dear peter

as a (very new) beginner to TeX I am trying to coordinate TeX on several
systems at Leicester - the systems are

Macintosh       - OzTeX
IBM PC clones   - EmTeX
Sun - the standard system
Silicon Graphics - pass on this one, but I guess the standard unix system

we are trying to standardize on a dvi to ps program, which is ``best''

out of

dvi2ps
dvitps
dvitops
dvips

have I missed any? are any of these regarded as ``standard''.
to help, I would like to be able to use don wards changebar system
and seminar.sty?

your advice would be considered helpful

many thanks

there are other drivers which may or may not be better (like some of
the commercial ones), but the only choice of the ones you refer to is
dvips, because it is the only one which supports virtual fonts, which
(IMHO) should be regarded as a pre-requisite of a `real' driver.
dvitops is excellent, but James Clark isn't developing it, so far as I
know, and dvitps is so unixy its not true. dvi2ps is dead and gone.

that leaves you the problem of compiling dvips for the Macs...

These are the document style options I hacked together...  there's
three files: psfont.sty, pstimes.sty and pstimesm.sty.  The latter
loads the Mathtime fonts.  You may need to do some hackery to the
line:

   \load@ps@font{times}
      {ptmr}{ptmri}{ptmro}{ptmrc}{ptmb}{ptmbi}{ptmbo}{ptmbc}{}{}

depending on which Times Roman fonts you have installed, and what
you've called them.

Subject: \@texttop

        [In a recent UKTeX, writing about writing a LaTeX letter that controls
        where on the page things will lie, Brian Hamilton Kelly writes:]
        It's easy enough, *once* one realizes that, for some reason perhaps
        lost in the mists of time, the style defines

        \def\@texttop{\ifnum \c@page=\@ne \vskip 0pt plus 0.00006fil\relax
        \fi}

        Don't ask me why on earth anyone should ever want to do this, but it
        has the effect of making the starting point of page one (which will be
        that bearing the address) to float up and down the page, depending
        upon how well filled it is made: this makes any attempt to fix the
        position of printing the address somewhat tricky!

When I developed a local letter variant, I ran into the same problem.  I
determined the explanation for the odd definition, and worked around it as
follows:

% The letter style sets \@texttop to \vskip 0pt plus .00006fil on
% the first page of a letter, which (more or less) centers a short letter on
% the page.  (It interacts with the .0001fil in \@textbottom for raggedbottom
% pages.)
%
% We don't want the centering effect to take place for multi-page letters, as
% it prevents the top lines of pages from being aligned.  So we disable it in
% the opening and enable it in the closing; hence it will only apply to one-
% page letters.  (If a letter is just long enough, the first page may be writ-
% ten out before we can change \@texttop; but then it didn't need centering in
% any case!)
\def\opening#1{\thispagestyle{firstpage}{\raggedleft\@date\par}%
 \vspace{2\parskip}%
 {\raggedright \toname \\ \toaddress \par}\vspace{2\parskip}%
 #1\par\nobreak\let\@texttop\relax}

       \else \fromsig \fi\strut}%
   \par
   \def\@texttop{\ifnum\c@page=1\vskip 0pt plus .00006fil\relax\fi}%
}

% Subject: HyperTeX?
% 
% Does anyone know of any package for doing hypertext with mathematics embedded
% in it? On the reasonable assumption that this would have to be TeX-based, I 
% guess it would be a fairly easy extension of a DVI previewer to build in a fe
w
% hypertext features. 
% 
% For instance, it could be implemented with commands such as
% \special{em:label xyz}
% and
% \special{em:goto xyz}
% (in an emTeX version say), and a mechanism provided to display, move around
% and select the buttons. This would give a modest implementation allowing the
% user to move round a single document. Add a stack and a <backspace> facility
% and it would increase in usefulness. 
% 
% Another possibility would be to allow the goto instruction to branch to 
% a new file. ( Files could easily be implemented on a screen-per-page basis. )
% 
% How would you tell the previewer how big to draw the button? I suppose that
% right-overlapping a fixed-size bar would be one simple solution. Otherwise,
% could the previewer invert the next contiguous bit of text? Or could LaTeX
% pass back the width, height and depth of the button through its .AUX file?

% Mike Piff

Yes, try DVIWindo from Y&Y.  It has hypertext linkage.  You can specify in
the `button' \special how big to make the button and where to put it.
Linkage is possible to pages in the same file or to another DVI file.  
There are `button' \special's that define sensitive button areas and 
`mark' \special's that define `mark's --- places to go to (with screen
positioning information).

