In response to a query in TeXhax V89 #13, the following extract is culled
from a draft of longer article on TeX and the Linotronic-300. I have not
bothered to include the macro definitions required for formatting, but the
meaning should be clear.

[Start of attached file: SYS$USERDISK1:[CHAA006.LINOTRON]DVIPS.TXT;1]
\list \item
DVILASER/PS: a commercial offering, from ArborText (TextSet, as was). Runs
under (at least) VAX/VMS and MS/PC-DOS. Costs \pounds 250 for PC, \pounds
750 per machine for "large" VAXes. Supports both \PS and \CM fonts (uses PK
representation for the latter). Supports \Special, allowing embedded \PS
documents. Has been tested with the \Linotron, using IBM-PC implementation,
using both \PS and \CM fonts at 300 and 1270 \dpi.
\item
PSDVI \& PSPRINT: Andrew Trevorrow's MODULA-2 implementation for VAX/VMS.
Supports both \CM and \PS fonts, and redefines various \TeX control sequences
to support the latter (for accents and the like). Supports the inclusion of
\PS files via \Special. Available free of charge, including source. Has
been tested with PrintServer-40, \Linotron and \LW at the \OU.
\item
DVI2PS: Tony Arnold's PASCAL implementation for VAX/VMS. Supports \CM fonts
in GF format. Supports embedded \PS through the use of \Special.
Costs \pounds 100,
including majority of source, although some routines are supplied only as
object modules. Current status unknown.
\item
DVIALW/PS: Nelson Beebe's generic C implementation. Available for (at least)
VAX/VMS and Unix. Supports embedded \PS through \Special. Available free of
charge, including source. One of a wide variety of \DVI interpreters written
by Nelson, based on common code with device-specific modules.
\item
DVI2PS: Art Kline's `C' implementation (\cf see next item)
Mark Senn wrote the early versions of this program for the BBN BitGraph.
Stephan Bechtolsheim, Bob Brown, Richard Furuta, James Schaad and Robert
Wells improved it. Norm Hutchinson ported the program to the Sun. Neal
Holtz ported it to the Apollo, and from there to producing \PS output.
Stephan Bechtolsheim carried out further improvements.
\item
DVI2PS: Piet van Oostrum's `C' implementation (\cf previous item)
Mark Senn wrote the early versions of this program for the BBN BitGraph.
Stephan Bechtolsheim, Bob Brown, Richard Furuta, James Schaad and Robert
Wells improved it. Norm Hutchinson ported the program to the Sun. Neal
Holtz ported it to the Apollo, and from there to producing \PS output. Scott
Jones added intelligent font substitution. Piet van Oostrum added support for
BSD4.1, the TEXFONTS environment variable, better positioning, resource (VM)
limiting and PK files. Les Carr added the capacity for use of LaserWriter
builtin fonts; Piet van Oostrum merged the last two changes and rewrote the
code for reading \TFM files.
\item
DVItoPS: James Clarke's `C' implementation for MS-DOS and Unix systems.
Supports PK fonts and allows inline \PS. The author states that it should be
easily portable to any machine with a decent C compiler and a reasonable
architecture (ASCII and 8-bit bytes are required). It was originally
developed on a MS-DOS machine, and some care was to taken to achieve maximum
efficiency on a 16-bit architecture, by avoiding the use of 32-bit operations
wherever possible. It consequently runs up to 3 times faster than some other
PostScript drivers on MS-DOS machines (the relative speed depends on whether
you are using floppy, hard or RAM disk; it is relatively much faster on RAM
disk). There is much less difference on 32-bit machines.
\endlist
Of these packages, I have used ArborText's DVILASER/PS, Andrew Trevorrow's
PSDVI (albeit an early version), and Tony Arnold's DVI2PS. At the time of
testing, only ArborText's provided the full range of facilities that I needed,
and I have therefore standardised on that version. What follows is
based on my experience of ArborText's DVILASER/PS, for which
a University-wide site licence for VAX/VMS and MS/DOS implementations
has been obtained.

I have converted the WAITS version of XeT (the version of TeX for right-to-
left reading languages) to VMS except for one line:
if notis_char_node(q) then
This procedure, as were several others I removed, was probably specific to
WAITS (where ever that is) and was not included in the change file nor the
web file. The conversion I've done (which has taken me only a few wasted
hours) was merging TEX.CH with XET.CH (both for TEX V2.0 not 2.93) offered
with the public domain version of TeX from Maria Code / DECUS. Can someone
direct me to WAITS and or the person who originally generated XET.CH so I
can make a VMS specific module of NOTIS_CHAR_NODE and be happy?

Subject: Font suppliers?
Keywords: fonts
We are looking to buy typefaces for use with TeX. Ideally,
we'd like them in three resolutions: 75dpi, 300, and 1370.
We really only need one or two faces, and we only need
the GF/PK/PXL and TFM files, not a program to generate
anything anyone wants for any resolution.
I suspect no one reading this actually has such fonts for sale,
but perhaps people know of a place that sells them.
I know about Bitstream. They may be able to provide us
with what we need, but we'd like to find out any other
sources that may be out there. (We've also talked with
Chuck Bigelow about Lucida, and Neenie Billawala about
Pandora.)

