Subject: Displaying PSfig on an Xterminal.

   I am contacting you about the availability of code on the Aston
TeX archive. We presently use the psfig suite of macros to import postscript
graphs into our LaTeX documents. We run LaTex on a HP9000/730 system which
runs Unix and X11.4. The previewer we currently use is called xdvi but this
is unable to display the postscript graphics in our files. Does a previewer
exist which will run under X and display Postscript figures. I am told
Ghost Script may be able to do this.

  Any information would be useful.

        Thanks,

                Mike Fearn.

the UK TeX Archive tries not to duplicate general purpose software
like GhostScript (which will indeed do what you want). the base site
for this in the UK is Imperial College's unix archives, site
uk.ac.ic.doc.src (or src.doc.ic.ac.uk if using ftp, in directory gnu).
ghostscript2.5 was released last week, and should compile with no
problems on your HP9000. NOTE that you will need to convert the dvi
output to PostScript first, using dvips.

Further to your entry in this week's UKTeX, might you have been thinking of
this item of mine from UKTeX #19?  It was in reply to T.J. Hunt rather
than to Mark Gallagher, hence your difficulty in finding it in digests
after #22.
 
As you'll see, the gist of it is much the same as my TeXhax item on the
same subject (which David Osborne reproduced in this week's UKTeX).
Nevertheless, I thought you might be interested in an answer to your "in

Subject: [Not] double-spacing
 
T. J. Hunt (UKTeX V92 #19) enquired about "double spacing".  As an
alternative to the doublespace LaTeX style-option suggested by Sebastian,
could he try arguing against double-spacing, and for standard typesetting
conventions?  Possible arguments:
*  double-spacing is a hangover from typewriting.  LaTeX is a typesetting
   system, so typewriting conventions are inappropriate.
*  experiments show that the line-length and inter-line spacing that are
   usual in traditional typesetting are near-optimal for continuous reading.
   (Tinker's work, reported on pages 178-179 of Digital Typography by
   Rubinstein.)
*  BS 4821 for dissertations suggests that, for typeset work, lines should be
   between 60 and 70 characters long (including spaces), with "enough
   space between lines to allow people ease of horizontal scanning". (If
   space is needed for examiners to scribble, it's available in the margins)
*  books & journals on supervisor's shelf won't be typeset double-spaced
   (whatever double-spaced means when typesetting).  Does the supervisor
   think that his/her books & journals would have been better typeset with
   hugely increased line-spacing?  No?  Why do it for an experiment report
   then?
*  normal typesetting inter-line space will increase the amount of related
   material that is view-able at once (e.g., related equations).
 
If the supervisor wants (or the regulation-makers want) professional advice
on the subject, they could try attending the forthcoming UK TUG meeting
on "Document Design" at Reading.

Subject: Re: Regulations for theses

When I submitted my dissertation to Cambridge University in 1988, I
asked the Board of Graduate Studies about single vs. double spacing in
a LaTeX document.  Their response was that as long as the format was
acceptable to the examiners, they didn't care whether it was single
spaced, double spaced, or whatever.  They did ask me to use a large
enough font so that no one would get eye-strain.  I also wound up using
a line spacing of about 1.2, again to make it easier to read.  No one
had any complaints about the format.

Fonts are available from a number of sources. Linotronic at Cheltenham have
sets incluidng a cd disc which I have just bought. It allows you to preview on 
a Mac screen any font and then you can buy the ones you want.

I bought baskerville and a few others and have had relatively few problems 
installing them. An Apple dealer can also get fonts if asked.

Subject: Re: multiple beginner's questions

You have my sympathy. I had exactly the same feelings a year or so back.
I got my dept to buy a one-off TurboTeX to get started, so it all came
with installation instructions and support. However, to make it generally
available I've had to get the equivalent from the public archives. It's
not easy, and you can't complain too much about the lack of documentation
(or opacity of it) at the price. I've done a few weeks solid graft this
summer to clarify the situation for my own benefit. I was thinking of
writing it up as a "Junior Spellbook" for those forced to learn some
wizardry.

Frankly, undefined. Lamport told me, somewhat tartly though I understand
his position, that he had enough problems making LaTeX work, without adding
diagnostics for non-accepted TeX. I'd fallen foul of using a TeX command
that "worked" but gave results I didn't want or expect. There are LaTeX
syntax checkers, so maybe they'd pick up such problems.

I had the same gut feeling that Plain is better documented, more resilient
and more versatile. BUT, LaTeX scores in its range of task-oriented commands.
It's comforting to have a simple command like "title" or "section". So I
seem to end up using LaTeX for lots of applications once I've hacked out a
sample that works. However, the result of my work this summer is to advise
you to install the following if you want to provide a general servce.

