Subject: Instructions for FTPing TeX from Score
I've created a file -REAME-.GETTING-TEX in the <ANONYMOUS> directory on
Score. It contains an explanation of the lay-out of the <TEX> directory
tree on Score, and some brief instructions on using anonymous FTP, both
originally written by Barbara Beeton and updated by me.
Anyone interested in FTPing TeX files from Score should be encouraged to
retrieve this file first, if they have any questions about what files are
where. Since this file is in <ANONYMOUS>, anyone who logs in via
"anonymous FTP" can find it without having to change directories.
We seem to get a couple of inquiries a month about how to do this, and
hopefully this file will make responding to them individually a thing of
the past.

FINDING TeX FILES ON SCORE.STANFORD.EDU
USING ANONYMOUS FTP
Most systems on the Internet (this includes the Arpanet, NSFnet and some
others, but not Bitnet or USEnet) support a File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
program that enables a user to make a connection to another node on the
network and copy or send files between the two connected nodes. If the
remote node supports anonymous FTP, it is not necessary for the user to
have an account at that node. An FTP session (run on a TOPS-20 system)
looks something like this.
@ftp score.stanford.edu
...
FTP> cd <tex.web>
< Please log in first, with USER, PASS and ACCT.
LOGIN (user) anonymous
Password: anonymous
...
FTP> get -chrono-.dir web-chrono.dir
[source file] [target file]
PS:<TEX.WEB>-CHRONO-.DIR.14 => <BNB>WEB-CHRONO.DIR.1;P777700 !! [OK]
FTP> exit
ORGANIZATION OF THE TeX DIRECTORIES ON SCORE
In the above example, we are retrieving the -CHRONO-.DIR file from the
<TEX.WEB> directory, the directory which holds TeX.WEB and its change
files, TANGLE and WEAVE, and so forth. Most of the <TEX.*> subdirectories
contain chrono files, which list the files in that directory
chronologically by date of last modification (most recently modified files
first). These chrono files are regenerated automatically every weekend.
The subdirectories listed below are the ones that become part of the
standard TeX distribution tapes:
<TEX.AMSFONTS> .TFM and raster files of 300 dpi AMS fonts
<TEX.AMSTEX> AMSTeX.TeX and related macros and documentation
<TEX.BIBTEX> the BiBTeX system, for use with LaTeX
<TEX.CM> .MF sources of the CM* fonts
<TEX.DOC> manuals, bug and errata lists and other documentation
<TEX.GF> .GF font files
<TEX.INPUTS> various macro files and similar
<TEX.LATEX> the LaTeX macros and style files
<TEX.LN03> a VMS-based device driver for the DEC LN03 printer
<TEX.MF> MF.WEB and change files, ``fontware''
<TEX.TEST> TRIP, TRAP and other test-related files
<TEX.TEXHAX> the TeXhax archives
<TEX.TUGBOAT> items that have appeared in TUGboat
<TEX.WEB> TANGLE and WEB; TeX.WEB and change files
Other directories of interest:
<TEX.BLACKER-FONTS> what the name implies
<TEX.IMAGEN> sources for the DVIIMP program (Imagen device driver)
<TEX.LOCAL> local TeX input files
SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Please note that the WEB Change files in <TEX.WEB> do not necessarily
correspond to the latest versions of the .WEB files. (That is, there is
frequently a delay between when a .WEB file is updated and when the
corresponding Change files are updated.) This is particularly true for
Change files for operating systems other than TOPS-20 (e.g. VMS, CMS, etc.).
Also note that there are no Un*x change files included on Score.
Finally, for other TOPS-20 sites, the .EXE files for the TeX software are
stored in the <TEX> directory.

Subject: various questions
1. Can anyone suggest an appropriate mode_def for use with
Arbortext's Preview program (at 118DPI) on an IBM-pS/2? I have
experimented with a few settings, but I don't really know what I
am doing.
I tried blacker=fillin=0, o_correction=.2 and got rather peculiar
results. All of the letter shapes looked reasonable, but the first
two characters of each word were more-or-less overprinted. Can
anybody explain that to me?
2. I am looking for an 8pt caps-and-small caps font. Has anybody
created such an animal?
3. I have remarkably bad luck with bibliographic entries. I seem
to manage at least one overfull box in the bibliography of each
paper. Now the TeXbook says that the "right" way to fix overfull
boxes is to rewrite the offending paragraph, but one can't very
well do that with the title of someone else's paper (although I
have occasionally been tempted). Is there an accepted way to
handle this problem, besides resetting the \hfuzz? AMS-TeX, which
I use (and I would imagine LaTeX as well) has a rather inflexible
bibliography style, which I do not know how to modify. Which
brings me to my last question...
4. Is there a documented version of AMS-TeX, or at least
AMSPPT.STY? (Similar to the .doc files for LaTeX?) I promise not
to make drastic changes to AMSTeX and then distribute them all over
the world, but It would be nice to be able to create our own styles
to go with AMS-TeX, such as a thesis style for our department.
Thanks,

