Originally-from:GTOAL@UK.AC.EDINBURGH.COMPUTER-SCIENCE.TARDIS
CSICWM@UK.AC.SHEFFIELD.PRIMEA asks for TeX for the Acorn Archimedes,
running RiscOS rather than Unix.
There are two versions of this compiled for the Archimedes; one is from
Tools GmbH which is sold commercially (I think around $UK200 for a full
set of TeX and MF), and one which is supplied by myself as a part-time
public domain effort.
I have *not* tried very hard to advertise my services before now, because
my release has been short of a very vital part: the previewer. However
a previewer which has been under development for some time finally started
working this morning (!) and should be beta-testable by the end of next week.
I shall also be lodging copies with the Archive, although I'm not sure
exactly how to do that... my release at the moment includes sources and
font files - it would be a shame to use 20Mb of aston disk space to duplicate
files already there - and it will be a lot of work sorting things out
into suitable format if I dont.
Meantime, I think the best thing to do is for anyone who wants a copy
of TeX (2.9) from me is to post me 25 *FORMATTED* Archimedes floppies
and return postage stamps, and I'll mail them a release as soon as I
can. However because of the part-time nature of this, and the length
of time it takes to copy that many disks, I warn you that sometimes
people have waited as long as ten weeks for their disks to arrive.
If you want better support and quicker service, I can recommend the Tools
version of TeX. They were kind enough to send me a full release for
testing, so I know that it works well enough. I wouldn't say mine
was any better... just cheaper (and copyable) :-)

The following news item appeared in the Daily Telegraph (London 6 July 90).
`Au revoir \^{}
France's language experts abolished the circumflex yesterday.
Circumflex accents and hyphens linking compound words will not be
used in schools after next year.'
It is not explained why the French need to simplify their character
set. Are they all using some inadequate American keyboard?
Do their minitel keyboards have \^{}s?
What are the implications for TeX?

Subject: Re: Gentle Introduction to TeX.
Here is an amended version of a message I sent to Michael Doob
ten days ago. As I haven't received a reply I guess he's away.
Meanwhile I enclose the comments for information and would be
willing to place the revised Gentle Introduction in the Archive
if asked. I have split the single file (as it is) into four
parts for ease of editing: the Contents and Index are hard-coded
in the current version, I removed the defaults and put \input
statements for contents.tex and index.tex; I split the introductory
macros from the main text.
A point of general interest is that since this is a book about
TeX the contents list contains TeX command words. These do not
need to be expanded when the contents list is written. Indeed it
is very unhelpful if they are (especially the maths delimiters).
However, TeX variables like section number and page number obviously
do need to be replaced by their actual values. This is now done by
a sequence of \write s that either do/do not expand. This then meant
I had to find a way of writing unbalanced brackets, so that the
result of writing all the components of an item was something like
\line{ 4.3.2 \TeX s, and TiCks \dotfill 27 }
^ ^ ^
secnum subsecnum etc pageno
You cannot \write{ \string{ } as the \string does not stop TeX
from counting the { and hence saying there is an unbalance. But
you can \write{ \bgroup } and \bgroup seems to mean {. The TeX
book is cagey on any differences.
----------
I got the Gentle Intro from the Aston TeX server to see if you
had changed anything since the 1989 draft. The archive copy is
dated January this year. Here are some comments;
1) There are a couple of paragraphs at the start of section 1 in the
1989 draft that have disappeared. This may be unintended, but the
(partial) reference to the TeXbook has moved to the Introduction.
However, I think without them Section 1 does not flow from its title.
2) The Contents is supposed to be generated from the macros in the
supplied input. This is not so: (a) the macros don't put in the
section numbers (b) the macros put in the contents file expanded
copies of TeX control words. This really screws up the section
heading "Groups, groups ...". I have hacked the macros with the
help of a dirty trick from the TeXbook, so now you can write
contents.tex and then just \input it in the next run.
3) Similarly the index file contains only part of what the index
section needs. I haven't hacked \toindex, but it ought to be easy
enough to get it to write \\\TeX rather than TeX etc.
The DOS sort command gives a slightly different ordering, but
hand editing produces a similar result to your original.
4) I found an error! The alignment chapter in G.I. says you cannot
right align the final tabbed column. You can, by putting another
& after the string. This "right-margin tab" also allows writing
of marginal comments. (It is in the TeXbook)
5) I have resized the document for A4 and changed a few explicit
pagebreaks as a result.

Subject: emTeX
I would be grateful if you would help.
I am attempting to install emTeX on an IBM PC. I have obtained and
installed the files necessary for LaTeX (from Aston.tex). The problem
is which fonts to install?
- Looking through the aston.tex directory there appears to be a great
many fonts to choose from.
The readme file for emTeX describes how the fonts can be supplied from
the author on upto 6 diskettes. These would have possibly upto 8 files.
The fonts would have an extension .fli. The printer type and paper width?
need to be specified when ordering these disks.
This appears confusing when looking through the aston.tex directory.
In addition to the question of which fonts; how do I install these fonts
into the form required?
Note, initially I would be happy getting the screen previewer to work
and go on to solve the question of the printer later.
Thankyou,
Malcolm Teasdale

Subject: Lambda.sty
Sebastian Rahtz asked me to give you a paragraph about Lambda.sty for
inclusion in UKTeX.
Lambda.sty is a TeX implementation of lists, in the style of functional
programming and the lambda calculus. Primitives for constructing
(nil, singleton, cons) manipulating (map, filter) and deconstructing
(head, tail, fold) lists are provided. Using these, a macro to sort
a list is defined. The supporting TUGboat article `Lists in TeX's mouth'
(TUGboat Vol. 11, No. 2) is also available as Lambda.tex (a LaTeX document
which uses ltugboat.sty). Lambda.sty will work equally well with TeX,
LaTeX or AMSTeX.
Cheers,
Alan.
