[comp.text.tex] Update on STYle collection at FILESERV

bed_gdg@SHSU.BITNET ("George D. Greenwade") (02/23/91)

After looking through back issues of TeXhax (and investigating a few
sources, receiving submissions, and other things), I have added a few new
files to our growing LaTeX style collection available on FILESERV.  Note
that we do not have most of the "standard" styles out there (yet), such as
ART12.STY.  For the most part, our collection is of specialized styles right
now.
 
To avoid having to continually send the command DIRECTORY STY to
FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (this is getting to be a large file), below is a list
of files added or revised since February 1, 1991.  Note that a few of these
have appeared previously, such as STY.SUBEQN1.  The reason for the double
appearance is that they include a fix of a prior problem, but do not
otherwise alter the behavior of the style.  These fixes were lifted from
other sources, but have been tested to verify that the command syntax is not
different, nor is the general behavior different -- just a prior bug (which
may not be apparent or even relevant to your specific application) is now
addressed.  Naturally, my local test is not exhaustive of all possibilities,
so the "fix" is not warranted, but does correct the bug identified.
 
To retrieve any of these files, such as STY.A4DUTCH, please MAIL the command
SENDME STY.A4DUTCH
to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET.  The first line of each file you receive back via
e-mail informs you what name to save the file as (recall, we use
reverse-name syntax on this collection; STY.A4DUTCH should be saved as
A4DUTCH.STY locally!).  FILESERV support multiple commands, so long as each
command resides on a unique line of the MAIL message.  Also, these requests
should be addressed to FILEserv@SHSU.BITNET and *not* to listserv.
 
If you have a style or macro to contribute to our collection, please send it
to STY-Mgr@SHSU.BITNET.  If you have written a style for a particular use,
it is highly likely that someone else has that same use in mind (and if
others get your style and fix a bug, your life may be much better; I know
this from personal experience -- you have seen my posts and subsequent fixes
from others on INFO-TeX).
 
Two quick final comments: (1) HANGCAPTION is something which anyone who
works with long captions in LaTeX's table or figure environment needs to
have!  (2) Previous versions of the description file incorrectly listed the
file STY.TAPE_EXAMPLE.BUM; it should be STY.TAPE_EXAMPLE_BUM  (the example
album dabase for TAPE.STY).
 
Regards,   George
