So an eight page document would be ordered 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 in the output dvi file from TeX, and after ``mangling'' would be ordered 2 7 4 5 6 3 8 1. If no such program exists I'd like the internal details of the dvi file so that I might have a go a writing something to achieve this. I have dvidvi but the (minimal) documentation doesn't indicate it can do this particular trick.

Well, dvidvi *does* do exactly this trick. And the documentation that *I* read described it quite clearly. However, I *was* using th VMS version of the program, which is accompanied by a VMS command procedure, called a5booklet.com, to my memory, I believe, which shows its use in exactly this scenario. You may therefore want to look in the [.vms] subdirectory to pick up some *useful* documentation/examples Brian {Hamilton Kelly} PS I'll be putting a revised version of dvidvi up shortly, which combines the VMS-specific improvements (regarding file structure) for the old version with the upgraded main version of the program. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1993 15:36:12 +0000 From: Peter Abbott Subject: Re: Re-ordering pages of a dvi file >I'm after a program which will re-order the pages within a dvi file >such that when printed two-up (first page on the left, second on the right) >the pagination is suitable for back-to-back copying and turning it >directly into a booklet.

I am trying to get hold of a SUN SPARC version > of LaTex. You have two choices: a) order a complete Unix TeX tape, which comes with generic sources ready to build for any Unix box. see trailer of UKTeX weekly digest for details b) collect a prebuilt setup for sparc machines from the UK TeX Internet archive. this is complete with all necessary support programs, and sources so that you can rebuild. it can be found on ftp.tex.ac.uk, in /pub, as sparctex.tar.Z-nnn where nnn is 1 to 33. collect these, join end to end, uncompress and un-tar under /usr/local. How to retrieve files from from ftp.tex.ac.uk is left as an exercise for the reader Sebastian Rahtz ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1993 10:53:30 +0100 From: woerz%de.gueldener@uk.ac.nsfnet-relay Subject: Problems with newgen TurboPS/400 printer and dvips I have an other little problem here. We have a newgen TurboPS/400 here. We got the latest EPROMs for this printer, because it wouldn't print with the old version. But I still won't print dvi-files converted to Postscript with dvips, but we can print dvi-Files converted with dvialw. I would like to use dvips because of its automatic font generation, so can anybody tell me, what I can do to make it work. I even have a Postscript file generated by dvips sent to newgen via our distributor, but I haven't heard of them yet.

I can't say much about LaTeX specifically. Unless someone can volunteer a style file specifically for scripts, I'd have thought that lots that LaTeX normally does for you will in this case be an impediment. It's pretty easy to do what you want in plain TeX though; it's just an application of the \item hanging indentation. Try something like... \parindent=1in %long enough for longest character name in bold \parskip=10pt plus 1pt minus 3pt % or whatever else you like % \def\Speech#1{\item{\hbox to 1in{\bf#1:\hfill}}} \def\Bill{\Speech{Bill}} \def\Ben{\Speech{Ben}} [...] \Bill Here we go round the Mulberry bush, the Mulberry bush The Mulberry Bush \Ben On a cold and Frosty Morning. \par\noindent {\it There is a sudden loud crash off stage to the left.} \Bill What was that? If you want to break a character's speech into two paragraphs, you'll need to remember to use \item{} instead of \par. (If your characters are speaking in verse this approach may be the wrong one). Assuming you want your stage directions as paragraphs left aligned with the character's names, then using \par\noindent will do what you want. Hope this is of some use, Nigel Arnot. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1993 18:35:26 +0000 From: Philip Taylor (RHBNC) Subject: Re: newsletter macros >>> I know that this is a FAQ, however, this is the first time I have ever >>> wanted to know the answer. >>> Could someone point me to a set of macros for composing newsletters.

