Subject: Compiling TeX Problems...

Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 21:49:26 GMT

Dear folks,
	I am desparately looking for a TeX guru (and/or sys-admin person)
who can help me through a couple of obstacles in installing and compiling
a distribution copy of TeX from the Northwest Computing Support Center
(i.e. a complete distribution of MF, TeX, LaTeX, etc.).  
	Anyway, I've managed to get through most(?) of the installation,
but have run across this problem:  at the point where MF generates the
base font 'plain'(about 40 minutes into the make all sequence)
it claims that it can't find plain.  Now I know that this sounds confusing,
but let me explain.
	I believe that this is calling the mf directory's Makefile, which
reads and calls for localmodes=modes and bases=plain.base.  At about this
time in the make, TeX (or is it MF?) objects that there's no 'plain'.  
I don't know if this means plain.base, plain.mf, plain.tmf, or what.  There
is no plain.base file in the whole distribution, and the only places where
there are modes files (both modes.mf), there are also plain.mf files, so
it can't be that it's not finding the .mf files in the same directories
(or can it?).  
	PLEASE!  I'm stuck in my installation unless I get some kind 
soul(s) to help me through this hurdle.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am using AMS-LaTeX and have been searching for a macro which carries out
the same function as \bar{} but puts the bar underneath the character
instead. This kind of notation is often used to denote the lower end of a
distribution. Does anyone out there know of the macro I should be using to
obtain this notation??

Thanks in advance,

I must admit to bad practice in redefining all of \cite, \@cite, and \@citex
in cite.sty, leaving no `hooks' for other macros.  If some other package
is needed only for its bibliography, and its \cite format is undesirable,
you can just  use [chapterbib,cite] instead of [cite,chapterbib] for the
documentstyle...presuming the "3.0" version of cite.sty.  Before, I
don't think I redefined \cite itself, which leaves another hook, but
allows another macro package to "steal" the citation.  Maybe the new
version is better for that after all.

[shar file with cite.sty in it]

It looks like some lines got wrapped improperly in cite.sty.

Dvips removes comments from included postscript files by default.
Try calling dvips with the option ``-K0'', this should leave the
comments in and thus also your bitmap. See also page 28 of the dvips
manual.

(Sounds weird to me, by the way, a formalism where bitmaps are stored
in comments..)

Why don't you use \input{figure_file} instead of \include{figure_file} ?

Using \include leads Latex to save a lot of informations (contents and label)
in a .aux file, which is recalled on every compilation. I don't know
where this information are saved when you use \include inside a figure.
That may be why your table of contents is destroyed if Latex saves new 
informations in tex_file.aux instead of creating a new figure_file.aux .

Does any TeX wizard have a real answer instead of an hypothesis ?

I do this (in a style file).
Don't know if it is the best solution.
I got it from one of the NFSS lfonts files.

\def\tr{\mathop{\operator@font tr}\nolimits}
\def\ker{\mathop{\operator@font ker}\nolimits}
\def\im{\mathop{\operator@font im}\nolimits}

Also this for bold letters.
Again, I don't know if it is the politically correct solution.

Any idea how this works? does it use PostScript to rotate the fonts? I

In search of TeX programmers who also program in C.  I would like to compare
the two languages on at least the following criteria:

1.      how many commands

2.      length of time it takes to learn

3.      level of complexity

4.      college credit hours applicable to learn each

Other relevant criteria would be greatly appreciated --
the more technical your response the better.

Hopefully the feedback I receive from this message will reinforce my belief
and allow me to show management that TeX (with automatic inclusion of
Postscript files) is equally as complex as the C programming language.
Incidentally, we do have TeX running on VAX/VMS, VAX/Ultrix as well as
Textures on the Mac.

I am currently the TeX resource for my employer as well as administering
approx. 50 Macintosh II's and would like to show the complexity of
my responsibilities.  Because TeX is unlike FORTRAN and because
the Macintosh is new to the business environment, the complexity
of these two functions is difficult to assess.

I edit a monthly newsletter for which I'm using TeX but for the Christmas

I raided the TeX archive at ftp.tex.ac.uk and found a LaTeX style file for
crosswords.

Now that I have and have played with LaTeX a little I'd like to switch from
pure TeX to LaTeX for producing every issue of the mag. The existing style
files (at ftp.tex.ac.uk) dont include one for newsletters and I'm not yet
up to defining my own. So if ayone has a newsletter style I'd appreciate
obtaining a copy.

If there's some other ftp in the world that has TeX related material that
Aston doesn't have then I'd like to know that too.

You have to run the program "eps" (available both on the PC and

Neither TeX nor LaTeX do this.

There is no such bias.

No, I'm not telling you not to believe your eyes!  Obviously, it IS happening
to you.  But you must be doing something that is CAUSING TeX/LaTeX to make
this unfortunate decision.  There are plenty of ways to do that, deliberately
or otherwise.

Why not post an example of text in which this happens?  That's the only way
you'll get a useful answer.

I do not know how to do the following, within a \caption.
 (i) How to have more than one line of text, appropriately aligned
     to the right the word "Figure 1".
(ii) How to include a footnote in the caption's text and appear at the bottom
     of the page the figure appears.
If you can help me, please reply to : mtaw621@orange.cc.utexas.edu
