--------------------
I am pleased to announce the release of new versions of the three major
AMS-supported TeX products. AMS-TeX 2.1, AMSFonts 2.1, and AMS-LaTeX
1.1 have all been posted to our TeX archive on the Internet node
e-MATH.ams.com (130.44.1.100), and are now available for immediate
retrieval by anonymous FTP. Also available is information (both
guidelines and documentstyle files) for authors who may wish to submit
something to the AMS in electronic form for publication.
This is the first major upgrade to the files on the AMS's e-MATH archive
since its inception over a year ago. Announcements of future incremental
or major upgrades to any of these products will be posted to the normal
TeX discussion lists.
The files in this release have also been changed to incorporate a file
identification block in the form of a BibTeX-like entry at the start
of each TeX or Metafont file. This was a suggestion Nelson Beebe
posted to the tex-archive list about a year ago. The AMS staff worked
with Nelson over the past several months and settled on the scheme
found in these files. We do not necessarily feel that the structure
we've chosen is final, and would like to hear comments and/or
suggestions for improvements.
As in the past, we are suggesting that those of you responsible for
maintaining a TeX archive copy the entire /ams tree from e-MATH and
set up a corresponding /ams tree on your own archive. Some of the
READ.ME files refer to files in other directories using the notation
"/ams/...". (We realize that you may not want to copy all of the
resolutions of the AMSFonts PK files to your area because of space
considerations.)
We wish for these files to replace all previous releases of AMS-TeX,
AMS-LaTeX, and AMSFonts for as many users as possible. We are especially
concerned about the dissemination of AMSFonts 2.1, but strongly encourage
users to upgrade AMS-TeX and AMS-LaTeX as well. Details follow.
AMSFonts 2.1 (/ams/amsfonts/... and /ams/tfm-files):
====================================================
Sometime after AMSFonts 2.0 was released, it was brought to our
attention that there was a bug in the Metafont code for the AMS extra
symbol fonts (MSAM and MSBM) that caused different TFM files to be
produced when these fonts were run at different resolutions. This has
been fixed in 2.1. Another significant enhancement in the MSBM font
is much improved character rendering for the Blackboard Bold
characters at low resolutions. (Thanks to Stefan Lindner for the
Metafont help with the Blackboard Bold characters.)
Additionally, through several communications with Knuth we are pleased
to release improved versions of the Euler and extra CM fonts. All of
the Euler bold fonts have been made more bold and extended. In
previous versions of Euler, it was very difficult to distinguish the
bold from the non-bold versions of these fonts. Knuth also reviewed
the parameter listings for the additional point sizes of the CM fonts
that we created and we have incorporated his suggestions into this
release.
Another change with AMSFonts 2.1 is that we are now distributing more
resolutions of PK files. Previously, e-MATH contained only 118 and
300 dpi fonts. We have now posted 118, 180, 240, 300, and 400 dpi
fonts to the /ams/amsfonts/pk-files/... area of e-MATH. As before,
Metafont sources for all of the AMSFonts are also available.
AMS-TeX 2.1 (/ams/amstex):
==========================
This is mainly a bug-fix version, with some minor enhancements. A new
file, amsppt1.tex, has been added to provide backward compatibility with
documents written under amsppt.sty version 1 but run with AMS-TeX 2.0
or later.
AMS-LaTeX 1.1 (/ams/amslatex):
==============================
Again, this is mainly a bug-fix version with some enhancements. In an
effort to keep this area current we are now distributing the complete
Mittelbach/Schoepf font selection scheme in the /ams/amslatex/fontsel
area. When new versions of these files become available, we will
attempt to quickly verify their compatibility with AMS-LaTeX and post
them to e-MATH.
Please direct any problems or questions concerning the TeX archive on

I suppose I should write this in German, but my writing is not so fluent.
However you can answer in German if you like.
I obtained the original MTEX documentation from rusvm1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de.
However, I cannot TeX it bcause there is a file german.tex missing. I can't
find it anywhere. German.sty doesn't seem appropriate. Does anybody know
where to find this file?
Secondly, there is a description of the preprocessor program in the doc.
But the sources are not included. Where can these be obtained.
Vielen Dank.

