Subject: Problems with MicroTeX on a Zenith Z-286
Keywords: MicroTeX, Zenith
We have MicroTeX version 1.5 (originally from Addison-Wesley, now of
Arbortex). We have successfully used this on many machines including
the Zenith Z-241 and Z-248, both AT compatible machines. But we have
encountered problems on the Z-286, also an AT compatible.
Environment: MS-DOS 3.21
The VER command gives: IBM Personal Computer DOS Version 3.21
config.sys has only a files and buffers command
autoexec.bat has only a path command
640K memory
Running any supplied .EXE file (TEX, INITEX, BIBTEX) gives the following
error on the Z-286:
MicroTeX Version 1.5A1
Copyright (c) 1986 by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc.
MicroTeX: Can't open overlay file <garbage>
MicroTeX: Overlay trouble
The <garbage> is a collection of printable/non-printable characters which
seem to be the same for each program.
We have never gotten this error message on any other machine.
We have ordered the upgrade for MicroTeX from Arbortex, but in the meantime
we would sure like to solve this problem. If anyone has run into this
before I would appreciate your help.

Subject: TeXnical question--problems with screen previewer
Keywords: TeX, query, previewer
Hello!
I am not on your mailing list as of yet, but have a question
which I hope you can answer. I recently received the supposed
latest version of TeX (V2.93) and have successfully installed
the drivers I need for my LN03+ laser printer and also for
my Printronix line printer. I am, however, having problems
with the screen previewer for VT100 terminals, DVITOVDU.
I get actual characters, but am missing most spaces between
words and about one character every word. Has anyone else
used this and had the same problems? Is there a way to `fix'
it or am I just doing something wrong? The default dummy
font is [300]cmr10.pk and I've tried nearly ALL the fonts
without much success. I'd appreciate any help or steering the
right direction I can get. Thanks.

%%% Moderators' note: The results you are getting are normal with
%%% DVITOVDU. By the time spacing commands make it into a DVI file
%%% it becomes difficult to tell interword spacing from kerns.
%%% (Most interword spaces are |w0| commands, but you can't absolutely
%%% count on it.) DVITOVDU is primarily interested in showing you
%%% what your page will look like, rather than in providing a
%%% galley for proof-reading, so it works by accumulating space
%%% values until an interword space seems to be indicated, and
%%% is quite ready to put that interword space at a kern, and to
%%% suppress the preceding or following interword space. For proof-
%%% reading copy which also gives a rough (often quite rough)

Subject: A suggestion regarding lfonts_ams.tex and euler
Keywords: fonts, euler
I don't know if it was here, but someone pointed out that the file
lfonts_ams.tex at Clarkson needs to be updated to include the Euler
family. I don't see how I can do it because TeX limits you to 16
families and lfonts_ams.tex is already using 15 and Euler would add 6
more families. Here's what I'd like to have in lfonts_ams.tex but it
blows up on the \eufbfam line with "! No room for a new \fam".
\newfam\itfam % \it is family 4

%%% Moderators' note: Opening up the |fam| field is not going to be easy
%%% but it is probably not impossible. In module 681 of TeX, the field
%%% is defined as a |quarterword| which allows some latitude even in
%%% unexpanded TeX. In 64-bit gargantuan TeX, |quarterword| is a 16-bit
%%% field. In plain.tex, \newfam is limited to sixteen (TeXbook p. 347)
%%% and in the plain.tex versions of \mathchardef there is no place for
%%% anything greater than a 4-bit value for \fam (TeXbook pp 289--290).
%%% Any increase in the number of families over 16 would require a
%%% substantial addition to the change file for TeX, and it is not
%%% clear whether the results would meet Donald Knuth's test for calling
%%% the result "TeX" since the use of higher numbered families would

