Subject: Latex to Mac MS-Word?
I am pretty new to the translation business, but one of my colleagues needs
help. He has a document (with many equations) in Latex and needs to convert it
to MS Word (running on a Macintosh) to be able to edit it. Does anyone out
there know of such a translator?
In general, is there a list of available translators and how to obtain them?
Thank you!

Subject: psfig/epsfig to show eps preview bitmap icon
Anyone have a way to put up a bitmap icon instead of the full figure
for a draft preview mode for the various tex ps figure macros ?
Is there a nice way to make a \system{"shell command here"} for TeX ?
Cheers!
Dan.

Subject: Re: Magic lines for TeX/Mf files
Dan Karron <karron@karron.med.nyu.edu> asks about magic byte values
for TeXware files.
We have had the following in our UNIX systems' /etc/magic file for
some time now:
#=======================================================================
# Local additions to the /etc/magic file
0 short 0x1b0c Tektronix graphics file
0 short 0xf702 TeX DVI (device-independent) file
0 short 0xf759 TeX PK packed font file
0 short 0xf783 TeX GF (generic font) file
We no longer have .pxl files, so I didn't bother to make a magic entry
for them. The first 32-bit word of a .pxl file contains the decimal
value 1001, so a /etc/magic entry like
0 long 0x000003e9 TeX PXL (pixel font) file
should suffice.
TeX source files are not easily identifiable because they can start
with anything at all. Only if users adopt a common convention like
%% This is a -*-TeX-*- file
could we have a /etc/magic entry like
0 string %% TeX source file
This still leaves open the problem of distinguishing plain TeX from
AmSTeX, LaTeX, SliTeX, AmSLaTeX, and LAmSTeX. I prefer to do that by
file extensions instead, and use .tex, .ltx, .stx, .alx, .lax
respectively.
Regrettably, TeX/METAFONT .tfm files have no magic signature that can
be used to identify them (see TeX: The Program, Section 539ff, p.
216). I've always viewed this as a serious design flaw in TeX,
because it is hard for a DVI driver to be distinguish a TFM file from
random garbage.
While a .tfm file does contain a checksum, it is a Metafont-generated
checksum of the font parameters, not the .tfm file contents. The DVI
driver can compare this against the font checksum recorded in the .dvi
file, and issue a warning if they do not match.
The only other sanity check a DVI driver can make is that the first
word of a .tfm file contains a file length measured in 32-bit words
that should match the actual size of the file as returned by an
operating-system call. Even that is not reliable however, because
some operating systems pad binary files with NULs to disk block
boundaries. Worse, 8 parameters in the 12-word .tfm file header are
lengths of tables that are stored later on in the file, and file
corruption can lead to crashes of a driver when it gets an
unreasonable value for one of these lengths, and clobbers internal
arrays.

Subject: TeX for UNIX
Hello,
We, at the Instituto de Investigacion Tecnologica, Madrid, Spain,
have bought a SUN workstation. We need TeX ( and LaTeX ) able to run
in UNIX. Could, please, someone inform us about the cheapest way to
get it ? My e-mail is <barquin@iit.upco.es>. Thank you very much.

