[comp.text.tex] TUGboat 1

lqiao@watdragon.waterloo.edu (Lee Qiao) (06/07/90)

Does anybody know where I can get back issues of TUGboat, particularly
the article ``An Indexing facility for TeX'' by Terry Winograd and
Bill Paxton, TUGboat 1 (1980)?

Thanks in advance.

You probably don't really want this though. There have been
numerous other indexing utilities written in the intervening
decade and since TeX has been dramatically reincarnated in that
time, the program probably isn't much use anyway. I would
recommend Pehong Chen's makeindex program as your indexing
program (it's an official part of LaTeX and also the most widely
used indexing utility).