Subject: New Unix TeX distribution available for ftp
Keywords: UNIX, TeX
A new Unix TeX distribution from the University of Washington is now
available for anonymous ftp on labrea.stanford.edu. This contains
version 2.95 of TeX, version 1.7 of Metafont, and many other updated
files. Almost all of the TeX and Metafont code is set up to be
converted from Pascal to C, so no Pascal compiler is needed.
To get a copy of this distribution:
1. Please do not ftp between 9am and 6pm, Pacific time. Labrea is a
poor VAX-11/750 and can't handle much of a load.
2. Open an ftp connection as follows:
% ftp labrea.stanford.edu
Name: anonymous
Password: guest (or your name)
ftp> cd pub/tex
3. If you know you want to get everything:
ftp> binary
ftp> mget *
This will copy over 20 megabytes of files.
4. If you want to be more selective:
ftp> get README
ftp> get COPYING.POLICY
README gives a general overview of the files, and COPYING.POLICY
includes a list of all of the files. Be sure to set "binary" mode
before transferring any of the other files.
An important change in this distribution is that GF files are no
longer distributed for most fonts, but PK files are. There is a
program to convert PK files to GF files, if you need it.

Subject: Announcing new version of XeT for VMS
Keywords: XeT, VMS
I have created a new version of XeT for VMS by merging the TeX.CH file
for TeX V2.0 and the XeT.CH file (supplied with the PD TeX VMS dist)
for TeX V2.0 originally written at WAITS (some very peculiar machine
that has a file syntax of "name.ext[area,area]"). The new version of
XeT compiles great for both XeT and INIXeT, creates format files from
PLAIN and LPLAIN, and passes the TRIP test (generates the same tran-
script file as TeX but I haven't got a printed page yet -- explained
in a second).
For those of you who don't know, XeT is TeX for right-to-left speaking
languages (such as Hebrew which is the font I'm using to test this
new version of XeT).
The problem with this new version of XeT is that it requires all DVI
drivers be changed to understand two new DVI codes: |begin_reflect|
(250) and |end_reflect| (251). XeT will process everything I have
written in TeX and generate output with zero trouble. When I try to
use any of the four new XeT primitives, (\beginL, \beginR, \endL, \&
\endR), XeT generates a DVI file I can't process until I change the
DVI processors I have (from N. Beebe). This is the BIG problem! I may
understand how to deal with TeX source, but I've never looked at any
DVI driver code. This change would require a great deal of work as
well since the DVI processor will be doing all the character/word
reorganization (all XeT does is make sure the lines are full and a
few other items about fonts and L-to-R placement).
Does anyone want to help or make suggestions? I can make the change
file and old verion of TeX V2.0 source available for testing (I plan
to distribute in PD when I get a DVI driver patch as well). Now that
there is a DVI standards committee, they should probably get involved
with this as well!
Let me hear from those of you interested!!!!!!

