Has anyone modified "changebar.sty" for use the the DVIPS driver? If so, could you either post a copy, send me a copy, or tell me where I can otherwise obtain the STY file. Also, any comments in general about using changebars? Other suggestions or solutions? LaTeX STY files?? Thanks, Dan -- =========================================================================== J.

I suppose you could find the file in Aston, or you can ask him. The latest version I've seen now supports DVItoLN03, DVItoPS (James Clark's) and DVIPS (Rockicki). It should be very simple to add more. -- Johannes Braams PTT Research Neher Laboratorium, P.O. box 421, 2260 AK Leidschendam, The Netherlands.

It's a TeX level hack, so it should work with any DVI driver. I just tested it, and it works with dvi2ps, dvips 5.47, and xdvi. enjoy. % Change bar document-style option for LaTeX. % % Copyright (C) 1990 by David B. Johnson. % % dbj@titan.rice.edu (Dave Johnson) % These macros draw a solid bar down the right margin of the output, % covering a range of the input file that has been declared to be changed. % % The beginning and end of a change bar in the text are marked with % \chgbarbegin and \chgbarend, respectively. For example, % % Here is some sample text \chgbarbegin that was % changed\chgbarend{} and some that wasn't changed. % % The change bar is drawn continuously between the line of output % containing the \chgbarbegin and the line of output containing the % \chgbarend. These lines can end up on separate pages, and the % division at page boundaries is handled automatically. % Two dimensions control the size and placement of the change bars: % \chgbarwidth The width of a change bar % \chgbarsep The distance between the text and the change bar % Warning: it does not appear to be possible to do this completely % correctly, due to the time at which the verticle glue on a page is % finally set, and the way that page breaks are decided. With % \raggedbottom, this normally works fine. It hasn't been tested with % \flushbottom, but will probably behave worse. In strange rare % situations, a change bar might be drawn from the first line of a page % up off the top of a page; this can usually be fixed by slightly moving % the \chngbarend around, or by breaking a single change bar range % into two ranges. \newdimen\chgbarwidth \newdimen\chgbarsep \chgbarwidth 4pt \chgbarsep .25in \def\chgbarbegin{\ifhmode\@chgbar{-2}\else\@chgbar{-3}\fi} \def\chgbarend{\@chgbar{-4}\relax} \marginparpush 0pt % The remainder of this is hacked up based on the LaTeX 2.09 latex.tex. % copied from \marginpar \def\@chgbar#1{\ifhmode \@bsphack\@floatpenalty -\@Mii\else \@floatpenalty-\@Miii\fi\ifinner \@parmoderr\@floatpenalty\z@ \else\@next\@currbox\@freelist{\global \count\@currbox#1}{\@floatpenalty\z@ \@fltovf \def\@currbox{\@tempboxa}}\fi \setbox\@tempboxa\vbox \bgroup\end@float\@esphack} \newdimen\@chgbarbegin \newif\if@inchgbar \@inchgbarfalse \def\@addmarginpar{% \ifnum\count\@currbox = -2 % change bar begin from hmode \global\@chgbarbegin\@pageht \global\advance\@chgbarbegin -\baselineskip \global\@inchgbartrue \@cons\@freelist\@currbox \else \ifnum\count\@currbox = -3 % change bar begin not from hmode \global\@chgbarbegin\@pageht \global\@inchgbartrue \@cons\@freelist\@currbox \else \ifnum\count\@currbox = -4 % change bar end \if@inchgbar\else\@latexbug\fi \@tempdima\@pageht \advance\@tempdima -\@chgbarbegin \nointerlineskip \@tempcnta\@ne \if@twocolumn \if@firstcolumn \@tempcnta\m@ne \fi \else \if@mparswitch \ifodd\c@page \else\@tempcnta\m@ne \fi \fi \if@reversemargin \@tempcnta -\@tempcnta \fi \fi \hbox to\columnwidth {\ifnum \@tempcnta >\z@ \hskip\columnwidth \hskip\chgbarsep \else \hskip -\chgbarsep \fi \hbox{\vbox to 0pt{\vss \hrule \@height\@tempdima \@width\chgbarwidth \@depth\z@ }} \hss} \nointerlineskip \global\@inchgbarfalse \@cons\@freelist\@currbox \else \@next\@marbox\@currlist{\@cons\@freelist\@marbox \@cons\@freelist\@currbox}\@latexbug\@tempcnta\@ne \if@twocolumn \if@firstcolumn \@tempcnta\m@ne \fi \else \if@mparswitch \ifodd\c@page \else\@tempcnta\m@ne \fi \fi \if@reversemargin \@tempcnta -\@tempcnta \fi \fi \ifnum\@tempcnta <\z@ \global\setbox\@marbox\box\@currbox \fi \@tempdima\@mparbottom \advance\@tempdima -\@pageht \advance\@tempdima\ht\@marbox \ifdim\@tempdima >\z@ \@warning{Marginpar on page \thepage\space moved}\else\@tempdima\z@ \fi \global\@mparbottom\@pageht \global\advance\@mparbottom\@tempdima \global\advance\@mparbottom\dp\@marbox \global\advance\@mparbottom\marginparpush \advance\@tempdima -\ht\@marbox \global\ht\@marbox\z@ \global\dp\@marbox\z@ \vskip -\@pagedp \vskip\@tempdima\nointerlineskip \hbox to\columnwidth {\ifnum \@tempcnta >\z@ \hskip\columnwidth \hskip\marginparsep \else \hskip -\marginparsep \hskip -\marginparwidth \fi \box\@marbox \hss} \vskip -\@tempdima \nointerlineskip \hbox{\vrule \@height\z@ \@width\z@ \@depth\@pagedp} \fi\fi\fi} \def\@makecol{\setbox\@outputbox\box\@cclv \if@inchgbar \@tempcnta\@ne \if@twocolumn \if@firstcolumn \@tempcnta\m@ne \fi \else \if@mparswitch \ifodd\c@page \else\@tempcnta\m@ne \fi \fi \if@reversemargin \@tempcnta -\@tempcnta \fi \fi \@tempdima\ht\@outputbox \advance\@tempdima -\@chgbarbegin \advance\@tempdima -\baselineskip \setbox\@outputbox \vbox{\boxmaxdepth \maxdepth \unvbox\@outputbox \nointerlineskip \hbox to\columnwidth {\ifnum \@tempcnta >\z@ \hskip\columnwidth \hskip\chgbarsep \else \hskip -\chgbarsep \fi \hbox{\vbox to 0pt{\vss \hrule \@height\@tempdima \@width\chgbarwidth \@depth\z@}}\hss}} \global\@chgbarbegin 0pt \fi \ifvoid\footins\else\setbox\@outputbox \vbox{\boxmaxdepth \maxdepth \unvbox\@outputbox\vskip\skip\footins\footnoterule\unvbox\footins}\fi \xdef\@freelist{\@freelist\@midlist}\gdef\@midlist{}\@combinefloats \setbox\@outputbox\vbox to\@colht{\boxmaxdepth\maxdepth \@texttop\dimen128=\dp\@outputbox\unvbox\@outputbox \vskip-\dimen128\@textbottom} \global\maxdepth\@maxdepth} \newenvironment{changebar}{\chgbarbegin}{\chgbarend} -- John Kohl <jtkohl@ATHENA.MIT.EDU> or <jtkohl@MIT.EDU> Digital Equipment Corporation/Project Athena (The above opinions are MINE.
