The file chappg.sty does this.  It is rather short, so I am including it in
this post.  You can also retrieve it from FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET
(FILESERV@SHSU.edu) by including SENDME STY.CHAPPG in a mail message to it. 

While our holdings are not comprehensive, you can get an annotated listing
of styles available on FILESERV by including the command LIST STY in a mail
message to it.  If you want to add a style to our collection, contact me
and we can arrange it.

Hi TeXNetters,

I am writing a rather long document in the {report} style. Can anybody
point me how to number the pages with the chapter number as a suffix and
resetting the page counter at each chapter?
That is n-m, where n is the chapter number and m starts from 1 at each
chapter.

Well, I think this is a FAQ..., or at least should be.

I am having trouble getting the '\theindex' command to work
correctly. 

I have headers set up which print chapters and sections,
respectively, together with the page number. However, for
the index headers and sections just stay unchanged from the
previous chapter.

I looked into the code of \theindex, and it does have a
\@mkboth which I assume sets the headings. Nevertheless, all
my index pages have the reader "references" (since that is
the chapter that happens to be before the index).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Thomas.

Hi netters, 

I have some problems as follows (using latex 3.1) 

(1) I tried to make list of figures with \listoffigures command and
gave captions in my figure environments but latex just prints the
heading of 'Figures' but does not list them and shows blank space.
Also, are the captions only for generating list of figures or do they
appear in the figures also (I don't want them in figures since I have
already written the names and numbers of the figures in the figures).

(2) I have first few pagenumbers in roman (about 7) and I want to suppress
the display of pagenumbers upto pg. 4 and want them to appear from
pg. 'IV' onwards. How do I do that ? 

(3) I am using 'report' documentstyle. The chapter titles print left
justified and I have to print the them in center. I tried using \center
and \centering envs. but to no avail. Any solution.

(4) Currently my pagenumbers appear at the bottom-center of each page.
However, I have to get the pagenumber of the first  page of each chapter
on the top right. How to do that.

I have to submit my report soon and I have recently started doing latex.

Any help is appreciated. Please email if you could, I will summarize.

Dear Netters,

Are there any useres of the shell
            eps2tex
around. We want to use it to include postscript files in
Latex (well, I know all these procedures work actually
the other way round like psfig , they all end up with
a postscript file and not with a dvi file. Anyway , a program
converting postscript into tex will not be available
soon , if at all, i guess).
So we tried  eps2tex by Philippe Lacroute (don't know
his Email address) and could not fix one problem :

The figures and the text are turned into their REFLECTED IMAGE.

We got the files via ftp from :
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)
/netlib/matlab/tools     eps2tex.shar.Z
or from

research.att.com (192.20.225.2)

Is their any kind soul around with a solution or some hints ?

Now, I know that Blue Sky Research did not intend Lightning TeXtures

(For those of you who havent' heard of LT: it is a very fast -- assembler ! --
implementation of TeX that continually reformats your input and displays
this in the preview window. Every time you press a key, I think.)

When I heard about this, I thought ``Ho hum. Nice for wysiwyg types.''
But when I tried it lately I found that it is terribly useful for
testing out macros and parameter changes. It is strange how
a simple speedup in the turnaround cycle (ofabout a factor

Oh well. Just thought I'd be enthousiastic for a second ...

What can I do about this ?

I don't think so, dvi2ps do not completely conform with the PS structure
convention, at least so can't ghostscript make out where pages ends and begins.
If you have a printer that does print on both sides, and have a good 
postscript interpreter, then there is a PS command called duplex, you may 
try to do a \special{duplex} in the begining of the tex file, or modify
dvi2ps or dvips prolog file directly. It should also be possible to 
modify the prolog files so that only even or odd pages are printed, I don't 
know enough about PS to do it myself but if there is a PS guru out there.....

Somebody asked me what the parameter "-oucm" does.  It sets up the
unit of measurement to be in centimetres.  If you prefer a more
archaic system, you can put "-ouin" instead.  Actually, you needn't
put any of these parameters in the command line, as they can also be
specified in the lj.cnf file.

   When I include a large postscript file TeX (LaTeX) complains . . .

   Unable to read an entire line---bufsize=3000
   Please ask a wizard to enlarge me.

   What need to be done?  As the source was tossed after compilation, to rebuild
   I will need a new copy of the source.  Does the lastest version build with
   a larger buffer?  What's a reasonable size?

This type of problem typically has one of two root causes.  

The first is that the PS file was transferred between platforms WITHOUT using
end-of-line translation. Macintosh for example uses `return' as line
terminator, while PC's use `linefeed+return', while Unix uses `linefeed' etc
So your TeX macros looking for the BBoX comment try to read the whole file
in one gulp.  TeX implementations typically read input using fgets, which
stops only when it gets to a line-terminator.  Usually the input buffer
is 3000 bytes.  You can't fix this by making a `larger' TeX.  Just make sure
the PostScript file is broken into lines using whatever line terminator your
machine believes in...

The second common reason (well much less common actually) for this sort of
problem is that you have an EPSF file with a preview in PICT (Macintosh) or
TIFF (IBM PC) format.  These have binary headers, and if you are unlucky,
the TIFF image precedes the PostScript code, and if you are REALLY 
more unlucky, the header and the TIFF image do not contain a line terminator.
There isn't a whole lot you can do about this other than trying to force the
software that generates the EPSF file to put the TIFF preview AFTER the 
PostScript code.  Or going in and changing random bytes in the preview to
`return' or whatever is needed...

Does anyone know of a way to take 2 or more TeX output files (either
as DVI or `downstream' as HP PCL) and merge them so they'll both (all)
print?  Under OS/2 with emTeX I've tried this the obvious way with the
OS's own utility (COPY).  Merge 2 DVI files and the driver sees only
the first; merge 2 JEP files and the printer sees only the first.

Thanks, Lew