Hello all,
some time ago we here at Bonn University, Inst. of applied Math., made the
documentation for MusicTeX available, together with the macros. Piet van
Oostrum had some questions about this:
1) the file german.tex should be the file german.sty. On our machine this is
a symbolic link, so we didn't notice the mistake. However, mdoc is
TeXed smoothly with german.tex=german.sty(version 2.3d)
2) The source code for the preprocessor is contained in the file mdoctrns.tex
(in WEAVEd form, however).
The WEB-File itself will not be made available as this program is
only a rough outline of what should be done, i.e. the pascal program would
not be as functional as you might expect when reading the documentation.
At last, my apologies for posting an article in a foreign language to tex-D-l,
but it is very hot around here today and I can't convince myself to write
this twice, in English and in German.

Sebastian Rahtz from Southampton was so kind to provide us with some
extra goodies for the DANTE server:
A new set of files for using PostScript fonts with the New Font Selection
Scheme (soft/tex/latex-style/supported/nfss-soton).
A set of TeX font metrics for the Lucida Math Fonts. (soft/tex/fonts/lucida).
The latter is "of no use to you unless
a) you have the fonts themselves in PostScript form ready to download; and
b) you have a driver which understands virtual fonts (such as dvips)"

Hi,
A couple of minutes ago I've put a new version of the babel
system of style files on LISTSERV@HEARN. The differences with
the previous release are:
- cured behaviour with respect to groups
- various small fixes
- many more language specific files. Available now are
files for the following languages:
- Esperanto,
- Dutch, English, German,
- French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish (with Catalan),
- Danish, Norwegian, Swedish,
- Finnish, Hungarian,
- Croatian, Czech, Romanian, Slovene,
- Russian (beware, the transliteration is not yet
completely fixed as far as I'm concerned).

Approaching SGML from TeX
Reinhard Wonneberger
July 5, 1991
Abstract
The present memorandum intends to encourage discussion on a
pragmatic TeX approach to SGML.
The present edition is a first draft.
Comments are welcome.
Topic 1 (Active Approach) In this memorandum, I suggest an
active approach to SGML to the TeX Implementors Community, i.e.
those colleages who actively participate in TeX implementation,
adaptation, and development.
Topic 2 (Concern) It is my concern that usage of TeX be
rooted in the general document processing area, by combining it
with an universally accepted standard for source markup.
Topic 3 (TeX-based Implementation) Rather than using the official
approach of using a parser, or first concern should be to implement
a TeX format which is capable to interprete one of the general SGML
DTDs.
Topic 4 (Backing) This suggestion is based on the assumtion that
TeX might be a suited implementation language. It would be one
of the objectives of a fist implementation effort to find out
how far this assumpion holds.
Topic 5 (Benefits) The following benefits are anticipated:
1. Elimination of unneccessary parsing software if not
required.
2. Elimination of unneccessary parse processing if not required.
3. Inheritance of TeX portability for SGML documents.
4. Avoiding a split of user worlds between SGML and TeX.
Topic 6 (Possible Steps) The project step ahead as follows:
1. Implement interpretation of general DTD.
2. Implement document structure validation.
3. Implement definition syntax of SGMl.
Topic 7 (LaTeX) If the first step could be completed
successfully, the SGML general DTD might be offered either as
the future LaTeX user interface or as an additional one.

As I'm quite new to the TeX-system, maybe this is a very old question:
Is there anything like texcad, texdraw or those programs for use
on a sun (sparc)?
If there is: Where can I get it from?

