]tex.web-3-14; they
may be deleted at some time in the future after change files for all
other implemenations have been installed in the archive.
[Note for fellow archivists (and anyone else that's interested):
I have followed a new practice on this occasion --- the timestamp of
the tex.web source has been manually edited to match that of the
canonical source file at Labrea --- since the latter is timed at 05:10
local (presumably PST) on the 16th March, the Aston copy is timed at
13:10 GMT on the same day.
I would strongly advocate that all other archives attempt to follow
this practice: it helps both ourselves and our clients --- it would be
even better if an FTP directory listing could be obtained with a fixed
time datum, such as GMT!

Subject: Update to STYles at FILESERV/Niord
I'm truly sorry to those who have forwarded styles for me to add to our
archives. Things have been sort of busy, so I've gotten a little behind.
I will be sending out some notices within the next few days regarding
updates which have been made, but are either undocumented or unannounced.
This is my first set of announcements, so please bear with me.
The first files of interest are two updates by David Carlisle
<carlisle@computer-science.manchester.ac.uk> to longtable.sty, and
newarray.sty.
longtable.sty defines the longtable environment, a multipage version
of tabular. New in version 3:
* The table does not have to start at the top of the page.
* The documentation uses Mittelbach's doc.sty, so the documentation
file longtable.tex is no longer needed.
* Support for footnotes.
* Many minor modifications. (One of the problems with using doc.sty
is that it makes the author read his own code!)
newarray.sty is an extension of Mittelbach's array.sty, which allows
the user to easily specify new column types, and delimiters around the
alignment. Also \extracolsep works with this style.
Version 1 has a rather embarrassing bug in the treatment of @ and !
expressions. These were prematurely expanded inside an \edef, which
may cause some rather spectacular errors. Please upgrade to Version 2
if you have a copy of Version 1.
To retrieve either of these files, please include the commands:
SENDME STY.LONGTABLE
SENDME STY.NEWARRAY
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET).
The second set of files were submitted by James Darrell McCauley
<jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu>. First is an update to endfloat.sty, which puts
all LaTeX figures and tables on pages at the end of an article in
individual sections (optionally labelled). In-text references can be made
where the text of the table of figure should have been placed. This new
version (1.2) provides internationalization in naming and verifies that the
floats were used before a section is created for them. Include the command
SENDME STY.ENDFLOAT in your mail to FILESERV to retrieve this file.
Second in Darrell's submissions are cea.sty and cea.bst. These are the
unofficial LaTeX and BibTeX style files for Elsevier's ``Computers and
Electronics in Agriculture'' submissions, respectively.
To retrieve these, include in your mail message to FILESERV:
SENDME STY.ENDFLOAT
SENDME STY.CEA*
The third file set of interest is Peter Ungar's cropmark.tex, a TeX macro
to produce cropmarks in plain TeX. Include the command SENDME
STY.CROPMARK_TEX in your mail to FILESERV to retrieve this file.
Finally, Darrel Hankerson <hank@ducvax.auburn.edu> submitted a clean-up of
pagefoots.sty. This style numbers footnotes beginning on ``1'' for each
page. By default, it uses the \fnsymbol to "number" the footnotes (this is
controlled by the first line of \newfoots); and it gets rid of the usual
footnote rule, and inserts more vertical space for footnotes. Include the
command SENDME STY.PAGEFOOTS in your mail to FILESERV to retrieve this
file.

BOXEDEPS
--------
The BOXEDEPS package includes the files associated with Laurent
Siebenmann's <lcs@matups.matups.fr> BoxedEPS, a highly portable package for
insertion of EPSF (Encapsulated PostScript Files) in TeX documents. It is
a fraction of a larger less portable package for several graphics norms on
the Mac which was initially put together for the GUTenberg special year
for graphics, 1989.
Included in this package is a new file (BOXEDEPS.OZTEX) for OzTeX 1.4.
OzTeX 1.4 interprets the Mac subdirectory delimiter ":" as a separator
between keywords in the \special command. This breaks the use of
subdirectories for included graphics files.
You may retrieve the entire package of 3 files by including the command:
SENDME BOXEDEPS
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET).
A complete distribution of this version of BOXEDEPS requires all 3 files in
this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should
only need one of these files, say BOXEDEPS.OZTEX, use the command:
SENDME BOXEDEPS.OZTEX
in your message to FILESERV.
For anonymous ftp retrieval, the files are available from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in the directory [.BOXEDEPS].
Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)

Subject: Coordinating/mirroring archives
This is a question I have been puzzling over for some time now and I am
hoping that someone else may have already dealt with it, at least
conceptually, if nothing else. It would be ideal (my opinion, quite
possibly only mine) to have a mechanism in place whereby the TeX archives
out there could mirror one another automatically. This would allow for
consistency in versions and updates with minimal pain to all of us (and,
more important, our users). For now, I only wish to discuss the ftp-able
archive areas since mail poses a problem outside the arena I want to
consider at the moment.
Recognizing that U*ix (Stuttgart, labrea, etc.) and VMS (ymir, Aston, SHSU)
systems dominate the archive area poses an interesting dilemma. For now,
please allow me to assume that away. Here is what I am really interested
in being able to do:
1. Create/maintain comprehensive archives, such as Aston, ymir, Stuttgart,
and (hopefully) SHSU. Put in place the ability to add/remove sites over
time.
2. Allow retrieval access to non-comprehensive, but vital, archives to
contribute and get into the comprehensive stream quickly and efficiently
(i.e., get Karl's modes and eplain out of ftp.cs.umb.edu; get Daniel's
MusicTeX out of rsovax.circe.fr; etc., in a timely manner *without*
burdening them with files they have no
interest/facilities/space/bandwidth/support/whatever in having on their
systems). Indeed, I would hope that certain systems would serve as the
"official" repository of certain files, but that those files were widely
and quickly propogated and available (i.e., by no means should Frank and
Rainer's work be "officially" housed aywhere other than their machine).
I would assume (but am not imposing) that a consistent directory tree
structure would be efficient in handling this sort of mirroring\footnote{If
you want to flame wierd trees and filenames, we are probably the worst
offender; I now have the space (Unix and/or VMS) to move to a wholly
ftp-able directory tree --- this is why I am getting more concerned about
how we handle this issue.} It would also be nice for users to know (or at
least have more than a marginal idea) where to look for what.
A colleague here and I am presently working on designing a mirror/update
program between our VMS and Unix systems, evaluating filenames, filedates,
and filesize for transfer between the systems to have the most current
versions in place on each system. This is not trivial, and has been a good
time consumer.
Two questions arise:
1. Are any other TeX-related archivists interested in such a project
(particularly along the comprehensive line)?
2. Does anyone know of existing software to do what Ken and I are working
on for the machine-to-machine check and transfer (mirroring software,
specifically)? If so, where can I get a copy to see how it handles some of
the things we've come across (particularly the variations in case
sensitivity, extensions, namings, images vs. ascii, etc.)?
I hope to see at least some activity on these (and related) topics. If
necessary, I can create (yet another) list to reduce traffic on
tex-archive, if requested. Clearly, there are technical issues (how to get
this done; appropriate protocol), as well as local policy issues
(comprehensive vs. specific; directory structure) and staffing issues
(probably need a central clearinghouse for placement within directories and
filenames to minimize naming conflicts, etc.) which must be addressed here.
Your ideas, either privately or on this list, will sincerely be
appreciated.
Regards, George

Subject: Update to LONGTABLE.STY on FILESERV/Niord
David Carlisle <carlisle@computer-science.manchester.ac.uk> recently
forwarded me a new version of his popular longtable.sty which provides a
bug fix:
% * Michel Goossens (goossens@CERNAPO.CERN.CH) discovered a bug in
% longtable v3, which has in fact always been in longtable. If a chunk
% ends on a line in which the first entry is empty, wierd errors occur.
% This style just adds some special begin and end group characters to
% correct this. ( {\ifnum0=`}\fi ) stuff as explained in Appendix D.
To retrieve the update via e-mail, include the command:
SENDME STY.LONGTABLE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET).
For anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), the file is
in the [.STY] directory.

There is a package written in perl that does exactly what you want.
Since perl runs on nearly every Unix system, I'd say that this is
already the solution for mirroring between Unix sites.
There remains the question of VAX/VMS to be solved. I see three
possibilities:
a) Have the mirroring software run only on Unix sites. Since it can
both get and put whole archive trees, the only thing that has to be
rewritten are the directory/filename parsing routines to deal with VMS
file specifications. (Forgetting about questions of access rights at
the moment.)
b) Port perl to VAX/VMS (unless it hasn't been done already?). Umpf!
Lot's of work, though I don't think it is difficult in principle.
c) Rewrite the package in VAX/VMS DCL. Hm!
At least it is worthwhile to have a look at the features this mirror
package offers. I can provide documentation to interested parties.

George --- Although I am 100% a VMS person, I do know that mirroring software
exists already for the Unix world, which will do exactly what you require.
I will locate a reference and pass it on to you. Emulating it under VMS

Subject: Coordinating ftp'able archives
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.702840523.beebe@solitude.math.utah.edu>
George Greenwade asks whether a separate list should be established
for the discussion of coordination of ftp'able TeX archives.
Definitely NOT. That is a very important topic, and one of the
reasons the tex-archive list got created.
In Heidelberg in June 1990, I spent quite a bit of time talking to
people about the archive coordination problem. At the time, none of
us knew of any good solutions, other than rdist in UNIX. The problem
with rdist is that it is quite stupid: it makes a net request for the
time stamps of every file listed in the Distfile, and it requires that
every file to be managed be explicitly listed in the Distfile. This
means that it is hopeless for keeping archives of thousands of files
up-to-date: it takes too long to get time stamps, and the Distfile has
to be continually updated.
At the University of Minnesota, the gopher project is addressing the
issue of providing access to distributed archives. Front ends exist
for the IBM PC, Apple Macintosh, X windows, and dumb terminals. I
have the X window interface, xgopher, running here, and expect to
start on the gopher server soon, in order to make the tuglib archive
available via gopher. There are gopher server sites in the US,
Europe, Middle East, and New Zealand, with more appearing all the
time. There is even a Usenet discussion list.
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, an X windows front end to netlib
(from which tuglib is derived) has recently been released. The
backend server code is not ready for distribution, but I've discussed
with the developers my desire to have the backend available for tuglib
access (and there are several other implementations of netlib around
the world providing access to collections). They are interested in
the possibility of servers sharing index information and providing
proxy file transfer capabilities. gopher already partly does this,
though it was intended initially for ASCII text, and doesn't have a
binary file capability yet. I've put the Oak Ridge folks in touch
with the Minnesota people.
Finally, there is the archive server work at McGill University.
archie is an archive of archives; it keeps indexes of holdings that
other archives have, but not their contents. archie has been
replicated on several other machines. It doesn't provide proxy file
retrieval, only info about which archives have a particular file. It
has an e-mail interface, a free login access, and an X windows
interface (xarchie).
Rather than going out and developing yet another approach to this
problem, which is not just TeX-related, but now a worldwide one with
thousands of archive sites and 600K+ (as of August 1990) hosts on the
Internet, let's follow the archie, gopher, and xnetlib work and see
whether they will soon offer a solution.

X-Vms-To: TEX_ARCHIVE
Sometime this summer, the archive on ymir.claremont.edu will be
moved to a new machine (the likely name is anacletus.qdt.com but
this has not been completely decided yet). This will be a BSD386
machine with a 1G disk dedicated to the archive. We intend to
have that volume mounted from ymir so that there will be minimal
visible interruption of service.
By having the archive on its own machine in this fashion, we
should also be able to provide some other services as well. For
example, most "out of the box" archive tools are Unix-specific;
better mail server facilities than the default PMDF mailserv will
be accessible, etc.

X-Vms-To: TEX_ARCHIVE
As I've mentioned elsewhere, ymir(anacletus) will be undergoing a
major restructuring in a few months when the new machine is
installed. This looks like a good opportunity to discuss what a
standard directory tree for a TeX archive should look like.
Criteria would include:
- Easy ability to find files
- Structured for easy modular maintenance
- Easy construction of meaningful listings of portions of the
archive (e.g., 00inputs-index.txt on ymir)
- Easy ability to exclude portions of the universe of archive
possibilities.
My proposal would naturally be something like what's on ymir.
Comments/suggestions?

Yes, but this has changed -- I'm using such software for more than
half a year and it works without the need for human work.

Sorry, but that's not the topic of the discussion. archie is an
information provider, it tells where a packet might be. It does
**not** organize automatic updates from reference hosts (let's say
labrea) to large ftp sites (let's say rusinfo).
Btw, talking about information services -- you have forgotten to
mention WAIS (the wide area information services) and WWW (world wide
web, an attempt for a global hypertext system). :-)
> Rather than going out and developing yet another approach to this

Exactly -- let's use the software available and in use worldwide.
(Ie, the software used to create the *large* mirrors at
wuarchive.wustl.edu, at src.doc.ic.ac.uk [that's the archive of the
UK Unix Users' Group], at gatekeeper.dec.com, etc.)
Check comp.archives.admin -- there are two packages in wide use for
mirroring ftp sites. (This information is due to Ed Vielmetti.)
1. A package written in C
2. mirror, a package written in Perl
The latter one was created by Lee McLoughlin from the UK UUG, I use it
and am very satisfied with. (It's the same package Rainer spoke about.
It will be used in Stuttgart.) According to Lee, it's used by more than
300 ftp sites worldwide.
(I haven't used the first package, take this into respect while
reading my following comments. ;-)
Since I use mirror, I don't have to look for changes on labrea,
ics.umb.edu, rusinfo, etc. If there are changed files they get
fetched automatically and I receive a notice by email. That's all.
File/directory renames, compression on the fly, split of big
files, easy configuration -- no problems. At the moment it can only
mirror UNIX sites, but this will be changed Real Soon Now. (The
provisions are already there -- `just' a function has to be written
which parses a VMS dir listing and puts the info in an assocative
array.)
To give you an idea, I've appended my configuration files for
labrea and for the Internet RFCs at the end of the mail. They will
give you an idea, how the system is used.
Oh yes, you might fetch the system by anonymous ftp from
ftp.th-darmstadt.de, directory pub/networking/misc, file
mirror-2.0.13.THD-1.tar.Z.
To summarize -- I agree fully with Nelson that one should not reinvent
the wheel. One should use the systems which are used already on the
large ftp sites, eg, mirror.

Subject: A standard directory tree?
Reply-To: Schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE
Organization: Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum fuer Informationstechnik Berlin
Don Hosek asks about suggestions for a standard directory tree. Well,
my proposal is naturally the one we have at Stuttgart. But I admit
that there are several questionable decisions.
One thing I find very important is to separate a possible living TeX
implementation from the archive. The result will always be a
compromise, since the former is made so that TeX will most easily find
what it needs, whereas the latter has to be set up so that the
innocent user can most easily find what (s)he is looking for.

i'd like to propose the concept that originators of substantial
packages, whether or not they maintain an archive accessible by
anonymous ftp, may find it necessary or desirable to create a
non-flat directory structure for their offerings. it would seem
reasonable that the main public archives adopt that structure,
if possible, for (everybody's) ease of maintenance.
the model i'm thinking of is the math society's e-math. i notice
that rainer's outline of the stuttgart structure does include such
a segment.
comments?

The problem with Rainer's layout, as I see it, is that there are far too many
things at the top-level (i.e. there are `category errors'). Taking his
original list, I have reformatted it to shew how one might attempt to factor
out common themes, and also appended file types to improve readability. It is,
of course, by no means the only possible layout, but it does seek to
demonstrate the sort of hierarchical order that I believe is fundamental to any
well-structured archive.

-Don Hosek asks about suggestions for a standard directory tree. Well,
-my proposal is naturally the one we have at Stuttgart. But I admit
-that there are several questionable decisions.
So naturally, I bring up a few questions:
-FILES - Complete recursive listing of the whole directory tree.
-FILES.Z - Compressed version of FILES.Z.
-INDEX - This file.
-LIESMICH - German version of the README file.
-README - General README file.
For the benefit of archives hosted on non-Unix systems, I'd
propose tacking 00 to the beginning of files of this ilk and
adding .txt to the end.
-ams - Software distributed by the American Mathematical Society.
- (mirrors e-math.ams.com)
I've expressed my complaints with the AMS' appropriation of a
whole archive for themselves, but I'm willing to give in if
necessary. It does set a unpleasant precedent.
-arabtex - A LaTeX extension for high-quality arabic writing.
It would probably make sense to have a babel subtree for language
support. This would include hyphenation, arabtex, ivritex, jtex,
etc.
-bibtex - Software for the BibTeX bibliography database filter.
I've pulled out the code and just made this .bst and .bib files
and a few minor related programs (but not things like bibindex).
Comments?
-dante - Items referring to the German speaking TeX Users Group.
At first I was thinking that this should be in foreign languages,
but I realized it really would be better as a top-level archive
or as part of a users group sub-archive including gut, uktug,
tug, etc.
-digests - Digests of the TeXhax, TeXMaG, and UKTeX mailing lists.
I have periodicals which includes tugboat and TeX&TUG news.
Thoughts?
-documentation - Documentation about TeX. Includes FAQ list and such.
Same
-drivers - All kinds of .dvi driver programs.
- (one subdir for every type of driver)
Same
-education - Teaching TeX and LaTeX.
I don't have this at all or if I have some of the files, they're
in documentation. I do like it.
-eplain - Karl Berry's extended plain format.
Personally I prefer to keep all the various macro packages in
subdirs of inputs.
-fonts - Metafont sources, pixel files, .tfm files,
- PostScript fonts, etc.
- (subdirectories: metafont postscript pk-files
- gf-files tfm-files)
I prefer to have MF sources in their own subdir.
-graphics - Tools for inclusion of graphics in TeX documents.
Ditto.
-hints - Read this if you don't know what to do.
A subdir or a readme-type file?
-hyphenation - Hyphenation patterns for different languages,
- and related files.
I think it should be part of babel. It seems somewhat
counter-intuitive to look for german.sty in hyphenation (assuming
I'm interpretting your description correctly).
-incoming - Directory for submissions by YOU!
Don't have one for technical reasons. Will be changed in the move
to Unix.
-indexing - Tools for processing and sorting an index.
I put these in individual subdirs under utilities
-japanese-tex - Japanese TeX.
In Babel?
-lamstex - LAmS-TeX, by Michael D. Spivak.
-latex - The original LaTeX source distribution.
-latex-style-supported
- - User contributed LaTeX styles and style options that
- are supported by their author(s).
-latex-style-unsupported
- - Unsupported user contributed LaTeX styles and style
- options. Use at your own risk!
Nice distinction on the LaTeX styles. I'd put all these as
subdirs under utilities myself.
-machines - machine specific software: for Macs, MS-DOS, Atari ST,
- Amiga, Unix, etc.
- (one subdirectory per machine type)
It's kind of tough determining when to put something here. no? it
is useful though.
-mathematica - The TeX/Mathematica Interface.
No comment.
-mf-sources - Metafont, the program.
-mf2ps - A variant of Metafont to produce PostScript directly.
-mfware - Tools related to Metafont.
-music - Music TeX: typeset music with TeX!
There are actually several separate Music typesetting packages:
mTeX, MusicTeX, etc.
-pictex - Do graphics wiht TeX and LaTeX.
Why not under graphics?
-plain-macros - Various macro-packages built on plain TeX.
Where does plain.tex live?
-teaching - Alternate name for education.
Any special reason?
-tex-implementors
- - Messages from the TeX implementors mailing list.
I've got this along with notes on different systems although most
of those notes are out of date.
-tex-macros - Alternate name for plain-macros (to go away).
-tex-sources - TeX, the program.
-texbook+metafontbook
- - Files used in those publications.
-text1 - The TeXt1 macro package, developed at Washington
- State University.
-texware - Tools related to TeX.
-tug - Files supplied by the TeX Users Group (TUG).
-tugboat - Files related to articles published in TUGboat,
- the journal of the TeX Users Group.