Subject: Expanding user-defined macros for REVTeX compuscripts
The widespread adoption of electronic submission of TeX files (more
precisely, LaTeX with \documentstyle{revtex}) to journals of the American
Physical Society (APS) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) poses an
interesting problem for the handling of user-defined macros. The present
rules for the ``REVTeX'' compuscript program state either that NO
user-defined macros (they call them ``type 1'') are allowed (APS), or that
only a very small number are allowed (AIP). It turns out that ``very small
number'' means 1 or 2 (according to Peggy Sutherland of the AIP), not the
possibly hundreds of macros that a reasonably-sized manuscript could
naturally entail. Furthermore, NO recursive math definitions are allowed.
After detailed discussions with Christopher Hamlin of the APS and Peggy
Sutherland, I conclude that there appear to be two principal reasons for these
stringent restrictions: (1) personnel aren't trained yet to alter TeX macros if
necessary; (2) much more importantly, users may not be consistent in their use
of macros. For example, consider the fragment
\def\lD{\lambda_{\rm D}}
.
.
.
The definition of~$\lD$ is ... For $\lambda_{\rm D} small...
You are to imagine that the text fragments are buried deep inside the
manuscript. Now suppose that the journal editor decides to remove the \rm
from the definition of \lD to enforce a style rule of the journal. Simply
changing the one-line \def does NOT have the desired effect, since the
author sometimes typed out his original definition by hand. Thus, either
the editorial staff would have to proofread the entire paper (very costly),
or changes may have to be made at the proof stage. Neither possibility is
desirable.
Although I think one can still argue that the proper solution is
to encourage REVTeX authors to use ``macro discipline,'' so that simple
changes can be made to the macro definitions rather than having someone
edit the entire file, the journals won't back down in the short term.
(Furthermore, at the AIP it's even worse: They don't even run TeX on the
REVTeX source that is submitted; they first translate it into their
in-house Xyvision language, then edit that as necessary. Am I alone in
thinking that this is ridiculous?)
The journals, therefore, want a source file that has all user macros
expanded. They suggest doing this with an editor, but this is tedious and
error-prone for long, complicated documents. My alternative solution is to
expand the macros automatically. I have written a utility, with the
working name of XMACRO, that does so.
XMACRO is an emulation of the higher-level (pre-stomach) operations of TeX
itself. It absorbs and tokenizes source code just as TeX does (respecting
all the rules about catcodes etc.), and expands macros as appropriate.
What's left is a stream of TeX primitives and possibly undefined macros.
However, instead of typesetting the primitives or complaining about
undefined macros, XMACRO just writes their names to the output file. The
effect is to generate a new TeX file that should be equivalent to the
original, but that has all user-defined macros expanded. This form should
satisfy the journals.
For example, at the end of this message can be found listings of two short
input files, xsample.src and xsample.bbl, and the file xsample.tex that was
output by XMACRO.
I am attempting to convince the REVTeX people to distribute this utility
along with the REVTeX release. There's nothing definite yet. Meanwhile,
as an experiment and debugging exercise that will run for ONE MONTH
beginning with the public release of this texhax announcement, users may
submit valid REVTeX files to me; they'll receive the expanded results back
shortly by email. The rules are:
(1) Valid REVTeX 3.0 file only. This must be precisely as you would
submit it to the journal, except that your macro definitions shouldn't be
expanded. The file will first be run as-is through LaTeX. If LaTeX
detects an error, I will probably not attempt the XMACRO expansion.
(2) One source file per document. (I.e., .bbl files must be
inserted manually.) This is in spite of the example at the end of this
message, which demonstrates that XMACRO can handle automatic insertion of
the .bbl file.
(3) Please try to localize all user definitions to the start of the
file, before the \documentstyle command.
(4) Send the file to krommes@princeton.edu as the text of a message
with the precise subject ``XMACRO request''.
(5) EMAIL submissions ONLY. No disks!
This experiment is intended to be a debugging exercise and to publicize the
existence of this utility. I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for errors in the expanded
file that is returned to you (although obviously I'd like to hear about
them), delays in publication, losses of promotions or Nobel prizes, etc! I
do certainly promise not to publish your manuscript under my name, release
it to anyone else, or to use any of its contents unethically in any way.
But you submit a manuscript to the experiment AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you're
uncomfortable with any aspect of this experiment, please don't participate.
XMACRO presently expands the following primitives. (There are a few
obvious omissions such as \Afterassigmnent that will be added in the future.)
\Advance
\Aftergroup
\Begingroup
\Bye
\Catcode
\Char
\Chardef
\Count
\Countdef

\Divide

\Else

\Par
\Relax(*)
\Renewcommand
\Romannumeral
\Show
\Showthe
\String
\The
\Toks
\Toksdef
\Undef
\Uppercase
\Xdef
Note that these are in uppercase. In most cases, lower-case versions will
be expanded as well if you use the -t option. Exceptions that are expanded
only in upper case are indicated by (*). However, in some cases you might
want to use the -t option, but pass a few lower-case primitives unchanged
to the output file. To prevent XMACRO from expanding a primitive such as
\the, say ``\undef\the''.
Suggestions are welcome. If you think this utility is a good idea, lobby
the APS and AIP:

