I believe Mark Zimmermann's Free Text Browser will fit the bill.  I have
never used it myself, though I have briefly used a stripped down UNIX
version.  According to my handout, availability (in BinHex format)
is as follows:

Anonymous FTP:

	sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6)
	as /info-mac/card/free-text-101.hqx

MSG/TELL on BITNET:

MAIL TO FILESERV@IRLEARN.EARN

	with first line of body:
	GET 9005409 00000002

Remove mail headers, run BinHex and Stuffit.

If the Laserwriter is a PostScript printer, why go through the trouble of
converting to WordPerfect?  Just print the FrameMaker document to a file
(it will already be PostScript) then dump _that_ directly to the printer.

On the PC side of the fence I would look at both FreeHand and Adobe 
Illustrator.  Both output good PostScript and let you do more than you 
want to.  Steep learning curves (depending on your background) are rewarded 
over time.  I would suggest going in to a store that has both installed on 
a floor machine and giving each one 1/2 hour.  "But I don't have that kind 
of time!"  You can't afford not to.  On the Mac side, many designers buy 
both and choose their tool in relation to the task at hand.  At $400+ apiece, 
that's a chunk of change.  If you're going to a service bureau ask them if 
they have a preference.  What it really boils down to is which user interface 
you're more comfortable with.  Either one will do 99% of what you want.

Doesn't the accent in question look like the old acute?  In which case a Greek

Ancient Greek typesetting will always use the system of accents devised by the
Alexandrinian grammarians, because not to do so would cripple the ability of
new scholars to deal with older editions texts, as well as losing information
of importance to linguists.

I am using \midinsert to place figures, but want to treat  
figures on odd pages differently than on even pages.  I create a  
box containing \FigEven and \FigOdd and use the following  
construction:

\midinsert
     \ifodd\pageno\copy\FigOdd
     \else\copy\FigEven\fi
\endinsert

This works *most* of the time, but every now and then I get a
FigOdd on an even page or vice versa.  It looks like \pageno is  
getting expanded at the wrong time.

I have to admit, I'm pretty vague on just when \pageno is  
*finally* determined, and how this interacts with \midinsert.  
Can anyone offer some pointers?

Does CP6uH, signed `Nik', speak Australian?  Having been an Australian

With a name like Nik, I don't know if CP6uH speaks any of the Slavic

although if I got brave I could ask the cleaners who are some brand of
Balkan what they think.  But I can read (most) Cyrillic characters

Here in Australia, they print lots of Guvvie stuff multilingually
(even if it's only a paragraph giving the phone number for the
Government Interpreter Service where someone, I guess, will read the

Croatian written on the same piece of paper, the words aren't all the

To me, it seems that whether they are the same language, or not, in

There were a couple of posts on this mornings c.t.t digest concerning
purported incompatibilities between TeX and LaTeX.  As far as I have
determined, there are about a dozen plain TeX commands that are omitted
from LaTeX.  There is also one direct incompatibility, namely that
\centering is defined differently from that of plain.  The plain
\centering macro is called \@centering in LaTeX.  Of the omitted ones,
the only ones I actually miss are \eqalign (note the spelling) and
\eqalignno.  I have simply copied the definitions into my macros
files (careful: the latter uses \centering and this has to be
replaced by \@centering) and use them.

The remaining missing plain macros are replaced by better ones in LaTeX,
but they can be put back in.

Hopefully, someone will give a better answer, but here's something...

I've used 'theapa' version 2.5, recently announced by Young U. Ryu

You've got at least two questions here:

Some authorities - including those consulted by Don Knuth when he designed
the TeX hyphenation algorithm - do not allow the constituent words of a
hyphenated compound to be hyphenated.  TeX DELIBERATELY enforces this; it
will break at the embedded hyphens, but will not insert any discretionary
breakpoints itself.  The same goes for "connected" m-dashes and such.

\hyphenation expects words to consist only of letters (category code 11); you
can't give it stuff with punctuation.

The easiest solution is, as you not, to insert a \- yourself, in essense
telling TeX to ignore its built-in rules.  Think about how the result is
going to look and, more important, "read", before you go in for this in a big
way.  An exception every once in a while is no big deal, either for the
writer or the reader, but I'd be leary of a general violation.  The rule is
there for good reason.

(BTW, there is a "dirty trick" technique for getting the appropriate effect -
if I remember right, you insert a \kern0 after the hyphen, and as far as TeX
is concerned, you how have two words, one ending in a hyphen, either of which
is subject to hyphenation.  The kern can be inserted automatically by an
appropriately-defined active character.  Details left to the reader....)

I don't know if there's a version of dvi2ps that does it, but once

Springer-Verlag has recently started running a mail server through

sheets for their various journals and book series.

For more information, grab a copy of the TeX Macro Index, which is

tex/TeX-index.  To get a copy by email, send a message containing the

Here's where a little innovation comes to play.  The easiest way to do this
is to:
 (a) create a LaTeX-able "drafting" file for each paper/article {\em
without} the general preamble stuff, but with a title-like entry
(generally, you can get away with some variation on \chapter{Paper Title},
\author{Who Did It}, etc., as defined by the style.
 (b) create a "driver" file which includes the preamble and \input's the
various "drafting" files.
 (c) LaTeX the driver file and let it run.
 (d) LaTeX the driver file a second (and third, if necessary) time to
generate the necessary ancillaries, such as the toc.

Depending on the complexity of the style file and other used tools, you can
include BibTeX-able bibliographies for each article, a master Bibliography
section, with notes where cited, an Index section, etc.
