Barbara Beeton drew my attention to this posting. I cannot reproduce the 
effects described with TeX 3.141, and in fact it seems very likely that
the problems are fixed by changes 397 & 398 as numbered in tex82.bug. 
Don Knuth was prompted to make these changes by problems that Brian
Hamilton Kelly discovered when trying to use the right boundary character
mechanism to produce different forms for medial and final sigmas in Greek
text.

I haven't used WP in over a year, but my understanding is that it can
use arbitrary downloadable fonts and has arbitrary vertical and
horizontal spacing.  That's all you need.  Of course, the resulting
eq. may have both a vertical and horizontal spacing command before
each symbol, rendering it difficult to edit, but it >can< be done.  

One advantage to this might be secretaries who already know WP and not
TeX.  The author would prepare the hard parts in TeX, convert it to
WP, and have the secretary fill in the rest.  Not ideal, but it should
work.  

Also, now that I think of it, converting a .dvi program to WP would
make it much easier to distribute.  Everyone has access to WP, not so
with TeX (or even dvi2....).

Hi,
   I've been trying to LaTeX a file (about 10,000 lines) using what must be
a rather old version of LaTeX (2.95).  It gets part way through the 
process then generates the error:

!tex capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=600]

I am running TeX/LaTeX on a VAX under VMS Version 5.5.  This has worked for
me in the past.  I have had our systems folks up my quotas, but after doing
some initial reading on this problem, that does not seem to be the correct
course of action.

Note that I originally had a previous version of this file as a single file 
and did not get the error.  I also have a "driver" which performs \includes
to load the text by sections.  Neither of these seems to work now.  If I
physically reduce the size (number of sections) in either form of the 
LaTeX file, I cease to get the error.  However, since I'm performing a 
number of \ref and \index, it makes things difficult.

Sure. The common idea is that TeX is TeX, so anything that works on one
TeX ysstem will work on any other TeX system (this is true for anything
that can be read by TeX or LaTeX, or, more precicely, virtex...)

Be sure to transfer the files as _text_ files. The best way is to just use
ftp from a PC to a sun and instruct ftp to transfer in text mode. 

If you get a TeX capacity exceeded message when the files are loaded, then
you transfered the files in binary mode.

Place the files on your PC where the other options are, and you'd be ready
to go.

One word of caution tho: psfig only works if your driver is dvips and your
printer is PostScript. If you've got another driver or a non-PostScript
printer, you need assistance of an expert.

According to my knowledge, the detex program (on the Unix OS of my university)
is a filter to strip TeX and LaTeX commands from file.  

For example, if one wishes to filter out the commands in a file called,
filename.tex and store the file with no commands as filename.notex,

I would type:
detex filename.tex > filename.notex

As stated above, this is the command on the UNIX OS.  I don't know whether
detex works on other operating systems.

I have been looking at latex.tex, trying to understand how paragraphs
in the list environment are formatted.  Basically this is done with a
\parshape command executed at the beginning of the list environment.

I don't understand why that works.  The \parshape parameter is
supposed to be reset after each \par, but in this case it takes effect
for every paragraph within the the environment.  What am I missing?

This is presumably because DirectTeX comes with a LaTeX-with-NFSS, while the
others had a LaTeX-without-NFSS. It is as well to be extremely clear-headed
about whether you do, or do not, have NFSS turned on.

    "hello
        this is
          a

    i want the same output to come out. but TeX offcourse takes a
    CR as a space, I know about \Obeylines, but that will
    produce this:

    hello
    this is
    a
    test

    i tried to play with \hskip 1in    and tried different values,
    but iam getting frustrated, Iam sure there got to be some \command that 
    tells TeX to take every thing I type as is. but i cant find it?

    any one please knows how to do this?

or, if you think there a better way of doing this? please show it.

Since titlepage.sty sets the titlepage page number to zero, when the
titlepage is typeset using the twoside option, it is typeset as a lefthand
page.
Consequently the centering is incorrect (except when the left and right
hand 
margins are equal).
The pagenumber is set from within the style file, and therefore cannot be
changed by commands within the document.
Since \pagestyle{empty} holds within a titlepage environment, it doesnt
actually matter what number the page is given, as it will not be printed.
I altered titlepage.sty so that the pagenumber counter was set using
\setcounter{page}{1}
and reset the counter to 1 for the first page of text.

It seems very strange to me to have to do this.  Is there something I have
overlooked?  It is so easy to control pagenumbering from the document, it
seems a bit of an unnecessary restriction to force the title page number to
zero when it has this side effect.

I get the same problem with a reference to the \forall character.

The same error message appears in eqnarray and equations.  The printed

can't figure out how to fix it so that the bounding box in 
the resulting postscript file matches this 10x10 size. 
Consequently it won't go where in want it to when it's 
included in the further TeX file. If anyone has any ideas 
about this I'd be glad to hear about them. Otherwise, does 
anyone konw the current email address of the author of 
TeXPS; the address supplied with the package doesn't seem to 
exist any more?

Thanks, B.

I'd like to use a small box, about .25in square, in a form to allow
people to check off a certain item. I can't find a predefined box
in TeX, like circles and triangles (\circ, \triangleup, etc.)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a mode_def for the new Hewlett Packard Laserjet 4
at 600 DPI?  I tried using VarityperSixZeroZero and it looks OK but
a bit light to my taste.

Please respond by email.

Thanks in advance!

Michael