Peter ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1993 09:03:51 +0000 From: Peter Abbott Subject: EmTeX output on Canon BJ10ex printer Paper mail question: 17 February 1993 16 Guibal Road Lee London SE12 9LX I bought the basic EmTeX software package from you which included a selection of printer drivers together with the LJ font diskette set. I have used this software to typeset work in plain TeX on my father's PC and to view the work on screen. However, I have been unable to print anything legible on his Canon bubblejet printer (BJ10ex) using the laserjet or deskjet printer drivers which are compatible with the LJ fonts. Although there is no printer driver specifically for the BJ10ex, I am sure I can resolve this problem by using the printer to emulate one of the other EmTeX drivers available in my set. Moreover, I believe I can purchase an additional font disk set from you to match the driver I select. My problem is that I don't know which EmTeX driver I should use and which font set to order. Can you help me please? The Canon bubblejet printer controller makes it compatible with the IBM X24E, Canon BJ130e or Epson LQ-510. The BJ10ex manual lists several drivers I could use together with some emulation restrictions which, it suggests, one should "pay special attention to". In the recommended order for each printer driver control mode, the drivers are as follows. Mode 1/Mode 2 : IBM Proprinter X24E/XL24E; IBM Proprinter X24/XL24; Canon BJ-130e; IBM Proprinter; IBM Graphics printer. LQ Mode : Epson LQ-510; Epson LQ-850; Epson LQ-500; Epson LQ-2550; Epson LQ-800. Because of hardware differences, the LQ-510 emulation has the following restrictions - the justification code ESCa is not supported; Roman and Sans Serif of the LQ mode are substituted for Prestige and Gothic respectively; the styles of block graphics characters at 12 cpi are different. In mode 1, the reverse feed code ESC ] is not supported and the block graphics restriction (above) also applies. Having read the EmTeX documentation, I suspect that I should use either the P6L, P6M, or P6H fonts together with the LQ mode since I can find no mention of IBM Proprinters. However, since I am unfamiliar with the differences between the various printers above and am having difficulty visualising the significance of the "restrictions", I am concerned that I would be making the wrong choice. I would therefore appreciate your recommendations together with any explanation you may be able to offer to clarify the situation for me. If you are unable to advise me further, then I apologise for wasting your time, but would still be grateful if you could send me a list of the font disk sets available with cost and ordering details. Please find enclosed a stamped addressed envelope to covwer the cost of your reply. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully Karen Ellis. ------------------------------ Date: 24 Feb 1993 10:57:58 +0000 From: spqr@uk.ac.york.minster Subject: Re: slitex problem > I copied the tex for SunOS from your machine but it does not allow me to do > slitex.

The README file follows. The files README citesidx.isty citesidx.sty citesidx1.isty can be found on the UK TeX Archive machines in tex.ac.uk:[tex-archive.macros.latex.styles.contrib.citesidx] ftp.tex.ac.uk:/pub/archive/macros/latex/styles/contrib/citesidx ~~Dave ======== CITESIDX (Based on fancycites.sty and windex.tex) Author: Frank Buchholz, Dortmund, Germany, Dec. 1992 email: buchholz@lusty.informatik.uni-dortmund.de Main purpose: Add reference-page-list to bibliography-items. This is done by using the index-facility. Am Ende der Literaturangaben wird jeweils eine Liste der Seiten angef"ugt, auf denen zitiert wird. Diese Liste wird, ebenso wie der Index, mit dem Programm "makeindex" erstellt. Daf"ur ben"otigt "makeindex" die Datei "citesidx.isty". Files: README This file CITESIDX.STY Style-File used by LaTeX CITESIDX.ISTY Style-file used by 'makeindex'. Every char-group ( A, B, C, ... ) is started with a header. If your makeindex-programm doesn't understand this, use the following file instead. CITESIDX1.ISTY Style-file used by 'makeindex' Documentation: see CITESIDX.STY Usage: latex bibtex % if neccesary makeindex -s makeindex.isty latex latex Why use file CITESIDX.ISTY? The program "makeindex" has to write entries like the following \item \indexciteitem{}{} into the *.ind-file if it recognizes entries like \indexentry{@\indexciteitem{}}{} in the *.idx-file. The latter entries are produced by the \cites-commands. Notice that the pageno-list is enclosed in brackets, because the command \indexciteitem takes two parameters. Hint: If you change file "makeindex.isty" to get an other index-layout or if you like to use an other program than "makeindex" to produce the file .ind, take care that the page-list have to be enclosed in brackets. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1993 18:55:43 +0100 From: Schoepf%de.zib-berlin.sc@uk.ac.nsfnet-relay Subject: addition to dviware Have installed `dvichk' in archive/dviware. See readme below. r. This is the beta-testing release of dvichk, a utility to print out the page numbers of a .dvi/.log file created by the TeX formatter. This is the C port of the Pascal program of the same name by Thomas Esken , . You can get the original (PC-Version with Turbo-Pacal source) via anonymous ftp from the largest german TeX-archive . It has been converted to C via p2c, the Pascal-to-C converter written by Dave Gillespie, . Manifest: ======== You should have obtained dvichk.c, dvichk.eng.doc, dvichk.ger.doc, p2clib.c, p2c.h, Makefile.ger, Makefile.eng and this Readme. And the Gnu Public licence. Changes against the PC version: ============================== I took out the file wildcarding option (may be build in later). How to install: =============== In case you need german messages : copy Makefile.ger to Makefile, otherwise copy Makefile.eng to Makefile ! Then edit `Makefile' to reflect your local environment. Type `make' or `make help' for an overview. Type `make dvichk' to create DVIChk.

