Hello, I'm posting in the next two messages a little ditty that took me way too long to program a year and half back, and that I originally wanted to make commercial, but I decided what the heck, and so here it is. The TeX ruler is a measuring device for TeX. I'm posting a version using Postscript Times and Helvetica (and all I can say is that it works using the dvips translator of Rockiki), and a version using Computer Modern for people without access to a Postscript printer. It does look better, however, using Postscript fonts. Both versions are a dvi file, compressed and uuencoded. Please don't ask me to post versions using other fonts or other encoding methods. These files are shareware, you can give them away to whoever you like, but you can't charge money for it. I retain copyright and the source file. If you like what I've done, please show your appreciation. Remember that alltogether this one page document has taken something like two whole weeks of programming (mainly in the late-late hours...) Share and enjoy! Victor.
