If you don't mind some very confusing constructs:

AND:
    \ifnum 0\if\a\b \else 1\fi \if\a\c \else 1\fi=0 ...
            -------            -------  
OR: 
    \ifnum 0\if\a\b 1\fi \if\a\c 1\fi >0 ...
            -------      -------
EOR: 
    \ifnum \if\a\b -\fi \if\a\c -\fi 1<0 ...
           -------      -------

In these, the underlined parts are the tests to be ANDed or ORed.  They
end with a space after the 0.  They can be extended to combining more than
two tests at a time ( a or b or c or d ).

So for the example:  if (a=b and a=c) or a=d then

\ifnum 0% for the outer "or", the next line is the first test, the inner "and"
  \ifnum 0\if\a\b \else 1\fi \if\a\c \else 1\fi=0 % note space at end
\else 1\fi 
  \if\a\d % the second test of the OR, simply compare a and d
1\fi >0 % another trailing space

You could make macros \Land, \Lor to hide the mess, but they could not be 
skipped in conditional text unless there were equal ifs and fis visible.

No argument about that. Does anyone understand the pre-history of this?
In general, TeX82 does more things by expansion than TeX78 did: for example,
conditionals were moved from the stomach to the mouth in TeX82 version 0.8
(change #45 in tex82.bug). Why did \uppercase and \lowercase get left as
mode-indepedent commands?

There is a design constraint in TeX that expansion mustn't have certain
side-effects (in particular, it mustn't alter anything in the |eqtb| array).
(In METAFONT, by the way, there is no such constraint: expanding a token can
cause almost anything to happen.) But there would seem to be no problem with
\uppercase and \lowercase in this respect.

Hi,

A colleague of mine is writing some papers on a language tutoring system
for Chinese students learning English.  She wants to be able to write her
paper in English and include some Chinese characters in the middle of her
normal text.  We already have a utility to convert print the Chinese
characters into straght postscript, but this is of no use for Latex
documents.  Does anyone have any Chinese font files suitable for use with
Latex and details of how we might use them?

Many thanks,

Nigel.

You might be a victim of the following (already corrected) problem,

a page is encountered when producing two-column output, that figure and
all subsequent ones are never printed.  (Reported 13 Mar 91 by David

I'm having trouble getting a friend set up with TeXtures, AMSFonts 2.1,
and LamSTeX on his Mac IIcx (running System 7).  This problem
seems to be with AMSFonts.

We are at our wits end on this one.  I am corresponding with him
via email, and have resorted to removing TeX entirely from my MacIIcx
(also running System 7) and reinstalling TeXtures (v 3.141),
AMSFonts 2.1, and LamSTeX (v. 2.01).  It works for me, but not for him.
When he tries to typeset a document using the Plain format, he
gets an error.  I've included the log file below.  We'd appreciate
any suggestions.

The problem appears to be that TeX can't find the metric for dummy.
It's my impression that this metric is contained in AMSFonts 2.1
Metrics, which we have.

   Yes. The problem is that the delimiters are constructed to be
   symmetric above and below the math axis. Putting the array in a
   \vtop  causes the math axis of the whole matrix to be in the top
   row.  This is correct for aligning the two matrices at their
   top rows, but not for the variable delimiters.

   The following macro works by putting the array in a  \vtop, then
   unboxing it into a  \vcenter  with the parenthesis and spacing
   added.  This is done inside math mode with  \displaystyle  set,
   inside an  \hbox  inside a  \vbox  to the height of the original
   \vtop. This worked in simple examples, but can probably be
   defeated by more complicated ones.  Two successive  \tpmatrix's
   will align at their first rows.

......
[plain tex macro deleted]

LaTeX users can get matrices with any kind of delimiters aligned at
the top or bottom by going

\begin{array}[t]({...})   %  ( ) aligned on top row

\begin{array}[b]\{{...}\}   %  { } aligned on bottom row

etc

This mechanism is defined in delarray.sty part of Frank Mittelbach's
ARRAY package. available from all good servers. (Frank isn't to blame
for delarray.sty though :-)

PS: if you are using my newarray.sty, which used to offer this feature,
please throw it array, and get the new ARRAY package instead.

Photocopy it? 