1) Plain TeX and LaTeX from emTeX.
2) "New" LaTeX which for DOS comes as replacements for (some/all?) of
the emTeX .zip files. This is needed for ...
3) NFSS - the new font selection scheme, which may then need ...
4) Metafont - install emTeX's mf but you will need some extra font
description (.mf) files from archives.
5) PSNFSS - PostScript extensions to NFSS, on the assumption that PS
is a useful standard and gives facilities for most of what you've mentioned.
6) Rokicki's dvips - seems the best (best running, best documented, best
supported, most versatile) PostScript driver.
7) GhostScript - screnn previewer for PostScript files. Saves a fortune
in toner and time compared with waiting for hard copy!
8) SEMINAR.STY - forget SLITeX, this enables you to generate good OH
slides direct from LaTeX, and also use all sorts of PostScript tricks
(like rotation, scaling and color) if you also get ...
9) PSTRICKS - various PostScript options ready encoded as TeX commands.
That's all LaTeX oriented, but also get ...
10) Eplain - extensions to Plain, but still at the "functional" rather
than "task-oriented" level, and
11) Goatley's NEWSLETR macros, which provide multi-column working within
Plain, multiple fonts and sizes, and serve as patterns for devising your
own macros for e.g., headings etc.
12) You also need various utilities for handling the basic input files -
obviously a general text editor, but TE editor is nice for its default
two window display (input+log) and function keys for jumping to TeX
errors. I also have a word count and file comparators. I haven't found
a spell checker that operates outside the editor or one that scans TeX
input intelligently - TeX commands are logged as errors and ` (left quote)
throws it as well. I also use CG (Correct Grammar, a style checker) but not
on Email messages!

Write the output as PostScript (or EPSF which is equivalent for must
purposes). Then see dvips documentation. Rokicki has his own standard, and
there's also an attempt at a general standard called BOXEDEPSF from
archives that interfaces to dvips and other drivers. I've had one problem
caused by the EPSF file getting copied (from a MAC) with just CR rather
than CRLF at end of line, so had to find a utility to add the LFs!

(a) Don't know. (b) That could be a real big book and it says more about
your current printer than about the fonts. Since most characters are the
same in "text" fonts, do you want a table of each with lots of
irrelevant rules? I'd suggest it makes more sense to write the alphabet
and other characters as one line, so users can compare the widths (maybe
even put a hair line vertical between each character so you can measure
each width directly?), and perhaps a sample text paragraph or each.

see dvips and PSTRICKS.

ditto

Undoubtedly - but they're all biased!  I did read TeX versus the latest
wordprocessors in one of the trade mags earlier this year. All I will say
on that is that one review of the WordPerfect equation editor had an
example of "n times x bar times y bar" and the bars happily straddled
two characters without the reviewer commenting. I personally tried 
Word for Windows last week and it offered as a hyphenation "se-lected".
A TugBoat last year had a comparison of TeX versus Chiwriter, in which
the author recommended using Chiwriter for input but then converting to
TeX for submission to publishers, despite several major technical
pitfalls and objections. As the author was the person selling Chiwriter,
I would quote Mandy Rice Davies (but I won't! I'm a tease).

> - Is TeX alive and well?  Should I be investing time in learning it or

TeX has been around (in stable form) for over ten years. This means that
most of the world still haven't woken up to it. It doesn't have a sexy
appearance, so many people dismiss it. However, a casual computer user
spontaneously said to me last week what I've said to colleagues for years.
He said, "I spent hours using XXXX (a WYSIWYG spreadsheet) and it's
very powerful but when I get the right results I've got no record of
what I clicked on and no way of recalling that sequence to use again."

I suspect that as people get tired of doing adventure games rather than
obtaining the results they want, they will wake up to the advantages of
a command language. Recent evidence suggests that the evolution of the
tongue sparked off modern human (social and technical) evolution, rather
than the hand. I say that the argument about mice being intuitive because
babies point is falacious. Humans evolved and babies grow when they learn
to manipulate abstract ideas and convey meaning through tokens rather than
grunts and direct representations.

Join TUG! Join the LaTeX 3 discussion list! Try even to keep abreast
of what's going into the archives.

> - What the heck is web and is there anything else written in it?

WEB is the language that Knuth wrote to write programs to develop systems
to write books about writing better programs. You take the WEB source
and can compile it into machine code or typeset documentation. 
However, I admit it still baffles me, so I'm grateful to all the people
who put ready compiled BOOed/ZIPed/ARCed/PACKed/UUEed/WHATEVERed
programs into archives. If you get the list 1-12 above all working on
a PC, you've got a pretty hot system.

There now seem to be quite a number of laser printers costing under #600,

features are built-in including large sans serif font as normal font,
options for setting normalsize at 20pt (default), 17pt, 25pt or 30pt,
new macros for starting new foils, for special environments like
Theorem and Proof, simple macros to control the headline and footline.