DVIWindo also has support for previews in EPSF and EPSI files, as well as
\specials for insertion of TIFF images.  It's neat to be able to click on a
photo of a person, only to be taken to a biography of same, or click on a
defined word and go to the glossary where it is explained.  Also a wonderful
way to write a manual.  Together with the string search capability in
DVIWindo, this is a much better of way of navigating around documents than
using an index (I know of at least one famous book, the index of which
drives me bananas - can you guess?)

this is best answered from the Frequently Asked Questions:

@question{FAQ 1: Where can I get a DVI to PostScript conversion program?

   There are two programs that compile on a wide variety of computers
   and operating systems:

     dvips - by Tomas Rokicki. This driver is very nice and
       has the ability to deal with virtual fonts. 
           [tex-archive.drivers.dvi2ps.dvips]

       Original FTP site is labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47)

       A precompiled version for MSDOS is available as boo-encoded ZIP
       archive in
         [tex-archive.tex.ms-dos.emtex.bonus]dvips.boo

     dvitops - by James Clark.
        Dvitops will compile under Unix, MSDOS, VMS, and Primos. in
          [tex-archive.drivers.dvi2ps.dvitops]

EXTRA
             dvitps - part of the TeXPS package by Stephan Bectolsheim.
       Available via anonymous ftp from arthur.cs.purdue.edu
       (128.10.2.1) in ./pub/TeXPS.

It is a long time since I used dvilaser/ps. I am willing to be told it
has better features than dvips, but no-one has ever come up with one
for me. On the other hand, dvips has at least one feature - dynamic
creation of fonts - that dvilaser/ps doesn't have (so far as I know),
and there may be others.  so since its silly summer time, could Phil
come out into the open and rationally defend the Arbortext offering
against dvips on grounds of
 - features
 - speed (not so important, usually)
 - well-behaved PS output (with examples, pliz!)

you have two choices:
 a) get a copy of the Unix TeX distribution tape -- see any recentc
    copy of  the UK TeX digest for details (if you dont receive it,
    ftp a copy from [tex-archive.digests.uktex] on uk.ac.tex. this
    will give you a complete set of material; personally, I am not
    100% happy with this, because its slightly out of date, and I dont
    like all the choices. but it will work fine

 b) get the bits separately. the TeX and Metafont sources are 
     WEB-5851C.TARZ_UUE                    
     WEB2C-5851C.TARZ_UUE

   in [tex-archive.src.unix-archives]. these are uuencoded compressed
   tar archives. unpack and follow the instructions. other things
   you'll need (previewers, drivers etc) can also be found in Unix
   archives in that directory

it depends on how comfortable you are with TeX already, or whether you
are a total beginner.

the third alternative is
  c) pay someone to install a complete, working up, to date TeX world on
     your machines. among others, I offer this service (allow for a
     day on site making sure it all works as you want). but i cant
     advertise here :-}

Subject: Letter addresses for envelopes with windows

John Rostron, Brian Hamilton Kelly and Dave Love write about styles for 
placing the to-address for a letter in a suitable place for an envelope
with a window.

For about two years my colleagues have been using a letterhead style 
written by me which is capable of doing exactly that. However, there are snags.
 

The most obvious one is that there need not be enough room on the top third
of the first page to fit a window into, once a letterhead has been 
printed, or space for one has been created. 

The next is that the length of an institution's address is inversely related to
its stature, and so a letter to a minor institution will generate enough
to-address to fill the first half of the page.

There is also the placement of the address. I have an option to place it
top or bottom page, as secretaries/institutions vary in their preferences.
However, if the practice is to place it at the bottom of the *final* page,
even fold marks will not help much!

One administrative job I do is to mail-merge students' results letters.
This involves tabular environments with a merge of a variable number of
results lines, and, for a failure, also an additional table of resit papers.
Invariably the pass letters can be printed at our prefered 12pt on a single 
page, including an address in a window. Unfortunately the fail letters just
spread to two pages. Both alternatives of (a) fat fail letters and (b) 10pt
fail letters proved unacceptably cruel. Thus, they were printed with the addres
s
at the bottom of page 1, but too low for an envelope window. When I apologized
to one of the secretaries about this, she replied perkily "Don't worry about
that, we just fold the letters so that the address is in the right place!"
So much for my carefully laid down fold marks!

Has anyone tried hacking the label-producing part of letter.sty so that it
just prints directly onto the envelopes?  This would be a more attractive
solution. I guess that getting the envelope information written out as a
separate LaTeX file would be a more flexible approach, as it is not possible
for us people without postscript to switch between portrait and landscape
mode without exiting our printer driver, not with dvihplj anyway. Perhaps
I will have a go at this when I have time.

On Brian's point about \@texttop, I must be missing the point here, as I fail
to see the reason for balancing the letter this way. In response to another
query a few months ago about placing a letterhead/crest/emblem at the top of
a letter, I mentioned that it seemed easier to let \opening and \closing do
the balancing act, and this appears to give good results although I cannot
claim to have tested it in all conditions; but then I don't know under what
conditions the \@texttop approach fails either. I did discover that a finite
amount of stretch in \opening and \closing worked better than an infinite
amount.

