[comp.text.tex] Suppresing extra spaces in "eqnarray"

pi@eng.cam.ac.uk (Pablo Iglesias) (02/15/91)

I read recently about someone who was rewriting the siam.sty file.
In his note he mentioned one changes: that of supressing the extra space 
that LaTeX places aroud the equal signs of eqnarray.  I have been writing
a style file for our technical reports and would like to incorporate such a
change.  COuld you e-mail me, or post the relevant changes.

While I'm at it there is something else that I would like to incorporate.
In SIAM journals, whenever an array appears in the text, the matrix is
typeset in a smaller font so as to not increase undly the interline spacing.
Have you implemented such a change?  My problem is that I have some macros,
say 

\newcommand{\twobyone}[2]{\left[\ba{c}#1\\ #2\ea\right]}

which I would like to use at all times.  I'd like to modify it so that whenever
this appears in math mode (as opposed to display math) this gets type set in
a smaller font.

Thanks in advance

Pablo
