I am a fairly new TeX user trying to set up legal forms. The problem I am (currently) having is trying to get something which looks sort of like: a line of text | | > | another line of text | When I tried $\left.\vbox to 1 in{ \hbox to 1 in{hello there \hfil}\vfil \hbox to 1 in{goodbye there \hfil}}\right\}$ \vfill \eject \end I got hello there | | | | goodbye there > | | | | I solved my problem by using $\left.\vcenter{\hbox to 1 in{\vbox to 1 in {\hbox to 1 in{hello there \hfil}\vfil \hbox to 1 in{goodbye there \hfil}}}}\right\}$ \vfil \eject \end which gave me what I wanted, but I don't know why. It seems like my \vbox is getting an extra inch of depth in the first example but not in the second. Can anyone explain what's going on or, better yet, tell me where in the TeX Book to look? Thanks, and if this is not an appropriate posting, please let me know. /KAS

Setup: Sun 4/260, SunOS 4.0.1 Latest unix-tex software from tut.cis.ohio-state-edu It all compiles apparently ok. I am not using the undump method, but rather the script file method. When I type, e.g. tex texinfo.tex to try it on an emacs doc file, I get the messages >> This is TeX, C Version 2.95 (no format preloaded) ! I can't find file `texinfo.tex'. <*> &plain texinfo.tex Please type another input file name: >> What am I doing wrong? I suppose I have mixed up one of the environment variables, even though I checked each one 5 times. Hopefully someone has seen this before?... Many thanks, -- Ralph Finch ...ucbvax!ucdavis!caldwr!rfinch
