Several months back, I got a flyer in the mail about a WYSIWIG Windows
document processing program called "Sci-Write" (or such) which is
WYSIWIG, *but* which will generate TeX or LaTeX output.  Now I can't
find the flyer.  Is this available for Macintoshes as well?

If anybody has heard of this program and knows the name of the company
or other information about it, please send me an email message to:

Thanks.

Greetings,

I've poked about on the net looking for the docstrip package (MZ0) but I
can't find it.  There are lots of sites that have docstrip.*, but none
seem to have the canonical distribution file (assuming that there is one).
Is there one?  Where is it?

                                                  Thanks, in advance,

Hi there.

	This is a bit of a toughy and I have no idea whether it
has/could be done. Is there available, or is anyone thinking of
writing, a dvi2[printer] driver which would call ghostscript to
interpret any ps or eps figures embedded in the dvi file? What I am
envisaging is using gs only to interpret those parts which require
interpreting, rather than using dvips->gs->printer for a whole dvi file
(can be very time consuming on a 386SX!)

	Any help welcomed...

Hi all,

Can anybody tell me where the source code of bigpiclatex is located??
It is much more easier to draw pictures in xfig, transfer them to
tex-files with the help of fig2dev and compile them with bigpiclatex.

There's only one problem. I haven't got bigpiclatex on my own machine,
so where can I find it (preferrable source code)?

Regards Leon

What I would do is to simply insert the footnote number where you want
a footnote like this$^1$ and then put all your footnotes at the end of
the paper.  Just make sure you keep track of the footnote numbers.

Isn't the proper term "control sequence"?  Or are control sequences a

Hold it.  Mr Welch was not flamed because he knows less about TeX than
some other netters do (which he himself admitted), but because of his
ignorant and inflammatory criticism of certain features of TeX which
are justified by the overall ideology of the language.  I mean, asking
why multiple-character control sequences in TeX can by default only
contain letters and how one can change that is not the same as
referring to this state of affairs as an unfortunate lack of a
rudimentary capability to understand something that doesn't really
have to be the case.

Just select a HP-Deskjet printer if possible. PCLtoMSP will respond much
faster. This is because the DeskJet way of life is like a one-to-one
"bitmap" protocol: each bit is downloaded via it's electronics and programs
to the ink-cartridge. The used coding-sheme is called PCL-level-2.
The LaserJet is using a higher level because a laserjet has memory, the
deskjets only a printbuffer. Therefore uses the laserjet things like 
font-downloading and strange position pointings. PCLtoMSP has to do a much 
harder job.

The save in speed will be really significant!

You could make one.  Get uga.sty from aisun1.ai.uga.edu (directory /ai.tex)
and look at how it does it; then make your own .sty file containing just
the parts you want, adapted to suit your own needs.

This is related to the eternal FAQ of where you get LaTeX, but with a
different twist.  Specifically, is there any ftp site that has the WHOLE
THING in a form that you can ftp, edit the makefile for your site, and
then just make it?  Surely this isn't too much to ask, as you can do
that with zillions of other PD systems (look at GNU, for instance).
Near as I can tell, you have two choices with LaTeX:

1. Convince someone to issue a check for $200 or so to U Washington and
mail tapes around.

2. Collect about 500 dimly-related files from about 10 ftp sites, and
then hack away until you have something that works

Please, LaTeX gurus, tell me there is another way!!

X-Gateway-Source-Info: Mailing List

caren levine (comp.text.tex, october 30) reports that she is getting
error messages when she tries to break a long formula in display mode.

the answer is simple.

the display contains the terms \left{ and \right} and the length of
the formula requires that the left and right members of the pair be
on different lines.

tex requires that \left...\right be matched within a single formula
(texbook, p. 148).  the catch here is that tex considers different
lines of a multi-line display each to be a separate formula.  so
the \left{ in the first line must be matched by \right. in the same
line, and similarly with the \right} in the third line.

see the texbook, p. 196, first "dangerous bend" paragraph, for a
specific example.  (note that suitable \phantom's can be used
instead of the \bigg shown there to assure that the sizes of the
delimiters come out the same.)

Date: 10 Nov 92 12:04:00 +1300

	I am using the tabular environment to create a table.
Some of the table headings need extra explanation which
I will put as a footnote. To avoid confusion I want the
footnote mark to be a letter rather than a number.

Tabular environment seems to throw up on a simple footnote
command .. which would normally produce a letter footnote mark,
so I tried \footnotemark and \footnotetext. Unfortunately these
only seem to accept numbers as footnote marks. However
tabular will accept a footnotemark instruction ..
and the footnote text can be put outside the tabular 
environment.

	Could someone suggest a way round this problem please.

Hi all you (La)TeX users,

I'm using figures in some of my documents, since one picture says
more than a thousand words, but I've run into a small problem. 

Every chapter is in its own separate file and so is every figure.
But as soon as I've introduced a figure in my document, all section,
subsections and corresponding labels are lost. That is, they don't show
up in the contents anymore. So my question is, what is wrong with the
following:

\chapter{introduction}
\label{chap.introduction}
%This works fine

blablabla...........

\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\include{fig_1}
\caption{This is figure 1}
\label{fig.figure}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

blabla........

\section{This is a section}
\label{sec.section}
%The section doesn't show up in the contents and the label is unknown
%throughout my entire document

And fig_1.tex looks like:

\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}
\begin{picture}(100,100)(0,0)

\put(0,0){\framebox(100,100)}{framebox}

\end{picture}

Any help would be appreciated on this one. Thanks.

There was an article in a very early TUGboat
describing a port of TeX (of that time) to a pdp-11.
As I recall, they had to split the program
into 2 processes.

But can you break the 64k limit on arrays on a pdp-11?
Your TeX would have to be quite small,
with mem_max \le 16k, otherwise.

I have heard that it is always safe in tex to put an italic correction
(\/) before a space.  I have noticed that my papers need italic
corrections in a lot of places.  If it is really safe to do so, I
would like to redefine space to be an italic correction plus a space.
My questions:

(1) is it safe?
(2) how do I do it?
