TeXhax Digest Friday, January 2, 1987 Volume 87 : Issue 01 TEXHAX01.87 Editor: Malcolm Brown Today's Topics: % nefarious notes: change in back issue files names Plea from novice... dvi2ps using the PostScript fonts TeX/LaTeX for the Macintosh Figures in LaTeX Add me to the list, and a question the whole bib ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: the present from: Malcolm Brown Subject: slight change in file names of back issues % I've made a slight change in the naming of TeXhax back issues. Until % now, the template used was: % texhaxN.yymmdd % where N is the issue number and yymmdd is the year/month/date of the % issue. This system is a bit clumsy. Everyone (including myself) % refers to the issues entirely by issue number. Hence it seems % worthwhile to drop the yymmdd field, retaining only the yy specification. % From now on, the issues will use the template % texhaxN.yy % Each issue bears its file name as the second line (as above). % ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Dec 86 17:52:39 PST From: Reply-To: OGAWA%SLACVM.BITNET@forsythe.stanford.edu To: TEXHAX@Score.Stanford.EDU Subject: Plea from novice... >I would like to be able to create the following heading using >TeX: > > name_information_one name_information_two > address_one address_two > city_state_zip_one city_state_zip_two > (AC)-555-5555 (AC)-555-5555 > >I would like the two headings centered on the page.

I wasn't sure whether you wanted vertical or horizontal centering, so you'll be able to chose either or both: % vertically center object on page \def\vcenterline#1{\endpage\hrule height0pt\vfil#1\endpage}% % end the current page \def\endpage{\par\vfil\eject}% % determine how much horizontal space between addresses \newskip\gutter \gutter0pt plus1fil %this amount creates horizontal white space equal on % all sides of each address % align addresses so that each line is centered \def\addressalign#1{\vtop{\halign{\hfil##\hfil\cr#1\crcr}}}% % put up two address blocks side-by-side, centered horizontally \def\addressline#1#2{% \centerline{\addressalign{#1}\hskip\gutter\addressalign{#2}}% }% % source text follows: \vcenterline{% vertically center \addressline{% these two addresses: % note: the \cr need not be aligned in the source text name information one \cr address one \cr city state zip one \cr (AC)-555-5555 \cr }{% name information two \cr address two \cr city state zip two \cr (AC)-555-5555 \cr }% }% ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Dec 86 22:27:56 EST From: Bernie Cosell To: texhax@score.stanford.edu Subject: dvi2ps using the PostScript fonts Does anyone know of a version of dvi2ps that uses the actual built-in PostScript fonts? Aethetic reasons aside, we have a minor political problem here (at BBN) in that TeX would be a bit less antisocial if we could have it produce fully-conforming PostScript files using the built-in fonts. Anyone seen such a beast? Presumably it would have to include somthing that takes the AFM files you get from Adobe with TranScript and produce suitable TFM files...

If so, who markets it and how good is it? (For example, does it break in LaTeX if a document has more than 25 cross references!)

I need to create two half width figures side by side, but cannot figure out what section 5.4.3 is trying to tell me. Here is what I want: Some text. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa +----------------------------+ +--------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | Figure 9 | | Figure 10 | +----------------------------+ +--------------------------------+ (Ignore the boxes and locations of the caption lines, they are there for illustrative purposes only.)

Leslie, if you read this, I suggest that you include at least one example of how to do this in section 5.4.3, or in the section on figures. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Dec 86 16:18:05 EST From: cmcl2!phri!roy%alanine@seismo.CSS.GOV (Roy Smith) To: texhax@score.stanford.edu Subject: Add me to the list, and a question First, please add me to the TEXHAX mailing list. My address is seismo!cmcl2!phri!roy (which, I guess, means cmcl2!phri!roy@seismo.css.gov on the Arpanet). Now, a question. I'm trying to get the UnixTeX distribution from U of Washington up on my Sun-3/50 running 3.0 Sun Unix. I can't seem to get a pre-loaded tex using the undump facility. Here's what happens when I try: ---------------- Script started on Tue Dec 30 15:48:48 1986 alanine% virtex This is TeX, Version 2.0 for Berkeley UNIX (no format preloaded) ** &plain \read 0 to\blort \blort=^\ (core dumped) alanine% ../undump/undump tex virtex core Data segment size was 16384 now is 589824 alanine% tex This is TeX, Version 2.0 for Berkeley UNIX (no format preloaded) **^Calanine% ^D script done on Tue Dec 30 15:51:45 1986 ---------------- What am I doing wrong?

Roth) To: texhax@score Subject: the whole bib Is there anyway with latex/bibtex to get a listing of all entries in a .bib file without using \cite to cite every entry? Shouldn't there also be a way to print the cite key with an entry so you can have a master list of all the keys you have chosen? I can never remember exactly what I called everything, or when entering a new reference whether I used a similar key for something else.