APS (Peggy Sutherland): peggys@aip.org

From: CHAA006@VAX.RHBNC.AC.UK
Subject: Revised date/place: TeX for non-American languages;
MF in theory and practice.
I am sorry to have to announce that the proposed UK-TuG Conference in Glasgow
will not be going ahead as planned, primarily for financial reasons. However,
the conference _will_ take place, but at an alternative venue and time which I
hope will prove attractive to you. The conference is now scheduled to take
place at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (`The Country Campus of the
University of London') during Spring, when the campus is at its best and most
attractive.
The actual dates are April 6th--8th, with the same programme as previously
announced; April 6th is reserved for travelling, registration and the
Conference dinner; April 7th will consist of a series of talks (with plenty of
time for discussion) from an internationally famous panel of invited speakers,
including Dominik Wujastyk (who together with Graham Toal is responsible for
the authoritative UK hyphenation patterns, and who is also a Sanskrit scholar),
Bernard Gaulle (until recently president of GUTenberg, the French-speaking TeX
Users' Group, and an authority on good French typographic practice), and Yannis
Haralambous (who is the author of ScholarTeX, and a renowned authority on
MetaFont).
On April 8th, two concurrent MetaFont tutorials will take place, one on
MetaFont in Theory, led by Yannis, and one on MetaFont in Practice. The former
will be concerned with the design and implementation of new fonts through the
medium of MetaFont, whilst the second will be more practical and aimed at
answering questions such as ``how do I generate all the Computer Modern fonts
at 600 dpi for my new laser printer?''.
Royal Holloway and Bedford New College is situated conveniently close to London
Heathrow Airport, and is also served by regular fast trains from London
Waterloo (circa 30 minutes). Accommodation will be en-suite, and all meals will
be included in the price.
Further details (including price) will be issued as soon as the approximate
numbers are known; please send a message to the address below if you are
interested in attending this conference and wish to be kept informed. If you
have already let me know that you intended to attend the Glasgow conference,
please re-confirm for the RHBNC conference in order that I may accurately
record likely numbers.

***************************************************************************
World Wide Window on TeX
14th Annual TeX Users Group Meeting July 26th - 30th, 1993
***************************************************************************
Aston University in Birmingham (United Kingdom) will be the venue for
the 1993 TUG conference. Aston is the home of the `Aston Archive',
one of the largest collections of electronic TeX paraphernalia. This
is the first time that the annual meeting will have been held outside
of North America.
The location of the conference at one centre of the electronic web and
its movement from North America encourage particular focus on the
`world-wide' aspects of TeX, LaTeX and METAFONT. The marked rise in
maturity of windowing systems (X Window system, Microsoft Windows,
Macintosh, Atari, Amiga, etc.) also allows us to exploit more
visually oriented methods in employing the TeX tools. It is hoped
that there will be a contribution to the conference from the Didot
project, further extending the range of topics to include digital
typography and font creation.
The conference will feature the normal paper presentations.
Workshops, poster displays, courses, panels and `birds of a feather'
sessions will also form integral components.
Contributions are urgently sought in the following subject areas: -
archives - electronic networks - formatting structured documents -
LaTeX3 - graphical user interfaces to TeXware - non-English issues -
non-Latin scripts - digital typography - editing structured documents
- - styles - other typesetting systems - document views -

Courses:
There will be a selection of TeX Users Group courses organised in
conjunction with the meeting. Various workshops will also form a part
of the main conference.
Social details:
The conference will take place on the Aston University campus in
central Birmingham, with excellent travel connections. Birmingham is
situated very conveniently for access to all parts of England,
especially the Midlands areas including Stratford and Oxford, as well
as much of Wales. Participants will be given details of local events
and sightseeing suggestions, including a guide to the culinary treats
offered by Birmingham's multi-ethnic society.
Social events will include dinners, receptions, and a mystery trip to
an unexpected face of Birmingham. Accompanying persons will be helped
to have a rewarding time in the area, and will also be offered a
beginners' course in TeX; this course is available as well to those
who would like a crash course in TeX prior to the conference proper.
The approximate cost of attendance at the conference will be 100
pounds, or 250 pounds including accommodation and meals. The normal
accommodation will be on campus in the University residences. Those
wishing to book outside hotel accommodation, or executive
accommodation on campus, will find details on the booking form.
The normal accommodation provided will be on campus in the University
residences, but alternative arrangements (e.g. for executive
accommodation on campus, or hotel accommodation) are also possible;
full details of these and other options are given on the booking form
which is available upon request.
Full computer facilities, including electronic mail and network
contacts, will be available to participants. The rich holdings of the
UK TeX Archive will, of course, be easily accessible.