The question: "Is there anything like TEXCAD, TEXDRAW for Suns?"
The answer: Yes, indeed, it is called FIG (Facility for Interactive Gene-
ration if figures) an d runs under Sunview (fig) or X11 (xfig).
The source code is available via ftp on nearly any better unix-server,
e.g. Passau (forwiss.uni-passau.de) or Stuttgart
(rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de).
A short note about the features of the three most popular TeX-drawing
aids (= this means, the three I know :-) )

I am willing to test the TeXDraw program (PC version) as soon as it is
available... I was looking for such a program for a long time...
(btw. I am also willing to buy it if it is worth its price...)

A few minutes ago I tested fig. The version I have is 1.4.
Let me be wrong, but:
It seems to me as if I cannot get fig output into a (La)TeX-document
_without_ using postscript (which is too slow on our printer).
Btw: Jens, could you perhaps mail me the sources for the `special' parts
of the dvi drivers, so that I can put them onto the Sun.

Hi, you have to use 'fig2dev'. It's the program that does all the
necessary translations. It's included in the so called transfig-
package (also available via ftp).
Sorry, I didn't catch the meaning of the '\special'-part of your
message. Could you please rephrase it?

How do they compare with Xfig?

TeXdraw (for Atari ST or better: TT) and (as I've heard) TeXCAD (for
PCs) are object oriented screen graphic tools which are able to produce
LaTeX (PicTeX, EPiC) compatible output that you can simply include into
your documents.
A little bit of critic on TeXdraw:
On a normal ST, TeXdraw is running fast as a _@_;
JENS, DO STH ABOUT THIS!!! On a TT with a TTM 195 it's really worth it's
price. Oh, I forgot: It's freeware ;-).

You have to increase the rating, as TeXcad supports beziers
and can use \special commands (interfaced by a macro) for
drawing lines of arbitrary slopes.

Hi, did I miss there something? Where are beziers? Maybe you use a more
recent version (mine is numbering 2.7 and I did just check the manual:
not even the faintest trace of beziers...).
But honestly, the rating isn't that important: personally I am very
fond of TeXcad for historical reasons: it was the very first program
of its kind I encountered (I was unaware of fig then).
OK, if I have you just reading this: do you plan to implement more
\specials or even implement tpic? I would be glad to here about your
plans.

I use xfig (on an IBM RS/6000), which is probably very close to fig. It can
either output PostScript (via the Print menu) or the fig format. The latter must
then be translated by transfig (actually, fig2dev) in order to get LaTeX
source, which can be used with epic, eepic,... and other macro packages.

Hi,
The files that compose the babel system have been refreshed
on LISTSERV@HEARN recently. The difference with the previous
refreshment is mainly a number of bug-fixes. Below a list can be
found of all files currently available in the system. Besides
the files mentioned in the list there is also babel.readme
and babel.bug (which lists problems and comments since july 8th).
Babel.tex can be used to print the whole lot if you have the
doc option available.

Main problem seems to be the missing Xext-library.

I don't believe a word of this. Of which Atari TeX are you talking?
There are at least three or four good ones ( and a number of other
ones I don't know how good they are). I've never heard about a problem
like the one you mention that hasn't be fixed within a short time.

Now, with the availability of dc-fonts for european languages
I wish, I had the hyphenation patterns for Polish. Anybody did that?
If not, how one does this? Assuming that I typed in (what a dreading
prospect...) a Polish dictionary with hyphenation marked as, let say,
dzie-le-nie, dzie-le-nia, dzie-le-niu, dzie-l\e{}, dzie-li, etc.,
then what I do with it? Is there a program which will extract the
patterns? Is there a doc which says how to do that?
The TeXbook does not say much about it.

