                          TRANSFER of TeXhax to the UK

This is the last issue of TeXhax to come out of the University of
Washington.  David Osborne  Cripps Computing Centre, University of Nottingham
has kindly (and bravely---he little knows) arranged to take over 
the moderation.  

Tiina is off to another part of the U.S., and my part in this effort
has been barely a formality for a couple of years.  I cannot find
words adequate to express my appreciation of all the work that Tiina
has done, often under rather trying curcumstances.  We shall miss many
parts of the association with TeXhax.  There are others, such as the
discovery that our first attempt to send out the digest from here
coincided with the birth of the Loathly Worm of Sendmail, that are
more interesting than pleasurable to remember.

Thank you all for your patience at various difficult times, and an especial
thanks to those who helped with the BITNET redistribution, something which
we never really understood.  I urge you to give David Osborne the same sort
of support that you have given us.  

The new addresses for submissions and subscriptions are

Keywords: mode_def

I think the subject line says it all, can anybody direct me to a the
whereabouts of a mode_def for the NEC Silentwriter2 S60P model.

It seems to print HP Laserjet generated TeX fonts OK, but they are
not ideal ..........

Thanks for your help

Subject: re: Trademark symbol under LaTeX??
Keywords: LaTeX, trademark

There is no trademark symbol in any of the standard TeX fonts.  However, it's
not hard to build one.  I have two definitions that I've used; they differ in
how they adapt when used at different sizes.  The first does the obvious thing
and scales along with the current text size.  Unfortunately, this doesn't look
good at very large sizes:

%
% A "trademark" symbol.  This doesn't look too good at sizes \huge and \Huge.
%
\def\tm{$\m@th^{^{\rm T\kern -.04em M}}$}

The alternative is to fix the size:

%
% A "trademark" symbol, fixed in size.
%
\def\tm{$\m@th^{^{\hbox{\tiny T\kern -.04em M}}}$}

Each looks best in different circumstances; you'll have to try them and see
which works for you.

Notes:  The second solution won't work with the New Font Selection Scheme
unless it's used in compatibility mode, as it assumes that \tiny implies \rm.
The fix should be obvious....

In some situations, \sf may look better than \rm.

Both of these definitions are meant to appear in a style file, as they use
an internal macro, \m@th.  You can also just put a \makeatletter before the
definition and a \makeatother after it.  (Only the definition needs special
treatment, not uses of the resulting macro.)

Use \tm just after the trademarked\tm word; don't put a space before it.

Don't use \tm in math mode.  (If for some reason you need it there, put it in
an \hbox.)

Is there some \special command I can enclose text in to get dvips to
set the text in a specified color?  I'm wondering if this is a simple
thing to do.

Subject: eqnarray environment
Keywords: eqnarray

Is there a simple way to obtain left-justified text in an eqnarray env.?
If "\lefteqn" is used with a "\parbox", the parbox's left margin appears
to get centered in the environment.  Basically, I have three equations
which I'd like to have aligned on the "=" sign.  Additionally, I would
like to describe each equation with a few words of text.  Thus, my
dilema.

Subject: Eplain 2.0 released
Keywords: Eplain 2.0

I have released Eplain version 2.0.  It is available by ftp from

  ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{eplain/*,eplain.tar.Z}
   ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1]:TeX/eplain/eplain-2.0.tar.Z

You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's file server if you
cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of something like 
`SENDME EPLAIN.EPLAIN_TEX'.  (George will be posting a message with more
details soon.)

It has been almost a year since Eplain 1.9.  As you might expect, there
are many changes.  (Many bugs have concomitantly been introduced, I
expect.)  As far as I know, the changes are all upward-compatible.
Here are some of the highlights:

In btxmac:
* generally more configurable
* numeric labels are right-justified
* spaces are ignored before optional arguments
* page breaks are disallowed (by default) before the bibliography
* support for multiple bibliographies
* works (insofar as possible) with AMSTeX

In eplain:
* includes Steven Smith's ``arrow.tex'', a set of macros for producing
  commutative diagrams
* includes Nelson Beebe's texnames.sty to define the various names of
  TeXware
* a \verbatim macro to typeset inline verbatim stuff
* lists are more configurable
* the justification commands handle text on the same line as the command
* support for subequations like (1.1a), (1.1b)
* a new and (I hope) more robust implementation of \leftdisplays

For those (no doubt many) of you who haven't heard of Eplain: it
is a collection of macros intended to provide relatively low-level
capabilities, regardless of how your document appears.  For example, it
has macros to do symbolic cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a
section heading.  It also has some definitions that make it easier to
change the conventions of plain TeX's output.  For example, it lets you
produce left-justified math displays by simply saying `\leftdisplays'.

