Tex for Sun, VMS 5.x, with PostScript driver.  Anyone know of a commercial
source for TeX/LaTeX?  I need to have a "ready to go" installation.  Otherwise
I'll have the pain of giving birth to a source code build on VMS, gulp.

Many thanks ...

Hi TeXperts,

a friend of mine would like to have his personal headings when using SliTeX but
 as it is said in the LaTeX book you cannot. We tried using the fancyheadings
style or even the TeX command \headline={blabla....}, but it did not change
anything. Does anybody know a solution to this problem ?

Thanks,

Depending on what to do in the case of a very long name, this may 
be done easily with just the regular paragraph parameters.  For
this format:

there is no need to disassemble boxes.  The following definition does this.
Note the \hangafter=0 and the negative kern instead of \hangafter=1.
This is to ensure the dots of the leaders are aligned.

I have been installing TeX on several systems lately and would like to
know if I have the most recent information too.

I found a copy of TeX 3.141 available for ftp using archie:

akiu.gw.tohoku.ac.jp
	/pub/tex
		drwxrwxr-x        512  Jul 15 22:57  TeX3.141/
isfs.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp

		drwxr-xr-x        512  Jun 30 18:13  TeX3.141/
ugle.unit.no
	/pub/tex/TeX-3.141
		-rw-r--r--      47794  Oct 21 16:56  README.TeX3.141
		drwxr-xr-x       1024  Jul  3 07:54  TeX3.141/
	/pub/tex/TeX-3.141/TeX3.141
		-rw-r--r--      47794  Jun 22 07:32  README.TeX3.141

I got the file /pub/tex/TeX-3.141.tar.Z from ugle.unit.no and built
the TeX distribution from there.  I really hope they don't mind me
saying where I got it from--I don't want their ftp server to get
overloaded since it is a big 22 MEG file.  It seems to be the current
release as of June '92 or so.  I installed this on our sun3 and sun4
systems, as well as our Convex computer.  No problems for me so far.

I also ftp'd the DECUS tex collection for our VAX/VMS system from
niord.shsu.edu.  It is dated around February '91 but it seemed to be
the most recent version available.  It is not up to version 3.141 yet.
If someone knows of a more recent version for VAX/VMS, I would love to
hear where it is.

I hope I won't have to do this again for a few years if these are
recent versions.

Subject: question: making `environments' from macros
Keywords: question for TeXperts
Date: 6 Jan 93 11:04:18 GMT
Organization: Utrecht University, Dept. of Computer Science

I know this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find the
answer in my files. It probably also appears in TeX By Topic, which is
lent by our library, so I cannot look it up.

The problem is that I want to make an `environment-like' construction
from a macro.
Suppose I have defined
   \def\zap#1{something with #1}

I now want to define control sequences \bzap and \ezap such that
   \bzap blah\ezap
gives the same result as
   \zap{blah}
(I know I shouldn't, but I want it anyway).

The obvious solution
   \def\bzap#1\ezap{\zap{#1}}
is not right, because it cannot be nested.
This means that
   \bzap foo \bzap bar\ezap\ezap
will go wrong, because the first \bzap will get ``foo \bzap bar'' as its
argument.

I played around with \bgroup, \egroup and expandafter, but I could not
get it working. :-(
TeX refuses to parse the input up to the right \ezap.

Is there some kind TeXnician who is willing to help me?

Best regards,
Nico.

ascii version, if at all possible.  I need a way to convert to this, 
and stripping the original LaTeX file is not OK because of the citations.  I
have run into this request before, and expect it again, so it is worth
looking for a real solution.

I am aware of dvi2tty, which is better than nothing, but it tries to space
things to approximate the output, and I just want an ascii file.

Greetings,

Over the last couple of lunch breaks, I've established an experimental gopher
with the following feature: you can retreive small GIF image samples of most
of the internet-available PostScript and MetaFont fonts.  I had the images
lying around (more or less) so I thought I'd set this thing up and see what
people think.

The gopher is at ibis.cs.umass.edu, port 70.

This is a very experimental thing so it may or may not be up at any given time
(though it's _usually_ up right now).  If it becomes too resource consumptive,
it'll have to go.  But I am hoping for some feedback so please try it and let
me know what you think (if you're interested in fonts at all).

If anyone who maintains a more permanent gopher would like to put this service
up locally, let me know and I'll arrange to get the images and directories to
you.

                                                  Enjoy,
                                                    norm

Summary: A proposal for a ready to install TeX for Unix
Keywords: TeX, METAFONT, Unix

I am in the process of revamping my Unix 386 binary distribution of
TeX, METAFONT and Co (TeX386ix).  An architecture specific distribution
turned out not to be such great idea, since only a few components were
really exclusive to 386 Unix.  The binaries for SVR3.2/386 wouldn't 
run under SVR4, so, with help from the net, I kept a replacement module
with the SVR4 binaries.  This could be easily extended to other Unix
systems.

Here is my proposal.  Create a self contained module with the
essential TeX/METAFONT source files + installation makefiles.
Create separate modules containing  architecture specific binaries
generated from the web2c package.  I have already rewritten my
TeX386ix installation makefiles which now should be ready to run under
any reasonable Unix platform.  In conjunction with web2c, the top
makefile can create an archive with the binaries for a given OS.  I
can generate them for Sparc, SV3.2/386 and IRIX 4.0, others could be
contributed by kind netters.  The sysadmin at math.berkeley.edu is
willing to store these archives in their ftp area.

I would like some suggestions on what should be in a "bare essentials"
distribution of TeX.  Currently, I have the minimum TeX and METAFONT
(plain TeX, cm fonts), LaTeX, BibTeX and some miscellaneous packages
(modes.mf, texinfo.tex and pictex).  Do I remove pictex (I haven't
used in a while)?  Add AmsTeX and AmsLateX?

The size for the current archives (compressed) is 1.2M for the sources
and 1.2M for the 386 binaries + manual pages.  The manual pages are
kept in the system specific archive, since they contain the built-in
pathnames. Fonts bitmaps are created during the installation process
and are not included in the distribution.

I am looking for information regarding the construction of an index

getting from the .idx file to the sorted list of index \item entries,
or some other means of automating the process --- there *has* to be a
better way than doing it by hand, like the book suggests.  I have
found an undocumented executable called texindex; nobody seems to know
what it is for, and I can't figure out by trial and error what it is
supposed to do.

Subject: Tables macro help ?

Dear TeXperts (or is that TeXnicians?):

	I'm in the middle of an installation of the TeX distribution, and it
doesn't look like I have a copy of the tables macro, and since my boss and
I would really like to use such a slick macro (and have done so in the 
PC environment).  
	Now here comes the question:  Does anyone out there know where I 
might be able to get the table macro?  An ftp site?  Or a generous soul?
Pointers, info, advice, red herrings, and/or full distributions would be 
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