*****************************

   I have created a set of Latex programs, collectively called geom,
   that work with Lamport's book and article styles and provide
   a number of additional features:

   - Inclusion of PostScript figures in the document,
     and of TeX text within figures.
   - Automatic creation of index entries and cross-reference labels.
   - No restriction on the use of macros and special characters in
     titles, cross-references, captions, etc. (i.e. no need to worry
     about fragile commands in almost all situations).
   - Greater versatility in defining theorem-like environments.
   - Proofing aids such as version numbers and a running index.
   - TeX labels in Mathematica figures.

   There are also purely esthetic differences,
   many of which can be controlled by the user.

   You can get the package by anonymous ftp from geom.umn.edu,

After chbars was made available, someone sent me mail pointing out
that I had broken chbars.tex. They basically ran test3.tex, and it
didn't work. I am not even sure how test1.tex and test2.tex worked.

(When I tested these on my PC/AT at home, I forgot that on MSDOS there is
no such thing as a symbolic link. On Unix, chbars.tex->chbars.sty.
As a result, I had been testing the same old version of chbars.tex.
Gotta start paying attention to those version numbers...)

Anyway, I have fixed up chbars.tex. I thought I could have one file
that handled both Plain TeX and LaTeX. I don't see that it is that easy to
do. In the process, I revised some comments and started using the

   Version 0.91 of PSTricks was announced to users on a mailing list
   after its completion last June, but this is the first "public"
   announcement because I was away for the summer.

   The most important change is that the \dbox macro has been
   replaced by a collection of very powerful and flexible node
   connection macros, which are good for trees, mathematical
   diagrams, and connecting information.

   There are also some new graphics objects, including an arc
   object that allows arrowsheads, and various curve interpolation
   objects.

   For those who are new, PSTricks is a kitchen sink of PostScript-
   based TeX macros. Among other things, it is probably the most
   powerful TeX drawing package around. It can be used with
   most TeX macro packages, including Plain TeX, LaTeX, AmS-TeX
   and AmS-LaTeX.

You will be accessible by phone  at Kajetanka. The area code is +422.
The phone number is 316 72 12, or 35  47 50 to 59, or 35 25 50 to 59.
The operator will  put your call through to your  room provided he is

carefully pronounced). From Kajetanka  only local calls are possible.
There  is no  FAX available  at the  Residence. Connection via e-mail
will be  available at a  special computer room  close to the  lecture
hall.  For the  time being  we cannot  promise an  access to  FTP and

(5,25" drive is not easily available).
 
 
 
Kajetanka -- how to get there ?
Here is  a short description  how to use  public transport system  on
your arrival  to Prague. First you  should buy some tickets  (4,- Kcs
(Czechoslovak Crowns)  each -- there  are some automatic  machines at
the underground stations (orange colour)  or you can use tobacconists
or  the  reception  desks  of  Prague  hotels  to  get them). You are
supposed to stamp one ticket per one  use of bus, or tram. Within the
underground system (Metro -- the stations  are marked by "M") you can
change fro one line to another A,B,C  and the ticket is valid for one
hour.
 
Public transport is  relatively cheap, but when going  by taxi, it is
better to  agree on the fare  beforehand, since prices are  not fixed
and actually depend on drivers (prices  on taxi-meters are in Kcs and
they should be indicated on the  car right door; they vary from about
6 to 10 Kcs  per kilometer). The shortest way  from the terminuses to
Kajetanka Student Residence is as follows:
 
1. Railway.  From the main  railway station ("Hlavni  nadrazi"), take
the  underground line  C (in  the direction  "Haje") up  to the  next
station ("Muzeum"). At this station change for underground line A (in
the direction "Dejvicka") and get off at the station "Hradcanska". At
the exit  of the station follow  the sign "BUS" (number  108 or 174).
Take  a  bus  (*number  108  or  174*)  which  goes  to  the  station
"Kajetanka" located just in front of the Kajetanka Residence.
Other railway stations:
>From  "Praha -  Holesovice" station  use the  underground line  C and
change at "Muzeum" station for  line A (in the direction "Dejvicka").
Continue as in the previous case.
>From "Praha  - Masaryk station"  (old name: "Praha  - Stred" station)
use underground  line B in  the direction "Nove  Butovice". Change at
station "Mustek"  for line A (in  the direction "Dejvicka"). Continue
as in the  previous cases. Maps of the  Prague underground system are
displayed at all its stations and in all carriages of the underground
trains.
 
2.  Flight. From  the airport  take  bus  number 119  to the  station
"Dejvicka"; this is  the terminus of the underground  line A as well.
Change and  take underground to  the next station  ("Hradcanska") and
then use the bus as described above.
 