I am a neophyte (TeX-age about six months), but I have sweat bullets over this package, and learned a lot about TeX in the process of putting it together. I hope that other find it useful. I call the package LexiTeX, because it was originally conceived as a means of streamlining the typesetting of legal citations, because but it should be of equal value for other types of writing as well, with a tweak here and there. The essential features of LexiTeX are as follows: (1) Citations are entered as a set of arguments to an initial declaration command (e.g. \newbook...). (2) The declaration command for a given type of citation governs the typefaces used for setting the arguments of the citation. Two typefaces (one standard, one specially selected by \\...\\) are defined for each of the first three arguments or parsed elements of citations (i.e. author, title, cite-first-part). In most cases, the user therefore enters only the argument text, without worrying about selecting the typeface explicitly. (3) A nickname is assigned to each source when it is first declared. This nickname is used thereafter to refer to the source (i.e. \dickens). This will expand into a short-form citation or cross-reference that accords with the style rules of A Uniform System of Citation (i.e. {\em supra} note 10, {\em id.}, et cetera). The document can therefore be freely edited without fretting over cross-references. (4) Specific page numbers may be referred to, and these will be incorporated into the citation in the proper style. For example, \dickens+{23} will expand into something like ``{\sc C. Dickens}, {\em supra} note 10 at 23'', or {\em Id.} at 23, depending on context. (5) Tables of cases, statutes, articles and books are generated automatically, in the same typefaces used in the main text. Most of TeX's special characters (i.e. \=, etc.) are disabled during the file-write, and will not cause problems. If anyone is interested in taking a look at the LexiTeX manual and playing with the package itself, I can post a uuencoded encryption via email.