Subject: Letters that print envelopes as well

As mentioned earlier, here is a style option for LaTeX' letter style that
creates a new file envelopes.tex which contains enough information for us to
be able to print the envelopes. First,

%%envelopes.sty, Mike Piff, 1992
\newwrite\env
\immediate\openout\env=envelopes.tex
\immediate\write\env{\string\documentstyle[12pt,envelope]{article}}
\immediate\write\env{\string\begin{document}}
\let\@@letter\letter
\def\letter#1{{\let\\\relax%
   \immediate\write\env{#1}%
   }\@@letter{#1}}
\let\@@endletter\endletter
\def\endletter{%
   \immediate\write\env{\string\clearpage}%
   \@@endletter}
\let\@@enddocument\enddocument
\def\enddocument{%
   \immediate\write\env{\string\end{document}}%
   \@@enddocument
}
\endinput

The LaTeX file with the addresses in it needs its own style option, an example
of which appears below. Customize as necessary.

%%envelopes.sty, Mike Piff, 1992
\oddsidemargin\z@ \evensidemargin\oddsidemargin
\headheight\z@ \headsep\z@
\topmargin2.5in
\textwidth7in
\textheight2in
\parindent\z@
\pagestyle{empty}


Thus, you LaTeX your letter(s) file in the usual way, but one thing it creates
is a file called envelopes.tex. LaTeX this, print the first file on ordinary
paper and the second on envelopes. That probably looks neater than windows
in envelopes.

well, there are various things here. 
 a) output on an epson will require a different set of font libraries;
    those for a laserjet are at a resolution of 300dpi, and i doubt
    your epson has that capability :-}
 b) the emTeX drivers look for fonts in two ways,
      - in font library files (.fli)
      - in single files in directories
    if the first fails, it tries the second. your message indicates
    that both methods have failed. your virgin installation does not
    (correctly) have any single files in directories, as all you need
    should be in the font libraries.
 c) why do you fail to get the font? there are three possibilities
    1 you have not installed the font libraries (.fli files) in the
      right place.
    2 you need a size that was not pre-provided
    3 your specified device has a resolution different from that of
      the laserjet, so emTeX is searching for those. eg if it is
      instructed that a deskjet has a resolution of 200dpi, it won't
      look at the 300 dpi fonts
    4 your configuration is wrong for the printer driver

    if the previewer finds the fonts, but the printer driver does not,
    it *must* be 3 or 4, as the same mechanism for searching is used
    by both. 

if i were on the spot, I'd turn on the verbose options of the driver,
so i could see what it was looking for and what paths it was
searching. you can see how to do this by reading the manual.

the other thing i cannot recall (my emtex is at home) is whether
dvihplj is the right command. i have a feeling there is a .BAT file
which calls it with the right parameters, like prthplj.bat or the
like. look at the command file you used for previewing (v.bat?) and
see if you can find a similar one for printing. look at the parameters
it uses (like @lj.cnf, for instance).

Well, first of all no.  However, we did have a student working on a problem
simular to this for his final year project.  I may attempt to get a number
of students to develop a full system, but that is in the future (and if I
can get a job).

As a result, I have been giving this idea some though.  I was thinking
that we can extend the  seminar  system to include a screen environment (we
can also extend \sref to fill in "slide" or "screen" depending on the
environment).

To provide a HyperText link you would include the command
\hyper{key}{label}.  Thus the system could typeset the text "key" in some
way indicating a button (I would let LaTeX do this, so the viewer system
doesn't have to worry about spacing etc.).  We can then type set the sheet
(absolute screen) number in a special font.  This font would be something
like the AMS dummy font, in that it does not display anything.  The DVI
viewer will pick up this dummy text and use it to locate the required page.

Thus the definition of \hyper would be something like:

\def\hyper#1#2{
        \fbox{ \fbox{#1} }
        {
         \normalsize
         \hyperfont
         \pageref{#2}
        }
}

Although I think we will have to redefine \label to output the sheet number
as well as the logical and page number, thus we will probably have to
totally redefine the hole \label\ref\pageref system as well.

Note also that I currently know of now view system that is capable of
handling this type of thing.  We would have to develop one.

This is Sun OpenWindows-specific, I'm afraid, but I had some success
using a hacked dvips547 to generate PostScript suitable for the
OpenWindows `helpviewer'.  helpviewer provides simple facilities for
hypertext viewing of cooperating PostScript, including links between
files and execution of arbitrary shell commands (so you can have, for
instance, sound as well as graphics :-)).  A LaTeX style file inserted
the link information automatically by emitting \specials for the LaTeX
cross-referencing information.

I think the SeeTeX X-windows previewer has the ability to use embedded
`buttons' to skip between pages, but I've not used it.