Subject: Man page for ivd2dvi
Keywords: ivd2dvi, dviware
TeXhax Digest V89 #1 contained a mention of ivd2dvi, a postprocessor that
converts dvi-ivd files produced by TeX-XeT into equivalent dvi files.
ivd2dvi is available from june.cs.washington.edu via anonymous ftp in
tex/ivd2dvi.tar.Z. I have reproduced the man page here; it should be
self-explanatory. (At least one version of dvi2ps can process dvi-ivd
files on its own and does not require ivd2dvi. Probably that capability
will disappear, since it adds lots of complexity that is now unnecessary.)
Please send all comments and suggestions to larry@bbn.com.
NAME
ivd2dvi - convert a dvi-ivd file to a standard dvi file
SYNOPSIS
ivd2dvi [-Xv] [-b buffersize] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
An extension to TeX called TeX-XeT produces ``dvi-ivd''
files, which are similar to dvi files but include nonstan-
dard commands calling for the ``reflection'' (horizontal
reversal) of text. In general, dvi-ivd files cannot be pro-
cessed by standard dvi drivers because the reflection com-
mands are not recognized. ivd2dvi converts a dvi-ivd file
to an equivalent dvi file, that is, to a file in which the
necessary reflections are carried out using only standard
dvi commands. The resulting file can be processed by any
dvi driver.
The dvi-ivd file to be translated is specified on the com-
mand line; if the file cannot be found and its name contains
no period following the rightmost slash, ``.dvi'' is
appended and ivd2dvi tries again. Unlike most dvi proces-
sors, ivd2dvi is a true filter and reads its standard input
if no file is specified. The dvi file produced by ivd2dvi
is written to standard output.
ivd2dvi also performs careful error checking for proper
placement of the reflection commands since dvitype(1), the
dvi-file validation program, does not understand them.
OPTIONS
-v Verbose mode. The number of each page is printed as it
is processed.
-c Error checking only. Report if reflection commands are
misused in the input file (or if the input file is mal-
formed in some other way detectable by ivd2dvi) but
produce no output.
-b newbuffersize
Change the size of ivd2dvi's buffers. ivd2dvi uses
several internal buffers and cannot proceed if any
overflows. When this happens, you should try again
using -b to increase the buffer size. The default
buffer size is 1024, which is plenty big.
-X Exact mode. In this mode, ivd2dvi attempts to process
the input file without modification. The comment
string is not updated, NOP commands are retained, and
the maximum stack depth is copied from the input file
if possible (this number is conservatively but impre-
cisely computed by TeX; normally ivd2dvi will substi-
tute the exact value). As a result, dvi files with no
reflection commands are more likely to emerge totally
unchanged. Use of this flag is discouraged except for
debugging.
ENVIRONMENT
TEXFONTS
Colon-separated list of directories to be searched for
font metric files. The default is /usr/lib/tex/fonts.
FILES
/usr/lib/tex/fonts/*.tfm Font metric files.

The original solution I sent apparently has been superseded in version

In any event, the following file, breakcites.sty (accessed as the document

You may also want to use \cite{key1,key2} rather than \cite{key1} \cite{key2}.

Subject: LaTeX book suggestions
Kewyords: LaTeX, book
If the subject of the LaTeX book and a possible revision of it is
still a matter of discussion in TeXhax, I'd like to contribute
something.
1. The description of the `list' environment on pages 112-115 explains,
with a helpful Figure 5.3, that \topsep vertical space is added
between the preceding paragraph and the first item of the list. But
what is added, if anything is added, between the last item of the last
and the following paragraph?
I know: page 166, but that's Appendix C, explains that the same amount
of space is added, but why not use the extra space on page 113 to
include the end of the list in Figure 5.3?
2. While we're on the subject of Figure 5.3: a similar diagram can be
made for a normal text page and the relevant parameters. Style files
or TeX files called `layout' can be obtained from several people --
see also TUGBoat -- but these diagrams would be a welcome addition to
the book.

Subject: LaTeX, sectional units defined by \@startsection
Keywords: LaTeX, \@startsection
I have a problem with the LaTeX definition of \section, \subsection,
etc, in terms of \@startsection. LaTeX produces the following for a
subsection following a section (underscores stand for white space):
1.5__LaTeX and DTP
1.5.1__What is DTP?
whereas the house style of several Dutch publishing companies show a
preference for:
1.5____LaTeX and DTP
1.5.1__What is DTP?
that is, with sectional unit titles at a fixed amount from the left
margin. The thing is that such a change requires modifications to
macros in latex.tex -- I think I know where to modify latex.tex,
although alternative suggestions would be welcome.
A question to Leslie Lamport: has the format of sectional unit titles
intentionally been `hidden' in latex.tex and if so: why?

Subject: Obtaining a funny paragraph shape in TeX
Keywords: TeX, paragraph
A matter of `house style' -- a few scientific journals published by a
publishing company in The Netherlands use a paragraph shape that I've
been trying to simulate in TeX, so far without success. Instead of
(underscores stand for white space):
aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbcccccccccc
ddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffff
gggggggggghhhhhhhh.___________
the paragraphs look like:
aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbcccccccccc
ddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffff
______ggggggggghhhhhhhh.______
This shape is used in table and figure captions, which are centered on
the page and set in a box of the same width as the table or figure.
Any suggestions as to how to solve this puzzle?
