Well, hope not to incite anything further, but I did want to point out one
more option for spacing other than single-spacing under LaTeX via a style
file. A file was submitted to TeXhax last year by Erica Harris, named
SETSPACE.STY, which allows toggles between single space, double space and
one and one-half space. It was built as an improvement on doublespace.sty.
The real beauty of this style is that it looks at the default point size to
determine which \baselinestretch should be used for appropriate vertical
spacing (so the issue of \baselinestretch{2} is avoided entirely for double
spacing unless it is indeed the proper double space for the font size --
interestingly, it never is).
The file is available at FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET as STY.SETSPACE. To retrieve
it, send MAIL to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET with the command:
SENDME STY.SETSPACE
in the body of the message. That should take it from there (remember to
extract and save the file as SETSPACE.STY).
Also, I will soon have a relatively complete back set of TeXhax (beginning
with 1987) available on FILESERV. I am extracting all styles submitted
since 1987 and placing on FILESERV, so they will be there for your use and
convenience. Will post to INFO-TeX once I am through stripping mail headers
from all of them.
To all, thanks for your interest in INFO-TeX. Let me know if there is
anything else we can do to help you.
Regards, George
