You need Donald Arseneau's <asnd@triumfcl.bitnet> overcite.sty (a part of
his excellent ``cite'' family of styles -- cite.sty for enhanced [5-9] type
citations, drftcite.sty for draft (draught) mode citations (labels instead
of numbers), and overcite.sty for superscripted cites).

To retrieve the file via e-mail, include:
 SENDME STY.OVERCITE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu)
-- or include SENDME STY.*CITE to get all three.  The files are available
for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in
[FILESERV.STY].

1) Before your "\begin{document}" line, insert the command : "\input{psfig}"
2) When you want then to insert a PS file, just put this :
	\begin{figure}[hbtp]
		\psfig{figure=....ps}
		\centerline
		\caption{... \label{...}}
	\end{figure}

Funny you should say that...  In an article at the weekend in a most reputable
British newspaper, it was alleged that some software houses were deliberately
introducing errors and `time bombs' into their software, some simple, some 
malicious, in order to secure future "business" from their clients.  (Extortion, 
basically.)

Keywords: TeX LaTeX box dimension register font \tt verbatim tab width \hbox
Organization: U of Texas at Austin / Physics Dept / Center for Relativity
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 92 07:20:29 GMT

In a LaTeX style file, how can I set \dimen\tabwidth to the width
of {\tt xxxxxxxx} in the *current* size?  All of my attempts so far
yield \normalsize\tt.

[It's almost certainly not relevant, but the context of this is
that I'm trying to modify a tab-interpreting verbatim.sty to use
the current font's \tt rather than always using \normalsize\tt.]

My main attempts so far:

\newdimen\tabwidth
\setbox0=\hbox{\tt xxxxxxxx}	gives me \normalsize\tt
\dimen\tabwidth=\wd0

\newdimen\tabwidth
\setbox0={\tt xxxxxxxx}		is a TeX error, because \setbox requires
\dimen\tabwidth=\wd0		a *box*, which {\tt xxxxxxxx} isn't

\newdimen\tabwidth		gives \normalsize\tt, but I don't know why
\edef\@xtab{\tt xxxxxxxx}	(I thought the \edef would get me the
\setbox0=\hbox{\@xtab}		current (size of) \tt -- why doesn't it?)

[I have the sinking feeling that I'm missing something painfully
obvious, but alas neither trial and (numerous) errors nor rereading
various chapters of the \TeX{}book yield any insights.  Please be
gentle if this is a silly question.]

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide,

\glqq Hallo\grqq will typeset the german quotes. Unfortunately you will
need the german.sty to use these commands. You may use \originalTeX and 
\germanTeX to turn the additional german commands (for umlauts and such)
off and on.

Hi.

How do I place a figure (a LaTeX picture) in my text in such a way that the
figure is placed _inside_ the text - that is, the text "moves away" leaving
enough space for the figure.

Something like this:
-------  Here goes
       | my text, it
  fig  | just conti-
       | nues as if

Article-I.D.: cbnewsj.1992Aug19.134540.3903
Distribution: na
Organization: Bob's House of Programs

I have noted the comparisons here between W4W and LaTeX, and would
like to add my 2\cents\ worth, i.e., my wish list for W4W templates:

0. As noted by others, changing the style (or picking a new
   template) should immediately change formats in a document.

1. W4W styles are per-paragraph. I want to be able to define a
   style that applies, to, say, program snippets. Then I can write
   something like:
	The following code is used to increment a variable:
		++var;
	where _var_ is the name of the variable.
   And both the indented portion and the _var_ text are in the
   same typeface, size, spacing, etc. Maybe it's just the
   italicized version of my default font, maybe its a courier type
   of font, emboldened and increased two points in size. And if my
   need changes, so does all the text with that style.

2. Templates don't nest. W4W gives you a base template (normal)
   and any number of user-defined templates. What I'd like is the
   ability to have a hierarchy of templates.
	Normal - i.e., global stuff
	  Work - glossaries of work-related terms, macros, etc.
	    Memo - template for a work-related memorandum
	    ManPage - template for a UNIX-style man page
	    Letter - template for a work-related letter
	  Personal - glossaries of personal nature, macros, etc.
	    Letter - template for a personal letter
	    Manuscript - template for the great American novel.
   W4W lets you have all the 'leaf' templates in this tree, but,
   for example, I use the same buzzwords in all my writing at
   work. I don't want those glossaries & macros etc. in my normal
   template, because they would conflict with their personal
   counterparts. But I don't want to have the task of maintaining
   them in all the different work-related templates. Or turn this
   around: I may want to have two different templates of a memo or
   a manpage, if I work on two projects each with their own glos-
   saries and macros but don't want to duplicate the manpage styles
   in two separate project-related templates.

Both Word and FrameMaker have tools for creating tables in the manner

I believe that SGML =does= provide the structure you would like, as well.

We are  looking for an intelligent and powerful text
comparison  algorithm  or application which would be
used  to  compare a text (10 to 100 pages) against a
large database of texts (1 Gbyte) in order to locate
identical  or  highly similar  portions of  the text
(paragraphs, sentences, or phrases) in the database.

The algorithm should be able to spot non-exact similarities,
eg. paragraphs where certain phrases have been omitted or
added, where words have changed, etc. One could either
imagine a two step algorithm which preselects first a
number of similar texts against which the pattern matching
algorithm is applied, or a powerful algorithm which
compares the text against the whole database. Eventually,
such an algoritm might have been developed for other
applications which could be reused, such as pattern
matching in databases of genetic code.

If we could find such a pearl of an algoritm that can be
build into our own applications, we'd be very happy; if
it would be available as a ready-to-use product,
we'd be delighted.

Any suggestions ?

Files with the .z suffix have been compressed with the 'pack' program,
which uses Huffman coding.  They can be uncompressed with 'unpack',
which replaces the compressed file with its uncompressed form.  There is
also the program 'pcat', which uncompresses .z files and sends the
result to standard output.

Files with the .Z suffix have been compressed with the 'compress'
program, which uses the Lempel-Ziv compression method.  They can be
uncompressed with 'uncompress'.  There is also a 'zcat' program, which
is the analog of 'pcat' for these files.

The 'pack' and 'compress' programs are generally available on Unix
systems, and may be available on other systems, but I don't know which
ones may have them.