Since we are the main mail repository (with ftp access for the individual
files or the compressed tar file also), I am appending FILESERV's
description file below.  I extend my thanks to Karl for allowing us to work

===========================================================================
                                  EPLAIN
                                  ------
The EPLAIN package includes the macros for version 2.0 (March 5, 1992) of
Karl Berry's <karl@cs.umb.edu> Eplain for TeX.  The eplain macro package
expands on the definitions in plain TeX.  Eplain is not intended to provide
"intensional" typesetting capabilities, like LaTeX or Texinfo.  Instead, it
provides definitions that are intended to be useful regardless of the
high-level commands that you use when you actually prepare your manuscript.

To retrieve the complete EPLAIN package of 78 files, include the command:
 SENDME EPLAIN
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only need one of these files, say
EPLAIN.OUTER_TEX, use the command:
 SENDME EPLAIN.OUTER_TEX
in your MAIL message to FILESERV.  Anonymous ftp users can find these files
on Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory [.EPLAIN].  A compressed
U*ix tar (EPLAIN-2_0.TAR_Z) file is in this directory also.

Subject: Sfware programs available on FILESERV/Niord
Keywords: Sfware, soft fonts

Norm Walsh (author of the popular SFPtoPK, PKtoSFP, and MergeSFP utilities
for softfont conversions to and from PK formats) forwarded me his new
Sfware collection for even more extensive font handling.  Norm's obsession
with collecting fonts clearly has a benefit for the TeX community.  Below
is the FILESERV description file for this new package.

My thanks are extended to Norm for providing them for our distribution.

--George
===========================================================================
                                  SFWARE
                                  ------
The SFWARE package includes four UUENCODEd ZIP files for Norm Walsh's
(walsh@cs.umass.edu) utilities which allow you to download, rotate,
compress, expand, view, and perform special effects on softfonts.  The
effects provided include bold, fill, convert to fixed spacing, halftone,
hollow, invert, mirror, outline, convert to proportional spacing, resize,
reverse, shade, shadow, slant, stripe, three-d, hollow-three-d, and
filled-three-d effects.  The effects can be tailored and customized for any
font with various parameters and shading patterns.

Sfware is distributed in four archive files: SFW100P1, SFW100P2, SFW100D1,
and SFW100D2.  The 'P' archives contain the programs and the 'D' archives 
contain documentation.  It is absolutely vital that you have BOTH program
archives before you try to use Sfware.

These programs only work under MS-DOS.  The menu-shell requires a hard disk
and 400+kb of memory.  The special effects cannot be applied to scalable
fonts.  These programs are shareware.

What you need: 
        SFW100P1.ZIP 
        SFW100P2.ZIP 
These archives contain the programs for Sfware.  You must get both of these
archives or Sfware will not work!
        SFW100D1.ZIP 
        SFW100D2.ZIP 
These archives contain the documentation.  The "D1" archive documents the
full-screen shell.  The "D2" archive documents the command line utilities.
It is recommended that you start with the full-screen shell and move on to
the command-line interface if you find a need. 

These files are available for retrieval via mail by including the command:
 SENDME SFWARE
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file, say,
SFWARE.SFW100D2_UUE_05OF13, include the command:
 SENDME SFWARE.SFW100D2_UUE_05OF13
in your mail message to FILESERV. The SFW100P1.ZIP, SFW100P2.ZIP,
SFW100D1.ZIP, and SFW100D2.ZIP files are available for anonymous ftp
retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory
[.SFWARE].

From: "George D. Greenwade" <bed_gdg@SHSU.edu>
Subject: ENDFLOAT.STY available at FILESERV/Niord
Keywords: ENDFLOAT.STY

James Darrell McCauley <jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu> forwarded me his official
release version (1.0) of his endfloat.sty (a beta version had been posted
to comp.text.tex earlier).  The purpose of this style is to put all figures
on pages by themselves at the end of an article in a section named Figures.
Likewise for tables.  Reference can be made in the text of where the figure
should have been (only caption appears - see \markersintext and
\nomarkersintext [default] below.  \ref and \label always works on the ones
at the end).  The default language of this style is English; specific
instructions for using this in a foreign language are provided within the
comments of the file.

To retrieve this file via e-mail, please include the command:
 SENDME STY.ENDFLOAT
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
The file is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu
[192.92.115.8] in the directory [.STY] as STY.ENDFLOAT.

Regards,   George
