The Publication Block or Pub-block

The first commands which you use relate to setting up the block of type which gives the date, publication number, etc. If you do not want such a block, you type
nopubblock
If, as will usually be the case you want a pub-block, then you have to specify what goes into it. To specify the publication number you type
pubnum{number }
This causes PHYZZX to put the quantity
pubnum
into the publication number. When you start the quantity
pubnum
is 0000.

The next item which appears in the macro is the date. If you do nothing, then each time you run TEX to produce a new copy of the file it will put the current date in this place. If you wish to set the date to printed by yourself, then you type
date = { month day, year }
Note the braces around the entry because they have to be there.

Finally, the last thing that has to specified for the pub-block is the pubtype, which is either T, E, or T/E. To specify this quantity you type
pubtype={ publication type }