Yes they have been done, and if my memory is good (it was written in a TeXline
paper) the author was Hanna Kotodziejska (phone 48-22-237681).
Here are some people you can ask: Marek Ry\'cko (phone 48-22-237681)
Janusz Bie\'n (bitnet jsbien@plearn)
Andrzej Odyniec (phone 48-22-237681)
Hope this is of any assistance to you,

Michael & Rainer,
yes, I know of a problem with the ST and the LJ. But as Rainer said, this
has nothing to do with TeX. (Surprise? No, of course not. Yesterday I spent a
day hacking at WorstPervert, because WP5.0 and WP5.1 are *not very*
compatible. A TeX document of 10 years old (almost, after Sept 82) can still
be TeX-ed with a 100\% expected similar output).
But, the bank with resistors before the printer connector can cause you
trouble. If didn't have to do this myself, but I know people who had to saw it
out before they could drive the LaserJet.
EJee.

This is a partial answer to the questions of Jan Labanowski.
The Polish hyphenation patterns were prepared in the Institute of
Informatics, Warsaw University by Hanna Ko{\l}odziejska in 1977;
they were described and quoted in extenso in the IInfUW report no
165:
@techreport{Kol87,
author = "Hanna Ko{\l}odziejska",
title = "Dzielenie wyraz\'ow polskich w systemie {\TeX}",
institution = "Instytut Informatyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego",
year = 1987,
type = "Sprawozdania",
number = "nr.~165"
}
The patterns are freely available. I send them to everybody
requesting them; the archive managers may include them in their
archives if they wish to.
Polish letters are represented by preceding an appropriate latin
letter by commercial at @: @c means \'c, @l means \l and @z means \'z
while \.z is represented as @r. I you do not have a non-standard font
with Polish letters, you do not need to change anything; of course,
only the breaks preceding the first accented letters will be found,
but you can live with it. If you have special fonts, you have to edit
the file or - better - make the commercial at an active character and
define it appropriately.
The patterns were designed with the old TeX limitations in mind. For
TeX 3.x one has to set
\lefthyphenmin=2 \righthyphenmin=3 % disallow x- or -xx breaks
despite the fact that in principle the correct setting for Polish is
\lefthyphenmin=1 \righthyphenmin=2 % allow x- or -xx breaks
Using the default TeX 3.x setting is disastrous for the present
patterns.
By the way, Ko{\l}odziejska is now with MacroSoft, a Polish software
house. In Resource Directory 1991 (supplement to TUGboat Vol. 12 No.
2 - not 12 as printed on the cover!) TUG Membership List misspelled
her name as Kotodziejska.

I wish to thank everyone who has used the recent versions of the AMS products
and reported bugs or suggestions to the AMS Technical Support group. The
purpose of this mail is to announce an incremental posting of new versions of
several files in our TeX distribution on e-MATH.ams.com, subsequent to our
major upgrades which were posted on July 2. The version numbers for the
products themselves will remain unchanged: AMSFonts and AMS-TeX are version
2.1, and AMS-LaTeX is version 1.1. However, the version numbers embedded into
any updated files (listed below) have been incremented by adding a letter to
the version number. For example, ams/amsfonts/doc/userdoc.tex is at version
2.1a, but ams/amslatex/doc/amslatex.tex is at version 1.1b because it has been
updated twice since version 1.1 of AMS-LaTeX was released.
Changes to AMSFonts 2.1 are in the documentation only. Changes to AMS-LaTeX
1.1 are in the documentation, as well as a some bug fixes. See the
amslatex.bug file for details. Changes to AMS-TeX 2.1 are in the
documentation, as well as a few bug fixes. See the amstex.bug file for
details. Changed to files in the author-info area are bug fixes which caused
TeX errors to occur in previous versions.
Additionally, at the request of several people, we have made tar archives
of the AMSFonts pk files available for retrieval by FTP. These tar archives
are broken down by resolution and can be found in the main /ams area where
the other tar archives live. See the ams/READ.ME file for more details.
Below is a list of all files that have changed on e-MATH since the major
posting on July 2, 1991 (excluding tar archives). We ask that archive
maintainers please consult this list and retrieve these files from e-MATH to
update the ams area on your own archive.
Archive maintainers should feel free to report any problems or questions
concerning this update directly to me at rey@math.ams.com. Bug reports,
general questions, or suggestions should continue to be sent to
tech-support@math.ams.com.
Thank you.