-xypic - The XY-pic macro package for AMS-TeX, plain TeX, LaTeX,
- and AMS-LaTeX for typesetting diagrams.
Why not under graphics?

one little problem with phil's restructuring of rainer's layout
is that the ams stuff is not just formats -- it includes amsfonts.
that could prove confusing to a user, but separating it out
would cause us here a problem, as we have written our documentation
on the assumption that a certain directory structure exists; this
applies to retrieval from archives as well as for use. i don't
think that the ams stuff deserves greater prominence in the archives
than any other major package, but it should at least be labeled in
a way that is not going to either create confusion or make the
existing documentation useless (more confusion).
perhaps in a unix environment, this could be solved by the use of
pointers in other areas, but i don't think that's possible in vms.
i do favor the idea of grouping, and of having only subdirectory
and informational files at any higher level -- makes it easier to
navigate. i'd like to see a "bare tree" be one of the informational
files -- i expect that files.txt is quite large, and often i find
that something with less detail is nearly as useful; but perhaps
this is included in the top-level readme file.
of course, i don't manage an archive, and what's most important is
that whatever is decided on must be practicable. but i'd like to
continue to be a satisfied user.

I use lots of symbolic links, and VMS supports having the same file in

Yes, of course. One of the uses of the complete listing is for otehr
software: ls-lR is used by the archie servers, and the FILES at
Stuttgart is used by the mail server's search command.

No objection.

Hmmm, one thing one could do is to set up one subtree that mirrors
exactly the other archives, something like
...mirrors/
mirrors/e-math.ams.com/...
mirrors/labrea.stanford.edu/...
and have links from other parts of the archive to there (for VMS:
secondary file pointers). I have something like this in the near
future anyway, when I get the automatic mirroring software running.
It would probably make sense to have a babel subtree for language
support. This would include hyphenation, arabtex, ivritex, jtex,
etc.
Yes. Perhaps we should call it language-support instead of babel. This
sounds to my ears like FSF's idea to call their parser generator bison
-- a nice idea, but to complicated to be understood by the majority of
users.
-bibtex - Software for the BibTeX bibliography database filter.
I've pulled out the code and just made this .bst and .bib files
and a few minor related programs (but not things like bibindex).
Comments?
Not sure. You mean that bibindex tools and the like are under utilities?
-dante - Items referring to the German speaking TeX Users Group.
At first I was thinking that this should be in foreign languages,
but I realized it really would be better as a top-level archive
or as part of a users group sub-archive including gut, uktug,
tug, etc.
Yes, I also like Phil's suggestion of "user-groups".
-digests - Digests of the TeXhax, TeXMaG, and UKTeX mailing lists.
I have periodicals which includes tugboat and TeX&TUG news.
Thoughts?
Sounds better than digests.
I prefer to have MF sources in their own subdir.
That's a decision I made at some point: I thought there is no
particular reason to have a special mf subdir, but not a postscript
subdir. Comments?
-hints - Read this if you don't know what to do.
A subdir or a readme-type file?
A subdir with some extended help. Could be useful. Comments?
-indexing - Tools for processing and sorting an index.
I put these in individual subdirs under utilities
I have this extra because it is rather important.
Nice distinction on the LaTeX styles. I'd put all these as
subdirs under utilities myself.
I read that as "inputs".
-music - Music TeX: typeset music with TeX!
There are actually several separate Music typesetting packages:
mTeX, MusicTeX, etc.
Yes, every one has its own subdir under music.
-plain-macros - Various macro-packages built on plain TeX.
Where does plain.tex live?
At the moment under plain-macros.
-teaching - Alternate name for education.
Any special reason?
Purely historical.
One remark to Phil's proposal: I object to not having things like
education and hints on top level. Remember that it should be easy for
every user to get information.

rainer says, about unix,
I use lots of symbolic links, and VMS supports having the same file in
more than one directory.
i don't think it's a good idea to put copies of the same actual file
in multiple directories. (multiple copies take up more space than
necessary, and are pesky to keep updated and coordinated properly.)
unless i misunderstand, that is what rainer's statement implies. ???

As discussion is open:
I object against "00" at beginning of file or directory names.
Our operating system (CDC NOS/VE very comfortable, but restrictive too)
does not like digits at the begin of a file name.
(The system substitutes "00" by "^00" and this forces such a name to
the very end of the file list ...)
Mathematical operator symbols like '-' '+' '*' '/' are expected to be
executed ...
But I am member of minority ...

Re: `00' --- I agree (and it's also very ugly). It's there to
ensure that the file appear first in any directorly listing sorted
alphabetically; AAA*.* is almost as good, and if one ensures that
NO files commence with digits, the AAAs will almost certainly
appear first. ** P.

Subject: Fixed LONGTABLE on FILESERV/Niord
David Carlisle promptly forwarded me a non-corrupt version of longtable
which is now available from SHSU. The version has moved from 3.1 to 3.2,
however as:
% Version 3.2 9-April-1992
%
% * That man Goossens again! All previous versions of longtable have used
% the table counter internally. This fails if table is reset during a
% document. report.sty resets the table counter for each chapter. Now
% use an internal counter, but still increment table so \caption and
% \label work out right.
(so maybe the corrupt file was a blessing in disguise).
To retrieve the file via e-mail, please include the command:
SENDME STY.LONGTABLE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET).
For anonymous ftp rtrieval, the file is in the [.STY] directory on
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).
If you retrieved the file from FILESERV during the window of corruptness, I
am in the process right now (on another node) of forwarding the new file to
you.

No, I was talking about the VMS equivalent of Unix hard links, i.e.
what you do with the
SET FILE/ENTER
and
SET FILE/REMOVE
commands in VMS. The effect is that you have several directory entries
pointing to the same file.

The file you are looking for is on Niord, as is a VMS backup saveset for
those so inclined. The files are in the [.LATEX] directory. The file
[.LATEX]0000README.FTP_USERS states:

===========================================================================
Other than the 0000README.FTP_USERS, and LATEX-25MAR1992.BCK and .TAR_Z
files in the [.LATEX] directory, none of the other files are intended for
ftp users (although they can get to and are welcome to them). Note that
within the various subdirectories, I have set the file date to that which
rusinfo's tar file would generate on a U*ix machine; these dates and times
are also attached to the files in the VMS saveset.
For U*ix ftp users of Niord, use
ftp> get latex-25mar1992.tar_z latex.tar.Z
uncompress it, tar -xf it, and you're done. As far as U*ix machines with
the tar or tar.Z file, rusinfo is the home of the LaTeX distributions, so
you can always get the most recent versions from there (I try to stay up on
this, but there is a time lag) and (I believe) labrea.stanford.edu has the
latest version now in place.

TR2LATEX
--------
The TR2LATEX package includes the files of the April 22, 1992, release of
Christian Engel's <krischan@veilchen.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>
modifications and enhancements of Kamal Al-Yahya's tr2latex, Troff-to-LaTeX
conversion program. Significantly, the source code can now be compiled and
run under VMS and DOS, as well as the original U*ix. See the README file
for instructions on how to handle these new systems.
Since all of the files in this package are required for for a complete
distribution, include the command:
SENDME TR2LATEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If for some reason, you should need a specific file, say, TR2LATEX.README,
include the command:
SENDME TR2LATEX.README
in your mail message to FILESERV.
For anonymous ftp access, there is a compressed U*ix tar file, a VMS backup
saveset, and a ZIP file of the package available in the directory
[.TR2LATEX.FTP] on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) under the filenames
TR2LATEX-2_0.TAR_Z, TR2LATEX-2_0.BCK, and TR2LATEX-2_0.ZIP, respectively.

Christian's obviously been busy! I caught this while going through the
ctt-Digest receipts and it has been removed from that distribution (and so
noted). The changes between version 2.2 and 2.1 (announced and installed
last week) are listed as follows:
# Revision 2.2 1992/04/27 15:13:51 Christian_Engel
# - Fixed a bug in flip_twice I have brought in with revision 1.02 but didn't
# notice earlier. It lead to wrong translation of nested flipping math
# commands like ``a under hat''.
# Bug reported by Richard Walker <richard@cs.anu.edu.au>.
# - Some modifications to calm down some strange warnings on strange
# compilers reported from the net
# - Fixed bug in getopts: now input of stdin by pure command line argument `-'
# works properly.
# - Fixed bug in main: multiple command line arguments work properly now.
To retrieve the new version, include the command:
SENDME TR2LATEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For anonymous ftp users of Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), a compressed U*ix
tar file, a VMS backup saveset, and a DOS-compatible ZIP file reside in the
directory [.TR2LATEX.FTP] as TR2LATEX-2_2.TAR_Z, *.BCK, and *.ZIP,
respectively.

Subject: Technical Working Group on TeX Archive Guidelines (WG-92-05)
This is a somewhat long posting to tex-archive, which I apologize for in
advance. However, if you are going to follow the thread of what I am going
to be bothering some or all of you about, you need these reference points.
I guess I need to quit being surreptitious regarding my postings to
tex-archive about mirroring, comprehensive vs. specialized archives, etc.
I have recently accepted Michael Ferguson's (Chair of the newly-created TUG
Technical Council) invitation to serve as Chair of TUG's Technical Working
Group (TWG) on Archive Guidelines.
Below are (1) an outline of the heirarchy involved, as well as the mandate
for the TWG, as proposed; (2) my reply and immediate suggested
modifications to the proposed mandate; and (3) my request for comments and
suggestions (condolences?) regarding the project.
===========================================================================
Outline
-------
The primary intent of the Technical Council is to evaluate technical
issues, and recommend actions concerning TeX and its related systems, so
that a stable, consistent, and effective environment for document
preparation and production may be maintained. In order to carry out these
activities, the Council shall appoint Technical Working Groups to study an
issue, and to report its findings and recommendations to the Council. Any
recommendation will be subject to ``Certification'' by the Council before
being brought to the Board of Directors for ratification. The exact nature
of the Certification Process will be dependent upon the action recommended
and is a subject of further study.
Technical Working Groups:
A Technical Working Group shall consist of a Technical Working Group Chair,
Technical Working Group Members, and a Technical Council Liason.
-- The Technical Council Liason shall be a permanent member of the
Technical Council. The Liason shall be responsible for timely
reporting of Working Group activities, and for the deposition of
all Working Group Reports and Recommendations to the Council.
-- The Technical Working Group Chair shall be appointed by the Technical
Council. The Working Group Chair shall be solely responsible for the
study procedure and structure of the Working Group. All Technical
Working Group members shall serve at the discretion of the Working Group
Chair.
-- A Technical Working Group shall have a mandate to be determined by the
Technical Council.
-- Each Technical Working Group shall make a report of its activities at
each TUG Board of Director's meeting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WG-92-05:
Title: TeX Archive Guidelines
Mandate: The purpose of this Technical Working Group is to develop
guidelines for the effective management and utilization of major TeX
archives, and to initiate communication among the maintainers of the
existing archives for the purpose of coordination and synchronization.
Areas to be considered include, but are not limited to:
- what physical resources are needed
- what kind of management support is desireable
- what personnel resources are necessary and how should they be organized
- breadth and depth of coverage, general and specific subject archives
- strategies for organizing and managing the archive holdings
- strategies for archive synchronization
- dissemination strategies of archive contents
- should there be "official" archives
Technical Working Group Chair: George Greenwade
Technical Council Liason: Alan Hoenig
===========================================================================
My Response and Modifications
-----------------------------
I am in full agreement that some form of coordination is a prerequisite for
more extended use of the network as support, development, and coordination
mechanisms for all aspects of TeX. Given the sheer growth of the Internet
and its amazing growth rate, we will soon be (if we are not already)
confronted by some serious coordination problems. Please allow me to
provide the following comments and concerns for your consideration.
\section{What needs to be done?}
The generalized communications between archivers dimension is already
quasi-addressed by the tex-archive@math.utah.edu list. Depending on
specifically what is determined, it is possible that this list needs to be
redefined in scope and purpose. Alternately, it may be that a two-level
list be created, one for ``major'' archivers and one for ``general
interest'' archivers. I would hope that this/these media would largely
address the ``dissemination strategies of archive contents'' item listed
above. It may be that the comp.text.tex FAQ and (especially) FAQ
Supplement may serve as a generalized public catalog of what is where. Much
of this relies on the questions immediately below.
The critical ordering of the questions, in my view, are:
- should there be "official" archives?
- if so, should there be a mirror of this archive?
- subordinately, if so, should there be multiple mirrors?
- depending on how the above are answered, ``strategies for organizing
and managing the archive holdings'' and ``strategies for archive
synchronization'' become increasingly or decreasingly important.
Once determined,
- what physical resources are needed
- what kind of management support is desireable
- what personnel resources are necessary and how should they be organized
become virtually secondary as the existence of an official archive creates
an official directory structure (which we are sorely in need of).
Moreover, if this is possible, the manpower requirements will essentially
be focused at one and only one site worldwide as the updating software
should be able to properly locate transfers to proper directory and
filename specifications.
A very interesting question remains, however:
- breadth and depth of coverage, general and specific subject archives
It would be a serious mistake to disallow specialized archives, such as
Karl Berry's eplain and modes at ftp.cs.umb.edu. Somehow, there must be a
mechanism so that the official archival software can easily be notified of
updates so it can access and include these files. It would be a shame to
penalize anyone for creating, maintaining, and managing a specialized
archive.
===========================================================================
Request for Comments, Suggestions, and Interest
-----------------------------------------------
First, I want to thank Joachim for pointing out the mirror software
sometime back. I intended to respond immediately, but have been very
involved as an expert witness/economist on a multi-million civil lawsuit
here in Texas (which in the past few weeks, beginning virtually seconds
after my post, has taken up an enormous amount of time).
I have played with the mirror software on pip.SHSU.edu (our HP/UX) and am
quite pleased with it's performance. The issue of filename parsing is not
trivial and (at least) a VMS->U*ix/U*ix->VMS, as well as a VMS->VMS
implementation need to be be looked at (if one isn't already otherwise
available).
I have come across the platform-independent public domain version of ZIP
and UNZIP (I know that a newer version of one of these is coming out soon)
which handles directories, dates, filenames, etc., very nicely and is (best
I can tell) compatible with PK*ZIP (although it seems to be about 10-20%
more efficient in terms of performance that the PK*ZIP standards).
Possibly, at least between a few sites, ZIP'ed code may be the way to
handle some of these issues. For certain packages, I've already considered
using ZIP as the sole ftp'able source since the ZIP files are smaller than
tar.Z files, as well (which helps with economizing on storage devices).
It is important to point out that ZIP/UNZIP remains ignorant on U*ix->VMS
and U*ix->DOS filename parsing when multiple periods occur, though (at
least in its current version; last I have is UNZIP V4.2 [March 20, 1992]
and ZIP V1.0 [September 29, 1991]). I can make these available for
FILESERV/anonymous ftp access, if anyone is interested (it is the C source
code with various makefiles, rather than the executable).
Finally, I've been watching the discussions on a few other lists. I've
almost come to the conclusion that, based on record differences (if nothing
else), parsing U*ix to VMS may not be possible/practical. If this is the
case, I don't know how to proceed, short of one site running parallel U*ix
and VMS archives and somehow coordinating between the two (which, while I
cannot commit the resources presently, I have been led to very strongly
believe may be a possibility at SHSU).
Any comments, suggestions, indications of interest in working on this,
offers of technical know-how, etc., will be warmly appreciated. I do plan
to keep this project (at least initially) as public as possible and do
appreciate Nelson's okay to use tex-archive as a sounding board (we may
have to get another list running at a later date; if so, reports will be
returned to tex-archive). I have never claimed to be anything other than
an economist with an interest in this area, so technical developments along
these lines will be totally dependent upon someone other than me.
Regards, George

Subject: SPFONTWARE updates on FILESERV/Niord
Norman Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.EDU> forwarded me the updates to his
SPFONTWARE collection of utilities for conversion of Hewlett-Packard
softfonts to and from TeX PK/TFM format (for MS/DOS platforms). Below is
his announcement, as well as a portion of FILESERV's description file. I
truly extend my thanks to Norm for working on this, as well as working with
me in getting these archived.
--George
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I'm pleased to announce the release of new versions of PktoSFPto, SFPtoPK,
and MergeSFP. PKtoSFP and SFPtoPK have been in beta-testing for a while
now and appear stable enough for a general release. If you do experience
any problems, don't hesitate to let me know.
The major new feature in SFPtoPK and PKtoSFP is support for HP AutoFont
Support files. AutoFont Support files are a "standard" that HP is promoting
for font metric information. They serve much the same purpose as the AFM
files that Adobe provides with their PostScript fonts.
I believe that many of the commercial font vendors now supply AutoFont Support
files with their fonts and I know that many of the font-rendering programs
(like MoreFonts and HP Type Director) can create AutoFont Support files.
In SFPtoPK, AutoFont Support files provide better metrics to use when
constructing the TeX TFM file. All of SFPtoPK's options for doing things
like kerning and spacing are imperfect (good, I claim, but imperfect). If
you have an AutoFont Support file, you can get good metrics without all of
the approximation.
In PKtoSFP, the advantage is that, by creating AutoFont Support files, the
fonts created can be used in a wider range of applications. For example,
WordPerfect cannot use softfonts unless you purchase a special third-party
installation program. However, if you have AutoFont Support files for your
softfonts, you can install fonts into WP with nothing more than PTR (if anyone
is particularly interested, I also have a program that creates AutoFont
support files directly from softfonts).
MergeSFP, I admit, is basically a recompilation with some incremental
improvements in the font-reading code. The documentation is also a bit
improved. I haven't had any enhancement requests, so I haven't done much with
MergeSFP.
In summary, the new releases are:
PK2SF210.ZIP (PKtoSFP vers 2.10)
SF2PK200.ZIP (SFPtoPK vers 2.00)
MRGSF130.ZIP (MergeSFP vers 1.30)
Notice that I've renamed the archive files in order to place version numbers
in the name. These versions supercede all other versions of these programs.
As I said before, please feel free to send me your comments about these
programs. I'll do everything I can to help out if you have a problem and I'm
always willing to entertain enhancment requests.

P.S. If there is sufficient interest, I can provide a program that creates
TeX TFM's directly from AutoFont Support files (without the intervening
softfont). This could be used to create good metrics for builtin laserjet
fonts, for example. Since I can't use the builtin fonts with my DVI driver,
I haven't actually done this (yet).

Subject: SFWARE updates on FILESERV/Niord
Norman Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.EDU> also passed along an updated public
version (v.1.1A) of his SFWARE files (these are shareware). This version
fixes a number of small bugs that were discovered after the release of
v1.00 and adds one new special effect (tilt--which rotates characters to
any angle). A complete list of the fixes/improvements made since v1.00 is
attached below. It's worth pointing out that Shareware Magazine can make
favorable reviews -- this package is one they actually liked.
Attached are Norm's list and FILESERV's description file for this package.
Again, my sincerest thanks are extended to Norm for working with me in
getting this archived.
--George
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Here is a (nearly) exhaustive list of the fixes/improvements since v1.00:
SfFx: compression flag was random, resize sometimes truncated the right-most
and/or bottom-most rows of pixels, fill sometimes updated the font
descriptor cell-size incorrectly, mirror wasn't adjusting the font
descriptor baseline correctly, improved inter-character spacing in the
slant effect, resize (at integral magnifications) looks better (no
rounding errors can occur).
SfRotate: the font header wasn't being updated correctly.
SfView: now starts at first character in font rather than at ASCII 0 when run
SfInfo: was failing to close each font file, could cause the "too many open
files" error to occur.
SfGraph: graphics background color of 0 (black) no longer fails
General: improved scalable font detection.
Boy, that list sure looks long! My appologies if anyone got bitten by any
of these. No one reported any problems which, I figure, means one of three
things: 1) no one is using Sfware (I hope that's not true), 2) no one found
any of these problems (except me, and I hope that _IS_ true), 3) everyone
is too shy to tell me when they find a problem. All I can say about #3 is,
please send me _any_ comments you have (good or bad). I'll do everything I
can to help you out, and I don't bite (I promise ;-).

P.S: obTeX: I use Sfware in combination with PKtoSFP and SFPtoPK to use
these neat effects with TeX all the time...

