Hunter Goatley kindly forwarded the DVIPS 5.495 distribution for VMS to me
a while back (thanks, Hunter!!) which I have been remiss in announcing and
getting a new description file for -- sorry.  It includes the precompiled
VMS executable, as well as the DVIPS library distribution (tfm and vf
files) released with DVIPS 5.493 (which is stable through 5.495). 
Everything is there for VMS (object files, executables, sources, DCL
command file to make it with your local conditions if they vary from those
in the command file, and the CLD file to make DVIPS a comand verb in DCL).

To retrieve the full set (17 part distribution of a UUENCODEd ZIP archive
of DVIPS 5.495 and 10 part distribution of a UUENCODEd ZIP archive of
DVIPS5493LIB -- 27 parts in all), include:
 SENDME DVIPS5495
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
If you just want DVIPS, include:
 SENDME DVIPS5495.UUE*
and if you just want DVIPSLIB, include:
 SENDME DVIPS5495.5493LIB*
in your mail to FILESERV.  The ZIP files are available for anonymous ftp
retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in [FILESERV.DVIPS5495].

If you are upgrading from a prior version, BE SURE that the new *.PRO files
get into the TEX_POSTSCRIPT directory (where I had trouble and Hunter
reported he had trouble originally when I told him I was having trouble).

I am running on a different system, so I am not sure how what I am going to
say translates, but I think that dvips wants the `.300pk' files. Try moving those
into the directory listed in PKPATH or adding the directory in which those files
reside to PKPATH. On my system dvips ignored everything that I told it, including
TEXFONTS and XDVIFONTS (the path variables that told the machine where to look)
until I gave it a path named TEXPKS with `.300pk' files. It seems that your
machine wants those in the directory specified by PKPATH.

You run 
	INITEX splain, 
and make sure that the font definition file 
sfonts.tex and latex.tex are in a place where TeX can find them.

(Some implementations differ from this though: Sometimes you run Tex/I;
with Textures on my Mac I just have toopen splain.tex and click Typeset.)

Subject: Big LaTeX/TeX for the Mac
Summary: A bigLaTeX for the Mac
Keywords: LaTeX Mac Large
Organization: Dept. of Maths, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1993 03:16:34 GMT

A bigLaTeX for the Mac is available
from ftp.maths.tcd.ie in pub/Mac/TeX .
This is a "vanilla" port of Unix-TeX,
with no sophisticated features.
However, the sizes of large arrays
are read in at run-time 
from the file "TeX Preferences"
in the Preference folder.

This is bigLaTeX.readme

============================================

BigLaTeX
========

This version of bigLaTeX allows the sizes of large arrays
to be determined at run time,
by reading from the file "TeX Preferences"
in the Preference folder (in the System folder in v7).

A sample Preference file is given as TeX.Preferences ,
from which it will be seen that 
the following array sizes may be set:
memtop, memmax, maxstrings, poolsize, bufsize,
fontmax, fontmemsize, savesize, stacksize,
dvibufsize, triesize, trieopsize.

In addition the whereabouts of the various parts of TeX,
TEXINPUTS, etc, may be set in the same file TeX Preferences.
(The format will be clear from the sample Preference file.)


Notes:

(1) iniTeX (or biginiTeX) must be run
with memmax = memtop.
LaTeX (or bigLaTeX) may have memmax > memtop.

(2) If any of the sizes except memmax is changed,
iniTeX (or biginiTeX) must be re-run,
and a new format file created.

(3) If the sizes of arrays are increased,
the amount of space allocated to the program
may have to be increased
(by going to the Get Info item in the File index).

(4) The application bigLaTeX may be re-named bigTeX.
It will look for a format file 
with the same base-name as itself
(ie LaTeX will look for LaTeX.fmt).

(5) tex.pool is packed with biginiTeX .
TeX Preferences is packed with bigLaTeX .

(6) The programs are based closely
(as closely as possible)
on the official Unix TeX distribution.
The change files will shortly be placed in the directory
pub/Mac/TeX/src-5.851c (or its subdirectories).

Yes, I am sure that it is there.

For most of the world, math.utexas.edu = 128.83.133.215. 

The IP address you got (128.96.41.1) = thumper.bellcore.com, one of your

I was somewhat hasty - it occurred to only after leaving the terminal that I
forgot zeroes for small remainders.
Your addition is, of course, just what is needed.
But may I suggest to replace
   Theb just by
   ifnumb<100 0ifnumb<10 0fifitheb
it seems to slightly more efficient (you need not check for b=0
because then theb will produce one 0) and slightly shorter
(I hope I did not introduche a new mistake now!)

I need to know the formula used by TeX to position superscripts and subscripts,
so that I can make my graphing program produce the same spacing.  Let's assume
that I have a single text line, and that no superscripts lie over subscripts, so
that no repositioning will be required to avoid crowding.  Then the questions I
have are: 

1) what distances are the baselines moved to (and in what units?  em-space,
   x-height, ...?).  
2) what change in font size is done?

Email replies would be appreciated; I doubt whether others on the net need to
know this.

PS: Sorry to bug you folks, but I've tried reading the tex.web source, and cannot
figure it out.

No, what is meant is that 

      1 You can't alter Textures' memory use (which is not an issue in
	Textures since, if you run out of memory in Textures, there's not more
	memory to get).

      2 You can't alter Textures' default paths, which is an issue, but not
	a big one since if you want to keep styles in separate folders
	you can always drop an alias in the TeX inputs folder.

How about '-p 3.1' for the 2nd occurance of page 3?  Once again, that 
works on my version, and I guess mileage will vary with others.  Sorry

?? Perhapy you mean tex font metric files (files ending with .tfm). Printer
drivers will not use the format files (files created by initex and ending
with .fmt).

I've used sb34tex.  What dvi drivers have you tried?  I am certain that
Gustaf Neumann's dvi2xx works, and so do the drivers from the emTeX package.
Get dvi2xx at simtel20; get the emTeX stuff at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in 
pub/os2/all/unix/tex/. (I have assumed that you wish to go to an HP Laserjet.
Get the emTeX drivers if it is dot-matrix; get Rokicki's dvips if it is
Postscript.)

Finally, are you sure that the drivers you tested even look at tfm files?
It is true that some drivers permit the use of characters from one font
while it gets sizes from some other tfm file (used when the correct font is
not available).

Hello there [La]Tex users.  I am in need of an nroff or
troff to Latex converting program.  Anyone know where I
can get one.  I've been looking on wuarchive but
have not had much success.

Thanks in advance.

In the style file that you are using find the line
  \def\fnum@figure{\figurename{} \thefigure} 
and replace it by
  \def\fnum@figure{{\bf \figurename{} \thefigure}}

This will make the "Figure.X" bold but not the following text.