Richard Kinch has (Kinch Computer Corporation, America).  $200-00 for the set.
But there are now tools available which would allow you to do it for

I do it every day, using the b) route. the latest beta of xdvi calls
MakeTeXPK for fonts it cannot find, and i have that set up to call
ps2pk if it cannot find a Metafont source. assumes you have the PS
sources, mind you.

the latest xdvi is in the UK TeX archive, as is ps2pk, which has a MakeTeXPK
you can try (I hacked my copy quite a lot).

Kinch's fonts come in a fixed encoding, which probably isn't what you
normally use, and they only have 128 characters (last time I saw
them). you could set up virtual fonts, but its a bother. ps2pk in
conjunction with afm2tfm allows for good variety in encoding.

there are two route to PFB files, other than buying them (gasp!).
 a) use CorelDraw and its WFN fonts. The  WFNBOSS utility will write
    these as PFB. gets you a pretty fair imitation of Palatino for
    previewing. lots of fonts there
 b) use the GhostScript fonts. I haven't gone this route

note that older WFNBOSSes produced bad PFB files. I bought my Corel
last autumn, and got a bad one, but a letter to Corel a few months ago
got me a prompt upgrade disk. Good service those Corel people offer.

there  is, by the way, another choice I forgot in my last note. viz
the fontutils package from the FSF. Karl Berry used  this to build a
large collection of pk files for PS fonts, which I think I put in the
archive in [tex-archive.src.unix-archives].

I have put version 1.3 of cc2tex into
 [tex-archive.langs.chinese.cc2tex]

   cc2tex1.3 has been put into crl.nmsu.edu pub/chinese. 
It is a Unix program written by

# Zhi Biao Wu
# Department of Information System & Computer Science 
# Natural University of Singapore
# Republic of Singapore, 0511

which translates Chinese source into normal LaTeX. Please dont ask me
for details, get the documentation!

I havent put any fonts there; crl.nmsu.edu:pub/chinese/fonts has a
collection of stuff, but I dont know enough about it to decide what to
get

Subject: Harvmac.tex

I have put Harvmac into the UK TeX Archive in

 [tex-archive.tex-style.harvmac]

Sebastian

   Harvmac.tex is a short (15KB) and quite capable macro package written
   by Paul Ginsparg with physics preprints in mind: it can auto-number
   equations, sections, subsections, references, footnotes, etc. For an
   unusual touch, it even quizzes you if you want the normal output
   (portrait), or reduced output (landscape; two pages per physical page).

   While it is neat for its size, you cannot expect much flexibility from
   such a small package. If you don't like EXACTLY the style it offers,
   it may not be for you (unless you are willing to fiddle with the code.)

   There is no manual. A file called harvsamp.tex documents its use, again
   in an extremely condensed manner: you print that file and then compare
   the source-code with the printed output. Doesn't sound possible at
   first, but somehow it works out.

********************
So, here we are again.  The major news for version 6 are:
 
DOCS!   Preliminary documentation is available in the directory
        `doc'.  It isn't very well written, but I believe it covers
        most interesting points.  Comments, suggestions, or even
        rewrites of sections are VERY WELCOME...
 
        LaCheck has been incorporated in the package.  The source
        code for it is available in the directory `lacheck' along
        with the documentation for it.  Lacheck may also be used 
        from the command line.  In Emacs is it bound to C-c $.
 
        Some minor changes in:
 
          TeX-region:  Should work better with `Master:' option
 
          LaTeX-environment:  Numerous new hooks added by Masayuki
                              Kuwada (hope I spelled it correctly)
 
        And some additional minor fixes...
          - keep them coming in!

Next, I will encourage you to supply notes for a `PROBLEMS' file.  If
you have any notes that may be of general interest, please mail me
directly with the subject containing the sequence AUC-TeX-problems.
Such emails will then be extracted automatically and stored in a
PROBLEMS file.

From:    SYSTEM@uk.ac.tex
Subject: Interruption and rearrangement of service

I shall be installing an evaluation copy of MultiNet on TeX.ac.uk on the
afternoon of 24th July, thanks to the good offices of Unipalm Ltd.  If it
proves successful, it will replace the existing combination of DEC's somewhat
flaky UCX product and Matt Madison's CRUX, which supports anonymous ftp on this
host.

This will cause some disruption to service:

1) It obviously will not be possible to telnet or ftp to this node over the
Internet until after the new system is properly configured
2) Neither will it be possible to access the archive over dial-up lines to
021-359 8291; this is because that number connects to Project Accent, which
effects connection to TeX.ac.uk by means of Telnet

If MultiNet proves unsuccessful (which, having read the documentation, I in no
manner anticipate happening), it will be necessary to revert to the old
UCX/CRUX combination, which will again cause some disruption