Subject: incremental posting to e-MATH.ams.com
I wish to thank everyone who has used the recent versions of the AMS products
and reported bugs or suggestions to the AMS Technical Support group. The
purpose of this mail is to announce an incremental posting of new versions of
several files in our TeX distribution on e-MATH.ams.com, subsequent to our
major upgrades which were posted on July 2. The version numbers for the
products themselves will remain unchanged: AMSFonts and AMS-TeX are version
2.1, and AMS-LaTeX is version 1.1. However, the version numbers embedded into
any updated files (listed below) have been incremented by adding a letter to
the version number. For example, ams/amsfonts/doc/userdoc.tex is at version
2.1a, but ams/amslatex/doc/amslatex.tex is at version 1.1b because it has been
updated twice since version 1.1 of AMS-LaTeX was released.
Changes to AMSFonts 2.1 are in the documentation only. Changes to AMS-LaTeX
1.1 are in the documentation, as well as a some bug fixes. See the
amslatex.bug file for details. Changes to AMS-TeX 2.1 are in the
documentation, as well as a few bug fixes. See the amstex.bug file for
details. Changed to files in the author-info area are bug fixes which caused
TeX errors to occur in previous versions.
Additionally, at the request of several people, we have made tar archives
of the AMSFonts pk files available for retrieval by FTP. These tar archives
are broken down by resolution and can be found in the main /ams area where
the other tar archives live. See the ams/READ.ME file for more details.
Below is a list of all files that have changed on e-MATH since the major
posting on July 2, 1991 (excluding tar archives). We ask that archive
maintainers please consult this list and retrieve these files from e-MATH to
update the ams area on your own archive.
Archive maintainers should feel free to report any problems or questions
concerning this update directly to me at rey@math.ams.com. Bug reports,
general questions, or suggestions should continue to be sent to
tech-support@math.ams.com.
Thank you.

In last weeks I received from American Mathematical Society
3 boxes containing together 58 copies of the 2nd edition
of "The Joy of TeX" (the handbook of AMS-TeX); however,
I got no accompanying letter. I guess this is a gift to
Polish TeX users, but I got no answer to my inquiries.
As soon as I learn what I am entitled to do with the books,
I will post an appropriate note on TeX-Euro@DHDURZ1.

\introduction
The 1992 \TeX{} Users Group Annual Meeting will be held in Portland,
Oregon.
While \TeX{} itself is a powerful formatting and communication tool,
\TeX{} alone is not the full story. \TeX{} is supported and enhanced
by front-ends, font packages, graphics tools, device drivers, and
post-processors. The human \TeX{} working environment requires
documentation, instruction, and resource materials. And, as with all
programs, \TeX{} needs to be viewed in a wider universe of publishing
and document management tools in order for those who use and develop
\TeX{} to understand its strengths and weaknesses and the directions
in which changes are appropriate.
The 1992 \TeX{} User Group Conference will focus on the \TeX{}
resource environment, on tools used to support \TeX{}, and on
comparative understanding of elements of the \TeX{} world among
themselves as well as with products outside that world.
In addition to the regular paper presentations, there will also be
topical workshops, poster sessions, several extended
courses, a networking lunch, and ``Birds of a Feather'' sessions.
\callforpapers
Contributions are now being sought by the Program Committee for
inclusion in the 1992 Meeting. Submissions for papers, workshops,
and poster sessions may include material on a wide range of topics
related to---but not limited to---the areas suggested below.
Selection will be based on originality, applicability, utility and
interest to the \TeX-using community. As well, a balance of beginner
and advanced levels will be sought.

