I just installed Gnu's GCC/2 on my OS/2 system, and the docs appear to be
in the TeX format...This resulted in the following questions....

	1. What's the difference between TeX and DVI...I've got a nice
	   PM-Based DVI viewer, but no way to convert between the two.

	2. Does anybody know of program to strip TeX commands from a file?
	   OS/2 or DOS would be preferred, but straight C source is fine too.

	3. Where's the TeX FAQ?

Thanx for the assist....

I just compiled the latest version of dvips, but the output looks
real grainy.  Is there something I forgot to do?

BTW, I am using an HP iiiSI with postscript and 4M of ram.

hi,

i try to write some simple commands, that realise file-i/o within latex.

i wrote the following sty-file with the command definitions:

\newcommand{\ropenf}[2]{
 \newread\#1
 \immediate\openin\#1=\#2
}


\newcommand{\wopenf}[2]{
 \newwrite\#1
 \immediate\openout\#1=\#2
}

\newcommand{\fread}[2]{
  \immediate\read\#1 to \#2
}

\newcommand{\fwrite}[2]{
  \immediate\write\#1{#2}
}

\newcommand{\rclosef}[1]{
  \immediate\closein\#1
}


\newcommand{\wclosef}[1]{
  \immediate\closeout\#1
}

But when i try to runn an examplefile, which uses the commands i get the following error:

This is TeX, C Version 3.0
(filtest.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 <9 Jan 1990>
(/tools/tex/latex/macros/article.sty

                   \newread
l.50  \newread
              \#1


When i use the appropriate \newread, \openin, \read commands in the testfile, i.e. without 
defining the new commands, everything works fine.
It seems that those commands are forbidden only whithin the \newcommand statement.

Here is the testfile i use to test the macros: (well, latex complains within fileio.sty, so 
these commands are not processed ....)

\documentstyle[fileio]{article}
\begin{document}

% open file readfile.tex for read, filedescriptor r
\ropenf{r,readfile}

% read line
\fread{r,line1}

The first line of the file is:\\
\line

% read line
\fread{r,line2}

The next line of the file is:\\
\line

% open file writefile.tex for write, fdes w
\wopenf{w, writefile}

% write lines in reverse order
\fwrite{w,\line2}
\fwrite{w,\line1}

%close writefile

Hello NetPeople:

I am working on a document which has one section which requires a LOT of
footnotes.  However, on the last page of that section, the final footnote
runs into the next section, so I'm forced to put a \newpage after that
section to get those footnotes off the bottom of the first page of the next
section where they don't belong.  The problem is, now that straggling
footnote is on a page by itself all the way down at the bottom of the
page.  What I would like to do is move that footnote up near the top of
that blank page.  At least this wouldn't look so odd.  I tried playing with
Latex's \pagecontents \def, but I couldn't get anything to work.

Anybody got a decent solution to this?

Thanks, Andy Biewer

It seems that no one gave a macro to use instead of the LaTeX \Box
character as an end of proof symbol.  Overlaying a squarecup and a
squarecap works pretty well:

\def\Box{\hbox{\rlap{$\sqcap$}$\sqcup$}}

I have no idea where to start looking for this problem, but I'm pretty

Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1992 17:40:23 GMT

I am having trouble getting the `correct' value of a counter typed out on the
screen using \typeout and \Roman.

I have a counter called chapter, and defined \thechapter as follows
        \newcounter{chapter}
        \def\thechapter{\Roman{chapter}

so that when the chapter is 3, I would get III as the value of the chapter.

While processing, I want to typeout the current chapter number, so at
the relevant place, I issue the command \typeout{\thechapter}


If \thechapter is defined as               I get as output

        \arabic{chapter}                        3
        \roman{chapter}                         iii
        \Roman{chapter}                         \uppercase {iii}
        \alph{chapter}                          c
        \Alph{chapter}                          C


QUESTION 1::

Is this a bug in LaTeX? \Roman is not expanded but everything else
gets displayed properly? In latex.tex, \@Roman is defined as
        \expandafter\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral #1}
which is why the full expansion is not being done.


QUESTION 2::

How do I force the expansion without changing the definition of
\@Roman? Can I say something like
        \typeout{\expand\thechapter}
so that \thechapter is correctly expanded? I did go thorugh part of
the TeX book (\expandafter, \noexpand, etc.) but couldn't figure out
the solution. (There is no \expand in TeX.)


Thanks for any pointers,
Manas

altnline.sty will probably not work with other style files that involve
changes in the output routine.  The problem is that the stored \output
is only used part of the time.  In cases where both style files are
desired simultaneously the same technique used for altnline.sty can
perhaps be used to duplicate the effect of the other style file within
the else part of the final section (\output=) so that both cases result
in the desired output.

What I'm looking for is a simple command, as I don't want to modify

Im using NeXTTeX under NeXTstep 3.0.

If you know a fixed width for all the items, you can use  \hbox:
\begin{description}
\item [\hbox to 2in {this}] Description
\item [\hbox to 2in {is}] Description
\item [\hbox to 2in {etc.}] Description
\end{description}

Hello there,

I am looking for phone numbers of major TeX/LaTeX vendors, such as
Arbortex, PTI's PCTEX, etc.  I would appreciate you info. Thanks
in advance.

Somebody ("ljensen@plains", no more address details 
were given) had asked how to set his editor for emTeX, 
or something similar...

I tried to reply by e-mail, but since his e-mail
address is not complete, of course, my message
bounced... :-(

Anyways, I hope that this person is reading the news,
and here I've added my original message that bounced

================= mail that bounced ==================

I think the best solution to your problem/request is
the TeXShell which has been made for emTeX.  This
shell allows you to jump from one job to another, to 
set your own editor, etc.  It has been made by J"urgen 
Schlegelmilch (sp?) of the Tech. Univ. of Clausthal 
(Germany).  The most recent release is ver. 2.51 and 
can be found at the ftp-site:

      129.69.1.12

(this is in Stuttgart, if I'm not wrong), at the
directory:

      soft/tex/machines/pc/emtex/texshell

In case you can not locate this directory (you
see, I can not remember well such long directory
names ....:-( ), use an "archie" to locate the 
"TS251.ZIP".

I hope this will help a bit!

Happy New Year!

Dimitrios the non-TeXnician :-)

Subject: Forcing two figures on the same page
Organization: Smith College, Northampton, MA, US

I have two LaTeX figures following one another in my text (see below), 
and I would like them to appear on the same page.  They are small 
enough to fit nicely together.  I would prefer not to make them a
single figure.  How can I group them so that they do not get split 
across a page? I tried surrounding them with \mbox{}, and with 
\begin{minipage}...\end{minipage}, but both give 
"! Not in outer par mode." errors.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

	\begin{figure} 
		... 
	\caption{1}
	\end{figure}
	\begin{figure} 
		... 
	\caption{2}

I have a question: When I run Latex (ie Emtex) I try
to input a tex file using the MSDOS-path structure
ie \input{c:\directory\filename}
but latex dont like to see the \ of the path. How can
I input the file whie specifying its path ?