Jin Ji writes,
If you put the following
on the same line, you can see how ugly it looks.
\underline{This is a test.} \underline{This is a good test.}
The problem here is that, since the argument of the second \underline
has a descender (the "g") and the first doesn't, the second underline
will be lower. You can make all the underlines act as if they
had descenders by inserting a \strut command. The example
above can be fixed by writing
\underline{\strut This is a test.} \underline{\strut This is a good test.}

Keywords: LaTeX, eqnarray, margins
Amitabh Shah wants to type
\begin{eqnarray}
\left[ ... \\
... \right]
\end{eqnarray}
Unfortunately, \left and \right must come in matching pairs within a
single formula. An eqnarray environment consists of a sequence
of equations, each of which consists of three separate formulas.
To make delimiters that span multiple lines, one needs to use
struts (to get TeX to make big delimiters) and \raisebox (to
position them vertically and make TeX think that they aren't
very big).
Thomas G. Abernathy writes
I have been trying to adjust the margins of documents.
Below you will see a section of code that works for the BOOK
document style, but not for the ARTICLE. Does anyone know why?
I could see no reason why his commands should behave any differently in
the two styles. But, without any hint of what "not working" means,
it's impossible to answer his question.

Subject: Announcement concerning Tib (for bibliographies)
Keywords: Tib, bibliographies
Tib is a TeX preprocessor to set up and format bibliographies. It has
been mentioned in TeXhax previously, but since it is in a new archive
and also since the readership of TeXhax changes, I will detail some of
its features, some of which are relevant to some recent questions in
TeXhax.
I am changing machines, and Tib will not be available by ftp from me
anymore. Pierre Mackay has kindly taken it under his wing and put it
on the Washington archives under tib.shar.Z. I do not know if he made
an announcement, since our machine was incomunicado for several weeks,
and several issues of TeXhax were missed. Other archives are welcome
to pick it up. There are copies all over the US and some in Europe
and Australia. Written in C, it comes with sources, samples,
demonstrations, documentation, and installation instructions (Pierre
has written a script for unix installation). I am told it is routine
to port it to VMS and there may be some PC versions of it out there.
To a large extent, Tib is a TeX version of the unix program bib,
written by T. Budd, which in turn was modelled on the refer program of
troff. Tib has more features and is tailored to TeX. It works on a
*TeX file which has special symbols to denote a citation. The
citation is keyed by any set of keys that identify it (a special code
need not be used, but can be). Tib turns this file into another TeX
file, ready for TeXing, which contains the citations and the
bibliography formatted as per instructions. The database format is an
extension of the refer database format and, except for TeX accents and
such, Tib works on refer databases. Tib is designed to be easy to use
immediately, but straightforward to personalize.
Tib has been in fairly general use for 2 or 3 years now and seems to
give satisfaction to its users. Some of its features are:
1. Works with any TeX.
2. Handles large databases (the largest I know of has 20,000 items and
is updated weekly --- it is a common database for an entire
laboratory); multiple databases are no problem.
3. Fast (e.g., in the above case).
4. A preprocessor. If desired, changes can be made before the TeX
run. Also sometimes size is a consideration; in one case
LaTeX+BiBTeX+PiCTeX was too big, but LaTeX+Tib+PiCTeX was not.
5. Versatile. It comes with a variety of formatting options for
citations and reference listings (including footnotes or endnotes)
including ones for math, cs, physics, agu, ieee journals and it is not
difficult (and is documented how) to create new ones (largely by
cannibalizing existing ones). There are some others out there for
life sciences and linguistics, but I haven't seen them.
6. Comes with tables of 1800+ official journal and publisher
abbreviations which are automatically incorporated. There are some
other such tables out there (I know of one for physics journals), but
I haven't seen them.
7. Comes with some ancillary programs for interactively perusing
databases and for printing them.
Its main lacks:
1. It does not process through \input statements (there are
workarounds, but it should have this capability).
2. It could use some programs to manage the databases. There is a
program out there for merging refer databases; however it seems too
primitive for Tib databases. There is also a program out there for
sorting refer databases (sortbib) which seems to work fine.
3. From users' comments, the main thing it needs is a BiBTeX-->Tib
(= BiBTeX-->refer) database converter.

Subject: Re: Graphics in TeX
To: TeXhax@Cs.Washington.Edu
A few comments on suggestions to adding graphics to TeX through extensions
of the DVI language:
Something like this has the disadvantage of not only requiring a new
TeX but a whole new set of DVI drivers as well (witness the reluctance
to implement TeX-XeT drivers... I only know of three drivers supporting
the feature) (better yet, witness the reluctance to implement PK-reading
drivers despite the obvious advantages to using such a format).
The dot method (as per PiCTeX) is painfully slow and a memory hog (not
to mention rather large DVI files). LaTeX's graphics font technique is
an improvement in speed and memory at the price of versatility. Using
\special commands isn't too much of an improvement in space (empirical
tests have shown that using the dot method, a diagonal line takes, on
the average 44 words of memory, a \special technique uses 33 words of
memory), but should be somewhat faster.
Ideally, complicated graphics should be handled outside of TeX and
included as whole images. Tom Reid, in his note in TeXhax89 15 has
some interesting and useful comments on this.