Subject: Riding the Growth Curve
As most of you are aware, Project Gutenberg has been doubling its output
every year for twenty years since we first produced a small file with an
electronic copy of the Declaration of Independence back in 1971.
This year we are releasing much larger files each month, planning on two
files a month in 1992, four a month in 1993, etc, until we have produced
and released 10,000 titles in our target year of 2001. So far hardware,
software and volunteers have all kept pace with our plans, and we are on
the right place in our growth curve as planned for the thirty year space
between 1971 and 2001.
So far our plans for hardware advances meshing with our needs have
been right on target. What we didn't plan for was the need for so
much administrivia, accounting, legal, etc. Anyone you could send
our way in any of these areas would be greatly appreciated.
Those of you who have watched the development of Project Gutenberg
over the years have been aware that it has basically been paid for
out of pocket and operated in a very unofficial manner, without an
official relationship with the University of Illinois, or even one
with Illinois Benedictine College until a little over a year ago.
This year we have already distribed more etexts, and to more users
than in our entire previous history. Thus you may also be aware I
am not going to be able to continue to keep things running in this
manner for much longer.
Many of our categories are running as smoothly as possible, a true
reflection of the support and planning which has gone into Project
Gutenberg over the two previous decades. Etexts are coming in and
the present time is undoubtedly the last in which I could ever say
I have been directly involved in the creation of half the etext we
have posted. From now on, until we can find someone else who will
shoulder admistrative responsbilities, I will be more adminstrator
than etext producer, a situation I would love to see remedied. In
the current batch of etexts we are sending out this year, I have a
direct role in only half of them, though of course I have to edit,
proofread and send each etext to other editors and proofreaders.
I enjoy the creation and distribution of etext much more than this
admistrative position, in which I fear sinking without much trace,
into the quagmire of legalese and accounting. If anyone adopted a
portion of all of Project Gutenberg into an organization that is a
present doer of all the legal and accounting stuff, then perhaps I
could return to concentrating on the creation and the distribution
of etext, as oppposed to. . . .
Surely there must be a library, college or corporation out there--
one who could put us under their wing, protect us from the heebie-
jeebies, and just let us continue distributing what we hope should
be a total of ten thousand titles to one hundred million users for
a total of one trillion dollars' worth if we value each at $1.
All suggestions are welcome. As some of you are aware the project
is taking all my time and energy these days, and I am invited to a
conference to speak about Project Gutenberg about every six weeks,
which has been fun and worthwhile, and perhaps helped me keep this
small grasp on sanity, but nevertheless is a little exhausting and
of course the email and work piles up when I am gone.
I hope you realize the doubling the output of Project Gutenberg is
a growth curve no individual could ride for more than just another
year or so, without massive support to stay in the saddle; that is
really all I have to do, as support in the creation of etexts, our
hardware and software, and all other areas, is doing quite well.
For those of you who for whom I have not yet made this clear, both
my apologies for not doing so, and also not to worry, as it should
become clear in the next few months before our 21st anniversary on
March 21, 1992.

I just looked through that posting and I have one question:
you printed that text left and right flush and there are always
simple spaces between words (except for after periods where there
is a double space):
HOW MUCH TIME did it take to edit the text so it would
come out like that?
Greetings.

Dear Stefan,
I didn't edit the text myself, so I cannot tell how long it took the author
to prepare it. But I've seen this kind of texts quite often, so I think
there exist some editors which do this automatically.
Yours, J"org Knappen.

I received a 258 lines file talking about theories and logic,
may I know what this has to do with TeX??

Hello everybody!
I'm trying to get MetaFont sources for elf fonts as they were defined
by J.R.R.Tolkien (esp. Feanorian characters and Daeron runes). Does anybody
have them? Have they been created? Should I try to create them myself?

There is a font named Tengwar in ymir.claremont.edu archive,
in anonymous.tex.mf.tengwar directory.
I think it could be what you are searching for.
