The first is TEXHAX which you can get on an addition request to the moderator at: texhax-request@score.stanford.edu The second you can get on by sending an add request to the moderator at unix-tex-request@mimsy.umd.edu This is the method from the Internet anyway. I am not sure if it is the right subscription procedure form uucp. However, send a message to the moderators and see what they say. There is also a very informative TeX magazine, but I don't remember the address right now. > question: how can one produce in latex a symbol that is used often > in the AND THEREFORE part of a deductive logic argument? > That symbol is a collection of 3 dots in a triangle (base > on the bottom side) following a slash?

Insert the following code where you want the triangular dot pattern to appear: {\large .}\raisebox{10pt}{\large .}{\large .} Depending on how big you want the dot, you can replace 'large' by the desired size, e.g. small, Large, huge, Huge....etc. Also you can adjust the height of the apex dot by changing the value '10pt' next to 'raisebox' above to the height you need. /\ / \ /\ / \/ \ /\ / \ \/ \ / \ \ \ +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ |Hamed Nassar |Internet : hxn8477%njitx.decnet@njitc.njit.edu | |EE Department |UUCP : bellcore!argus!mars!nancy | |NJ Institute of Technology |CompuServe: 74000,130 | |Newark, NJ 07102 |Fidonet : 1:107/701 | +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ ------