Subject: Contents of the LaTeX style collection, Sep 23 1988
As many of you know, Ken Yapp has been maintaining the LaTeX Style
Collection at Rochester. This collection has been moved to
Clarkson_Univsity:sun.soe.clarkson.edu:archive-server and is being
maintained by me, Michael DeCorte (mrd@sun.soe.clarkson.edu).
The LaTeX style collection now contains the files listed below. You
should retrieve the file Description first to obtain a brief
description of current directory contents. The file Index contains a
reverse time sorted list of files; this may be helpful in keeping your
collection in sync with LaTeX-style. The file Readme describes how to
retrieve files.
More submissions are very welcome.

1. For Internet users - how to ftp:
An example session is shown below. Users should realize that ftp
syntax varies from host to host. Your syntax may be different. The
syntax presented here is that of Unix ftp. Comments are in
parentheses.
% ftp sun.soe.clarkson.edu (a.k.a. cs.rochester.edu, a.k.a. 192.5.53.209)
... (general blurb)
user: anonymous
password: <any non-null string>
ftp> cd pub/latex-style (where the files are)
ftp> ls (to see what is there)
... (lots of output)
ftp> get Index
... (more blurb)
ftp> quit
2. Non-Internet users: how to retrieve by mail
To retrieve files or help documentation send mail to
archiver-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu with the body of the mail message
containing the command help or index or send. The send command must
be followed by latex-style and then the files you want. Users who are
not in the uucp maps database are strongly encourage to include a path
command followed by a path from clarkson to you. If you don't include
a path command, your mail may not get to you and will definitely be
delayed as Michael will have to mail it by hand. You should realize
that Clarkson does not have a uucp connection, therefore you must send
it to an internet or bitnet host that does have a uucp connection.
For example, host!user@uunet.uu.net should send:
Subject:
path host!user@uunet.uu.net
send latex-style 00readme 00index
send latex-style resume.sty
3. Distribution for IBM PC and clone users:
There are two sources.
David W. Hopper
446 Main Street
Toronto, Ontario
Canada M4C 4Y2
has LaTeX style files only.
1. Either one 1.2 MB diskette or three 360KB diskettes, blank and formatted.
2. Indication of the format required,
3. A self-addressed mailer, and
4. A $5.00 donation per set of files, to cover postage and equipment
wear & tear. (If you live outside North America, airmail delivery will
probably require more postage. You should probably contact David for
details.)
5. No phone calls or personal visits please.
Jon Radel
P.O. Box 2276
Reston, VA 22090
has LaTeX style files and other goodies. The style files occupy 4
floppies. For a list of his comprehensive collection, or other info
send a SASE.
1. 360KB diskettes, blank and formatted.
2. A stamped, self-addressed mailer, and
3. $1.50 per disk. If you live outside North America, skip the stamps
and send additional money or International Reply Coupons.
As a convenience for people who have more money than floppies, Jon will
supply everything for $6.00 per disk to U.S./Canada/Mexico addresses.

Subject: footnote numbering per page
Does anyone have a hack to make LaTeX number footnotes starting afresh on
each page? I understand enough about output routines and when they are
called to surmise that this is a non-trivial problem. (Needless to say,
this is yet another externally imposed requirement problem; the issue isn't
whether this is a good thing to do.)
Thanks.

Subject: Keeping Extraneous Blanks Out of Macro Definitions
After fighting, and typically losing, the battle of the blanks, I gave up
and began using the following commands to reroute blanks in my macro
definitions into TeX's twilight zone. That is, the category code of a blank
is temporarily changed to be the null character. The same trick can be seen
on p.390 of The TeXbook. Unfortunately, a blank may still be needed to form
a readable message and so some other character (for example, "*") needs
to stand in for the blank as shown in the example below.

