Subject: conversion of refer database
I was reading Peter King's mail article (Aug 26) with interest.
I am a beginner in TeX and LaTeX. I already have a big investment
in refer database from a previous institute.
In the new institute here, LaTeX and TeX are not available in the
Unix Operating System, but is available under CMS. Can you give
me a copy of Peter King's file and tell me the conversion procedure.
Thank you very much.

Subject: APA style
Is there a preexisting style page which was designed for APA papers.
I know about the APA-style bibliography at Rochester. I'm looking for
the page that will do everything required by the APA (like the correct
method of labeling sections, spacing paragraphs, making running heads,
etc.).
If one doesn't exist, I need something that would change the way section
headings are produced by LaTeX. They all must be the same size as the
rest of the text. The section headings need to be centered, the subsection
headings need to be left justified, and the subsubsection headings need
to be left-justified and underlined.
Thanks a lot.

Subject: EEL for TeX
I use epsilon (an emacs look-alike) to prepare TeX documents and it has
a C-like extension language called EEL. I noticed a subdirectory called
MSDOS.EEL on the listserv at rpicicge and looked at it to find all the
macros written that might speed my TeX work, but alas the directory was
empty. Is there any place else where EEL macros might be found on the
network? I'd like to avoid wheel reinvention.
Thanks.

Subject: processing .idx files / \myheadings bug ?
1) can anyone tell me anything about the system that allows .idx files
generated by a \makeindex command in LaTeX to be subsequently used
within a `theindex' environment ? I believe there is some kind of
postprocessor which converts the .idx files into a version with \item
entries. Replies direct to me (and the list if you wish) - this is
urgent.
2) A LaTeX document using the myheadings pagestyle on a PC version of
LaTeX prints headings created within the document. This does not
happen on the VAX/VMS or Unix versions 2.09. latex.tex includes
commented-out definitions of @rhead and @lhead that have been
re-introduced within the PC version that a colleague is using. There
is a comment to the effect that \head is an obsolete argument used by
the myheadings pagestyle - this was added in, I recall, July 1985. Can
somebody tell me what's happening - myheadings seems to fail because
of this. Can these few lines be uncommented safely ? Or is there new
code for this style ?

That works, if you specify the date explicitly in each document
and change it whenever you edit the document. It is possible to
make a generic definition of \today that uses your desired format:
%
% The current date in the form `1959 November 28'
%
\def\today{\number\year\space\ifcase\month\or

Subject: Re: TeX mystery (TeXhax #79)
Robert Messer asks why the \hrule in the table generated by
\halign{&#\cr
\noalign{\hrule}
a&b\cr
c&\span\cr}
is only as wide as the `a', rather than as wide as `ab'. The awnser is
that the alignment has three columns, and in the notation of p.245 of
the TeXbook:
w_{11} = width(a) ; w_{22} = width(b) ; w_{23} = 0
with all other values -\infty. This leads to the column widths being
w_1 = width(a) ; w_2 = width(b) ; w_3 = -width(b)
as all the tabskip glue is of zero size. The total width of the \halign
is w_1+w_2+w_3 = width(a), and this is the width assigned to the \hrule.
The moral is: ``columns in an \halign may have a negative width''.

Subject: Re: date in letters
When I use the LaTeX letter environment I automatically have a date
supplied. But the date given is always today, not the day that I
wrote and sent the letter, so if I print out a copy of the letter
later I get the wrong date. I cannot locate anyplace in the manual
that says how to over ride this (under date or letter or today or
whatever), or even how to prevent the date from showing (so that I can
insert my own). So: how do I prevent dates or over ride the default?
\date{mydate} doesn't work. Tom Schneider toms@ncifcrf.gov
Here is a piece of TeX code (that also works with LaTeX) that saves the date
a document 'paper.tex' is run the first time through (La)TeX in a file
'paper.date'. All subsequent runs the date is read back from that file.

Subject: Re: book design (TeXhax 88.78 and 81)
The "Chicago Manual of Style" for book design, which Bernie Cosell
asks about, is probably Hugh Williamson's _Methods of Book Design_
(New Haven: Yale Univ. Press, 3rd edition 1983). There are several
other good books of this ilk, including Ruari Maclean's, which is considered
a minor classic too.
These authors are addressing design directly, from the background of
traditional book production. In TeXhax 88.81 Lamport refers to "constraints
placed by automated formatting systems", and the Williamson and Maclean
do not address these restraints, whatever they are. But I think it is a
great mistake to make such restraints a starting point: we should
try to produce books that are as beautiful as possible, and make the
software somehow obey us, not the other way round.
Given the comprehensiveness and sensitivity of Williamsilliamson's book, and
others, I don't think there is a need for a new book on the subject by
a computer scientist. Williamson has spent his entire life _making_
book after book after book. He _really_ understands what he is talking
about. You know--deep down.

