I never have seen one.  BTW, when did Borland acquire Brief?  Last I
heard, it was owned by Solution Systems, previously Underware, of
course.  Incidentally, Brief still is my favorite DOS editor.  Of
course now, I use Emacs since I am running Unix instead of DOS.

Hi TeXers,
I wanted to print a normal hyphen in a complex math formula. I even tried

edefhm{-}

outside math but in all my attemts I got math minus instead. Can someone
help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

What kind of TeXbook do you have?

Dear Tex Experts,

   I am a new user of latex and the rest of the package, particularly
BibTex.  In the old days when I was hooked on Troff and its side products,
I used a program called `addbib' to create bibliographical data basis.
This program was an interactive program that asked for author, journal,
page number, etc.  It then created a file with approriate field indicator
(eg.\author{}) inserted with each category. Now my question:

IS THERE AN INTERACTIVE PROGRAM THAT CREATES A BIBLIOGRAPHY FILE
USABLE BY BIBTEX THAT I MAY GET FROM SOME FTP CITE?

Would you be kind to 
respond to this account or send email to ramezani@macc.wisc.edu

I thank you in advance.  

Cyrus.

P.S. please send email to me as I don't read this group often.

If you ever get a message from Textures' TeX engine that the main memory
has been exceeded, you should give the Textures application a bigger heap,
and try again. Increasing the heap in steps of 500kb is a good strategy.
If you need help in increasing the heap of an application, consult you user
documentation, or:

1. In Finder, select the application, then do Get Info...

2. Tab once to the Current Size text field. Retype the value to be bigger by
   500kb.

3. Close the Get Info window, then relaunch the application.

Good Luck.

[I am in the midst of writing my thesis, when I find the bad news that
all our machines will go down on Tuesday for quite some time. I want
to move all my files to my PC, and continue writing there.]

What is the best version of Latex available for the PC? All I need is
latex and some kind of dvi previewer (hopefully usable with Windows),
even as basic as dvi2tty. I need it for a short time only, so I can
live without bibtex and the other goodies one uses while writing a
dissertation. I don't have a printer, and do not need dvi2ps, etc.

I have heard of something called PCTEX from a friend at Stanford, but
I don't know if it has any dvi previewers. I also read the
comp.text.tex faq, and looked at sbtex, but am not sure if it will
serve my needs. I haven't looked at EmTex as yet.

Please give me pointers on which option to follow. Since it is only
for a short time, I would like something that is easy to use and
doesn't use too much space. If you can suggest a nice DVI previewer,
I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
Manas

I've used Angus Duggan's pbmtopk for the crest of the UK TeX Archive.
There's also Friehelm Sowa's bm2font, which I haven't used.

Both pbmtopk and bm2font are in the UK TeX Archive, and probably other
archives in the US.  Try niord.shsu.edu and ymir.claremont.edu first.
If you can't find them there, use gopher, if you have it, to
ftp.tex.ac.uk, port 70, and choose topic "Indexed FTP of UK TeX
Archive" to search the archive using keywords pbmtopk and bm2font.

For anonymous ftp, pbmtopk can be found on ftp.tex.ac.uk in
/pub/archive/graphics/pbmtopk/ while bm2font is in
/pub/archive/graphics/bm2font/

pbmtopk takes PBM (Portable BitMap) format files, which you can create
using Jeff Poskanzer's freely-available PBM package from a variety of
input formats: GIF, TIFF, X bitmap, Macpaint... etc.

 My installation is about 7.2MB, but I have installed only the low resolution
 fonts (which can be used for the previewer, too) und deleted some docs

Surprisingly (to me), even the explicit character selection ${\rm\char45}$
doesn't work since \char45 in most contexts is equivalent to a -.

My original answer ({\rm-}) was wrong. I didn't understand the significance
of the \mathcode  and assumed wrongly that an explicit font selection
would override it. The following DOES work and IS simple and CHANGES size
automatically in sub/superscripts:

\mathchardef\hyphen=45  % Note: 45="002D. I use decimal as least likely to
                        % be garbled by the mail.
Example use:
$x\hyphen y \ \ A^{x\hyphen y}$

The meaning of \mathchardef\hyphen="002D is that the character in position
"25='55=45 is taken from family 0 (the second 0) and the character
is treated as an Ordinary symbol (the first 0). Family 0 is the
roman family and in generic TeX systems this will be cmr10, plus cmr7
for subscripts and cmr5 for subsubscripts. Your system may vary as to
the roman fonts and the position of the hyphen therein.

Did you read that (from EMTEX386.DOC) -- RTFM:

  - If you're using a program (like 386max) which runs DOS in virtual mode,
    you should configure that program to provide expanded memory (EMS),
    *not* extended memory (XMS)

As far as I know suplies QEMM automtically both: EMS and XMS

!My question: is there an easier/better way to do this?

yes, try this:

\input ptsize% the point size changing macros from the TeXbook

This is a test of hypen in math 10pt.
$$
a + b - c \hbox{\rm -} d = 0
$$

\twelvepoint

This is a test of hypen in math 12pt.
$$
a + b - c \hbox{\rm -} d = 0
$$

\eightpoint

This is a test of hypen in math 8pt.
$$
a + b - c \hbox{\rm -} d = 0
$$

Now let's try a subscript

\tenpoint

This is a test of hypen in math 10pt with subscript
$$
a + b - c \hbox{\rm -} d_{a - b\hbox{-}c} = 0
$$

This is a test of hypen in math 10pt with subscript fixed up
$$
a + b - c \hbox{\rm -} d_{a - b\hbox{\sevenrm -}c} = 0
$$


\bye

The Mainz distribution contains verbatim.sty and vrbinput.sty for use with
LaTeX. These styles handle verbatim environments and verbatim files and
moreover enable easy hook so that those environment will do anything you
know how to ask TeX for it. However, binary files have probably to be
preprocessed by some other program.

That won't work. The best approach would be to use \mathchar to
get the character. See the TeXbook chapter 17 for details.
