Each set of software is stored below PUBLIC and where relevant in further sub directories. I have a copy of VMS_SHAR and am awaiting a suitable SHAR for `UNIX'. I can also create `TAR' files for FTP but at present the TRANSFER/BINARY fails (DEC have been notified). Further items are always welcome. Peter Abbott TeX DVI Driver Family - Release 2.08 ===================================== This is the updated set of files from UTAH. Index file kirk::[public.texdvi208]000index.list ID and password both PUBLIC PSPRINT DVITOVDU (both from Andrew Trevorrow see TugBoat Vol 8 No 1 page 42) ======== PSPRINT files aston.kirk::[public.psprint]000fetch.list DVITOVDU files aston.kirk::[public.dvitovdu]000fetch.list TEXHAX Contains back numbers of the TeXhax digests. The files are named ====== TEX87.nn where nn is the issue number Index list aston.kirk::[public.texhax]000index.list Digest files aston.kirk::[public.texhax]tex87.nn UKTeX Contains back numbers of the UKTeX material. The files are named ===== UKTEX87.nn where nn is the issue number Index list aston.kirk::[public.uktex]000index.list files aston.kirk::[public.uktex]uktex87.nn PSFIGTEX ======== PSfigTeX is a set of TeX macros to make it easy to include PostScript (and Macintosh) figures inside a TeX document. It was written by Trevor Darrell at the University of Pennsylvania, who retains copyright. See the file COPYRIGHT for details. It arrived as a set of SHAR files, and again, the structure here is the same as that to be found in the SHAR files. Features: Simple, clean interface Psfig automatically positions the figure at the current pen position Figures can be scaled easily Implemented as a TeX macro package; has been brought up under unix, VMS and OS4000. (Please contact HINES@UK.AC.DARESBURY.MAIL for the OS4000 version) PSFIGTEX files aston.kirk::[public.psfigtex]000index.list This file contains a directory listing (including subdirectories) with each file listed and its size. The user need not adhere to the directory structure, it has been used to make maintenance easier. LATEXSTYLE ========== This group is the LaTeX Style collection based on TuGboat Volume 8 No 2. The `shar' files are included in the directory and will eventually be also provided in subdirectories once I can overcome the problem of the limitation of VAX/VMS and files which have a non numeric third part to the name. LATEXSTYLE files aston.kirk::[public.latexstyle]000index.list CRUDETYPE ========= Crudetype an adaptable device driver (TUGboat Volume 7 (1986) No 3 p 159) R M Damerell Royal Holloway and Bedford College. This software has been improved since the publication of the article. CRUDETYPE files aston.kirk::[public.crudetype]000index.list PL and TFM files for Apple Laserwriter ====================================== Files of TFM and PL for resident fonts for the Apple Laserwriter and Laserwriter+ from Sebastian Rahtz Southampton. PL TFM files aston.kirk::[public.apple.pl]000index.list SAUTER ====== This section contains the John Sauter files for creating the cm fonts for LN03 (see Tugboat Volume 8 (1987) No 2 page 129). The created font files will be available later. Index file aston.kirk::[public.sauter]000index.list CTEX 2.1 ======== This group contains CTEX version 2.1 Index file aston.kirk::[public.ctex_2_1]000index.list PAVEL ===== This group was contributed by John Pavel and some material is duplicated elsewhere in the archive. These duplications will be removed as time permits. The subdirectory structure is I hope self explanatory and is attached here. There are a lot of files and we hope to provide batching facilities in the future.