SFWARE
------
The SFWARE package includes four UUENCODEd ZIP files (in 46 mailable parts)
for Norm Walsh's (walsh@cs.umass.edu) Sfware utilities (version 1.1A) which
allow you to download, rotate, compress, expand, view, and perform special
effects on softfonts. The effects provided include bold, fill, convert to
fixed spacing, halftone, hollow, invert, mirror, outline, convert to
proportional spacing, resize, reverse, shade, shadow, slant, stripe,
three-d, hollow-three-d, and filled-three-d effects. The effects can be
tailored and customized for any font with various parameters and shading
patterns. One new special effect has been added in 1.1A -- tilt --which
rotates characters to any angle.
Sfware is distributed in five archive files: SFW11AP1, SFW11AP2, SFW11AD1,
SFW11AD2, and SFW11AEX. The 'P' archives contain the programs and the 'D'
archives contain documentation. It is absolutely vital that you have BOTH
program archives before you try to use Sfware. The EX archive is (relatively)
small and contains a "sample sheet" that will give you a feel for Sfware
before you download the whole thing.
These programs only work under MS-DOS. The menu-shell requires a hard disk
and 400+kb of memory. The special effects cannot be applied to scalable
fonts. These programs are shareware.
In summary, what you need:
SFW11AP1.ZIP
SFW11AP2.ZIP
These archives contain the programs for Sfware. You must get both of these
archives or Sfware will not work!
SFW11AD1.ZIP
SFW11AD2.ZIP
These archives contain the documentation. The "D1" archive documents the
full-screen shell. The "D2" archive documents the command line utilities.
It is recommended that you start with the full-screen shell and move on to
the command-line interface if you find a need.
SFW11AEX.ZIP
This is an examples archive. It is considerably smaller than the others
and contains an over-view as well as an examples page (to print on your
laser printer) that will give you a feel for the kinds of things Sfware can
do. If you know you want Sfware, you don't need SFW11AEX.ZIP.
These files are available for retrieval via mail by including the command:
SENDME SFWARE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file, say,
SFWARE.SFW11AD2_UUE_5OF9, include the command:
SENDME SFWARE.SFW11AD2_UUE_5OF9
in your mail message to FILESERV. If you only wish to retrieve a certain
file set, say, SFWARE.SFW11AEX_UUE*, include the command:
SENDME SFWARE.SFW11AEX_UUE*
in your mail message to FILESERV.
The SFW11AP1.ZIP, SFW11AP2.ZIP, SFW11AEX.ZIP, SFW11AD1.ZIP, and
SFW11AD2.ZIP files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory [.SFWARE].

Hello,
some users reported a bug in TeXShell V2.4 to me, the autor.
To inform those who did not write to me directly or who want
to download TS24.ZIP I prepared a short file (appended to
this message). George D Greenwade placed it into the same
directory as TS24.ZIP and told me to write to you; if you
have TS24.ZIP in your archive, please copy the message below
to a file TS24.BUG and place it into the directory with TS24.ZIP.
Regards,
J"urgen Schlegelmilch
---------- here's the message: TS24.ZIP -------------------------
If you wanted to print your document, pressed F9 to invoke
the Print file dialog and pressed Enter to terminate the
dialog and start printing, the TeXShell sometimes crashes.
Then just enter a Start page and End page value in the dia-
log, and there is a very good chance that everything will
work. The bug is located in the inputlines of that dialog,
and I will fix it in the next release.

Subject: SEMINAR files on FILESERV/Niord
A few days ago, Timothy Van Zandt announced his SEMINAR package for making
slides in LaTeX on comp.text.tex. I have retrieved the files and made them
available on FILESERV and Niord. FILESERV's description file follows.
Regards, George
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SEMINAR
-------
The SEMINAR package includes Timothy Van Zandt's <tvz@Princeton.EDU>
version 0.92 of seminar.sty and related files to use in making slides.
seminar.sty is a LaTeX document style for typesetting slides or
transparencies, and accompanying notes. It has many advantages over
SliTeX. Here are some of the style's special features:
* You can use any fonts that work with LaTeX, including PostScript
fonts and AmSFonts.
* Slides can be landscape and portrait within the same file.
* Color is supported through PostScript.
* It is a LaTeX style, rather than another format.
* It is compatible with AmS-LaTeX.
* The slides can have a frame and a colored background.
* The magnification can be changed with a single command.
* Overlays can be produced from a single slide environment.
* Accompanying notes, such as the text of a presentation, can be put
outside the slide environments. The slides, notes or both together
can then be typeset in a variety of formats.
Some of these features require a PostScript output device.
To retrieve the complete package of 33 distribution files, please include
the command:
SENDME SEMINAR
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file from this
package, say, SEMINAR.XCOMMENT_DOC, include the command:
SEMINAR.XCOMMENT_DOC
in your mail message to FILESERV. All DVI documentation files associated
with this package have been UUENCODEd and split for mail distribution.
For anonymous ftp access, the files reside in the [.SEMINAR] directory tree
of Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8). The individual files are in the [.DOC],
[.INPUTS], and [.SRC] subdirectories of [.SEMINAR]. Alternately, a
compressed U*ix tar file, a compressed VMS backup saveset, and a
DOS-compatible ZIP file of the tree and files are in SEMINAR-V0_92.TAR_Z,
*.BCK_Z, and *.ZIP, respectively.

Subject: modes.mf 0.10 available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I have released version 0.10 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/modes.mf
You can also get it (soon) by email from George Greenwade's (thanks,
George!) file server if you cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a
body of `sendme modes'. It is about 46K.
This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common
definitions for write-white printers and `special' information.
This version has only minor fixes:
* `=' is used in special output instead of ` := ', to conserve space
* new modes for the CG 9600 and Varityper 4300
If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
existing ones, please send them to me.

Subject: sauter parameter files version 1.3 available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I've updated my packaging for Unix of John Sauter's Metafont files
to make Computer Modern fonts at any point size.
You can get version 1.3 by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z.
This release adds parameter files for the Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic,
contributed by Glenn Thorbe and Wayne Sullivan (wsulivan@irlearn.ucd.ie).
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. You can get LaTeX from
archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]:TEX/TEX3/latex, and dvips from
labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.
Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.

Subject: web2c 5.851c available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I have released a new version of web2c, the port of the basic TeX
project web programs (TeX, Metafont, GFtoPK, etc.) to Unix. You can get
it by ftp from (at least):
(Boston) ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{web,web2c}.tar.Z
(California) ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1]:TeX/{web,web2c}.tar.Z.
Send bug reports to me.
There are no new features in this release, just bug fixes.
I've updated my modified xdvi and dvips which use the same path
searching code. They are on ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex also.
Some people have asked me about the relationship between my releases and
the Unix TeX tape available from the Northwest Computing Support Center
at the University of Washington. The answer is that my directory
`src-5.851<version>/' which the tar files unpack into becomes the
directory `TeX3.141/' on the tape; there are not two diverging ports.
The UW tape also includes all the fonts, macros, DVI drivers, and other
good stuff that you need to have a working TeX system. The Northwest
Computing Support Center is supported only by the revenues from the
preparation and distribution of tapes, and is required to be fully
self-supporting. It receives no support from the University of
Washington. I urge you to order a tape if you can afford it, so that
NWCSC can continue to afford to organize and distribute UnixTeX. Send
email to elizabeth@u.washington.edu for the details.

Subject: ASTROSYM on FILESERV/Niord
In response to questions appearing from time to time on INFO-TeX, TeXhax,
UKTeX, comp.text.tex, and other places for astrological/astronomical
symbols in TeX, Peter Schmitt <A8131DAL@AWIUNI11.BITNET> has prepared a set
of MetaFont files. He has kindly passed them along for our archives and
your use. Below is the description file.
--George
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ASTROSYM
--------
ASTROSYM includes Peter Schmitt's <A8131DAL@AWIUNI11.BITNET> MetaFont code
to create an AstroSym font containing the astronomical symbols used for the
planets and the signs of the zodiac. The shapes of the symbols are taken
>From various sources. For some symbols more than one shape was found --
for these symbols variants are included. The shapes were reviewed by some
historians and astronomers, and the `main shape' reflects their preference.
The main style used for the symbols in AstroSym is calligraphic (strokes of
varying breadth). An additional version uses a uniform stroke. It is
supplied in two variants (thin and thick strokes). The size of the
symbols, and the breadth of the stroke, can easily be changed in the driver
file. The MetaFont code of AstroSym uses the plain base, but is completely
independent of the cm-fonts.
The AstrSym-font contains the following characters:
calligraphic style:
\char0 - \char10 : main shape - the planetary system
\char11 - \char22 : main shape - the signs of the zodiac
\char23 - \char28 : variant shapes
uniform stroke, bold : \char100 - \char128
uniform stroke, thin : \char200 - \char228
To retrieve the complete ASTROSYM package of seven files, include:
SENDME ASTROSYM
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should require only a specific file from this set,
say, ASTROSYM.UNI, include:
SENDME ASTROSYM.UNI
in your mail message to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp access, the files are
in the [.ASTROSYM] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8). In addition
to the individual files, a ZIP file (00_ASTROSYM.ZIP) is available.
Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)
File Blocks Purpose
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASTROSYM.CAL 35 Character definitions - calligraphic style only
ASTROSYM.COM 10 Character definitions - common to both styles
ASTROSYM.DOC 6 A README-type information file
ASTROSYM.MAC 7 The macro file
ASTROSYM.MF 5 The driver file
ASTROSYM.TEX 4 Sample file with symbol list
ASTROSYM.UNI 22 Character definitions - uniform stroke only
Approximate total blocks in full ASTROSYM package = 89

Subject: Lucida for TeX version 1.1 available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
A few weeks ago I put metric files for using the PostScript Lucida fonts
with TeX on
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/lucida/lucida.tar.Z
I've updated that to version 1.1. This version includes two files from
Sebastian Rahtz for using Lucida with NFSS. I haven't tested them
myself.
These files will be of no use to you unless you also have the Type 1
PFA/PFB/etc. files with the outlines.
This includes the math fonts as a (more or less) drop-in replacement for
Computer Modern. I've worked some on the magic math font parameters,
but no doubt improvements are possible.
I used virtual fonts to do this. I suggest using Tom Rokicki's dvips as
your DVI-to-PostScript program. dvips is on
labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z.
Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz, who did much of the initial work, and Chuck
Bigelow and Kris Holmes, who designed the typefaces.

Subject: TeX Archives and TeX Macro Index
Hello.
As many of you already know, I'm compiling an Index of TeX Macros. My
goal is to have an entry of the following sort for all
publicly-available macros.
Name: btxmac.tex
Description: Defines macros that make BibTeX work with plain TeX.
Keywords: plain TeX, BibTeX, bibliography
Author: Karl Berry and Oren Patashnik <opbibtex@cs.stanford.edu>
Supported: yes
Latest Version: v0.99j, 14 Mar 1992
Archives: labrea*, ymir
(The * after labrea indicates that labrea is the home archive of the
file.)
Since I'm including information about archives, I want to have a
section describing the major TeX archives, how to reach them, and how
to submit files to them. My current list, reproduced below, is based
upon Guoying Chen's list from the Supplement to the Frequently Asked
Questions, with a few modifications based on last year's TUGboat
Resource Guide.
I would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to read over the
list and
a) send many any corrections that should be made,
b) supply brief instructions for submitting files to these archives,
similar to the instructions give for ymir, and
c) send me analagous entries for any archives that are not currently
listed, but should be.
If you would like to know more about the TeX Macro Index, please grab
the file pub/dmjones/texindex-proposal from theory.lcs.mit.edu. It's
available via anonymous ftp or by sending mail with the line "send
dmjones/texindex-proposal" to archive-server@theory.lcs.mit.edu. I'll
also be happy to answer any questions you have.
Yours,
David.

TeX.Ac.Uk looks fine; others will undoubtedly supply the missing info.
May I suggest one other item for your list: a `mirrored-by' entry
(or even an `occasionally mirrored by'). Rusmv1.Rus.Uni-Stuttgart.De
is painfully slow from the UK, but Akiu.Gw.Tohoku.Ac.Jp is blindingly
fast, and seemed to have the betatest stuff from Stuttgart within a
few days. Just a thought ...

Subject: STYLE UPDATE: endfloat.sty v. 2.0 on FILESERV/Niord
James Darrell McCauley <jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu> kindly forwarded me
version 2.0 of endfloat.sty (to update v. 1.2) for your access. For your
reference:
> % The purpose of this style is to put all figures on pages by themselves
> % at the end of an article in a section named Figures. Likewise for tables.
> % Reference can be made in the text of where the figure should have been
> % (only caption appears - see \markersintext [default] and \nomarkersintext
> % below. \ref and \label always works on the ones at the end). This is
> % usually required when preparing submissions to journals.
For version 2.0
- Fixed gobble of float position specifiers.
_ Added def's of \tablename and \figurename.
- Moved formatting of figure/table markers to \figureplace and \tableplace.
- Style change: in-text markers are now centered reminders like
"[Figure 4 about here.]"
- Style change: added list of tables and figures to the table and figure
sections.
- Changed default to \markersintext.
- Fixed trivial typo in \@openposttbls.
- Corrected problem of extra blank spaces in the output when \nomarkersintext
was in effect.

Subject: COLORS.STY/SHADING.STY on FILESERV/Niord
Fred Knight <knight@ll.mit.edu> kindly forwarded me three files of possible
interest to PostScript users, especially to users with access to color
PostScript devices. COLORS.STY implements grayscale or color selection
>From LaTeX for PostScript. It works with black-and-white and color
PostScript printers. A wide variety of colors is defined by default. You
can add literally a rainbow of colors (up to 738) by utilizing their RGB
values from RGB.TXT, which Fred was kind enough to pass along as well.
To retrieve either of these files, include the command(s):
SENDME STY.COLORS
SENDME STY.COLORS_RBG_TXT
or, if you want both, the command:
SENDME STY.COLORS*
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
Also, Fred was kind enough to pass along SHADING.STY, a LaTeX variant of
the SHADEBOX.TEX TeX macro posted to INFO-TeX in January by Jim Hefferon
<HEFFERON@SMCVAX.BITNET>. Mark Roth <mroth@afit.af.mil> modified the TeX
macro for consistency with LaTeX to provide the ability to create
PostScript shaded boxes for output text.
To retrieve SHADING.STY, include the command:
SENDME STY.SHADING
in your mail to FILESERV (or SENDME STY.SHADEBOX_TEX if you want the TeX
macro).
For anonymous ftp access, each of these files resides under the filenames
associated with the SENDME commands above in the [.STY] directory on
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).

Announcing MergeSFP v1.31
MergeSFP to is a free utility from Small Planet Software. MergeSFP combines
multiple HP softfont files into a single softfont. MergeSFP is an MS-DOS
program.
MergeSFP v1.31 fixes two small bugs present in the 1.30 release. Through an
oversite on my part, the sample .MRG files distributed with MergeSFP use an
equal sign to seperate /master option from it's parameter (i.e. /master=#1).
The documentation states that a colon should be used (and, in fact, the option
isn't recognized with the "="). I've change MergeSFP so that either a colon
or an equal sign can be used.
Additionally, the /symset options didn't have any effect in MergeSFP v1.30.
Features in brief:
- many options for defining the output softfont
- handles class 2 compressed softfonts
- Complete documentation provided in a DVI file.
Caveats: (Hey, I gotta be fair...)
- The source code is not available (at present, anyway).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Announcing PKtoSFP v2.11
PKtoSFP to is a free utility from Small Planet Software. PKtoSFP converts
TeX fonts into LaserJet softfont files. PKtoSFP is an MS-DOS program.
The significant change from 2.10 to 2.11 is the correction of a long-standing
bug in the way that PKtoSFP reads TeX PK files. Without going into too much
detail, every character definition in a PK file begins with a "flag byte" that
indicates what kind of character header is used for the following character.
PKtoSFP (prior to v2.11) misinterpreted some flag values. This could have
resulted in a corrupt SFP file but was more likely to cause PKtoSFP to issue
an "insufficient memory" message. I've converted hundreds of fonts and (so
far) have only found one font that used this flag byte (a PS2PK'd version
of an "illuminated manuscript"-like font).
Secondarily, I've fixed a deficiency in PKtoSFP that caused it to ignore
the high-order part of a /type number larger than 255.
Features in brief:
- Converts directly from PK files (allowing up to 256 characters/font)
- Automatically handles the \L slash character at position '040 in the
TeX font (so your softfont doesn't have a non-blank space).
- Handles PK fonts created for other (non 300x300dpi) output devices.
- Complete documentation provided in a DVI file.
Caveats: (Hey, I gotta be fair...)
- The source code is not available (at present, anyway).

Subject: ADDRESS updates on FILESERV/Niord
Jackie Damrau <damrau@bitbucket.ssc.gov> kindly forwarded me a copy of some
updates to the ADDRESS package she and Michael Wester authored. For your
reference, the description file is attached below.
Regards, George
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ADDRESS
-------
The ADDRESS package includes the macro files and presentation paper of
Jackie Damrau <damrau@bitbucket.ssc.gov> and Michael Wester's
<wester@spectre.unm.edu> ADDRESS macro set. From the abstract of the
paper ("Form Letters with 3-Across Labels Capability" presented at the 1991
TUG meetings in Dedham, MA):
[ADDRESS presents] a general-purpose program for generating form
letters, using either TeX or LaTeX. Given three inputs: a preamble
file for initializations, a list of blank separated addresses, and a
letter template, this program can be used to generate a letter per
address and provide personalizations as directed by the template.
Sample applications are presented, including one which constructs
3-across mailing labels. Thus, both form letters and mailing labels
can be generated from the same list of addresses by simply changing
two inputs to the program.
You may retrieve the entire package of 10 files by including the command:
SENDME ADDRESS
in the body of a mail mesasge to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
A complete distribution of the ADDRESS macro set requires all 10 files in
this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should
only need one of these files, say ADDRESS.README, use the command:
SENDME ADDRESS.README
in your message to FILESERV. For users with anonymous ftp facilities,
these files are available from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the
directory [.ADDRESS]; a shar file of the complete package is available
in the directory [.ADDRESS.FTP].

Subject: XYPIC on FILESERV/Niord
After seeing some discussion on and interest in it, I have retrieved
Kristoffer H. Rose's <kris@diku.dk> XYPIC for your access. Attached is the
description file from FILESERV.

XYPIC
-----
XYPIC includes the files for Kristoffer H. Rose's <kris@diku.dk> February
24, 1992 release (Version 2.5) of XY-pic and XPPT. XY-pic is a macro
package for AMS-TeX, plain TeX, LaTeX, and AMS-LaTeX for typesetting
diagrams with the following characteristics:
-- Specified as a matrix of entries aligned in rows and columns.
-- Any entry may be connected to any other entry using arrows that are
automatically rotated and stretched as required to meet their target;
a variety of arrow styles may be used.
-- Arrows may be decorated with labels that are `tied` to a specified
point of the arrow independent of its direction.
-- Special support for arrows that cross each other, arrows that `go by'
other entries, combined arrows, and arrows that bend around other
entries.
-- Support for entries and arrows that are independent of the matrix
structure.
XPPT is a document style for AMS-TeX that extend the standard AMSPPT
`pretty-print' and compatible styles. Highlights include:
-- cross-references,
-- automatic numbering of headings, captions, and theorems,
-- table of contents generation,
-- Bib-TeX bibliography interface,
-- inclusion of `verbatim' program text, and
-- options for 8-bit characters, RCS interface, and much more.

