Archive-name: tex/styles/decus-proceedings-style/0-- Archive-directory: arizona.edu:[.software.deproc] [128.196.128.233] Original-posting-by: JMS@arizona.edu (jms, at home, with vax and mac) Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) In a recent TeXhax, Peter Flynn asks three questions: 1. Two column article, with single column title/abstract. This is what DeProc (DECUS Proceedings) style was designed for. Barbara Beeton wrote this style sheet and contributed it to DECUS. For an example, look at any recent DECUS Proceedings (US chapter). DeProc is available by anonymous ftp to Arizona.Edu. Once on, cd to [.software.deproc.tex] or [.software.deproc.latex]. Complete instructions are included. 2. Help (machine readable) for TeX/LaTeX Off of a non-recent DECUS tape, someone put a full LaTeX help in VAX/VMS help format. I don't know which one (it's been years), but it is highly likely that it is available on the DECUS TeX package tape. 3. Cyrillic fonts/macros As far as I know, there is only one set of inexpensive/free Cyrillic fonts for TeX/LaTeX, and that's the ones from AMS. The old ones were free and were in Metafont 84 (or some such that no one can compile); the new ones are (I think) $45, and come on a PC disk. We got them, loaded them onto the VAX, and have been going great guns. However, we're strictly amateurs at Russian TeX---really interested readers will want to subscribe to RUSTEX-L (via LISTSERV@UBVM, I think), which has had intense discussions on this for quite some time. A perusal of their archives is highly recommended to get up to speed on the topic. jms Joel M Snyder, The Mosaic Group, 627 E Speedway, 85705 Phone: 602.626.8680 (University of Arizona, Dep't of MIS, Eller Graduate School of Management) BITNET: jms@arizmis Internet: jms@mis.arizona.edu SPAN: 47541::uamis::jms -- comp.archives file verification arizona.edu NETINFO_ROOT:[000000.SOFTWARE.DEPROC] LATEX.DIR;1 1 19-FEB-1991 12:52 NETINFO (RWE,RWE,RE,RE) TEX.DIR;1 1 19-FEB-1991 12:52 NETINFO (RWE,RWE,RE,RE) Total of 2 blocks in 2 files. found decus-proceedings-style ok arizona.edu:[.software.deproc]
