In response to a reference to a message about "Serbian" (language) I wrote:

I see, so when Serbo-Croat is written in Cyrillic you call  it  Serbian,
when  in  the  Roman alphabet you call it Croat.  Sounds rather silly to
me.  Is English a different language when I use shorthand  to  write  it
down?

The "instructions" referred to (and included) in the message about fonts
were in the ROMAN alphabet - so how could they be in Serbian?  According
to your formulation they were in Croat!

I just was in need of the same thing - printing only every-second-page.
I came out with two awk-scripts that do the neccessary split of the dvips-output.
I dunno if it works with dvi2ps (is it something different?). Here are the 
scripts:


------>8----- even.awk -----------------
BEGIN             {state = 2; pag = 1;}
/%%Pages: /       {$2 = "(atend)"; $3 = "-1"}
/%%Page: /        {if ($2 % 2 == 0) 
				   {
				       state = 0;
					   $3 = pag++;
				   }
				   else
				   {
				   	   if (state)
					       printf("%%%%Page: 0 %d\nbop eop\n", pag++);
				       state = 1;
				   }
				  }
/%%Trailer/       {state = 0}
/./               {if (state != 1) print}
END				  {printf("%%%%Pages: %d -1\n", --pag);}
------->8------ end of even.awk, begin of odd.awk -------------
BEGIN             {state = 0; pag = 1;}
/%%Pages: /       {$2 = "(atend)"; $3 = "-1"}
/%%Page: /        {if ($2 % 2 != 0) 
				   {
				       state = 0;
					   $3 = pag++;
				   }
				   else
				   {
				   	   if (state)
					       printf("%%%%Page: 1 %d\nbop eop\n", pag++);
				       state = 1;
				   }
				  }
/%%Trailer/       {if (state)
					   printf("%%%%Page: 1 %d\nbop eop\n", pag++);
                   state = 0}
/./               {if (state == 0) print}
END				  {printf("%%%%Pages: %d -1\n", --pag);}
---------->8---------- end of odd.awk

These two awk scripts split the postscript code of dvips and even take care
of inserting blank pages if two even or two odd pages directly follow each other.
You may just print one half, then take all the paper (it is supposed that your
printer places paper such that it is ready-to-read, not last-page-first), turn
the whole batch upside-down and reinsert it for printing the other one. You have
to try a little bit to find out which one has to be printed first if you do not
want to revert the paper stack after all is ready.

Just for beginners:

The awk-scripts can be used the following way:

awk -f even.awk dvipsoutput.ps > dvipsoutput.even.ps
awk -f odd.awk dvipsoutput.ps > dvipsoutput.odd.ps

Do whatever you have to to print the resulting postscript files.

I know that there is something better than these minimal awk-scripts, but it
is a perl-script and I haven't got perl but awk. So I just did something.
Since the awk-scripts are pretty simple, it would be possible to convert them
into C-programs or similar for those who don't have awk either.

Subject: TeX basic questions
Summary: two column in TeX, slanted fonts
Date: 23 Jul 92 20:23:18 GMT
Organization: Wharton Marketing

I have two questions, both of which I believe to be fairly simply answered, 
but I can't find the answers in the TeXbook or in anything on the net.

1. How do you define a slanted font based on a normal roman font? I'm using 
dvips, and want to use a slanted version of bookman (9pt) for the slanted 
font. I think this should be a simple modification of the \font command, but 
can't find the commands to use to change the slant, or even to do something 
from the book like make a non-slanted italic font.

2. How do you define a two-column mode in plain TeX (not LaTeX please)? I 
suppose it has something to do with \hsize and \vsize, but don't know any 
more than that. If I'm missing a well-known macro, let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Loren

Subject: Incompatibility problem with new LaTeX
Date: 23 Jul 92 09:38:36 GMT
Organization: Physics Lab, The University, Canterbury, Kent, UK

Our site has recently installed a new version of LaTeX (under UNIX).  
But I've since found that a style file which previously worked like a 
dream now crashes with a strange error message.  

I'm not sufficiently familiar with plain TeX (in which the style file is
written), and not familiar at all with the changes made to LaTeX, to be 
able to even guess at where the problem lies and what to do about it.

Here's what happens...  Starting from scratch, I run LaTeX on my source 
file.  Everything is OK.  I run bibtex to create the bibliography.  
Everything is still OK.  I run LaTeX a second time.  Fine.  I run LaTeX
a third time to get the cross-references right.  It is here that LaTeX
finally crashes with the following error:

  % find the comma and put leading paren in place of it
  \def\@incite#1, #2;{#1 (#2)}

Does this part of natsci.sty need altering to accomodate the changes in
LaTeX?  (If so, how?)  Or does the source of the error lie elsewhere?  

Any help will be appreciated.  

Michael.

|I don't know if there's a version of dvi2ps that does it, but once

I believe Rokicki's dvidvi will separate odd/even pages. Angus Duggan's
psselect from psutils will do this at the PostScript level.

Finally, if you don't care for convention, you could do what I
sometimes do: print half of the pages, then put the paper back in for
the second half. You then read the pages in this sequence: all the
upward facing pages, then flip the entire document over and continue.
I actually find this easier to read than alternating between sides.

I don't know if there's a name for this collating mode, but it reminds
me of the 78 rpm record stacks (for those who are old enough to
remember 78 rpm or even records).

A diagrams package (such as Paul Taylor's) could handle this, though you'd
have to figure out how to make the diamonds and triangles for yourself.
(Paul Taylor's macros, at least, can make lines touch the source and
destination boxes.  This is important to note since most diagrams are
drawn with space around the arrows.)  See the FAQ list for diagram
packages.  Look also at xypic; it might give better results, but I haven't
used it so I don't know.

There is a style file called endnotes.sty, I suppose on the usual

NNTP-Posting-Host: emily3.berkeley.edu

OK TeXperts,  Here's an "easy" question:

I have two Chinese characters "1" and "2" which need to
be printed on the same line (i.e. no line break between
them) and without any space between them (like "12").  
For some reason simply writing "12" wouldn't work because 
TeX still treats "1" and "2" as separate words and breaks 
the line between them.  I try "1~2", and then a space is 
added so that it looks like "1 2", which is not what I 
want.  Is there any way to keep "1" and "2" on the same 
line and without any space between them?

I will summarize if there are enough interests (potentially
it's of interest to those of us who are using TeX/LaTeX to 
print Chinese) and if I receive an answer.

Thanks a lot.

I had the same problem when I first used dvitps.
                        
It seems that the Enviroment variables for the dvitps program
aren't set. So it can't find the fonts. :-(
                        
You can fix it if you set the following variables:
                        
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_GF
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PK
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PDR
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PD
               
The syntax is:

<path_for_PS-Fonts>:.:<path_for_TeX_fonts>

In my installation they are set:

TEXFONTS_DVITPS_GF = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts/gf:.:$TEXPATH/fonts
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PK = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts/pk:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PDR = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"
TEXFONTS_DVITPS = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"

$TEXPATH indicates where TeX is installed.

I hope you can fix the problem now.

We're considering using Electronic Book Technology's Dynatext system
to display online documents (actually training materials).  The Dynatext
system arranges and formats SGML into various presentation styles.  I was
looking for opinions and/or comments from anyone who is using Dynatext
and what tools people use [in general] to generate SGML.  Any info is 
appreciated.  I am told that Interleaf and an Arbortext product generate
SGML.  Are there any others?  I am also totally ignorant about SGML and 
need to learn more about how it is used, especially on a conceptual level.
If anyone can point me at a good reference, that would be great.  Thanks.