STMARY
------
The STMARY package includes the files of the St Mary's Road symbol package
by Jeremy Gibbons <jeremy@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> and Alan Jeffrey
<alanje@cogs.sussex.ac.uk>. This package contains a number of new commands
for use in math mode, and a new document style option ``module'', for
modularizing large .sty files. The St Mary's Road symbol package contains
a font designed to complement the AMS symbol fonts by adding symbols for
domain theory, linear logic, process theory and program calculation,
including the double square brackets.
By defining over 100 new commands, the package provides support for new:
-- large operators
-- binary operators
-- relations
-- arrows
-- delimiters
-- special symbols used for building other symbols
To accommodate TeX implementations with limited memory, these symbols can
be added selectively via the innovative module approach used in this
package. Also, support is provided for the Old Font Selection Scheme and
the New Font Selection Scheme.
To retrive this package of 19 files, include:
SENDME STMARY
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
Should you require a selected file from this package, such as
STMARY.MODULE_STY, include:

Subject: DIAGRAMF on FILESERV/Niord
The second of Jeremy and Alan's packages David submitted to our archives
for your access is diagramf -- an interface between (La)TeX and MetaFont.
Attached is the description for your reference.
--Geoorge
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
DIAGRAMF
--------
The DIAGRAMF package includes the files associated with the June 2, 1992,
(version 1.1) release of Jeremy Gibbons' <jeremy@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> and Alan
Jeffrey's <alanje@cogs.sussex.ac.uk> diagramf interface for importing
diagrams drawn in MetaFont to (La)TeX. In the DIAGRAMF package, TeX and MF
communicate by auxiliary files, in a similar fashion to the MG
TeX-PostScript interface (`Problems on the TeX/PostScript/graphics
interface', TUGboat 11(3)).
When you run MF on an *.MF file, it reads in a related *.DIM file, which
specifies the dimensions of all the boxes. From this, MF calculates where
to put each label, and outputs a .DIA file, containing TeX code.
Similarly, when TeX encounters the instruction \diagramfile{*} it loads in
*.DIA and produces *.DIM. And so we can have our MF cake and eat it in
TeX.
To retrive the package of 8 files, include the command:
SENDME DIAGRAMF
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
To retrieve the specific file DIAGRAMF.ARROWS_MF, include

I trust everyone on tex-archive saw this on INFO-TeX or comp.text.tex, but
wanted to pass it along here for your reference, as well. I didn't write
the original and have done a little editing on what was posted last night;
this is now the version on pip. The TeX-archive directory will be changed
to tex-archive/submissions or tex-archive/incoming soon (and I will pass
that information along once the proper and consistent name is determined).
Pip still doesn't have a whole lot of disk space, but this will eventually
be our Unix archive supporter, in addition to our nice little uVAX, Niord.

Subject: Style updates on FILESERV/Niord
Donald Arseneau <asnd@triumfcl.bitnet> kindly forwarded me four style
updates recently. The affected files are cite.sty, overcite.sty,
tabls.sty, and ulem.sty. Briefly:
CITE -- Compress ranges of citation numbers; adjust spacing; allow spaces
in input; \citen gives just number(s).
OVERCITE -- Like cite.sty, but superscripts; handles punctuation.
TABLS -- Keep text in {tabular} & {array} from touching vertically
ULEM -- Underlining for emphasis (\em). Define \ULine{..} also.
In [over]cite, he added
% Version 1992: Use \@citepunct for commas so it is easier to change.
Now, where commas are used as delimiters (i.e., [4-7,9,8,Einstein,6]), you
have control over whether or not a space exists.
Also, in overcite (only), he added \/ to allow hyphenation of the previous
word -- looks better in italics.
In tabls, the version is raised to 3.1 from 3.0. 3.1 adds some braces to
match some updates to LaTeX.
In ulem, the most work appears -- now it is acceptable as a plain TeX macro!
% Version 1992: make " {} " give two spaces, as it should; support \newline
% and \\, \nolinebreak and \linebreak; add definitions necessary for
% plain TeX use. Support various types of `underline'.
Quite a few options are now available.
To retrieve these files via e-mail, include:
SENDME STY.CITE
SENDME STY.OVERCITE
SENDME STY.TABLS
SENDME STY.ULEM
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For anonymous ftp retrieval, the files are in the syntax associated with
the SENDME commands above in the [.STY] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8).
The TeX community ought to extend its thanks to Donald for his continuing
efforts on these useful and popular files, as well as the others he is
responsible for creating.
Regards, George

Subject: MS-DOS compiled versions of ZIP/UNZIP on FILESERV/Niord
I've had a few private posts from people on MS-DOS machines which, for
various reasons, cannot create the UNZIP and ZIP utilities I announced last
week (most of them have created it on their larger system and want it for
the PC now that they're hooked on its performance and platform
independence).
I have created yet another package for your access, which contains the
pre-compiled MS-DOS executables for your use. Attached is the description
file.
--George
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
ZIP_PC_COMPILED
---------------
The ZIP_PC_COMPILED package includes UUENCODEd files which include the
MS-DOS executables and documentation for Info-Zip's ZIP (v. 1.0) and UNZIP
(v. 4.2) utilities. This set is built entirely from the source files
distributed in the ZIP and UNZIP packages and is completely compatible with
the wide variety of platforms under which those utilities can be compiled.
This implementation is largely compatible with the widely-used PK*ZIP suite
of utilities, although there are some differences.
The UNZIP variant of this distribution UUDECODEs to UNZIP42.EXE, a
self-exploding executable which creates the UNZIP executable under MS-DOS,
as well as the accompanying documentation. The ZIP variant of this
distribution UUDECODEs to a ZIP archive file, which may be unzipped with
UNZIP or with most versions of PKUNZIP. The ZIP archive file includes the
MS-DOS executable and documentation for ZIP.
To retrieve the package of two files distributed in three parts, include:
SENDME ZIP_PC_COMPILED
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
To retrieve a specific file, such as ZIP_PC_COMPILED.UNZIP42_UUE, include:
SENDME ZIP_PC_COMPILED.UNZIP42_UUE
in your mail message to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp retrieval of these
files, they are available in their original form from Niord.SHSU.edu

Subject: SPAN access to FILESERV/Niord
As usual, I overlook the simple and obvious. Michael Lemke
<michael@io.as.utexas.edu>, who was assisting me on an entirely unrelated
topic, pointed out that the archives available on FILESERV and Niord can
also be accessed via SPAN since THENET (the Texas Higher Education Network)
is SPAN-connected via UTSPAN::UTADNX. Users on SPAN can access SHSU's root
archive area in
UTSPAN::UTADNX::SHSU::MX_ROOT:[FILESERV]
You can then set default to any of the directories built off of the
[FILESERV] root, backup, copy, or view the file(s) or directories you wish.
Thought I'd pass this along. My thanks to Michael for pointing out this
interface tool which we can painlessly make available.

What is the SPAN number corresponding to SHSU? I am not able to find it.

Where does the number (171) come from? I never see them here and assume
they are generated somewhere -- but where???

You should be able to use the VMS SET HOST to us, however, I can't see the
benefit of doing so. There is not a per se public account here (with the
exception of the username BEARKAT, which is the general student information
account interface). If there is good reason to have a general access
account for this, I'm sure I could arrange to have one established, though.
> What is the SPAN number corresponding to SHSU? I am not able to find it.
SHSU is not directly on SPAN (I don't believe -- actually, just about all I
do know about SPAN is that it is a giant DECNET network, allowing remote
users to do things such as directory, backup, copy, set host, etc. --
effectively creating another remote access device). We use the SPAN host
at UTexas (UTSPAN::, I don't have that number) as a link for THEnet
(through another UTexas machine, UTADNX::, which also serves as the
Internet link for THEnet). THEnet is a DECNET-based network linking
universities, colleges, research organizations, some government agencies,
and the like in Texas. On THEnet (fortunately, on all networks), our
cluster alias name is SHSU. Thus, on SPAN, the only way I am aware of to
get to us (at the moment) is UTSPAN::UTADNX::SHSU:: with our archives in
MX_ROOT:[FILESERV...].
If you have any other questions or suggestions about our facilities or can
provide reason for the creation of a public account, please forward them to
me and I'll see what can be done.
Regards, George

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
(192.92.115.8).

Yes indeed they are generated somewhere. Your original mail was sent,
inter alia, to tex-archive@edu.utah.math; that mailing list explodes to
a number of archivists at sites throughout the world. The feed into the
UK arrives at Aston, where it is re-exploded to all the archivists who
look after the Aston Archive; mail headers are added like these:
> Reply-To: George D. Greenwade"George D. Greenwade"
> <bed_gdg%edu.shsu@uk.ac.nsfnet-relay>,
> Global TeX Archivists
> <tex-archive%edu.utah.math@uk.ac.nsfnet-relay>
Therefore, any of the archivists may reply to such mail and know that a
copy will be sent not only to the person who first mailed to
tex-archive, but also to all the readers of that list too
(unfortunately, if the original sender is a member of that list,
he/she'll receive two copies of the reply).
Before explosion, the Aston list-server adds a serial number to the
subject line, which is the 171 George was querying here. A unique
serial number is allocated to each message exploded at Aston, not just
for this list, but for all the others, such as Archive-Private too, and
every message's serial number is included in an X-Serial: header line.
(The numbers are unique on a list-by-list basis, not overall: this
allows recipients to notice if a message fails to reach them.) But
inclusion in the subject line makes extraction of mail on a particular
subject easier: when the mail exploder meets such mail where the (171)
or whatever is preceded by "RE:", it *doesn't* insert the new serial
number in the subject line; so one can say, with VMS MAIL for example,
SELECT /SUBJECT=(171) and get all the messages relating to your original
announcement and any replies.
Hope this clarifies things, and maybe gives some fresh ideas to the
maintainers of mailing lists.

Subject: New version of COMMENT.STY on FILESERV/Niord
Victor Eijkhout <eijkhout@cs.utk.edu> kindly forwarded a revised version of
comment.sty for our archives. This style is written to support (without
revision) both LaTeX and TeX, and is accompanied by examples of use in both
environments. The biggest enhancement is that this version allows the
user to define new comment versions, each controlled separately, by the
following syntax:
> \includecomment{versiona}
> \excludecomment{versionb}
>
> Text for a:
> \begin{versiona} % or, in TeX. \versiona
> is included.
> \end{versiona}
> % or, in TeX, \endversiona
>
> Text for b:
> \begin{versionb} % or, in TeX, \versionb
> is not included.
> \end{versionb}
> % or, in TeX, \endversionb
which would include the test "is included" but not "is not included". As
with the previous version, the \end{comment}, \end{versionX}, or
\endversionX must reside on a line of their own, beginning in column 1,
with no additional text, whitespace, or anything following. This file
should be fully backward compatible, but provides the additional version
support not previosuly present.

\Beginboxit and provides new support for a ``boxit*'' environment so that
the box created is at least as wide as \hsize/\textwidth.

Marcel van der Goot <marcel@vlsi.cs.caltech.edu> was rooting around our
archives and noted that our version of his boxit.sty was slightly outdated.
This style creates a ``boxit'' environment, which drawn lines around its
contents -- quite handy for offsetting material. He kindly forwarded me
his update of 27 Feb 1992, which slightly changes the definition of
\Beginboxit and provides new support for a ``boxit*'' environment so that
the box created is at least as wide as \hsize/\textwidth.

Subject: version 1.4 of sauter parameter files available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I've updated my distribution of John Sauter's Metafont files
to make Computer Modern fonts at any point size. (And others' analogous
files to make fonts in other typefaces.)
You can get version 1.4 by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/sauter.tar.Z.
This release updates parameter files for the Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic for
a new version, contributed by Alexander Samarin, with more characters
and more typeface variants than previously. The Cyrillic parameter
files were contributed by Glenn Thobe (thobe@getunx.info.com) and Wayne
Sullivan (wsulivan@irlearn.ucd.ie).
This version also adds a NFSS file for LaTeX, fontdef.sau, contributed
by knuutila@cs.utu.fi.
You can get the original Cyrillic files (except I renamed them for
consistency, as Alex suggested) by themselves in pub/tex/scyrillic.tar.Z.
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...'.
Besides the Computer Modern and the Glonti/Samarin Cyrillic, the
distribution also includes Sauter parameter files for the LaTeX symbol
fonts, contributed by Friedrich Haubensak.
The distribution includes an lfonts.tex for LaTeX and a MakeTeXPK for
dvips which take advantage of these fonts.
You can get LaTeX from archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]:TEX/TEX3/latex,
and dvips from labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*. (Alternatively, you can
get a version of dvips I have modified to use exactly the same font
searching scheme as TeX, the GNU font utilities, and (my modified) xdvi
>From ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvips.tar.Z.)
Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.

Subject: Calendar style/macro/program on FILESERV/Niord
Michael Barr <barr@triples.Math.McGill.CA> posted a calendar program to
INFO-TeX back in early January, 1992, which I placed in our archives as
STY.CALPROG (to be saved by you as calprog.sty). Actually, it is not a
style, per se, nor even an input macro. Instead, it is a program in LaTeX
to produce calendars for one year at a time. The original code was
hardcoded to 1992 (easily changeable, but hardcoded, nevertheless). Today,
he forwarded me a revised version, which uses a \typein prompt for the year
you wish to be processed. It is (a) a neat piece of work in seeing the
math as to how leap years are calculated, (b) an interesting application of
the picture environment, and (c) nice to have if you need a calendar for
any year.
The new file is saved as STY.YEARCAL_TEX and may be retrieved via e-mail by
including:
SENDME STY.YEARCAL_TEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For anonymous ftp retrieval, the file is in the [.STY] directory on
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).
Regards and thanks are extended to Michael, George

Subject: checksum program for VAX VMS, and zip vs zoo
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.709569294.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
I've updated the Solovay checksum program to work under VAX VMS, and
included a VMS executable file in the distribution. The VMS C compiler
is an extra-cost option, so not all VMS sites have it. A small source
code change was required in checksum to work around the omission of
unsigned integer format items in sscanf(), a clear violation of
ISO/ANSI Standard C (ANSI X3.159-1989, Section 4.9.6.2). I chose to
do this with preprocessor conditionals, rather than a cweb change
file, in order that the output C source code can be compiled on any
machine.
I've also add a README file and a checksum.hlp file from the nroff
output of checksum.man.
You can find the new version on ftp.math.utah.edu in
~ftp/pub/misc/checksum.* (with anonymous ftp, "cd pub/misc"). Via
e-mail, "send index from ftp/misc" to tuglib@math.utah.edu. The
individual source files are also stored in ~ftp/pub/tex/pub/checksum
(e-mail: "send index from ftp/tex/pub/checksum").
The distribution is available in tar, zip, and zoo formats, and the
Makefile incorporates rules for automatic creation of a distribution
directory structure that includes the version number.
While extending the Makefile to handle this, I noticed that zip seems
to produce the most compact archive file:
-rw-r--r-- 2 beebe staff 155612 Jun 26 08:03 checksum-1-03.tar.z
-rw-r--r-- 2 beebe staff 112690 Jun 26 08:03 checksum-1-03.zip
-rw-r--r-- 2 beebe staff 154592 Jun 26 08:02 checksum-1-03.zoo
Zip files seem to be about 25% smaller than tar.z and zoo for other
archives as well, though my sample includes only 4 different archives
at present.
I also found that zoo has a distinct design flaw in the handling of
directory trees.
With tar, mention of a directory file on the command line results in
archiving of the directory and its complete subtree.
With zip, you have to specify a recursive command-line option to get
the same effect.
With zoo, you must explicitly name every file. In terms of the
checksum distribution, this means I must have a command line like
this:
zoo a ../checksum.zoo checksum checksum/* checksum/*/* checksum/*/*/*
That command line must be updated if an additional directory level is
included. There is a clear risk of incomplete distributions because
of this misfeature. Also, the expansion of this command line would
rapidly overflow the 128-char limit on IBM PC DOS, so use of zoo on
that system would require multiple steps to incrementally add files to
the archive.
Unless someone knows of a newer version that removes these flaws, I
propose to drop the use of zoo, and recommend against its use. The
version.c file in the zoo source code says
char version[] = "Version 2.01 (1988/08/25 12:43:57)";
If I have unfairly maligned zoo, I'll retract these criticisms.

Well, that is quite remarkable. I acquired the ZIP file from Utah,
unpacked it on my PS/2, checked it there, and then XCOPY-ed it over
NFS to my VAX. I then inspected the directory structure, moved to
the [...VAXVMS] sub-directory, and without really thinking, ran the
executable image. It worked. Nothing strange, you might think ---
yet this is without doubt the first time I have _ever_ successfully
acquired a VAX/VMS executable image from a non-VMS site on the
InterNet and been able to use (=execute) it. Even more remarkable,
the resulting image is in stream-LF format, whereas in the combined
experience of I and two colleagues, totalling well over thirty man-
years of VAX/VMS, we have _never_ seen an image in other than fixed-512
format. It seems that ZIP manages to retain the attributes other
archivers cannot reach!

Subject: zoo 2.10 -- new ports available
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.709683563.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
I've installed zoo 2.10 on SunOS 4.1.1 and DECstation ULTRIX 4.2 today,
and made new ports to Silicon Graphics IRIX 4.0.1 and Stardent 1520 OS 2.2.
The new versions are available on ftp.math.utah.edu in ~ftp/pub/misc
(with anonymous ftp, "cd pub/misc"):
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5358 Jun 27 16:00 zoo-2-10.tar-lst

-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5955 Jun 27 15:56 zoo-2-10.zoo-lst
Via e-mail, "send index from ftp/misc" to tuglib@math.utah.edu.
That directory also contains a directory subtree zoo/v2-01 and zoo/v2-10
with individual source files for bootstrapping convenience for sites
that lack tar, zip, and zoo. The zoo210.exe file is a self-unbundling
archive for IBM PC DOS; it does NOT incorporate the source changes
for today's port. The changed files in zoo/v2-10 are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 10624 Jun 27 15:44 makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 1628 Jun 27 15:32 machine.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 2783 Jun 27 14:39 portable.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 9170 Jun 27 14:34 options.h
and the zoo/v2-10/RCS directory contains earlier versions under

Subject: Major BibTeX style file collection update
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.709697149.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
I've spent half of today working on updating the BibTeX style file
collection on ftp.math.utah.edu in ~ftp/pub/tex/bibtex (via anonymous
ftp, "cd pub/tex/bibtex").
The collection is accessible via e-mail as well: a message "send index
>From ftp/tex/bibtex" to tuglib@math.utah.edu will return a contents
listing. A message "help" will get you started.
This is a MAJOR update. I began by merging in several new styles
contributed by a local colleague, Alan Rogers, and updating the
anonymous ftp directory with other styles that have been available for
some time to our local users.
I then used xarchie to scan the holdings of about 900 anonymous ftp
sites for files with .bst or .bst.Z, and fetched over all those with
names that did not previously exist in our collection. I did not make
any attempt to ascertain whether other archives possibly had different
versions (that would have been prohibitively time consuming, since
there were about 200 matches found by xarchie).
Next, I picked up everything that the Aston archive has.
Finally, I updated the makefile to augment the list of sample files
that I'd prepared a few months ago to illustrate the formatting of
every single style.
Here is the current list of new styles; there are 48 of them.
aaai-named.bst bbs.bst named.bst
abbrv.bst cbe.bst namunsrt.bst
abstract.bst cell.bst nar.bst
acm.bst dcu.bst nature.bst
agsm.bst humanbio.bst newapa.bst
alpha.bst humannat.bst phaip.bst
annotate.bst ieeetr.bst phapalik.bst
annotation.bst is-abbrv.bst phcpc.bst
apa.bst is-alpha.bst phiaea.bst
apalike.bst is-plain.bst phnf.bst
apalike2.bst is-unsrt.bst phnflet.bst
astron.bst jbact.bst phppcf.bst
authordate1.bst jmb.bst physics.bst
authordate2.bst journal-abbrev.bst plain.bst
authordate3.bst jtb.bst siam.bst
authordate4.bst kluwer.bst unsrt.bst
The index file gives further details about their contents.
A few of these have excessively long names; I'll be communicating with
the authors about shortening them in a standard fashion.
The ph*.bst files are produced automatically from Charles Karney's
physics.bst by application of the UNIX C preprocessor; physics.bst is
by itself not usable as a BibTeX style file.
Here are the sample LaTeX files; these too have excessively long
names, and it would take me another day to rectify that, so it will
have to wait.
xampl-aaai-named.ltx xampl-bbs.ltx xampl-nature.ltx
xampl-abstract.ltx xampl-cbe.ltx xampl-newapa.ltx
xampl-acm.ltx xampl-cell.ltx xampl-phaip.ltx
xampl-agsm.ltx xampl-dcu.ltx xampl-phapalik.ltx
xampl-alpha.ltx xampl-humanbio.ltx xampl-phcpc.ltx
xampl-annotate.ltx xampl-humannat.ltx xampl-phiaea.ltx
xampl-annotation.ltx xampl-ieeetr.ltx xampl-phnf.ltx
xampl-apa.ltx xampl-jbact.ltx xampl-phnflet.ltx
xampl-apalike.ltx xampl-jmb.ltx xampl-phppcf.ltx
xampl-apalike2.ltx xampl-jtb.ltx xampl-plain.ltx
xampl-astron.ltx xampl-kluwer.ltx xampl-siam.ltx
xampl-authordate1.ltx xampl-named.ltx xampl-unsrt.ltx
xampl-authordate2.ltx xampl-namunsrt.ltx xampl.ltx
xampl-authordate3.ltx xampl-nar.ltx
Finally, several of these styles require corresponding LaTeX styles:
apalike.sty astron.sty harvard.sty jmb.sty nar.sty
On a UNIX system, you can just do "make" to produce all of the .dvi
files completely automatically. I've done so today to verify correct
operation.

