I am not a root user but have enough filespace to try and install LaTeX under my account on a SPARCstation IPX. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I have started by looking within ftp.uu.net for information and I have never installed LaTeX, would this be the best place to start?

Ethan V. Munson asks why \part in the standard report style invokes \markboth{}{}, which wipes out a "Draft" header that a user was trying to place on every page of a document produced with "ucthesis", which is based on "report". The answer is obvious if viewed in the right context: In the "headings" page- style, you really want this, since otherwise any chapter/section information left over from the previous part might "leak over" into the new part - if, for example, there is some information about the new part before a \chapter is issued. The \markboth has no effect if the pagestyle is "plain" or "empty". Support for the "myheadings" style, which the user is presumably trying to use, is somewhat shakey. There are a number of places in the standard styles, mainly having to do with sectioning, in which the code just assumes that it can play around with the headings and the page style as it wishes. This is one of them. (Note that \chapter, \section, and \subsection also change the page marks. This is done through a level of indirection using the \XXXmark commands, which are no-ops in "myheadings". There should have been a \partmark command defined and used the same way....) One quick hack solution would be to define "\setdraft" (or whatever you want to call it) as "\markboth{Draft}{Draft}\def\markboth#1#2{}". -- Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1993 11:53:35 -0500 From: robinson@atax.eng.uab.edu (John M.

Because we got new 600dpi printers at our site, we built 600dpi fonts. However, they don't work very well with xdvi; scaling 600dpi fonts a factor of 6 to 8 seems to be a bit hard on the program. Some characters are mangled, and it is not very readable. Has anyone gotten xdvi to produce good results with 600dpi fonts? I was thinking that it might be best to build some pk files with resolution close to that of an X display, say 75 to 100dpi. Has anyone done that successfully? If so, what mf mode settings did you use? Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello, I am Gunter Roth and it is the first time that I try to install a package like tex or latex. So far, I installed tex and latex version 3.1. Everything seems to work fine. At least all my .tex files can be compiled. I then installed xdvi and here is my problem. Who is creating the fonts for xdvi? Which are the fonts tex is using and in which way I can transform them to get a font for xdvi. Furthermore, I want to print my document out as a postscript file, what are the next font conversions to do? It would be great if you could help me out with the fonts questions.

Mike Piff ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Aug 1993 13:32:26 +0200 From: schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE (Rainer Schoepf) Subject: LaTeX2e -- A New Version of LaTeX The following announcement was made last week at the Annual meeting of the TeX User's Group (TUG) at Aston University, Birmingham, UK. There will be a new, standardised version of LaTeX (working name: LaTeX2e) being released before the end of 1993. Not much has been said about the new features; the perhaps most important point was that support for PostScript fonts will be built in. The text below was converted automatically from LaTeX source format into plain text by the dvidoc processor. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD LaTeX2e -- A New Version of LaTeX Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team July 27, 1993 1 Reasons For LaTeX2e There are two primary reasons for introducing a new version of LaTeX: * Standardisation: a single format incorporating NFSS2, to replace present multiplicity of incompatible formats (NFSS, lfonts, pslfonts, etc.) * Maintenance: a standardised system is essential to a reliable maintenance policy. Note that LaTeX2e is only a ``working name''---thus this may change. 2 Guiding Principles The following two guiding principles are to be followed: I Unmodified version 2.09 input files will produce the same output with LaTeX2e as with version 2.09. II All new features of LaTeX2e will conform to the conventions of version 2.09, making it as easy as possible for current users to learn to use them. 3 Preamble Commands In order to distinguish old (2.09) documents from those using facilities from the new version, LaTeX2e documents will use a different command on the first line. \documentclass[options]{class} The \documentclass command specifies what kind of document this is---for example, article, book, letter, slide. \includepackage[options]{package} Including a package adds new commands and/or redefines existing commands to provide additional functionality. \documentstyle[options,dvidoc]{style} Invokes the LaTeX2.09 compatibility mode. 4 Documentation The new version will be described in a new edition of LaTeX: A document preparation system by Leslie Lamport and in The LaTeX Companion by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin (both to be published by Addison-Wesley). The Companion will also contain a complete description of NFSS2. 5 Distribution Policy Maintenace of the new system will be undertaken by the LaTeX3 project team. A complete distribution of all files, incorporating corrections of errors, will be made available twice a year on fixed dates. This will happen even if there were no changes to the files, and hence only the release dates have to be updated. We are currently looking into the possibility of additionally distributing diff files. 6 Error Reports Error reports can be made using a report generating program latexbug.tex. This will be part of the main distribution. Error reports will be accepted only if the version of LaTeX2e that produces the error is not older than one year. Error reports can be sent to the following mail address: latex-bugs@rus.uni-stuttgart.de or a postal address that is to be announced.

The election to choose the new Board members will be held this fall, and nominations are invited. The Bylaws as amended July 25, 1993, provide that ``Any member may be nominated for election to the Board by submitting a nomination petition in accordance with the TUG Election Procedures. Election of the directors shall be by written mail ballot of the entire membership, carried out in accordance with those same Procedures. Each director will hold office for a term of three (3) years. Directors may be re-elected for successive terms.'' The name of any member may be placed in nomination for election to this office by submission of a petition, signed by two other current (1993) members, to the TUG office by the announced deadline. A petition form is attached; additional forms may be obtained from the TUG office. Along with a petition form, each candidate is asked to supply a passport-size photograph, a short biography, and a statement of intent to be included with the ballot; the biography and statement of intent together may not exceed 400 words. The deadline for receipt at the TUG office of petitions and ballot information is September 1, 1993. For this election only, the lengths of some terms will be altered so that not all members of the Board are replaced at the same time, but only one-third. For Board members elected this year, all terms will begin January 1, 1994. Five members of the new Board will have terms that end with the 1995 annual meeting, five with the 1996 annual meeting, and five with the 1997 annual meeting. Thereafter, all new terms will be for three years, from annual meeting to annual meeting. All positions will be elected this year on the same basis, and the members of each of the three groups chosen by lot by the ballot counter. Ballots will be mailed to all members about 30 days after the close of nominations. Marked ballots must be received no more than 6 weeks following the mailing; the exact date will be noted on the ballots. Ballots will be counted by a disinterested party not part of the TUG organization. The results of the election should be available by the end of November. \begin{flushright} Joachim Lammarsch\\ for the Elections Committee \end{flushright} \newpage %% Nomination form (1 page): \newcommand{\SigRule}{\rule{4.5cm}{.5pt}} \newcommand{\DateRule}{\rule{2.3cm}{.5pt}} \Section{Nomination for\\ 1993 TUG Board of Directors Election} Only current (1993) TUG members are eligible to participate.