Subject: LaTeX bug
It seems unbelievable that no one has discovered this LaTeX bug before.
I am doing a book in LaTeX, using a modification of the book.sty file.
I am using a modification of the headings style (modified only to use
lower case italics, instead of Roman caps). This puts the chapter
number and name on the left hand header and the section number and name
on the right. Well, the inevitable happened and a section ended at the
bottom of a right hand page. The header on that page printed the
correct name, but the number was that of the next section! I mad an
ad hoc fix by copying from latex.tex and modifying as shown:
\def\@sect#1#2#3#4#5#6[#7]#8{\ifnum #2>\c@secnumdepth
\def\@svsec{}\else
\refstepcounter{#1}\edef\@svsec{\csname the#1\endcsname\hskip.5em }\fi
\@tempskipa #5\relax
\ifdim \@tempskipa>\z@
\begingroup #6\relax
\@hangfrom{\hskip #3\relax\@svsec}{\interlinepenalty \@M #8\par}
\endgroup
\ifnum#2=1 \sectionmark{\thesection\ #7}\else %line added to fix
%bug, but just ad hoc
\csname #1mark\endcsname{#7}\fi\addcontentsline%%%% added \fi
{toc}{#1}{\ifnum #2>\c@secnumdepth \else
\protect\numberline{\csname the#1\endcsname}\fi
#7}\else
\def\@svsechd{#6\hskip #3\@svsec #8\csname #1mark\endcsname
{#7}\addcontentsline
{toc}{#1}{\ifnum #2>\c@secnumdepth \else
\protect\numberline{\csname the#1\endcsname}\fi
#7}}\fi
\@xsect{#5}}
Does anyone have a real fix?
The eagle-eyed reader will have noticed another minor modification. My
publisher insisted on only an en-space separating the section number
from the name. In LaTeX, this is hard wired, one of the few LaTeX
parameters that is, and the length .5em on the third line of the
procedure is 1em in the original. It shows that one should never
hard-code these dimensions.

Subject: Macros for Printing Words, Lines and Files Verbatim
There's been a bit of discussion on "verbatim" mode where some or all of
TeX's control and escape characters are treated as normal characters, and a
typewriter font is used. So, perhaps someone might be interested in the
following 4 verbatim commands, derived from Dirty Tricks. About 30+ TeX users
here have had access to these for about a year with no complaints so I guess
that means they've been debugged.
To enter a few words verbatim: \vb{SYS$LIBRARY:MY_FILE.DAT}
To enter a few lines verbatim: \vbline{ FUNCTION add(a,b)
12345 add = a + b
RETURN
END}
To enter a file verbatim: \vbfile{my_program.for}
Ditto but with line numbers: \vbfileno{my_program.for}
Spaces are significant: in the \vbline example, the "\" is assumed to be in
the first column so that the listing is indented 6 columns. Watch out for
that first line if you want it all to line up.
Neither the \vb nor \vbline can handle { } as those continue to be used to
delimit the argument. The \vbfile command, however, can handle { and }.
The \vbfile command throws away any formfeed (control-L) commands.
A different font is used for each of these. Since \vb is typically used here
to insert all-caps computer terms into CMR12 text, we've found that a
10pt typewriter font looks good. On the other hand, \vbline is typically used
to insert a few lines which stand alone and so it stays with a 12pt
typewriter font. The \vbfile and \vbfileno commands are used to list files of
computer code which run up to 80 columns wide and so to fit within the
margins being used (thanks to our graduate school's requirements) these had
to drop down to a 9pt typewriter font. There's also some code that
temporarily changes the \baselineskip in \vbline and \vbfile. You may wish to
adjust some or all of these to suit your needs.
None of this has been tested with LaTeX (real men don't use LaTeX).
Since life is too short to work with densely packed code, the following
macros contain indentations and embedded blanks which might get in to your
output; a subsequent note to TeXhax will show a little trick to avoid this.
And, as noted earlier in TeXhax, two-part commands such as \vb will fail
when used as an argument to other commands; the following seems to work well:
\newbox\temporary
\setbox\temporary=\hbox{\vb{SYS$LIBRARY.MY_FILE.DAT}}
\centerline{\temporary}
$$ c = a + b \hbox{\quad see \vb{SYS$LIBRARY:MY_FILE.DAT}}$$
Please send or post comments; I'm sure it could be done better. Enjoy!