Subject: More on a major BibTeX style file collection update
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.709865658.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
My Saturday 27-Jun-1992 posting to tex-archive entitled ``Major BibTeX
style file collection update'' brought useful feedback from Barbara
Beeton and David Rhead. Barbara uncovered three .bst files not
previously included in the collection. David supplied test programs
for his author-date styles, plus a large test bibliograpy, test.bib,
that contains references to publications on bibliographies and
citations, as well as test cases for verifying the formatting of
bibliography styles.
I've spent much of today incorporating this new material into the
collection, and automatically generating new LaTeX test files for
testing the .bst files with test.bib. This effort, though long, has
been rewarding, for it uncovered errors in five of the .bst files, and
another error in the pair test.bib/newapa.sty which David and I are
discussing. I've fixed the first five of these; the last is not yet
resolved. I'm still awaiting word on the original version of
journal-abbrev.bst; the current one in this collection is a dummy
empty file.
I have installed the new files on ftp.math.utah.edu in the file
directory ~ftp/pub/tex/bibtex (via anonymous ftp, "cd tex/bibtex"; via
e-mail, "send index from ftp/tex/bibtex" to tuglib@math.utah.edu).
There are 84 files that have been added or changed today. If you
fetched things over after my Saturday posting, the easiest thing to do
will be to either fetch the 00tdir.* files to identify the changes, or
better, to fetch one of the new archive bundles added today:
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 9588 Jun 29 18:32 bstfiles.tar-lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 485733 Jun 29 18:18 bstfiles.tar.z
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 488968 Jun 29 18:33 bstfiles.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 12839 Jun 29 18:33 bstfiles.zip-lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 722617 Jun 29 18:31 bstfiles.zoo
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 10777 Jun 29 18:33 bstfiles.zoo-lst
These contain this list of files:
Makefile index *.bib *.bst *.ltx *.sty *.readme
This is not everything in that directory: it intentionally excludes
BibTeX source and documentation, and all subdirectories, so as to keep
these archive files manageably small.
As an aside, the new zoo 2.10 offers a new high-performance
compression algorithm that reduces the size of bstfiles.zoo from
722617 to 618042 bytes; this is still not as compact as compressed tar
and zip. Unfortunately, older zoo programs cannot handle such
archives, so I'm not using them in our ftp tree.

Subject: DIAGRAM macros on FILESERV/Niord
Michael Barr kindly forwarded two new files of interest. These supercede
his earlier catmac.tex, which should be removed from your collection.
Diagram.sty/tex includes a number of macros for drawing commutative
diagrams in special shapes as well as more flexible macros to paste
together more complicated diagrams. This macro set may be used under
either TeX or LaTeX. It is accompanied by its documentation file,
diagdoc.tex, which provides examples of usage.
To retrieve these via e-mail, include:
SENDME STY.DIAGRAM
SENDME STY.DIAGDOC_TEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If you wish to retrieve both with one command, use SENDME STY.DIAG*. These
files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu
[192.92.115.8] in the directory [FILESERV.STY].
Thanks to Michael for making these available, George

Full instructions for retrieving the Index from these machines are
appended to the end of this message. All of the archives have identical
copies of the Index. In order to minimize the burden on the net, please
pick the archive closest to you.
I am forwarding this announcement to all of the TeX-related mailing lists
that I know of. If you belong to a list that does not receive a copy of
the message, but which you think would be interested in the Index,
please forward this announcement. If you do so, I would appreciate it
if you would also tell me the name of the list.
A brief description of the Index follows.
David M. Jones
===========================================================================
This is an index of TeX macros. Its scope includes all macros that are
available via anonymous ftp or mail-server or some similar mechanism.
Commercial packages will be included only if a full Index entry is
supplied to me by the vendor.
Since the Index is devoted to macros, fonts and special-purpose programs
are mentioned only when they are necessary to explain the purpose of a
set of macros.
Each entry is divided into several fields with the following functions:
Name: The name of the macro package.
Description: A short (usually 1-3 line) description of the package.
Keywords: A list of keywords to facilitate searching for special-purpose
macros, as well as to help describe the macros. A glossary of
keywords can be found at the end of the file.
Archives: A list of archives where the package can be found. Whenever
known, the primary distribution site is marked with an asterisk.
Author: The name and address (preferably electronic) of the author of
the package.
Latest Version: The date and/or version number of the latest release of
the package.
Supported: Whether or not the package is supported, that is, whether the
author wants to receive bug reports and/or comments on the package.
See also: A list of other packages with similar features.
Note: Any additional information that seems pertinent.
In addition to the list of packages, the Index also contains a brief
list of TeX Archives with descriptions of the services they offer.
===========================================================================
HOW TO RETRIEVE THE TEX MACRO INDEX
First, here are some general instructions on anonymous ftp for those who
haven't used it before. After deciding which archive you want to use,
read the instructions below to find out the following three things:
1) the full name of the machine containing the archive
2) the name of the directory where the TeX Index is located
3) the name of the file containing the Index
In addition, you should check the name of the file to see if it ends in
".Z", ".zoo", or ".zip". If so, it is a binary file and you will have
to perform an extra step below.
Once you have all of this information, you should type the following
command:
ftp name_of_machine
When you are asked for a user name, type "anonymous". When you are
asked for a password, type in your email address. Next, type
cd name_of_directory
If the file you are retrieving is a binary file, then you must now type
the command
binary
Finally, retrieve the file by typing the command
get name_of_file
Once the transfer is complete, type
bye
to end the ftp session.

How to get TeX-index.Z from the archive at
Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University:
NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu.
Of course you must substitute your own address for this. This should be
a valid internet or uucp address. For bitnet users name@host.BITNET
usually works.

about 20.00 and 0900 UTC)).
ftp archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]
user name: anonymous or ftp
password: your own email address (e.g. john@highbrow.edu)
Don't forget to set binary mode if the file is a tar/arc/zoo archive,
compressed or in any other way contains binary data.
get TEX/DOC/TeX-index.Z
by mail-server:
send the following message to
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf!mail-server):
begin
path john@highbrow.edu (PLEASE SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS)
send TEX/DOC/TeX-index.Z
end
NOTE: *** PLEASE USE VALID INTERNET ADDRESSES IF POSSIBLE. DO NOT USE
ADDRESSES WITH ! and @ MIXED !!!! BITNETTERS USE USER@HOST.BITNET ***
The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
first issue the request:

Due to a hardware failure at the Stuttgart server others have been
faster than I... Anyway, the TeX macro index is now available from
ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/soft/tex/documentation/TeX-index. It is mirrored
automatically every week.

I just have finished tex--xet.change, a system-independent web change
file for TeX 4.141 for mixed direction typesetting.
The files tex--xet.change and tex--xet.doc are in the directory
"/soft/tex/tex-sources/tex--xet" of ftp.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.1.12]
Here an ectract from tex--xet.doc:
TeX--XeT contains the code necessary for mixed left-to-right and
right-to-left typesetting. This code is inspired by but different from
TeX-XeT as presented by Donald E. Knuth and Pierre MacKay in TUGboat 8,
14--25, 1987.
In order to avoid confusion with TeX-XeT the present implementation of
mixed direction typesetting is called TeX--XeT. It differs from TeX-XeT
in several important aspects:
(1) Right-to-left text is reversed explicitely by the ship-out routine
and is written to a normal DVI file without any begin-reflect or
end-reflect commands;
(2) TeX--XeT produces exactly the same line breaks as TeX when applied
to pure left-to-right text, in fact TeX--XeT passes the TRIP test
with very few and well understood modifications;
(3) therefore TeX--XeT is designed to be used instead of and not in
addition to TeX and consequently the pool file name is not changed;
(4) as an enhancement over TeX-XeT right-to-left text interrupted by a
displayed equation is automatically resumed after that equation.
In fact we are using the VM/CMS version of TeX--XeT here in Munich
instead of TeX for quite some time (not for mixed direction texts) with
no problems.
If you copy these files to your archive, please inform me where they
are. I will soon send out a general announcement and would like to
include the archive+directory names.
Thanks in advance Peter Breitenlohner

The CMTTSS package includes the METAFONT source files for Arthur Ogawa's
<ogawa@orion.arc.nasa.gov> family of fixed pitch, sans serif, condensed
fonts. These fonts are provided in three weights (light, regular, and
bold) and are based on cmbase and cmtt10.
To accomplish necessary changes, this distribution includes modified copies
of the files punct.mf, romanu.mf, and romanl.mf. Be careful that these
modified copies of the standard cm suite do not clobber the latter.
To retrieve the entire package of 7 files, include:
SENDME CMTTSS
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
To retrieve a specific file, such as CMTTSS.CMTTSSC10_MF, include:
SENDME CMTTSS.CMTTSSC10_MF
in your mail to FILESERV.
These files are available individually or packaged in a ZIP archive file
(CMTTSSC.ZIP) via anonymous ftp from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the
directory [FILESERV.CMTTSS].

Subject: xdvik 0.10 available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I have released version 0.10 of xdvik, my modified version of Paul
Vojta's xdvi.
It is available by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/xdvik.tar.Z
The major modification is to use the same path searching algorithms as
Unix TeX (i.e., web2c), the GNU font utilities, and my modified xdvi.
In addition, the configuration process is (more or less) automatic, in
the GNU style. The Makefile uses the standard variable names and
targets in GNU makefiles.
xdvik is based on patchlevel 11 of xdvi, i.e., the virtual support and
MakeTeXPK support is not present. I haven't updated it because I
personally don't need those features (I just generated bitmaps for the
PostScript fonts in the dvips encoding in the first place), and don't
have extra time to think about such things.

Subject: dvipsk 5.490o available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I have released version 5.490k of dvipsk, my modified version of Tom
Rokicki's dvips.
It is available by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z
The major modification is to use the same path searching algorithms as
Unix TeX (i.e., web2c), the GNU font utilities, and my modified xdvi.
In addition, the configuration process is (more or less) automatic, in
the GNU style. The Makefile uses the standard variable names and
targets in GNU makefiles.
Finally, the documentation is included in the GNU texinfo format (thanks
to zoo@cygnus.com for providing it).

FILLFORM
--------
The FILLFORM package includes Zdenvek Wagner's <Wagner@csearn.bitnet> files
for filling in various questionnaires in LaTeX without the direct use of a
typewriter. FILLFORM.TEX accepts interactive input of entries with
specified position and stores them in a file. You can preview the
filled-in form with framed entries so that you can find out whether your
will fit into the space available. If the entry does not fit, you can edit
the saved document (e.g., add `\small') and rerun FILLFORM.TEX. Finally
you rerun it without frames and print.
All you need is to have LaTeX or emTeX installed and to have a printer
which enables feeding of single sheets of paper. The file uses transfer
mechanism of SELECT.STY, which is included in this package. The SELECT.STY
and FAIRYSEL.TEX files are slightly different from those previously posted
to INFO-TeX, but FILLFORM.TEX will properly work even with the older
version.
To retrieve the set of five files, include:
SENDME FILLFORM
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
To retrieve a specific file, such as FILLFORM.SELECT_STY, include
SENDME FILLFORM.SELECT_STY
in your mail message to FILESERV. The individual files, as well as a ZIP
file of the entire contents, FILLFORM-V1.ZIP, is available for anonymous
ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory
[FILESERV.FILLFORM].
Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)
File Blocks Save file as:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILLFORM.FAIRYSEL_TEX 4 FAIRYSEL.TEX --- demonstration how to use
SELECT.STY
FILLFORM.FILLFORM_README 3 FILLFORM.README --- README file
FILLFORM.FILLFORM_TEX 17 FILLFORM.TEX --- the main file
FILLFORM.SAMPLFRM_TEX 6 SAMPLFRM.TEX --- sample file with comments
FILLFORM.SELECT_STY 5 SELECT.STY --- transfer mechanism needed by
FILLFORM.TEX
Approximate total blocks in full FILLFORM package = 35

Subject: filenames for fonts version 1.2 available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I have released version 1.2 of ``my'' font naming scheme for TeX fonts.
You can get it by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/fontname/fontname.texi
I will also send it to you by email if you cannot ftp.
It is in Texinfo format, so you will need the TeX macros in
the file texinfo.tex (available with most GNU programs) to be able to
print it; that same directory also has a texinfo.tex.
The rest of that directory contains files showing the naming scheme
applied to Adobe, Computer Modern, and AMS fonts.
The changes since version 1.1 are primarily just additional fonts. I
also discuss some of Frank Mittelbach's criticisms of the naming scheme
in TUGboat 13(1).
This is an update of my article in TUGboat 11(4). The main changes are
a much longer list of typeface families, a somewhat longer exposition of
the problems with the naming scheme, and a proposal for naming scheme
for arbitrarily-long names (and a proposed corresponding slight
enhancement to TeX, approved by Professor Knuth).
I am happy to get additions, criticisms, or other comments.

Subject: Looking for VMS testers.........
I am looking for a few people, on VMS systems, to assist me in testing a
TPU-based parallel to Nelson Beebe's filehdr package (the one which puts
the nice headers on files in archives; the ones which assist David Jones in
his macro indexing heroics, the ones which have consistent information
between files, the ones which include the Solovay checksums, the ones....).
I am attaching the file TPUHDR-INFO.README below my sig. If you are not on
VMS, go ahead and delete this now (in mail) or go to rn (in news). The
package requires DCL (if you're on VMS, you got that) and TPU (as I
understand it, if you're on VMS, you got that, too). You can retrieve this
package via e-mail by including the command
SENDME TPUHDR
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
It comes via a 2-part VMS_SHARE distribution (TPU required a few lines in
excess of 80 charachters and I didn't want to get any strange line breaks),
which includes 5 files total. Alternately, it is available for anonymous
ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the file
[FILESERV.TPUHDR]TPUHDR-V0_A.ZIP, or the individual source files are in
[FILESERV.TPUHDR.SOURCES].
As this is a beta version, I am looking for comments, suggestions, and
where I screwed up. Please let me know what needs to be done.
Nelson Beebe worked on getting the Solovay checksum package archived
yesterday to include improved VMS support (in addition to Unix and DOS),
BTW (thanks, Nelson!!!!). You can retrieve this by including
SENDME CHECKSUM
in your mail to FILESERV, or get the file
[FILESERV.CHECKSUM]CHECKSUM-V1-03.ZIP from Niord. This is the four-part
checksum, which includes the checksum, word count, line count, and
character count, which is utilized by TPUHDR and by Nelson's filehdr.

TPUHDR-INFO.README
==================
TPUHDR is a file header creation package for VAX/VMS which is based on the
logic of Nelson Beebe's filehdr package for Emacs Lisp. It is not intended
as a port of Beebe's filehdr package. Instead, it is based on the inherent
languages supported by default in the VMS environment -- Digital Command
Language (DCL) and Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) Text Processing
Utility (TPU) language.
The function of TPUHDR is to create, as a stand-alone package, file headers
for files already in existence. It is intended to be utilized as a last
step in preparing files for archival purposes. Therefore, authors are free
to utilize any editor to actually create and work on files. Moreover,
TPUHDR was designed to utilize TPU command files so that users who use
personalized TPU section files may continue to use them even in the final
steps of production.
Necessarily, each file must have the following fields:
@file-type{
filename = "filename.in-lower-case",
date = "date of processing",
time = "time of processing, with an optional timezone string",
supported = "supported by author field -- either yes or no"
}
The "file-type" field above is automatically determined by the extension of
the file.
Additional fields supported include:
version = "version of file",
author = "author's name",
address = "author's mailing address",
e-mail = "author's electronic mail address",
telephone = "author's telephone number",
FAX = "author's FAX number",
archived = "sites which are known archives of the file",
keywords = "a string of keywords attached to the file",
abstract = "a brief abstract of the file's use, purpose, etc.,
similar to an embedded README-type file,
codetable = "which codetable is effective for this file",
checksum = "a checksum field, including a CRC-16 checksum, a
line count, word count and character count",
docstring = "a brief description of the file; if a checksum is
included, the following string is automatically
appended as the end of the docstring:
The checksum field above contains a CRC-16
checksum as the first value, followed by the
equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word
count) utility output of lines, words, and
characters. This is produced by Robert
Solovay's checksum utility."
The default ordering of fields created by TPUHDR is:
@file-type{
filename = "",
version = "",
date = "",
time = "",
author = "",
address = "",
e-mail = "",
telephone = "",
FAX = "",
supported = "",
archived = "",
keywords = "",
abstract = "",
codetable = "",
checksum = "",
docstring = ""
}
Each quote delimited string may span multiple lines. TPUHDR is designed so
that each quote delimited string is followed by a comma, with the exception
of the final quote delimited string, as indicated above. The inserted text
for each field is left aligned with the first quote of the field.
Appropriate comment characters, as determined by the extension on the
filename, are inserted preceding all text included by TPUHDR. The entire
file header is delimited by a bracketed set. The opening (left) bracket is
preceded by a "commercial at" sign (@) and file-type, as determined by the
extension on the filename, while the closing (right) bracket stands alone
on a line following all other text.
Since you are placed in an editor following processing, you may make any
alterations you desire to this ordering prior to exiting and processing the
checksum (if applicable). It is highly suggested to use a left margin of 1
and a right margin of 50 when processing these field-related files outside
of the TPUHDR environment as TPUHDR makes no attempt to reconfigure lines
-- this allows users to exactly design their headers in a more WYSIWYG-type
format for blocks, spaces, examples, etc.
TPUHDR makes every attempt to minimize the author's work. The logic of
searching for this information is based on a VMS-based searchpath for its
information files, looking first to the current default directory, then to
the user's login directory. For this reason, it is suggested that users
experiment with this on a file in their SYS$LOGIN directory the first time
they use it. This will create the files
TPUHDR-AUTHOR.TXT
TPUHDR-ADDRESS.TXT
TPUHDR-EMAIL.TXT
TPUHDR-FAX.TXT
These files are not deleted upon exiting. If they exist in the user's
login directory, they will never have to be touched again and the
information will be introduced automatically each time TPUHDR is utilized.
Virtually all of other supported fields has a similar TPUHDR-fieldname.TXT
file, which is created in the user's current default directory. The user
is prompted whether or not to delete these files on exiting TPUHDR. If the
file(s) are not deleted, they are automatically included in subsequent
applications of TPUHDR. Each of the files associated with TPUHDR may be of
any length. Information is prompted for in TPUHDR sessions, whereupon the
user is placed into a TPU-based editing session, with margins automatically
placed at 1 and 50 -- the appropriate locations for subsequent inclusion.
These extra TPUHDR-fieldname.TXT files may be created prior to running
TPUHDR, if you choose, and they will be automatically included in the
processing of your file.
To use TPUHDR, place the files:
TPUHDR.COM -- DCL command file which drives TPUHDR
TPUHDR.TPU -- Main TPU command program defining TPUHDR contents and layout
TPUCOMM.TPU -- Brief TPU command file defining file-specific information
field layout
TPUHDR_CHECKSUM.STANDARD_TXT -- Standard checksum paragraph for
inclusion when checksum is used
TPUHDR_ISO-ASCII.STANDARD_TXT -- Includes the text "ISO/ASCII", which is
the most common VMS text format
in a common directory, which users may have read and executable access to.
The LOCAL section of the file TPUHDR.COM should not be altered, except as
explicitly indicated. This section of the DCL driver file for TPUHDR
provides support and gives guidance for two controlling definitions which
sites may prefer to utilize system-wide -- TPUHDR_DIR (where the five files
above are retained) and TPUHDR_CHECKSUM (a foreign command symbol pointing
to Solovay's checksum utility, which is not compatible with the standard
VMS CHECKSUM utility; for VMS implementations, the Solovay checksum
executable is named CHKSM.EXE).
By default, the DCL command driver file, TPUHDR.COM searches for CHKSM.EXE
in SYS$SYSTEM, so that it may be called via a foreign command
TPUHDR_CHECKSUM := $CHKSM
Look in the area near the top of TPUHDR.COM delimited by "LOCAL" and "END
LOCAL". If this does not suit your site's application (i.e., CHKSM.EXE
does not reside in SYS$SYSTEM), please include a specific hard-coded
definition of TPUHDR_CHECKSUM in the lines near the string:
$! ***** INCLUDE YOUR DEFINITION FOR ..........
An area is provided for hard coding, on a local basis, the logical
TPUHDR_DIR and the foreign command symbol TPUHDR_CHECKSUM.
If you do not have Solovay's CHECKSUM package, which now supports VAX/VMS
and MS-DOS compatibles, as well as most Unix applications, it is available
for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the
directory [FILESERV.CHECKSUM] as a ZIP archive. The files are also
available for electronic mail retrieval from FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET
(FILESERV@SHSU.edu) by including the command SENDME CHECKSUM in the body of
a mail message to it.
To use TPUHDR, simply create a foreign command symbol to TPUHDR, such as:
TPUHDR :== @dev:[dir]TPUHDR
the, at the DCL-level prompt, type
TPUHDR file-to-be.processed
TPUHDR is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.TPUHDR] as a ZIP archive. This
package may also be retrieved via electronic mail from FILESERV by
including the command SENDME TPUHDR in the body of a mail message to it.
TPUHDR is intended to be a fully supported package. Please forward any
comments to its author:

Subject: New UNIX ftp daemon available
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.712880409.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
Since it looks like others will be interested in this software, and
since I'm about to leave Salt Lake City for 7 weeks, I've placed on
ftp.math.utah.edu in pub/misc these files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe 5441 Aug 3 15:03 /usr/spool/ftp/pub/misc/ftpd.tar-lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe 213213 Aug 3 15:03 /usr/spool/ftp/pub/misc/ftpd.tar.z
This is a modification of the ftp daemon that wuarchive.wustl.edu
developed; numerous sites on the Internet are now running it. The
release notes from its author point out that he has a long list of
things to do, but doesn't have time just now to work on it, so it is
available unsupported (with a plea NOT to communicate with the
author). Since I will be unavailable for help consultations for
several weeks, use discretion in installing it. I ran it here for a
few days on a private machine making experiments before I installed it
on our main ftp server machine.
I've made useful modifications to it to support retrieval of directory
subtrees in zip and zoo format, as well as the original tar and
compressed tar formats. All modifications are under RCS control, so
you can use "rcsdiff -r1.1 foo.c" to find what changes were made to
foo.c. If you don't have RCS installed, you get it from the Free
Software Foundation archives on prep.ai.mit.edu; RCS is NOT required
to build this software. The top-level NOTES file records my comments,
experience, and motivations for the changes.
This server has been running on ftp.math.utah.edu since 23-Jul-1992.
It provides improved logging for site administrators, although the
NOTES file points out that this still is not as complete as the code
intends it to be. It provides a way to have ftp CWD (or CD) commands
display a text file, as well as to display a login text file. These
files can be customized with dynamically-adjusted format items to
insert things like the current date. Thus, when I just logged into
ftp.math.utah.edu, its login message said
...
230-* This system may be used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The local *
230-* time in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, is Mon Aug 3 16:15:54 1992. *
...
Having the local date available is useful for remote sites in other
time zones, since it helps them chose transfer times outside of peak
usage hours.
For external users, the best news is the ability to fetch directory
trees in a variety of formats, preserving net bandwidth and file time
stamps.

Subject: Chicago Manual of Style files on FILESERV/Niord
Any number of times, people have asked for a Chicago Manual of Style
(Turabian) citation format in BibTeX. I would like to thank Glenn Paulley
<gnpaulle@maytag.waterloo.edu>, who has forwarded me a set of three files
to do this, which are now available from SHSU. I have not tested these
exhaustively, but it appears that they are somewhat LaTeX specific in
design, although I am sure that the LaTeX sub-style option, chicago.sty,
can be tweaked to operate in TeX.
The citation formats supported include:
(author-last-name year)
(author-last-name and author-last-name year)
(author-last-name et al. year)
(author-last-name)
author-last-name
author-last-name (year)
(author-last-name and author-last-name)
(author-last-name et al.)
(year) or (year,year)
year or year,year
The reference list ordering is alphabetical by author or whatever passes
for author in the absence of one. Support for abbreviated author lists and
for year-only citations are provided by having the citations actually look
like:
\citeauthoryear{full-author-info}{abbrev-author-info}{year}
The chicago.sty LaTeX file is required to use the BibTeX styles chicago.bst
and chicagoa.bst.
Features of chicago.bst:
========================
- full names used in citations, but abbreviated citations are available.
- if an entry has a "month", then the month and year are also printed
as part of that bibitem.
- book, inbook, and manual use "location: publisher" (or organization)
for address and publisher. All other types list publishers separately.
- "pp." are used to identify page numbers for all entry types except
articles.
- organization is used as a citation label if neither author nor editor
is present (for manuals).
- "et al." is used for long author and editor lists.
Features of chicagoa.bst:
=========================
- supports an "annotation" field for annotated bibliographies.
- all other features of chicago.bst.
To retrieve these three files via e-mail, include:
SENDME BST.CHICAGO*
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.BST], either individually or
packaged together in the ZIP archive CHICAGO.ZIP.

Subject: ArabTeX (2.04) on FILESERV/Niord
In <24149@ifi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de> (comp.text.tex, 7 Aug 92
11:01:51 GMT), Klaus Lagally <lagally@azu.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de>
posted that his ArabTeX (version 2.4; 5 August 1992) had been installed on
the Stuttgart server. This was followed rather quickly by
<24149@ifi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de> (c.t.t, 7 Aug 92 16:28:35 GMT) from
Dave Bakken <bakken@cs.arizona.edu> informing that he had brought the
package to his cs.arizona.edu node (thanks, Dave!). I have installed the
new files on FILESERV and Niord for your access.
For FILESERV users, include:
SENDME ARABTEX
SENDME ARABTEX_MFINPUT
SENDME ARABTEX_TEXINPUT
and you should get everything (replace SENDME with LIST in the commands
above to get an annotated listing of each of these packages). Note that
the precompiled fonts are NOT included in this distribution, but the
Metafont sources for them are.
For anonymous ftp users, the ZIP file, ARABTEX-V2_04.ZIP is available in
the [FILESERV.ARABTEX] directory on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), with
everything included. If you want the individual files, normally named,
look in [FILESERV.ARABTEX.ROOT], [FILESERV.ARABTEX.TEXINPUT],
[FILESERV.ARABTEX.MFINPUT], and [FILESERV.ARABTEX.FONTS] (the last is where
the precompiled fonts reside).
BTW, Prof. Lagally warned in his post:
> CAUTION: Versions older than 2.02 should NO MORE be used.
Version 2.02 was the prior distribution package on FILESERV and Niord, so
if your files are from here, this warning probably does not apply.
Regards, George

Subject: New version of setspace.sty on FILESERV/Niord
I have been working on a problem with a user and located what I believe to
be a major bug in the setspace.sty file we have been distrtibuting. The
commands \doublespacing, \onehalfspacing, and \singlespacing required an
additional font size changing to activate them. I added what I believe to
be the necessary lines to fix this, as well as a header for archive use.
Comments on any of the changes are certainly welcomed.
I've always used (for example) \begin{doublespace} ... \end{doublespace}
instead of the global definition \doublespacing and never ran across this
previously. I did not change these environments -- just the global
definitions noted above. The file, as modified, makes these commands
available immediately without a manual fontsize change and corrects
slightly for changing from multiple spacing back to single spacing (at
least, IMO, it's more graceful).
To retrieve the updated file via e-mail, include:
SENDME STY.SETSPACE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The file is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.STY].

Subject: Yet another update to hangcaption.sty on FILESERV/Niord
Following the flurry of activity regarding hangcaption.sty in the past few
days, Rainer Schoepf <schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE> forwarded a patch to the
style David M. Jones <dmjones@theory.lcs.mit.edu> worked on and I announced
recently. David employed this patch in updating the file. The fix:
(a) works around a bug in LaTeX, and
(b) measures the caption correctly by including the room for the colon and
the space.
The current version number is 1.03. If Rainer says the LaTeX bug is worked
around, my guess is that it is worked around -- thanks, Rainer and David!

Subject: sched.sty on FILESERV/Niord
Jim Hefferon <HEFFERON@SMCVAX.BITNET> forwarded me an innovative twist on
the handy schedule.sty which does not rely on PostScript to shade boxes.
Instead, it uses PicTeX (neat idea, Jim!). The syntax and use is very
similar to schedule.sty. Jim notes in the file:
% 1) In addition to LaTeX, this uses PiCTeX. I've not tried this with
% anything less than a big TeX (that is, a TeX with an enlarged memory).
% I'd be surprised if it worked.
% But, given that emTeX is free, and great, and given that memory
% is cheap, I didn't think this was an unreasonable burden.

Subject: New versions of ZIP (1.9, patch 1) and UNZIP (5.0) on FILESERV/Niord
The subject line says it all. Attached for your reference are the
description files. As soon as I can find the pre-compiled versions for the
PC, they will be made available and announced. I have the sources for the
Windows version, which I will soon have finished and will make available.
Note that the ZIP files are for patch level 1, which many sites do not have
up yet (it was released about one week after the original posting of the
code for 1.9). This patch is a real enhancement. If you already have ZIP
1.9, check the date on the first screen to verify the date of 26 August
1992. For VMS users, both packages are very enhanced (multiple period
filename parsing is now supported, as is retention of RMS file
characteristics!).
--George
***************************************************************************
ZIP
---
The ZIP package includes the sources of the 20 August 1992 (version 1.9) of
ZIP, with patches through patch level 1 (26 August 1992). ZIP is a
(somewhat) PKZIP-compatible utility which is useful for compressing and
archiving files. Its compression performance in creating compressed
recursive archives including directory trees which can later be fully
recreated with prior file attributes and filedates consistently surpasses
standard U*ix tar.Z formats. Moreover, these compressed ZIP files may be
recreated on a number of systems, allowing more modularity and portability
than compressed tar files.
This version of zip has been ported to a wide array of Unix and other
mainframes, minis, and micros including VMS, OS/2, Minix, MSDOS, Windows
NT, Atari, and Macintosh (the latter two have not been tested recently).
Although highly compatible with PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of
MSDOS fame, the primary objective has been one of portability and
other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features not found in the PKWare version
include creation of zip files in a pipe or on a device, VMS and OS/2
extended file attributes, conversion from Unix to MSDOS text file format;
and, of course, the ability to run on most of your favorite operating
systems. And it's free.
ZIP 1.9 is is compatible with PKZIP 1.93a, except when two features are
used: encryption or ZIP file created in a pipe or on a non seekable device.
PKZIP versions of 2.0 will support such files, and unzip 5.0 already
supports them. (Thanks to Phil Katz for accepting suggested minor changes
to the zip file format.)
Due to the wide variety of machines supported and large size of the
distribution, please note which file sets to properly retrieve.
To retrieve the files necessary to compile ZIP on your operating system,
include the commands:
SENDME ZIP
and, if necessary
SENDME "Product set"
where "Product set" is replaced with the operating system/language-specific
product below (i.e., ZIP_ATARI, ZIP_MAC, ZIP_MSDOS, ZIP_NT, ZIP_OS2, or
ZIP_VMS). Note that the ZIP package alone is the base required for all
applications and may be adequate for most U*ix sites. To retrieve a
specific file, such as ZIP.README, include:
SENDME ZIP.README
in your mail to FILESERV. For anonymous ftp retrieval of this package, it
is available on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory
[FILESERV.ZIP]. The sources are available in a VMS backup saveset
(ZIP-19P1.BCK), a compressed U*ix tar file (ZIP-19P1.TAR_Z; to be saved as
Zip19p1.tar.Z), and in ZIP format (ZIP-19P1.ZIP).
PKZIP 1.93a is only an alpha version. If you wish to create zip files
compatible with the official version of PKZIP (1.10), you must use ZIP 1.0.
ZIP 1.9 cannot create files with the old compression method (implosion).
You may retrieve of ZIP 1.0 via e-mail by replacing the word "ZIP" in the
SENDME commands above with "ZIP10" or via ftp as a compressed tar archive,
VMS backup saveset, or in ZIP format from Niord in the [FILESERV.ZIP]
directory. For FILESERV purposes, ZIP 1.0 is wholly contained and you will
not need an additional "Product set".

UNZIP
-----
The UNZIP package includes the sources of the 21 August 1992 (version 5.0)
of UnZip, a (somewhat) PKUNZIP-compatible utility which is useful for
uncompressing files compressed with ZIP. This version of UnZip has been
ported to a wide array of Unix and other mainframes, minis, and micros
(including VMS, OS/2, Minix, MSDOS, Windows, Amiga (not tested recently),
and Macintosh). Although highly compatible with Phil Katz's PKZIP and
PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, the objective has been one of portability
and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Although highly compatible with
PKware's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities of MSDOS fame, the primary objective
has been one of portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. Features
not found in the PKWare version include default extraction of directory
trees (with a switch to defeat this, rather than the other way around);
VMS, Macintosh and OS/2 extended file attributes; and, of course, the
ability to run under most of your favorite operating systems.
The ZIP package also available at this site properly compresses and
archives files for later handling by ZIP. Both ZIP and UNZIP are supported
by the Info-Zip project, which continues to improve both products.
Also included is an ancillary programs: ZipInfo. ZipInfo lists technical
information about a ZIP archive, including information file access
permissions, encryption status, type of compression, version and operating
system of compressing program, and the like. The VMS distribution includes
BILF, a utility to convert files to stream-LF format (option l) or to
convert files to fixed-length 512-byte binary record format (option b).
New features in this version include support for deflation (the new,
high-performance compression method introduced in the PKZIP 1.93 alpha);
much faster decompression; relaxed copyright restrictions, due to rewritten
code (see COPYING for details); multiple password guessing, for encrypted
zipfiles; support for options stored in an environment variable, to change
the default behavior; and a new Unix filter version of UnZip called FUnZip.
One very notable new feature which will be appreciated by VMS users is the
parsing of multiple-period filenames to VMS systems. Many bugs were fixed
as well. The History file details the changes, and BUGS indicates the ones
which have been identified, but are yet to be addressed or are being
addressed.
Due to the wide variety of machines supported and large size of the
distribution, please note which file sets to properly retrieve.
To retrieve the files necessary to compile UNZIP on your operating system,
include the commands:
SENDME UNZIP
and, if necessary
SENDME "Product set"
where "Product set" is replaced with the operating system/language-specific
product below (i.e., UNZIP_AMIGA, UNZIP_ATARI, UNZIP_MAC, UNZIP_MSDOS,
UNZIP_NT, UNZIP_OS2, or UNZIP_VMS). Note that the UNZIP package alone is
the base required for all applications and may be adequate for most U*ix
sites.
The files noted below are available for anonymous ftp retrieval as a
complete set from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory
[FILESERV.UNZIP]. The files available include a VMS backup saveset
(UNZIP-50.BCK), a U*ix compressed tar file (UNZIP-50.TAR_Z; to be saved as
UnZip50.tar.Z), and in ZIP format (UNZIP-50.ZIP).
Product set: UNZIP
(base required for all systems; should be adequate for most U*ix applications)

Subject: TeX Macro Catalogue
Greetings.
I'm preparing to release an update of the TeX Macro Catalogue this
weekend. In anticipation, I'd like discuss a couple of matters with
the TeX Archive world.
First, after discussion with some people who think that the current
name is misleading or inadequate, I'm going to change the name of the
Index. Here are the new names I've decided on:
1) "tex-styles-and-macros.txt" for the official archive name (replace
"txt" by "zip", "zoo" or "arc" for the corresponding compressed names;
we'll just have to live with ".txt.Z" (or .txt_z) for compressed
files, I guess)
2) "texmacro.txt" for the official 8+3 name
3) "A Catalogue of TeX Macros" for the official document title
I realize that (1) violates the rule that files should have a single
name on all platforms, but in this case I think that it's more
important that the file have a descriptive name so that people who are
browsing through a directory listing won't simply pass it over.
On theory.lcs.mit.edu, after I change the name of the file, I'll put a
note in TeX-index pointing the user to the new file. Some have
suggested that we could have multiple links to a single file, but I
feel that this is a bad idea since a naive user would probably end up
retrieving two (or more) copies of the file.
Second, I'd like to discuss the best way of keeping the Catalogue
up-to-date on other archives. One question is should I post an
announcement to tex-archive every time I change the archival copy on
theory? I don't expect this ever to be more than once a week, and
once every month or so is probably more likely. Nevertheless, it
seems like it would be tiresome for most of the list. A possibly
relevant fact is that I plan to start posting monthly reminders to
comp.tex.text (or should I send it to info-tex, George?) about the
Catalogue.
A related question is what is the easiest way to distribute the
Catalogue to the archives? I'd like to encourage archives to mirror
the Catalogue automatically whenever possible. I know that a couple
of archives are already doing this. An update interval of a week
should be perfectly adequate, though you should feel free to mirror it
more frequently if you like. Further, if your site allows anonymous
submission of files, either by anonymous ftp or by mail, then I should
be able to write a script that will automatically send your archive a
new copy of the Index. Then I could just run my update script every
time I install a new version of the Index.
I think that's everything I wanted to bring up. I'd like to compile a
list of Archives that can be counted on to have up-to-date copies of
the Catalogue and stick it in the header of the Catalogue (see below
for my current list of archives that have copies). However, I'm
several days away from releasing the new version, so there's no
particular rush.
Cheers,
David.

This new version corrects a bug in the recognition of BibTeX entries
of the form @entryname(key = "value", ..., key = "value") where the
last "value" string was not followed by a trailing comma. Certain
keywords are now output in mixed letter case (e.g. @Techreport ->
@TechReport). There are otherwise no new features in the program.
New installation features are:
* a README file,
* a "make test" target for validation prior to installation,
* support for C++ compilation.

Subject: bibindex released
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.718154935.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
I have placed on math.utah.edu in the anonymous ftp directory
pub/tex/bib these files:
-rwxrwxr-- 1 beebe staff 415 Oct 3 17:04 bibindex.tar-lst
-rwxrwxr-- 1 beebe staff 39564 Oct 3 17:04 bibindex.tar.z
-rwxrwxr-- 1 beebe staff 31011 Oct 3 17:04 bibindex.zip
-rwxrwxr-- 1 beebe staff 837 Oct 3 17:04 bibindex.zip-lst
-rwxrwxr-- 1 beebe staff 42812 Oct 3 17:04 bibindex.zoo
-rwxrwxr-- 1 beebe staff 646 Oct 3 17:04 bibindex.zoo-lst
They contain bibindex and biblook, a pair of programs written by Jeff
Erickson, together with UNIX man pages, a README file, and a Makefile.
bibindex creates a compact binary index file with extension .bix from
a .bib file, and biblook uses the .bix and .bib files to provide fast
lookup with Boolean search capability. You can use it to find, e.g.
all .bib entries with Smith in the authors, and polynomial in the
titles. This is usually much more convenient than using string
searching in a text editor, or with pattern matching utilities, like
grep.
These programs have been tested on the following UNIX systems:
System O/S Compilers
DEC 3100 ULTRIX 4.2 g++, lcc
HP-9000/850 HP-UX 8.0 c89
IBM 3090 AIX cc
IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2 c89
NeXT NeXT 3.0 cc (== gcc)
Silicon Graphics IRIX 4.0.1 cc, lcc
Stardent OS 2.2 cc
Sun SPARC 2 SunOS 4.1.1 acc, gcc, g++ (CC doesn't work,
because of erroneous system header
file declarations; I'm checking
whether there is a newer version)
Notice that the code can be compiled with C++ as well as C.
DEC VAX VMS and IBM PC DOS ports remain to be investigated.