Subject: Boxes in LaTeX
I also have problems with boxes in Latex, as described by Russel Fulton
in texhax v88i80, although it appears differently :
Basicaly, I want 2 columns of boxes aligned at the top and containing
various amount of text (from less than the column width to many lines),
some thing like :
+----------------+ +--------------------------------------+
+ + + +
+----------------+ + +
+ +
+--------------------------------------+
<=== ???
+----------------+ +--------------------------------------+
+ + + +
etc.
so i build the macro
\newcommand{\bref}[2]{\parbox[t]{4cm}{#1}\hspace{8mm}{\parbox[t]{10cm}{#2}}
and use it as
\bref{some text for the left box ...}{some for the right one ...}
\bref{some other text for the ...}{etc ...}
\bref{ ...
now averythings works right, and i get the 2 text well aligned at the top
etc. The problem comes with the vertical space between two sets of boxes,
at the position indicated above with '<=== ???' . If the text in each box
is less than the box width, then the spacing is correct. if it is more than
the box width, then the spacing is much too small and i have to add a
\\[-2mm] or so to get the correct spacing after the call to \bref (this
depends of course on the character size and \baselinestretch).
The same error appear if i replace one or both \parbox with \begin{minipage}
I also tryed to add a \\ after each call to \bref (and without the intermediate
blank line) etc. In all cases the intermediate vertical space was either
too large or too small.
In fact i wanted this space to correspond to an interparagraph skip (as
defined by \parskip) whatever this one is, and this is the original for the
blank line between the call to \bref.
I am shure i did not understood some of the fundamental of boxes in LaTeX,
and the similar problem of Russel let me think that some more explanation
will be usefull for many of us. Thank you very much in advance.

Subject: Postscript, figures, and typesetters
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 88 08:03:07 PDT
We normally use TeX or LaTeX for papers, books,etc and use psfig
for placement of illustrations.
Printing is done through dvi2ps to LaserWriters. Our version, written
by Van Jacobson, allows use of native LW fonts.
We use PostScript for illustrations -- one way or another.
The Problem:
-----------
Recently we had to prepare a paper for a conference. (In fact, a document
processing conference to add insult to injury.)
This was prepared as usual with no difficulty.
Output on the LW was fine so we took the output PostScript file on a MAC
diskette to a local
copy shop which has a Linotronics 300 PS printer.
The output was fine except that the only PS figure was
rotated 90 degrees and translated
into the wrong column of the two column output.
The deadline (and the $5 per page price) prevented us from hacking the PS
code on the spot to make something work. After all the experience we thought
we had, we ended up with glue!
Question
--------
Has anyone patched dvi2ps to work on both LWs and some PS typesetter?
Are there any substitute drivers which solve this problem?

Subject: Problem installing TeX on a 3B2/400 (TeXhax Digest V88 #80)
It is hard to diagnose this sort of thing blind, but the overflow
of a switch table suggests to me that you have a case statement
with too many nn, nn, nn: entries in succession. That can easily happen
with the macro constructs for case statements in parts of TeX and
TeXware. It happened to me in trying to write GFto** utility change files
which regularly broke yacc, when yacc was asked to parse case statements
in which 165 entries led into the one lot of code. (gftopk.web even has
the macro "one_sixty_five_cases".) The answer is to break up the sequence
of case entries. Either have a moderate number of case entries lead into
duplicated code,
sixty_four_cases(some_byte_or_other): begin do_something end;
sixty_four_cases(some_byte_or_other+64): begin do_something end;
in place of
one_twenty_eight_cases(some_byte_or_other): begin do_something end;
or split them up and replace "begin do_something end" with a simple
statement which sets a boolean flag, and use the flag to trigger
"do_something" just after the end_cases for that lot.
I can't guarantee that this is the answer, but when the diagnostics
say that a switch table overflowed, it seems like a good bet.

Subject: HYPHEN_NEDERLANDS.TeX
In de previous TeXhax issue, Theo de Klerk (klerk%ijsapl.DEC@decwrl.dec.com)
asks:
> To implement a proper version of LaTeX on our machines, I'd like
> to know if there is any dutch hyphenation pattern for TeX available
> anywhere in netland.
Some time ago, I constructed the file HYPHEN_NEDERLANDS.TeX , which works
fairly well. It is even a lot smaller than HYPHEN.TeX; this is not so
stange, because the splitting rules in dutch are rather strict and consistent.
The only caveat is, that compound words (and those are in principle unlimited
in dutch) are sometimes not splitted right. This of course can be cured by
inserting `\-'s in the text itself. Fortunately, this is not happening
too much. It can be remarked that newspapers seem to have the same
``compound word splitting'' problem with their automatic splitter.
Installation:
Replace the file HYPHEN.TEX by the one given below.
Run initex on the preferred format (e.g. PLAIN.TEX or LPLAIN.TEX).
Rename the output .FMT file : e.g. PLAIN.FMT ---> PLAIN_NEDERLANDS.FMT
Replace the original HYPHEN.TEX.
Define the commands nTeX as ``TeX &plain_nederlands'',
nLaTeX as ``TeX &lplain_nederlands''.

Subject: murdered footnote macros
I was very sorry to see that a mailer somewhere between euclid and
score had murdered my footnote macros in TeXhax 1988.82. It doesn't
take a Hercule Poirot to discover the murder weapons: the opening
curly brace was killed by a comma and the closing brace was similarly
despatched by a hyphen. Motive unknown.
Anyone using the fnpara.tex macros in the real world should set up
anonymous box counters for the boxes 0--2 used in the \makefootnoteparagraph
and \output macros. I.e., say:
\newbox\box@a
\newbox\box@b
\newbox\box@c
and then in the ouput routine say:
\setbox\box@b=\vbox,\makefootnoteparagraph-\unvbox\box@b
and in the calculations say:
\dim@a=\footnotebaselineskip \multiply\dim@a by 1024
\divide \dim@a by \columnwidth \multiply\dim@a by 64
\xdef\fudgefactor,\expandafter\getfactor\the\dim@a -
\def\makefootnoteparagraph,\unvbox\footins \makehboxofhboxes
\setbox\box@a=\hbox,\unhbox\box@a \removehboxes-

\def\removehboxes,\setbox\box@a=\lastbox
\ifhbox\box@a,\removehboxes-\unhbox\box@a \fi-
This keeps TeX from tripping over its own feet.