Seriously, doesn't every table of contents look interesting?
Not to mention backside blurb, which I know from experience
is not written by the author. I have quite a collection of
TeX books on my shelf (does anyone know A Guide To LaTeX
by Helmut Kopka and Patrick Daly? just out) and from their
backcover blurb each and every one is the ultimate TeX book.

How so?  LaTeX doesn't really care what the actual font is that \em
uses.  `Giving a font a slant' requires running off a special version
of the font using Metafont.  If you don't want that font to actually
look different, why not just \let\em\relax ?

Yes. In the TeXbook in Appendix D there is given a macro which
accepts a token list and reads each token one by one, and checks to see if
it is an asterix. You could modify the code to read each token,
check to see if it is \end and then, if not, replace the token
and emit a space. Part of the trick is to say

{...\let\next= }
              ^
The space is important since, in an assignment, at most one
space is ignored after the equal sign and so this procedure will
not ignore spaces. Here are two possibilities with apparently identical
effects (at least in the simple test), but different syntax.

\def\wider{\afterassignment\processthetoken\let\next= }
\def\processthetoken{\ifx\next\endwider\let\next=\relax % do nothing
                     \else\next\space                 % emit token+space
                     \let\next=\wider\fi                %
                     \next}                             % repeat
Test it here:

\hbox{\wider     WIDER and W I D E R and W \ I \ D \ E \ R \
      \endwider :widened text}
\hbox{ WIDER and W I D E R and W \ I \ D \ E \ R \ :unwidened text}

Another try:
\def\wider#1{\getwider#1\endwider}
\def\getwider{\afterassignment\processthetoken\let\next= }
\def\processthetoken{\ifx\next\endwider\let\next=\relax % do nothing
                     \else\next\space                 % emit token+space
                     \let\next=\getwider\fi             %
                     \next}                             % repeat

between passes on a given line; so the output text looks like:
This is line 1   [ every 'odd dot' ]
This is line 1   [ every 'even dot', I assume]

This is line 2
This is line 2

 and so forth. I've tried fiddling with the lqh.dot file, but I
don't really understand what's going on well enough to do much more
than fiddle, and trying the /s+ or /s- switches gets me nowhere.

 (I've set the relevant dip switch to the right place; as far as I
can tell, it's not the printer itself, as printing using the lql
driver and 'shrinking' the fonts to 180x180 works fine -- it's just
that, having spent all that time building the 360x360 fonts, I hate
to waste all that effort -- and, I suppose, the quality will be
lower.)

 Thanks in advance.

Subject: Q: dvi2tek - tektronics emulation dvi-display wanted
Organization: Point of Presence & MCS Hamburg

Hello,

I need a dvi2tek which can display a dvi-file on a tektronics-emulating
terminal - a plessy pt-100g which cannot use x-protocol-graphics, but
display tek-graphics with 1024x768 monochrome...


I would be very (!) grateful if any hints or ftp-places could be named ;-)

eMail is welcome.

Subject: dvips5.47 + VMS 6.0 = problems
Organization: University of Texas @ Austin

I have a problem with the upgrade of the VMS system to 6.0 using dvips.
The problem is rather 'basic', but the local administrators cannot fix it.

Using the simplest latex file, i.e. repeat the word 'text' enough times to fill 
two pages, it is impossible to run it, that is it dump the core, or something 
like this. 

The reason I am posting this here, is to see if another administrator had a 
similar problem, or if there are the authors of the 5.47 version, or the vms 6.0
version monitoring this newsgroup.

If there is another newsgroup that this should be posted, please advise me so.

Thanks, 
Constantin

P.S. Of course, the new upgrade(downgrade?) problems don't end here, but 
continue to bibtex. But I 'll give my administration a chance on it first.

Subject: two questions: resumes and dvitdvu

Hi dear netters,

I have two questions for you.  
1-  Is there a special format in Latex or Tex for resumes?  I know and
use the letter format in latex.  I was wondering if something like that
exist for resumes.  If not, can a kind soul send me a copy of his/her 
file so that I can just fill in the blanks and come up with a resume?

2-  I use a vt330 Dec terminal.  I would like to view dvi files on my
terminal.  The system I am using is UNIX.  I know there is something
called dvitvdu on my VAX station and I have used it and it works fine.
Is there something similar for UNIX systems?  If yes, please let me know
how I can get my hands on one, ie, ftp it from the site.

I would really appreciate any replies by direct email as I don't follow
this newsgroup regularly. 

regards,
Ali