3.  Car. Roads  are relatively  good but  with only  a few  motorways
(speed  limits: 110  km/h on  motorways, 90  on roads,  60 in towns).
Parking in Prague is generally difficult. There are places to park in
the neighbourhood of  the Residence, but not a  (guarded) parking. If
you arrive  by car along  E 50,  try  to get to  the crossroad called
"Vypich" (this name is used on maps, too) located on the west side of
Prague on E 48. (Short description: leave the motorway at its end and
follow the road via flyover  to the centre (sign: "Centrum") downhill
for about 1  km; cross another flyover (do not  leave the road to the
right !!!)  over another road  and follow the  road up to  the top of
a hill (there is a big hospital on your right) to the traffic lights;
you are at  "Vypich", where you should turn to  the right.) From this
crossroad, follow the drive straight down to the centre of Prague (to
the  east). After  about 2  km (you  will be  at "Patockova"  street,
former  name "Pionyru",  which is  still sometimes  used) you will be
close to Kajetanka Residence (it is the only one high building on the
left  side  of  the  road).  We  hope  that  the  small  partial  map
(unfortunately too small)  will help you. If you come  along E 55 try
to follow the  direction to Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad)  and you will get
to the  required E 48.  Do not cross  the Vltava river.  Any road map
should suffice to  find the way. In the  case the Kajetanka Residence
will be on your right. *An (important) note*: a lot of names has been
changed after 1989 and even relatively new maps could be wrong as for
names !
 
Performances:
We  tried to  reserve tickets  for the  Black Theatre ("Panoptikum ta
Fantastika" Theatre, 15.9. at  20.30, performance "Aspects of Alice",
14  DM  or  250  Crowns  )  and  for  Laterna  Magica ("The Palace of
Culture",  17.9.  at  20.00,  performance  "Odysseus",  24  DM or 430
Crowns): they will be available  during the Registration, but we have
only a  limited number of tickets.  Those who intend to  visit one or
both performances  are asked to  send an e-mail.  Programmes of other
theatres will be available also during the Registration.
 
What will be covered by the package fee (without extras):
a season ticket for buses, trams (streetcars) and for the underground
from the first day after your arrival (from September, 14 or 15, till
the end of your stay in Prague), sightseeing tour on Monday afternoon
(provided you ordered it), welcome party, halfpension for Sept. 15 --
18 (breakfast at Kajetanka Residence,  lunch at the conference site),
organ  concert,  refreshment  during  breaks,  materials with general
information  and daily  bulletin, Proceedings  of EuroTeX  92 (rather
*interesting* book, 320 pp.) is covered by paying the "package".
 
Note  that  during  the  Conference  the  additional  copies  of  the
Proceedings of EuroTeX 92 will be  available in the limited number of
copies for  the *special* price  of 30 DM.  If you are  interested in
ordering the  Proceedings without comming to  EuroTeX, please contact
*after the conference* <jvesely@cspguk11.bitnet>, or write to
 
     Ceskoslovenske sdruzeni uzivatelu TeXu (CSTUG)
     Matematicky ustav UK
     Sokolovska 83
     CS-186 00 Praha
     Czechoslovakia
 
We are going to cooperate in  the spreading of Proceedings with other
local TUGs.
 
Payment:
Those  who has  not pay  untill now  are requested  to send money via
SWIFT (!) to the following account
 
           34735-021/0100 at KOMERCNI BANKA, PRAHA MESTO
 
The address of the bank is
 
   KOMERCNI  BANKA, pob.  Praha --  MESTO,
   Vaclavske  nam. 42
   110 00 PRAHA 1
   Czechoslovakia
 
while the name of the account is
 
   Ceskoslovenske sdruzeni uzivatelu TEXu
 
Cancellation:
In case of cancellation (please,  do it only if absolutely necessary,
you would miss a lot of fun !) we will refund you the amount you paid
minus a  sum which regrettably  has to be  deducted: for cancellation
done till  September 10 it will  be 10 \% of  the payment; after this
date it will be 120 DM (Proceedings will be sent to you).
 
Climate:
Since  much  of  Prague   fascination  (besides  the  Conference)  is
historical, architectural and cultural, it can be enjoyed at any time
of  the year.  The average  maximum temperature  in September is 18~o
C (64~o F) and the weather is relatively stable (except this year !).
 
Currency:
The Czechoslovak Crown (Kcs) is rated now approx. 18:1 to DM, approx.
28:1  to  USD.  Recently,  prices  have  slightly increased. They are
slowly   approaching  "western   standards"  but   in  many  respects
Czechoslovakia is  considered to be favourable  and cheap for western
tourists.
 
We wish  you pleasant journey  to Prague. We  hope you will  find the
Conference exciting and meet stimulating for your further work.