It is therefore simplest to retrieve and unpack the new web.tar.Z; otherwise, you will have to rearrange the web files yourself. A summary of the changes is below. Send bug reports to me. I've also updated my modified xdvi and dvips which use the same path searching code. They are on ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex also, as dvipsk.tar.Z and xdvik.tar.Z. The web2c distribution contains only the basic TeX system programs -- no fonts, no macros, etc. See the file FTP in the web2c distribution for where to get these things. Also, the Northwest Computing Support Center has a complete Unix TeX tape, and provides support services. NWCSC is supported only by the revenues from the preparation and distribution of tapes, and is required to be fully self-supporting. It receives no support from the University of Washington. I urge you to order a tape or make a donation if you can, so that NWCSC can afford to continue to organize and distribute Unix-flavored TeX. Email elizabeth@u.washington.edu for details. Thanks to the many people who contributed to this release. karl@cs.umb.edu Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- write lpf@uunet.uu.net. * A file `texfonts.map' allows arbitrary mapping of font names (as given to, for instance, \font) to filenames. * Metafont & TeX: - If a .tex, .tfm, or .mf file can't be found, MakeTeX{TeX,TFM,MF} is invoked before giving up, as in dvips' MakeTeXPK. - Sharable format/base files load faster on LittleEndian machines. - TEXMFOUTPUT is only used for those files which can't be written in the current directory, instead of all files after the first such. Its usage is also reflected in the `... written on ...' messages at the end of the run. - If the DISPLAY environment variable is set, Metafont assumes you are running under X11 for the purposes of online output (instead of relying on the TERM or MFTERM envvar). - Checks for write errors on DVI/GF output. - Unusual glue values no longer make TeX dump core on some systems. * BibTeX: - The cross-reference feature works as documented (I had foolishly changed the default value of min_crossrefs to eliminate it). - New option -min-crossrefs= to change it dynamically. - New option -verbose; without it, normal reportage is eliminated. - Maximum number of .bib files increased to 100. - Non-printable-ASCII characters in .bib files are preserved. * TeXware: - tftopl adds a default extension `.tfm' to the input file if necessary. * web2c: - Unsigned types are used where possible to represent Pascal subranges. Among other things, this eliminates a system dependency in creating format/base files (small_number was defined as `schar', which varies between systems). * configuration: - Unpacks into web2c- instead of src-.*. - site.h merged into lib/c-auto.h.in and ./Makefile.in. - sed is used instead of patch to make the ``small'' change files. - sed is used instead of ed to make the trip/trap files. - The configure script looks in more directories for the X libraries and include files, and is generated from the latest version of Autoconf. - mfware and texware directories merged into the others. - The web2c version is defined in one place, so system information can be added to the banners more easily. * Makefiles: - Makefiles in subdirectories are created by configure. - $(srcdir) (i.e., compiling in a different directory) is closer to working. - Stamp files are not used at the top level, or for {tex,mf}/convert. - New targets install-data and install-exec, to only install architecture-(in)dependent files. * PROBLEMS.W2C has some notes on compiling and using these programs under DOS, contributed by melvin@math.psu.edu. * The man pages have been significantly updated and improved by beebe@math.utah.edu. ------------------------------ UK TeX ARCHIVE at ASTON UNIVERSITY >>> UK.AC.TEX <<< *** Interactive and file transfer access *** JANET: uk.ac.tex (DTE 000020120091) Username: public, Password: public Internet: tex.ac.uk [134.151.40.18] -- telnet/rlogin, anonymous ftp ftp.tex.ac.uk [134.151.44.19] -- anonymous ftp, gopher For telnet access, login: public, password: public For anonymous ftp, login: anonymous, password: *** Mail server *** Send mail to TeXserver@uk.ac.tex (JANET) or TeXserver@tex.ac.uk (rest of the world) with message body containing the word HELP \section FILES OF INTEREST [tex-archive]00readme.txt [tex-archive]00directory.list [tex-archive]00directory.size [tex-archive]00directory_dates.list [tex-archive]00last30days.files [tex-archive.doc]TeX-FAQ.txt (Frequently Asked Questions list) [tex-archive.doc]FAQ-Supplement-*.txt (FAQ supplement) \section DIGESTS This year's UKTeX back issues are stored in the archive in directory [tex-archive.digests.uktex.93] This year's TeXhax back issues are stored in the archive in directory [tex-archive.digests.texhax.93] Latest TeXhax: V93 #04 \section MEDIA DISTRIBUTIONS Postal addresses are given below. \subsection Washington Unix TeX distribution tape Latest copy of May/June 1991 contains: TeX 3.14, LaTeX 2.09, Metafont 2.7, plus many utilities suitable for Unix 4.2/4.3BSD & System V tar format, 1600bpi, blockfactor 20, 1 file (36Mb) Copies available on: One 2400ft 0.5" tape sent to Aston with return labels AND return postage OR One Quarter-Inch Cartridge, QIC-120 or QIC-150 format (DC600A or DC6150) sent with envelope AND stamps for return postage to Nottingham (Due to currency exchange, this service is offered only within the UK) \subsection VMS tapes VMS backup of the archive requires three 2400ft tapes at 6250bpi.