\medskip \leftline{{\big Social details: }} The conference will take
place on the Aston University campus in central Birmingham, with
excellent travel connections. Birmingham is situated very conveniently
for access to all parts of England, especially the Midlands areas
including Stratford and Oxford, as well as much of Wales.
Participants will be given details of local events and sightseeing
suggestions, including a guide to the culinary treats offered by
Birmingham's multi-ethnic society.
Social events will include dinners, receptions, and a mystery trip
to an unexpected face of Birmingham. Accompanying persons will be
helped to have a rewarding time in the area, and will also be offered
a beginners' course in \TeX; this course is available as well to those
who would like a crash course in \TeX\ prior to
the conference proper.
The approximate cost of attendance at the conference will be \pounds
100, or \pounds 250 including accommodation and meals. The normal
accommodation will be on campus in the University residences. Those
wishing to book outside hotel accommodation, or executive accommodation
on campus, will find details on the booking form.
The normal accommodation provided will be on campus in the University
residences, but alternative arrangements (e.g. for executive
accommodation on campus, or hotel accommodation) are also possible;
full details of these and other options are given on the booking form
which is available upon request.
Full computer facilities, including electronic mail and network
contacts, will be available to participants. The rich holdings of the
UK \TeX\ Archive will, of course, be easily accessible.

From: "George D. Greenwade" <bed_gdg@SHSU.edu>
Subject: MS Windows LaTeX tools available on FILESERV/Niord
Mike Reid <mfreid@hkuxa.hku.hk> has been working with me on correcting some
aspects of my VMS LATEX.HLP file for inclusion in the VMS Help Librarian.
The *real* meat of this announcement, though, is that Mike has ported this
file to a format compatible with Microsoft Windows (which is about the
nicest help utility around), as well as provided a few other utilities for
the Windows environment which may be of interest to users of LaTeX.
Attached are (1) Mike's announcement, (2) the FILESERV description file for
these packages, and (3) very brief information on how to retrieve the
updated VMS Help file.
Regards and thanks to Mike for his efforts on these projects, George

MS-Windows LaTeX Help and microEMACS Interface
January 14, 1993.
Michael F. Reid <mfreid@hkuxa.hku.hk>
>From April 1993 <mfr@phys.canterbury.ac.nz>
I have uploaded:
LATEXHLP.ZIP A LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows
VMS2WINH.ZIP Conversion from VMS help to Windows Help
QH2WINH.ZIP Conversion from QHELP to Windows Help
MEWLTX10.ZIP microEMACS for Windows LaTeX interface
to Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), directory [FILESERV.MSWIN-LATEX]
The LaTeX help file is a translation of a VAX/VMS help file collated by
George Greenwade. The conversion program is in the VMS2WINH.ZIP file, in
case you want to recompile the file with your own additions.
NOTE: You need the MicroSoft Help Compiler (HC) to recompile the help
file. This comes with many Windows programming toolkits.
A conversion from QHELP (a DOS freeware help engine) to Windows help is
in the QH2WINH.ZIP file. This is similar to the vms2winh program, and is
posted here because I know Peter Flynn is working on a TeX help system
based on QHELP.
##### LaTeX microEMACS Interface #####
The MEWLTX10.ZIP file contains code for a microEMACS for Windows
Interface. This allows you to insert LaTeX commands, insert template
files, run TeX processes, parse errors in log files, call up help, and
so on, using the menus. This is still under development, so I would
appreciate positive or negative comments.
***************************************************************************
MSWIN-LATEX
-----------
The MSWIN-LATEX package includes UUENCODEd ZIP archives containing Michael
Reid's LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows and microEMACS for MicroSoft
Windows LaTeX interface.
To retrieve the 3 part distribution of the LaTeX help file, include:
SENDME MSWIN-LATEX.LATEXHLP*
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
To retrieve the 2 part distribution of the microEMACS for Windows LaTeX
interface, include:
SENDME MSWIN-LATEX.MEWLTX10*
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV.
The ZIP files upon which this distribution is based, as well two other
utilities created by Reid are available for anonymous ftp retrieval on
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.MSWIN-LATEX]:
LATEXHLP.ZIP A LaTeX help file for MicroSoft Windows
VMS2WINH.ZIP Conversion from VMS help to Windows Help
QH2WINH.ZIP Conversion from QHELP to Windows Help
MEWLTX10.ZIP microEMACS for Windows LaTeX interface
The VMS help file is available from FILESERV (in 4 parts) by including:
SENDME VMS-LATEX-HELP
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV. The file LATEX.HLP (VMS Help
Librarian file) is available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord in
[FILESERV.VMS-LATEX-HELP].