Subject: Update to shading.sty at SHSU
On Mon, 5 Oct 1992 08:38:30 -0600, Art Mulder <art@cs.ualberta.ca>
forwarded me an update (potential bug fix) and documentation for
shading.sty (a LaTeX style option supporting text on a shaded background).
Use of this style requires a PostScript printer and dvi-file converter.
The style and accompanying documentation were submitted as separate files,
but I have placed them in a single file on the SHSU archives to ensure that
users get both.
The main change was in the name of "linewidth" variable in the style to
"outlineboxwidth" since that variable name conflicted with another variable
of the same name in "latex.tex" when doing miniparagraphs.
To retrieve the file via e-mail, include:
SENDME STY.SHADING
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The file is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from ftp.SHSU.edu in
[FILESERV.STY]STY.SHADING.
A note on the anonymous ftp node is warranted (and will be repeated
individually): ftp.SHSU.edu is an Internet DNS CNAME (alias) for
Niord.SHSU.edu (at the moment). The archives will continue to be supported
on Niord for the foreseeable future; however, they will soon be supported
by a larger and faster machine, which ftp.SHSU.edu will point to as soon as
possible. It may take a few days for the CNAME to fully propogate, but it
is strongly preferred that you come in via ftp.SHSU.edu instead of
Niord.SHSU.edu (Niord is scheduled to become a dedicated mail handler).
Regards and thanks to Art, George

Subject: dvipsk 5.495a available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I have released version 5.495a of dvipsk, my modified version of Tom
Rokicki's dvips DVI-to-PostScript translator.
It is available by ftp from
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z
The major modification is to use the same path searching algorithms as
Unix TeX (i.e., web2c), the GNU font utilities, and my modified xdvi.
In addition, the configuration process is (more or less) automatic, in
the GNU style. The Makefile uses the standard variable names and
targets in GNU makefiles.
The documentation is included in the GNU texinfo format (thanks
to zoo@cygnus.com for providing it).
Here are the important changes in this version:
* TFM, VF, and LaTeX style files added (from dvipslib).
* README, NEWS, INSTALL files rewritten/created.
* `check' target added.
* Update for dvips 5495.

Subject: lucida (math) version 1.2 available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I've updated the Lucida font distribution to version 1.2.
ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/lucida/lucida.tar.Z
These files will be of no use to you unless you also have the Type 1
PFA/PFB/etc. files with the outlines.
Changes in this release:
* \cdot (and hence \cdots) spacing corrected (vastly decreased).
* Use dvips' new afm2tfm program.
* New version of psnfss.sup for using these fonts with NFSS.
The distribution includes the math fonts as a (more or less) drop-in
replacement for Computer Modern. I've worked some on the magic math
font parameters, but no doubt improvements are possible.
I suggest using Tom Rokicki's dvips as your DVI-to-PostScript program.
dvips is on labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z, and my hacked version
with the same path searching algorithm is on
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z. The afm2tfm program in those
distributions is what I used to create the virtual fonts.
Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz, who did much of the initial work, and Chuck
Bigelow and Kris Holmes, who designed the typefaces.

Subject: eplain 2.2 available
Reply-To: karl@cs.umb.edu
I have released Eplain version 2.2. 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-2.2.tar.Z
You might also be able to 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'.
I'm making this release only because it's been over seven months since
the last release, and a number of bug fixes have accumulated. I haven't
yet incorporated any of the good suggestions people have sent me
(cross-referencing to figures and the like as well as pages and
equations, figuring out the multi-column situation, generalizing toc
files to other kinds of auxiliary files, indexing commands, etc., etc.).
I hope to be able to do that soon. (I hope to be able to release a lot
of things soon, as always...funny how that never happens.)
Please send bug reports directly to me.
Here is a summary of the most significant changes (from the file NEWS in
the distribution):
* New \toks register \everylist, expanded at the start of every list.
* \footnoterulewidth defined as 2in, not 2true in, thus allowing the use
of \mag after reading eplain.tex. The `2true in' was Knuth's, but I
don't know why he did it.
* \obeywhitespace works inside a \vbox.
* \boxit is \long, and uses \ehrule and \evrule.
* \writenumberedtocentry expands the chapter number, so `\the
<register>' can be used.
* \verbatim doesn't begin and end with \par, so it can be used in the
middle of a paragraph.
* \pathafterhook added to \path in path.sty, so macros can execute
cleanup actions.
* The \path command and its friends are documented in the manual.
For those 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'.

Subject: New version of SFPtoPK on FILESERV/Niord
Norm Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu> (who has my best wishes in his
"study-for-comps" semester) forwarded me a new version of his popular
SFPtoPK. From Norm:
SFPtoPK version 2.1(beta) fixes a small bug in SFPtoPK v2.00.
If you tried to convert a font that was _both_ small enough
to fit entirely in memory _and_ had a header shorter than 64
bytes, SFPtoPK v2.00 would miss the first character in the
font. The only fonts that I have seen that have a header
smaller than 64 bytes are old LJ+ softfonts. Unfortunately,
the PCX2FONT program creates this style of header. My
apologies for the inconvienience. If you have any trouble,
please let me know...
The files are available via e-mail as a 6 part UUENCODEd ZIP archive by
including:
SENDME SPFONTWARE.SF2PK21B*
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The file SF2PK21B.ZIP is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.SPFONTWARE].
The SPFONTWARE package and directory also includes the rest of Norm's
convenient utilities to convert Hewlett-Packard softfonts to *and* from
TeX PK/TFM format. For more information on the files via e-mail, include:
DIRECTORY SPFONTWARE
in a mail message to FILESERV. Users of anonymous ftp may retrieve the
description file (SPFONTWARE.DESCRIPTION) from Niord in the directory
[FILESERV].

Subject: Lollipop v0.93
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 92 15:30:22 EST
From: eijkhout@cs.utk.edu
Update announcement for Lollipop TeX.
I've just put a .tar.Z file and a (Macintosh) .hqx file
of Lollipop v0.93 on cs.utk.edu in /pub/eijkhout/tex.
This will be the last official update until the end of the
year. This update incorporates most of the comments of
users so far. There may be occasional minor updates before
the end of the year, but these will upward compatible, and
therefore go unannounced.
Some global information about Lollipop TeX follows below the signature.

What is Lollipop?
The Lollipop format tries to bridge the gap between the fact
that in TeX anything is programmable, and the fact that doing so is
too hard for the people such as typographers,
who know actually what to program. Or even for seasoned programmers.
Lollipop is a macro package that gives the user powerful
tools for programming macros for lists, headings, output routines
and a number of other things. The Lollipop macros take the specifications
for a macro, and then construct that macro.
The status of Lollipop
Lollipop is not finished, but it is already quite powerful.
(It has been used to typeset my book 'TeX by Topic', for instance.)
I suggest that anyone who is interested format the manual
and have a look at the examples in it. They document
the current power of Lollipop (really: all examples,
including of output routines, are formatted on the fly).
Since Lollipop is still under development I will be very
accessible for questions, bug reports and suggestions.
Email preferred: eijkhout@cs.utk.edu.
(And I will be flattered if you actually use Lollipop,
but beware that changes may occur in future versions.)
Lollipop can be ftp'ed from the directory /pub/eijkhout/tex
on cs.utk.edu (log in as 'anonymous') where it is stored
as 'lollipop.tar.Z'. Uncompress and 'tar -fx' it.
The tar file unpacks itself to a subdirectory ./Lollipop-xyz
where 'xyz' is the current version.
Like a lot of TeXware, Lollipop is free. Make and give away
all the copies that you want. Just don't ask money for it,

Subject: New version of REVTeX available
This post is to the tex-archive group and isn't really for public
consumption at the present time. I have been working with Chris Hamlin at
the American Physical Society over the past month or so on getting the new
version (3.0) of REVTeX on-line. We have finally gotten all of the files
stable and the new version is ready for use.
Chris will make the "formal" public announcement on INFO-TeX in the near
future. Why this has been a somewhat larger task (w.r.t. file stability,
announcement, various politics, etc.) is that the REVTeX 3.0 package
remains the official package for the APS (as before) but it is now the
formally recognized package for the American Institute of Physics and the
Optical Society of America, as well. Essentially, it has been a
cooperative effort on the part of 4 file editors in 3 different
associations, covering some 27 official periodicals. For obvious reasons,
everyone needs to be consulted prior to formalizing this release (which
Chris is in the process of).
I am attaching the revised description file from FILESERV/Niord so that
you, as archivists, have advance warning of this change. The files may be
archived and distributed immediately, but please wait for the politically
correct public announcement prior to wide dissemination that you have them
available.
--George
***************************************************************************
REVTEX
------
The REVTEX package includes the 26 files necessary for version 3.0
(November 11, 1992) of REVTeX. REVTeX is the macro package that runs on
top of LaTeX, which is sponsored by the American Physical Society, the
American Institute of Physics, and the Optical Society of America. REVTeX
produces compuscripts, which are used by authors for submission and
by these organizations for production in their author-prepared program.
For the APS, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its:
Physical Review A
Physical Review B
Physical Review C
Physical Review D
Physical Review E
Physical Review Letters
For the AIP, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its:
American Journal of Physics
Chaos
Computers in Physics
Journal of Applied Physics
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The Journal of Chemical Physics
Journal of Mathematical Physics
Journal of Rheology
Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A
Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B
Medical Physics
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Physics of Fluids A
Physics of Fluids B
Powder Diffraction
Review of Scientific Instruments
The AIP's Astronomical Journal and Applied Physics Letters are not part
of this compuscript program at the present time. Applied Physics Letters
may be added to the compuscript program in the future; its weekly nature
will make it more challenging.
For the OSA, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its:
Journal of the Optical Society of America A
Journal of the Optical Society of America B
Applied Optics
Optics Letters
All needed instructions for use are contained in the REVTEX.README file and
in the accompanying documentation.
You may retrieve the entire package of 26 files distributed in 32 parts by
including the command:
SENDME REVTEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
A complete distribution of this version of REVTEX requires all 26 files in
this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should
only need one of these files, say REVTEX.README, use the command:
SENDME REVTEX.README
in your MAIL message to FILESERV.
For anonymous ftp retrieval, the individual files are available in the
directory [FILESERV.REVTEX] on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8). Also
available in this directory is a ZIP archive (REVTEX-3_0.ZIP) which has the
complete distribution in it.

Subject: bibclean 2.05 released
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.722627224.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
bibclean 2.05 has today been released into the public domain use. This
new version replaces the previous versions 1.05 and 1.06 which will
remain available for some time.
You can use Internet anonymous ftp to ftp.math.utah.edu and fetch in
binary mode any of these files in pub/tex/bib:
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 689588 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.tar.z
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 512514 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 708075 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zoo
For each of these, there are corresponding files with suffix -lst that
show the contents:
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5501 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.tar-lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5840 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zip-lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 4884 Nov 24 10:25 bibclean-2.05.zoo-lst
If you lack anonymous ftp capability, then send an e-mail message with
the text "send bibclean-2.05.zip from tex/bib" to tuglib@math.utah.edu
(change the file name to whichever format you prefer); the file will be
returned in a large number of smaller uuencoded pieces.
The previous distributions of bibclean were about 10% of the size of the
2.05 version, so here is why.
Bibclean 2.05 is a considerable extension of the previous 1.x versions.
The code has grown from a total of 3814 lines in bibclean 1.05 to 13372
lines in 2.05. Much of this growth is in additional files that are
provided for enhanced portability. bibclean.c itself grew from 1395
lines to 5632 lines, and that file incorporates an extensive revision
history log.
Besides prettyprinting of BibTeX bibliography files, the new version now
provides conversion of Scribe bibliography files to BibTeX form, and
syntax checking of citation tags and string values. These enhancements
have proved valuable, in that new errors have been uncovered in almost
every bibliography that has been processed with bibclean 2.05. For
testing the Scribe conversion, I've used a 36K-line 1800+ entry
collection from the Computer Science Department at the University of
Arizona.
The syntax checking is based on patterns provided in initialization
files, allowing extensions and modifications to be made WITHOUT changing
the source code of bibclean. System-wide, project-wide, directory-wide,
and file-specific customizations are supported.
Because bibclean has many new run-time options, besides UNIX manual
pages (with PostScript, text, and help forms thereof for other systems),
the executable program incorporates an interactive help facility that
allows the help display to be scrolled up and down. The help text
displayed this way is extracted automatically from the manual pages,
ensuring that it remains up-to-date when the documentation is modified
in the future.
The new distribution incorporates extensive tests of the correctness of
bibclean. Testing has been carried out on at least these systems,
representing 30 C and C++ compilers and three major operating systems,
including the 6 most popular workstation architectures:
=============================================================================
System O/S Compiler(s)
=============================================================================
DEC VAX VMS 5.4 cc
DECstation ULTRIX 4.2 cc, lcc, gcc, g++
HP 370 4.3 BSD cc, CC
HP 720 HP-UX c89
HP 850 HP-UX c89
IBM 3090 AIX cc, CC
IBM PC DOS 4.0 and 5.0 tcc (2.0, 3.0), tcc++

Stardent 1520 OS 2.2 cc
Sun 4 SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 acc, cc, gcc, g++, CC
=============================================================================
The conversion to C++ code goes only as far as the provision of Standard
C function headers which are based on the C++ syntax. Old-style (K&R)
function headers are also provided; both styles are under C preprocessor
control. There is no use whatever of C++ classes, I/O, or comment
syntax. Testing under C++ has been so valuable in weeding out errors at
compile time that I now do all my C software development using C++
compilers (yes, my DVI 3.0 project supports both C and C++, and no, it
is not yet ready for release).
For user convenience, the bibclean distribution contains executables in
binary and uuencoded form for IBM PC DOS and VAX VMS, since C compilers
are extra cost options on those systems.
The top-level README file contains detailed installation instructions;
here is a short summary:
* For the UNIX systems above, all that is required is to select an
appropriate definition of CC in the Makefile, set installation
directory locations, then type "make all", "make test", and
"make install".
* For VAX VMS, DCL command files are provided for building and
testing.
* For IBM PC DOS, there are batch command files and makefiles.
* For both VAX VMS and IBM PC DOC, minor customization of the
command files and makefiles is needed to set appropriate
directory paths the local installation.
Enjoy the new bibclean, and as always, please report problems, errors,
and comments back to the author.

SENDME STY.2UP
SENDME STY.MULTIDO
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The ``*'' following STY.FANCYBOX is necessary as it is a 2 part
distribution for mail purposes. Both 2UP and MULTIDO are TeX macros which
are compatible with most variants of TeX, as well as LaTeX as style files.
The files are documented with LaTeX documentation files following \endinput
on each file.
These files may also be retrieved via anonymous ftp from Niord.SHSU.edu

Subject: DVGT on FILESERV/Niord
Geoffrey Tobin kindly worked through some network difficulties to get me
his DVGT package. Notably, this port of DVItoVDU/dvi2vdu/dv/... is
make-able under AIX, as well as other platforms. As one would expect, DVGT
has the usual bells and whistles associated with version 3.0. Attached is
the description listing from FILESERV/Niord.
Regards and my thanks to Geoffrey on this, George
***************************************************************************
DVGT
----
The DVGT package includes a UUENCODEd ZIP file containing Geoffrey Tobin's
<ecsgrt@luxor.latrobe.edu.au> modifications to Ian Dall's 3.0 C version of
dv (available at anonymous@augean.ua.oz.au:/pub/misc/dv.tar.Z), which is a
C port of the original Modula-2 version of DVItoVDU by Andrew Trevorrow.
This version is Tobin's modification 4 (1 December 1992) of DVItoVDU
version 3.0. As with all programs related to Trevorrow's original effort,
this driver allows the visual display of DVI files using PK fonts on a
monitor or terminal.
Two Makefiles are provided:
Makefile.aix for IBM machines (such as the Risc/6000) running AIX.
Makefile.sun for Suns and Sparcs running Sun/OS, with gcc.
These can serve as templates for other Makefiles. (The AIX one originated
>From the Sun Makefile.)
In developing this release, Tobin was in contact with Trevorrow, as well as
Masahiro Kitagawa <kitagawa@will.ntt.jp>, the author of the Japanese
version 1.1J. Users of terminals that emulate tek4010 can use the vis550
of one of the other tek4010 emulating terminal drivers listed in the
README. An explicit "tek4010" option is not provided, as this would be
misleading and so as to make provisions for a real tek4010 driver in a
(hypothetical) later release. MS-Kermit 3.xx has a tek4010 emulator which
is compatible with the tek4010 emulation modes of DVGT drivers, such as
vis550.
This version includes the useful ZI/ZO features of 3.0. Zoom is now
adjustable. For example, one can say "ZI 1.2" to zoom in by a factor of
1.2. Subsequent uses of ZI and ZO with no explicit factor will continue
to zoom 1.2 fold. DVGT supports many other features of 3.0, such as wisely
ignoring \special's.
To retrieve the set of 6 UUENCODEd files, include:
SENDME DVGT
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The ZIP file upon which this distribution is based in available for
anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in
[FILESERV.DVGT] as DVGT-3_4.ZIP.

Geoffrey Tobin also forwarded me a more comprehensive fileset for Thomas
Leathrum's MFpic 0.2. It includes a few fixes and extra files which have

***************************************************************************
MFPIC
-----
The MFPIC package includes version 0.2 (8 September 1992, updated as of 26
November 1992) of Thomas Leathrum's <leathrum@griggs.dartmouth.edu> set of
TeX and Metafont macros that essentially draw pictures in a TeX document
using Metafont. Additional related files subsequently posted to the
network, including support for 4DOS. Also, there's a valuable patch to the
new "mfpic.tex", which takes care of the problem that the graphics TFM file
is initially absent, and therefore cannot be read.
In MFpic, each picture comes out as a single Metafont character; the TeX
macros actually write the Metafont file for you, so there's no need to
learn Metafont (although you do have to be able to run Metafont); and the
TeX macros are things like \axes, \arrow, \circle, \curve, etc., similar in
nature (but nowhere near the scope) of PiC-TeX. The advantages of this
technique: significantly faster than PiC-TeX (especially on curves),
totally printer-independent (unlike \special's).

Thanks for pointing this out! PSBOX is indeed a neat macro set (which
mysteriously doesn't seem to appear on the "normal" TeX archive machines);
hence, I am including the description file for FILESERV and Niord in hopes
that this will propogate a little better.

its been on ftp.tex.ac.uk since it came out, natch :-}
by the way, an American CD company are taking a snapshot of
ftp.tex.ac.uk this week for a January release of their disk. sadly, it
will be compressed tar archives (i tried hard to get them to use ZIP
instead), which is irritating for DOS and Mac users. but it will be a
useful reference point for people who want more or less everything
thats currently available. in the next couple of days I will check
over stuff released in the last month and check ftp.tex.ac.uk is OK.
the CD will available for resale by TUG if they are interested.

