Subject: Needed: a network version of PCTeX
Keywords: PCTeX
I am brand-new to TeX, so I hope this question won't be too stupid.
Our department recently purchased a copy of PCTeX from Personal
TeX in Mill Valley. We were so impressed with it that we would
like to have a network copy to install in one of our PC labs.
Personal TeX says that they do not have a network version.
Does anyone know if PCTeX is available from another vendor who might
have a network version? If so, would this be the same TeX as the
one we got from Personal TeX?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: LaTeX fonts at 118 dpi
Keywords: LaTeX, fonts, 118dpi
Can somebody tell me what I need to do (step-by -step) or where to
find what to do to accomplish the following simple operation:
generate a full set of fonts for LaTeX at 118dpi
sounds pretty easy to me... get a Unix TeX tape, or FTP the .mf files from
somewhere like the UK TeX Archive (see [public.unix_30_01_89.LaTeXfonts.mf])
and then execute the make script (in the directory ../gf), as reproduced below.
Sebastian Rahtz, Computer Science, Southampton
# Makefile for LaTeX 118 lines per inch fonts.
# This is gf118.makeLaTeX, based on the gf118.makefile

Subject: Needed: general information concerning TeX fonts
Keywords: TeX, fonts
I have seen many font formats for use with TeX. Examples are PXL, PK,
GF,....etc. Does anybody have a text file, magazine article,...etc.,
that gives an overview of:
1) The evolution of these fonts
2) The differences between them
3) What is needed to convert one into the other
3) How they are used by TeX
Probably these issues are discussed in TUG publications which, unfortunately,
I have no access to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

%%% Moderators' note: It is best to forget about pxl. It has long been
%%% obsolete, and I am not sure where, outside TUGboat volume 2, you could
%%% find a description. For gf and pk, the formats are repeated in several
%%% WEB files. Weave gftype.web and pktype.web (no change file needed, and
%%% in fact it is better to leave it out) and you will have the official
%%% description of both formats. Incidentally---the format of dvi files
%%% can be found by *weave*ing dvitype. GF is general format, pk is a
%%% packed version. With one very obscure limitation involving gf
%%% specials of a sort that has never yet been used, they are interchangeable
%%% via gftopk and pktogf. PK format takes a lot less space. Present
%%% day output programs use gf or pk, with a natural tendency to move
%%% in the direction of the better packed pk.

Hi,
Can anyone help me get the BIGTeX patches from the UNIX-TeX distribution?
I have UNIX-TeX, but this file was accidently lost, and now I find I need it.
Please mail to me directly, since I am not subscribed to this list.
Thanks,

Subject: Alternating Page Headers in LaTeX
Keywords: LaTeX, page headers
Has anyone ever gotten the twoside alternating headers
to work in article document style (with twoside option)
and headings page style in LaTeX?
I'm somewhat new to LaTeX; for the last nine years,
I've used my own macro package in TeX.
But from what the LaTeX manual says about marks,
it should *definitely* be giving me alternating headers.
What I get using the headings page style
and the twoside option to the article document style
is the correct headers for even-numbered pages
but the headers for odd-numbered pages contain
only the page number and not the running section title.
The odd-numbered header should contain the title
of the most recent section or subsection. Both
\section and \subsection are supposed to set the
appropriate mark.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Subject: LaTeX challenge
Keywords: LaTeX
Here is a challenge, for those who enjoy such things:
A colleague is writing a book containing two similar texts, which are
to be presented on facing pages, with matching paragraphs lining up
with each other; so a typical pair of facing pages looks like this:
|------------------------|------------------------|
| The first paragraph | Matching paragraph on |
| on a page. | the opposite page, but |
| | a bit longer. |
| | |
| Second paragraph on | Another paragraph. |
| the left page. | |
| | |
| And so on... | And so on... |
| | |
| 234 | 235 |
|-------------------------------------------------|
The text will be entered in a form like:
\twopars{The first paragraph on a page.}
{Matching paragraph on ... longer.}
\twopars{Second paragraph on the left page.}
{Another paragraph.}
etc.
Ideally I would like a definition of \twopars and any necessary output
routine changes to run under LaTeX and have it set pages as above, in
the current document style, but I would be happy with anything that
even approximates that.
Please e-mail me any ideas you have,

Subject: Commutative diagram macros for LaTeX
Keywords: macros, LaTeX
These commutative diagram macros for LaTeX were developed for our technical
typist. They are adapted from the commutative diagram macros in AmSTeX.
Additional types of ``arrows'' are defined, but otherwise they have the same
features (and limitations) of those in AmSTeX. In particular, the horizontal
arrows will stretch with the superscripts and subscripts, but, as in AmSTeX,
arrows in a given column are not automatically the same length (see The Joy
of TeX, p. 149).
It should be noted that other solutions to this problem have been presented
in TeXhax. Michael Barr provides sqmac.sty, with more general kinds of
arrows and arrows which stretch with the node size (but not with the
superscript). Also, credit goes to M. Spivak for designing macros which were
easy to adapt.
The @-syntax of AmSTeX is included. Look for comments in the file cd.sty if
you wish to remove the code for this. One difference from AmSTeX: The
@-syntax cannot be used outside of \CD. The syntax described in the file
cddoc.tex below can be used outside of \CD. LaTeX the file cddoc.tex, and
examine the output. I believe it will adequately document the syntax.

\paragraph{Commutative diagrams} These were adapted from those in \AmSTeX\
(see p.\ 146 of {\em The Joy of \TeX}). All of the horizontal ``arrows'' will
stretch with the superscripts and subscripts. These can also be used outside
of \verb"\CD", where they will be somewhat shorter. You must put `{\tt cd}'
in with the other style options, for example
\verb"\documentstyle[12pt,cd]{article}". The \verb"@"-commands from the
\AmSTeX\ still work, but the new \verb"\cd"-style is the preferred format.
The table below shows the arrows and names, along with suggested
abbreviations.

I know this may be more irritating than helpful, but...
See The TeXbook, page 178, Exercise 18.26. It points out this problem.
Then go read the answer to that exercise on page 323. It gives the
definition for a macro that will draw an underline that crosses through
descenders:
\def\undertext#1{$\underline{\smash{\hbox{#1}}}$}
But the answer goes on to say:
Underlining is actually not very common in fine typography, since
font changes usually work just as well or better, when you want to
emphasize something. If you really want underlined text, it's
best to have a special font in which all the letters are
underlined.

Subject: Using LaTex to format an article in 9 point
Keywords: LaTeX, article
I'm preparing a paper for an ACM conference proceedings. They want
the papers to be formatted using 9 point type with 10 points from
baseline to baseline. (It seems rather crowded to me; but that's what
they want.) Does anyone have a LaTex .sty file for formatting
articles in 9 point? If so, please send it to me by email or send me
a message how I might obtain it using anonymous ftp on the Internet.
The deadline is approaching fast, so I would appreciate a quick
answer.
Thanks,
Elliot