MeX, version 1.03 on halina.univ.gda.pl
=======================================
What is MeX?
The Mex package is an adaptation of PLAIN and LaTeX formats
to the Polish language and to the Polish printing customs.
MeX is bilingual. You can switch between languages with the
\language\english and \language\polish commands.
The package contains:
- - the set of macro files, called MeX and LaMeX. These are
the Polish versions of the PLAIN and LaMeX formats,
respectively
- - hyphenation rules for the Polish language
- - METAFONT programs for the Polish letters and
quotation marks.
The authors are:
- - formats:
Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski & Marek Ry\'cko

From: Martin Ward <Martin.Ward@durham.ac.uk>
Subject: Pandora LaTeX style file
Enclosed is a style file for LaTeX which uses the Pandora and Euler fonts
instead of Computer Modern. I find the heavier weight of Pandora ideal for
screen previewing - you get a much more readable screen, with only slightly
fewer characters per page. Note that this requires the new font selection
scheme to be installed.
Comments/enhancements are welcome. Has anyone created a caps/small caps
virtual font for Pandora? Or any other design sizes?
Martin.

% To set up the math version properly we have to reset some

% from the math group number one, i.e.\ from the euler cursive font.
% If we do this globally switching back to, let's say, \LaTeX{}s
% normal version will produces an undesired effect: we will then get
% oldstyle numerals in math.
%
% We will leave this problem open at the moment until there is more
% experience with this new font selection scheme. After all, it does
% not seem a very good idea to use such incompatible math versions
% together in one document.
%
% So here we are, re-arranging some of the internal tables:
\mathcode`\0="7130
\mathcode`\1="7131
\mathcode`\2="7132
\mathcode`\3="7133
\mathcode`\4="7134
\mathcode`\5="7135
\mathcode`\6="7136
\mathcode`\7="7137
\mathcode`\8="7138
\mathcode`\9="7139
%
% And here are some example for using the symbols from the special
% extension font. We use \verb+\hexnumber@+ to get the unknown assignment to
% \verb+\euex@group+ as a hexadecimal number into the macro \verb+\@tempa+.
\edef\@tempa{\hexnumber@\euex@group}

%
% Since numbers for footnotes are text numbers and not math

%%% docstring = "This file is the main file for the ucthesis
%%% style, which is intended to meet the requirements
%%% for University of California Ph.D. dissertations.
%%% It is based on the standard report.sty as
%%% modified by Mittelbach and Schopf in Jan 1992.
%%% The primary differences are (1) the use of pseudo-
%%% double-spacing, except in certain special
%%% environments; and (2) the use of a 6 inch line
%%% with 4em paragraph indentation.
%%%
%%% I know of no bugs in this implementation,
%%% but would be happy to hear of any problems
%%% that arise with it.
%%%
%%% This version fixes a bug in the previous
%%% version of 20 Jun 1988. The bug was that
%%% "draft" optional mode didn't work because of
%%% problems in handling optional arguments.
%%% This file does not seem to work with earlier
%%% versions of LaTeX (pre-Jan 1992).
I think I'm just about caught up with submissions and apologize for the
delay in getting this into a public area. I have placed the files so they
are accessible from FILESERV as well as from Niord. Also, the prior
version of ucthesis.sty (STY.UCTHESIS*) has been removed from our style
directory. The description file from FILESERV follows.
Regards and my thanks to Ethan for this update, George