Subject: Tapes of ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.uni-stuttgart.de??
I've been watching the file system developments in the archives on
ftp.tex.ac.uk, as well as how they are being converted on
ftp.uni-stuttgart.de over the past few months. From what I've seen, the
design pretty well follows the original discussions here. To date, no one
involved (Sebastian, primarily you) has complained on the design. To me it
looks logical and well laid out (but it appears I had a lot to say on it
beforehand, so it ought to be right). 8-)
At any rate, late last Friday, HP came in and installed "my" new drive on
pip. Believe it or not, it is truly mine for anything I want to do with it
(all 1.2 gig). I didn;t honestly expect to get the whole enchilada, but
I'm not going to complain. It doesn't seem right to use the mirror
software to move everything across the pond. Is it safe to assume that the
major migration to the new archive directory design is in place? If so,
how might I go about getting a tape from either of the ftp... machines?
Alternately, is the mirror the best way to do this for such an enormous
exchange?
More extended (and why this is a public post): Does anyone see any
problems with the existing new structure before we have three sites under
it? What else needs to be thought out?
As soon as I can get everything in place, pip will be our major archive
machine and we plan on NFS mounting the directories on it for Niord's ftp
access directories.
Regards, George

No real problems. It might turn out that we need minor modifications
in the future...experience will show. One thing that needs to be set
up as soon as possible is a scheme for automatic update between the
three major archives. This means: (1) for each piece of software,
identify the archive that will be the master; (2) setup suitable
mirrors for automatic update of the other two archives.

there is a problem here. say someone allocates dvips to the UK TeX
Archive to be master of (apart from Rokicki hisself). then a posting
goes on the net which does something clever with dvips. does this
belong with dvips (inheritance?) does it belong to whoever sees it
first? in the former case, what if the UK misses the announcement, but
George sees it? needs a communication channel. and what if george sees
it, tells the UK, but we are all asleep? he knows its there, people
want it, but we dont respond? do we give each of us a login on all
archives?

curiously enough, i have just packaged up all of ftp.tex.ac.uk for
copying onto CD. so in pub/CD on ftp.tex.ac.uk you will find some top
level directories containing massive .tar.Z files. about 240Mb in all.
this is taking up quite a lot of space on the machine, but i'll need
to leave it there for a week anyway, so why not do some pulling from
that? otherwise we'd be into exabyte tapes and the problems of reading
them and so on. if i were you, i'd just abuse the internet...

most people are pretty lethargic about commenting. I have no feedback
at all on ftp.tex.ac.uk. i suspect that they care much more
consistency between archives than anything else. it really will be
wonderful if/when we can claim shsu, stuttgart and aston are all
exactly the same.
when we are all the same, we can decide how to play the updating...

This is now something upon us (well, it's always been there, but now it
will very likely look and feel more official). I more or less agree with
Karl on this, provided an appendage can be added. I would guess that a
"contrib" could easily fit in, provided it wasn't something which caused
new dependencies. For example, Geoffrey Tobin's DVGT, which is dvi*vdu in
another iteration. For this, I talked GT into simply creating a new
package. When it fits into someone's package, such as Karl's web2c, I
guess a"contrib" would work, but would much rather the author have
something to say about it (if for not other reason) since they will
implicitly be involved in some degree of maintenance. I really don't wish
to foist a maintenance job on someone sight unseen!
Still have to think a little more on this personally (and, I hope,
collectively).

This can be handled by having access for the different maintainers, but
some places may be against that for various reasons (any maintainer can
easily have an account on any of our machines -- just let me know; may have
to tweak a few privs here and there, but that can be handled I believe).
What would be better (and this is where I need to go back and see how the
mirror handles this) is for us to have some semblance of an agreement of
what goes where. If we have this, the mirroring software should take care
of it automagically somehow. Whether or not to mirror new directories into
the network is another topic -- possibly we should have a maintainers-only
area named something such as "private" where we can load the new
directories/files and let everyone have some say in where it should be
placed. For example, using DVGT as a guinea pig: I would place
dvgt-3_4.zip in
/tex-archive/private/dviware/dvgt/dvgt-3_4.zip
where I am proposing it be moved into the mirror network sans the
"/private" directory (i.e., into .../dviware/dvgt) and if everyone agreed
it belonged there in lieu of, say, .../dviware/dvitovdu/dvgt, we could
simply promote it via a Unix mv command. In other words, the other sites
would get it in their .../private/... to have a look.
The critical area here is getting synchronized in terms of file dates. Are
we going to (more appropriately, does mirror) make time zone adjustments to
filedates so that a "real" time is used (i.e., in CST, we are GMT -6:00, so
our times are always 6:00 less than at ftp.tex.ac.uk, except in CDT,
when...), use a standard GMT across everyone, or simply copy the time from
the original host machine without any adjustments?
Finally, as Rainer noted earlier, we will ultimately need to get a listing
of non-comprehensive sites (specialized TeX archives, or STAs) and decide
who gets the pleasure of mirroring those files into the comprehensive
mirroring network system. Given that Rainer already appears to have quite
a few sites covered, possibly we can simply cannibilize some from his
listing?
I'm about half through with the transfer from ftp.tex.ac.uk and hope to run
mirror against it within the next few days. Once I get a better feel for
how it gets things in place and how it handles some of my questions above,
I may be better able to give ideas rather than questions.
Regards and thanks to all, George

ASAETR
------
The ASAETR package includes the a UUENCODEd ZIP archive containing the 11
files for version 1.1 (22 December 1992) of James Darrell McCauley's ASAETR
file set. This package includes a set of LaTeX and BibTeX styles, with
documentation and samples, to make your articles look like those in
Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE).
Also included are the metafont source file, precompiled PK (at 300dpi)
font, and TFM file for the font cmcscsl10. This is not official and not
(yet) an accepted way to submit articles to ASAE.
The American Society of Agricultural Engineers editorial staff encourages
authors to submit electronic manuscripts in the following formats:
MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works (preferably Version 2.0), WordPerfect (Version
5.0 or later), and WriteNow. Though LaTeX is not an accepted format to
submit articles to ASAE, it does have utility when predicting page length
and appearance of an article that you submit. Predicting page length is
especially important when submitting "Technical Notes" (which cannot exceed
two pages) and when trying to avoid unnecessary page charges.
You may retrieve the package of of 4 UUENCODEd files by including:
SENDME ASAETR
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For users of anonymous ftp, the ZIP file is available from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.ASAETR] as ASAETR-1_1.ZIP; the
individual files are available in [FILESERV.ASAETR.ASAETR-1_1].

Subject: Lollipop v0.93
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 92 15:30:22 EST
From: eijkhout@cs.utk.edu
Update announcement for Lollipop TeX.
I've just put a .tar.Z file and a (Macintosh) .hqx file
of Lollipop v0.93 on cs.utk.edu in /pub/eijkhout/tex.
This will be the last official update until the end of the
year. This update incorporates most of the comments of
users so far. There may be occasional minor updates before
the end of the year, but these will upward compatible, and
therefore go unannounced.
Some global information about Lollipop TeX follows below the signature.

What is Lollipop?
The Lollipop format tries to bridge the gap between the fact
that in TeX anything is programmable, and the fact that doing so is
too hard for the people such as typographers,
who know actually what to program. Or even for seasoned programmers.
Lollipop is a macro package that gives the user powerful
tools for programming macros for lists, headings, output routines
and a number of other things. The Lollipop macros take the specifications
for a macro, and then construct that macro.
The status of Lollipop
Lollipop is not finished, but it is already quite powerful.
(It has been used to typeset my book 'TeX by Topic', for instance.)
I suggest that anyone who is interested format the manual
and have a look at the examples in it. They document
the current power of Lollipop (really: all examples,
including of output routines, are formatted on the fly).
Since Lollipop is still under development I will be very
accessible for questions, bug reports and suggestions.
Email preferred: eijkhout@cs.utk.edu.
(And I will be flattered if you actually use Lollipop,
but beware that changes may occur in future versions.)
Lollipop can be ftp'ed from the directory /pub/eijkhout/tex
on cs.utk.edu (log in as 'anonymous') where it is stored
as 'lollipop.tar.Z'. Uncompress and 'tar -fx' it.
The tar file unpacks itself to a subdirectory ./Lollipop-xyz
where 'xyz' is the current version.
Like a lot of TeXware, Lollipop is free. Make and give away
all the copies that you want. Just don't ask money for it,
other than reasonable expenses for copying discs or the manual.
Share and enjoy!

Subject: New version of REVTeX available
This post is to the tex-archive group and isn't really for public
consumption at the present time. I have been working with Chris Hamlin at
the American Physical Society over the past month or so on getting the new
version (3.0) of REVTeX on-line. We have finally gotten all of the files
stable and the new version is ready for use.
Chris will make the "formal" public announcement on INFO-TeX in the near
future. Why this has been a somewhat larger task (w.r.t. file stability,
announcement, various politics, etc.) is that the REVTeX 3.0 package
remains the official package for the APS (as before) but it is now the
formally recognized package for the American Institute of Physics and the
Optical Society of America, as well. Essentially, it has been a
cooperative effort on the part of 4 file editors in 3 different
associations, covering some 27 official periodicals. For obvious reasons,
everyone needs to be consulted prior to formalizing this release (which
Chris is in the process of).
I am attaching the revised description file from FILESERV/Niord so that
you, as archivists, have advance warning of this change. The files may be
archived and distributed immediately, but please wait for the politically
correct public announcement prior to wide dissemination that you have them
available.

REVTEX
------
The REVTEX package includes the 26 files necessary for version 3.0
(November 11, 1992) of REVTeX. REVTeX is the macro package that runs on
top of LaTeX, which is sponsored by the American Physical Society, the
American Institute of Physics, and the Optical Society of America. REVTeX
produces compuscripts, which are used by authors for submission and
by these organizations for production in their author-prepared program.
For the APS, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its:
Physical Review A
Physical Review B
Physical Review C
Physical Review D
Physical Review E
Physical Review Letters
For the AIP, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its:
American Journal of Physics
Chaos
Computers in Physics
Journal of Applied Physics
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The Journal of Chemical Physics
Journal of Mathematical Physics
Journal of Rheology
Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A
Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B
Medical Physics
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Physics of Fluids A
Physics of Fluids B
Powder Diffraction
Review of Scientific Instruments
The AIP's Astronomical Journal and Applied Physics Letters are not part
of this compuscript program at the present time. Applied Physics Letters
may be added to the compuscript program in the future; its weekly nature
will make it more challenging.
For the OSA, the compuscript program is open to all authors in its:
Journal of the Optical Society of America A
Journal of the Optical Society of America B
Applied Optics
Optics Letters
All needed instructions for use are contained in the REVTEX.README file and
in the accompanying documentation.
You may retrieve the entire package of 26 files distributed in 32 parts by
including the command:
SENDME REVTEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
A complete distribution of this version of REVTEX requires all 26 files in
this package, so this command is suggested. If, for some reason, you should
only need one of these files, say REVTEX.README, use the command:
SENDME REVTEX.README
in your MAIL message to FILESERV.
For anonymous ftp retrieval, the individual files are available in the
directory [FILESERV.REVTEX] on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8). Also
available in this directory is a ZIP archive (REVTEX-3_0.ZIP) which has the
complete distribution in it.

Subject: bibclean 2.05 released
Message-Id: <CMM.0.90.2.722627224.beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
bibclean 2.05 has today been released into the public domain use. This
new version replaces the previous versions 1.05 and 1.06 which will
remain available for some time.
You can use Internet anonymous ftp to ftp.math.utah.edu and fetch in
binary mode any of these files in pub/tex/bib:
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 689588 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.tar.z
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 512514 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 708075 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zoo
For each of these, there are corresponding files with suffix -lst that
show the contents:
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5501 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.tar-lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 5840 Nov 24 10:24 bibclean-2.05.zip-lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 beebe staff 4884 Nov 24 10:25 bibclean-2.05.zoo-lst
If you lack anonymous ftp capability, then send an e-mail message with
the text "send bibclean-2.05.zip from tex/bib" to tuglib@math.utah.edu
(change the file name to whichever format you prefer); the file will be
returned in a large number of smaller uuencoded pieces.
The previous distributions of bibclean were about 10% of the size of the
2.05 version, so here is why.
Bibclean 2.05 is a considerable extension of the previous 1.x versions.
The code has grown from a total of 3814 lines in bibclean 1.05 to 13372
lines in 2.05. Much of this growth is in additional files that are
provided for enhanced portability. bibclean.c itself grew from 1395
lines to 5632 lines, and that file incorporates an extensive revision
history log.
Besides prettyprinting of BibTeX bibliography files, the new version now
provides conversion of Scribe bibliography files to BibTeX form, and
syntax checking of citation tags and string values. These enhancements
have proved valuable, in that new errors have been uncovered in almost
every bibliography that has been processed with bibclean 2.05. For
testing the Scribe conversion, I've used a 36K-line 1800+ entry
collection from the Computer Science Department at the University of
Arizona.
The syntax checking is based on patterns provided in initialization
files, allowing extensions and modifications to be made WITHOUT changing
the source code of bibclean. System-wide, project-wide, directory-wide,
and file-specific customizations are supported.
Because bibclean has many new run-time options, besides UNIX manual
pages (with PostScript, text, and help forms thereof for other systems),
the executable program incorporates an interactive help facility that
allows the help display to be scrolled up and down. The help text
displayed this way is extracted automatically from the manual pages,
ensuring that it remains up-to-date when the documentation is modified
in the future.
The new distribution incorporates extensive tests of the correctness of
bibclean. Testing has been carried out on at least these systems,
representing 30 C and C++ compilers and three major operating systems,
including the 6 most popular workstation architectures:
=============================================================================
System O/S Compiler(s)
=============================================================================
DEC VAX VMS 5.4 cc
DECstation ULTRIX 4.2 cc, lcc, gcc, g++
HP 370 4.3 BSD cc, CC
HP 720 HP-UX c89
HP 850 HP-UX c89
IBM 3090 AIX cc, CC
IBM PC DOS 4.0 and 5.0 tcc (2.0, 3.0), tcc++
(3.0), cl (5.1, 6.0)
IBM PS/2 AIX cc, CC
IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2 c89
MIPS 6280 RISCos 4.52 and 5.2 cc
NeXT Mach 3.0 gcc
Silicon Graphics IRIX 4.0 cc, lcc, CC
Stardent 1520 OS 2.2 cc
Sun 4 SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 acc, cc, gcc, g++, CC
=============================================================================
The conversion to C++ code goes only as far as the provision of Standard
C function headers which are based on the C++ syntax. Old-style (K&R)
function headers are also provided; both styles are under C preprocessor
control. There is no use whatever of C++ classes, I/O, or comment
syntax. Testing under C++ has been so valuable in weeding out errors at
compile time that I now do all my C software development using C++
compilers (yes, my DVI 3.0 project supports both C and C++, and no, it
is not yet ready for release).
For user convenience, the bibclean distribution contains executables in
binary and uuencoded form for IBM PC DOS and VAX VMS, since C compilers
are extra cost options on those systems.
The top-level README file contains detailed installation instructions;
here is a short summary:
* For the UNIX systems above, all that is required is to select an
appropriate definition of CC in the Makefile, set installation
directory locations, then type "make all", "make test", and
"make install".
* For VAX VMS, DCL command files are provided for building and
testing.
* For IBM PC DOS, there are batch command files and makefiles.
* For both VAX VMS and IBM PC DOC, minor customization of the
command files and makefiles is needed to set appropriate
directory paths the local installation.
Enjoy the new bibclean, and as always, please report problems, errors,
and comments back to the author.

Subject: DVGT on FILESERV/Niord
Geoffrey Tobin kindly worked through some network difficulties to get me
his DVGT package. Notably, this port of DVItoVDU/dvi2vdu/dv/... is
make-able under AIX, as well as other platforms. As one would expect, DVGT
has the usual bells and whistles associated with version 3.0. Attached is
the description listing from FILESERV/Niord.
Regards and my thanks to Geoffrey on this, George
***************************************************************************
DVGT
----
The DVGT package includes a UUENCODEd ZIP file containing Geoffrey Tobin's
<ecsgrt@luxor.latrobe.edu.au> modifications to Ian Dall's 3.0 C version of
dv (available at anonymous@augean.ua.oz.au:/pub/misc/dv.tar.Z), which is a
C port of the original Modula-2 version of DVItoVDU by Andrew Trevorrow.
This version is Tobin's modification 4 (1 December 1992) of DVItoVDU
version 3.0. As with all programs related to Trevorrow's original effort,
this driver allows the visual display of DVI files using PK fonts on a
monitor or terminal.
Two Makefiles are provided:
Makefile.aix for IBM machines (such as the Risc/6000) running AIX.
Makefile.sun for Suns and Sparcs running Sun/OS, with gcc.
These can serve as templates for other Makefiles. (The AIX one originated
>From the Sun Makefile.)
In developing this release, Tobin was in contact with Trevorrow, as well as
Masahiro Kitagawa <kitagawa@will.ntt.jp>, the author of the Japanese
version 1.1J. Users of terminals that emulate tek4010 can use the vis550
of one of the other tek4010 emulating terminal drivers listed in the
README. An explicit "tek4010" option is not provided, as this would be
misleading and so as to make provisions for a real tek4010 driver in a
(hypothetical) later release. MS-Kermit 3.xx has a tek4010 emulator which
is compatible with the tek4010 emulation modes of DVGT drivers, such as
vis550.
This version includes the useful ZI/ZO features of 3.0. Zoom is now
adjustable. For example, one can say "ZI 1.2" to zoom in by a factor of
1.2. Subsequent uses of ZI and ZO with no explicit factor will continue
to zoom 1.2 fold. DVGT supports many other features of 3.0, such as wisely
ignoring \special's.
To retrieve the set of 6 UUENCODEd files, include:
SENDME DVGT
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The ZIP file upon which this distribution is based in available for
anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in
[FILESERV.DVGT] as DVGT-3_4.ZIP.

***************************************************************************
MFPIC
-----
The MFPIC package includes version 0.2 (8 September 1992, updated as of 26
November 1992) of Thomas Leathrum's <leathrum@griggs.dartmouth.edu> set of
TeX and Metafont macros that essentially draw pictures in a TeX document
using Metafont. Additional related files subsequently posted to the
network, including support for 4DOS. Also, there's a valuable patch to the
new "mfpic.tex", which takes care of the problem that the graphics TFM file
is initially absent, and therefore cannot be read.
In MFpic, each picture comes out as a single Metafont character; the TeX
macros actually write the Metafont file for you, so there's no need to
learn Metafont (although you do have to be able to run Metafont); and the
TeX macros are things like \axes, \arrow, \circle, \curve, etc., similar in
nature (but nowhere near the scope) of PiC-TeX. The advantages of this
technique: significantly faster than PiC-TeX (especially on curves),
totally printer-independent (unlike \special's).

Thanks for pointing this out! PSBOX is indeed a neat macro set (which
mysteriously doesn't seem to appear on the "normal" TeX archive machines);
hence, I am including the description file for FILESERV and Niord in hopes
that this will propogate a little better.

PSBOX
-----
The PSBOX package includes a UUENCODEd ZIP file of Jean Orloff's psbox
(version 1.34, 18 November 1992). Macros to allow (encapsulated)
PostScript figures in all versions of TeX on all platforms using a
PostScript printer, and to facilitate transfers of files needed to
reproduce a TeX document by grouping them all together into a single,
TeX'able file.
To retrieve the set of 2 UUENCODEd files, include:
SENDME PSBOX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
The file PSBOX-1_34.ZIP, upon which this distribution is based, is
available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in
[FILESERV.PSBOX].

its been on ftp.tex.ac.uk since it came out, natch :-}
by the way, an American CD company are taking a snapshot of
ftp.tex.ac.uk this week for a January release of their disk. sadly, it
will be compressed tar archives (i tried hard to get them to use ZIP
instead), which is irritating for DOS and Mac users. but it will be a
useful reference point for people who want more or less everything
thats currently available. in the next couple of days I will check
over stuff released in the last month and check ftp.tex.ac.uk is OK.
the CD will available for resale by TUG if they are interested.

I have placed the files on Niord for your access. Attached for reference
is the description file.

===========================================================================
ASAETR
------
The ASAETR package includes the a UUENCODEd ZIP archive containing the 11
files for version 1.1 (22 December 1992) of James Darrell McCauley's ASAETR
file set. This package includes a set of LaTeX and BibTeX styles, with
documentation and samples, to make your articles look like those in
Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE).
Also included are the metafont source file, precompiled PK (at 300dpi)
font, and TFM file for the font cmcscsl10. This is not official and not
(yet) an accepted way to submit articles to ASAE.
The American Society of Agricultural Engineers editorial staff encourages
authors to submit electronic manuscripts in the following formats:
MacWrite, MS-Word, MS-Works (preferably Version 2.0), WordPerfect (Version
5.0 or later), and WriteNow. Though LaTeX is not an accepted format to
submit articles to ASAE, it does have utility when predicting page length
and appearance of an article that you submit. Predicting page length is
especially important when submitting "Technical Notes" (which cannot exceed
two pages) and when trying to avoid unnecessary page charges.
You may retrieve the package of of 4 UUENCODEd files by including:
SENDME ASAETR
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
For users of anonymous ftp, the ZIP file is available from Niord.SHSU.edu
(192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.ASAETR] as ASAETR-1_1.ZIP; the
individual files are available in [FILESERV.ASAETR.ASAETR-1_1].
