- Comp.text.tex is a forum for the discussion of TeX, LaTeX and other
- related things. TeX is a software system written by Donald Knuth to
- typeset text, especially text containing mathematics. LaTeX is a set
- of macros written in TeX, designed to simplify the the typesetting of
- a document by allowing the user to concentrate on the content and
- structure of the document rather than the exact appearance of the
- finished product. METAFONT, also discussed here, is a program which
- allows the user to design their own fonts. The definitive reference
- for TeX is _The TeXbook_, by Donald Knuth (Addison Wesley, 1984, ISBN
- 0-201-13447-0, paperback 0-201-13448-9). For LaTeX, see _LaTeX, a
- Document Preparation System_ by Leslie Lamport (Addison Wesley, 1986,
- ISBN 0-201-15790-X). For METAFONT, see _The METAFONTbook_ by Donald
- Knuth (Addison Wesley, 1984, ISBN 0-201-13445-4).
-
- This article contains answers to some frequently asked questions on
- comp.text.tex. Please don't ask these questions again, as they've been
- answered many times before. Note that Guoying Chen
- (chenguo@spunky.cs.nyu.edu) posts the monthly document ``Supplementary
- TeX Information'' to this newsgroup containing other information and
- software relevant to TeX users but beyond the scope of this article.

-
- If you are looking, for instance, for the answer to question 17, and wish
- to skip everything else, you can search ahead for the regular expression
- ``^17)''.
-
- These are all legitimate questions, but they seem to appear too
- frequently for long-time readers of the list.
-
- Many of the answers below tell you that you can obtain something
- through anonymous ftp. ``Ftp'' stands for file transfer protocol, and
- is also the name of a program implementing the protocol. The program
- allows users to transfer files to and from remote sites, if the sites
- are connected via a network such as the Internet. ``Anonymous ftp''
- indicates a user may connect to a remote site as the user
- ``anonymous'' with a password consisting of their email address, and
- thus be able to retrieve files from that site. Remember, anonymous
- ftp is a privilege and the system administrators for these sites
- have made these files available out of their own generosity. Therefore
- please restrict your ftp'ing to non-prime hours at the various sites.
-
- I would like to acknowledge Don Hosek, Ken Yap, Tomas Rokicki, and
- Micah Beck, whose postings provided many of the answers. Joe Weening,
- Hal Perkins, Walter Carlip, Max Hailpern, Tad Guy, Raymond Chen,
- Henning Schulzrinne, Sebastian Rahtz, Mark James, Peter Galko, Mike
- Ernst, Rainer Sch\"opf, Oren Patashnik, Philippe Louarn, Rafal
- Zbikowski, Anita Marie Hoover, David Rhead, Darrell McCauley, Cameron
- Smith, and Emma Pease provided additional material and criticisms. The
- format of this document is based on the Frequently Asked Questions
- appearing in comp.unix.wizards, and written by Steve Hayman. Any
- mistakes are mine. Send corrections, suggestions, and additions to
- bobby@hot.caltech.edu.
-
- 1) How can I get a copy of this article?
-
- You're reading it aren't you? SAVE it :-). Seriously, though, this
- article is posted monthly to comp.text.tex and cross-posted to
- news.answers. It is therefore archived at any site that archives
- news.answers. News.answers is archived on pit-manager.mit.edu
- (18.172.1.27), and this article is available there via anonymous ftp
- in the directory ./pub/usenet/news.answers/tex-faq. If you do not
- have anonymous ftp, send an e-mail message containing the lines
- ``SENDME FAQ.'' to fileserv@shsu.edu (fileserv@shsu.bitnet). Another
- way to retrieve it via email is through the mailserver at pit-manager:
- send a message containing the lines ``help'' and ``index'' to
- mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu for information on how to obtain it.
-
- Other news.answers/FAQ archives are: cnam.cnam.fr (192.33.159.6) in
- the anonymous ftp directory /pub/FAQ; ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.2 or
- 192.48.96.2) in the anonymous ftp directory /pub/usenet (also
- available via mail server requests to netlib@uunet.uu.net, or via
- uunet's 1-900 anonymous UUCP phone number); and ftp.cs.ruu.nl
- (131.211.80.17) in the anonymous ftp directory NEWS.ANSWERS (also
- accessible via mail server requests to mail-server@cs.ruu.nl). Many
- of the archives mentioned in question 22 also maintain current
- versions of this article.
-
- 2) Where can I get a DVI to PostScript conversion program?
-
- Two very nice DVI to PostScript conversion programs that run
- under Unix are:
- dvips - by Tomas Rokicki. This driver is very nice and
- has the ability to deal with virtual fonts. Available
- via anonymous ftp from labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47)
- in ./pub. Dvips ports easily to other operating systems.
- It is available for VMS via anonymous ftp from
- ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in [.tex.drivers.dvips_new]
- and also through the DECUS library (see question 22). A
- precompiled version for MSDOS is available from
- monu1.cc.monash.edu.au (130.194.1.101) in ./pub/dvips54.zip
- or from shape.mps.ohio-state.edu (128.146.7.200) in
- ./pub/msdos/dvips/dvips54.zip. If you wish to use postscript
- fonts, get dvipslib.zip as well. Documentation is available
- in dvips.ps.Z.
- dvitops - by James Clark. Available via anonymous ftp from
- ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in [anonymous.tex.drivers.dvitops].
- Dvitops will compile under Unix, MSDOS, VMS, and Primos.
-
- 3) How can I include a PostScript figure in LaTeX?
-
- Perhaps the best way to do this is to use the psfig macros written
- by Trevor Darrell. They are available via anonymous ftp from
- whitechapel.media.mit.edu (18.85.0.125) in ./pub/psfig. You
- will also need a dvi to PostScript conversion program that supports
- \specials. The ones mentioned in question 2 do, and the first two
- drivers come with a version of psfig ready to use with them. The psfig
- macros work best with Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS). In
- particular, psfig will need the file to have a BoundingBox (see
- Appendix C of the _PostScript Language Reference Manual_). If you
- don't have an EPS file, life can be difficult. For people who don't
- have ftp access or can't deal with tar files, the files are also
- available from ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in
- [anonymous.tex.graphics.psfig].
-
- One further note about including PostScript figures is that they
- are not part of the dvi file, but are included when you use a dvi
- to PostScript conversion program. As a result, most dvi previewers
- will simply show the blank space TeX has reserved for your figure,
- not the figure itself.
-
- 4) Where can I find a DVI previewer for machine Y running Q?
-
- This briefly lists some previewers available via anonymous ftp:
- dvipage - For SunView. This was published in volume 15 of
- comp.sources.unix and is available at sites that archive
- this. One such source is archive.cis.ohio-state.edu
- (128.146.8.52).
- xtex - For the X Window System. Available via anonymous ftp
- from ftp.cs.colorado.edu (128.138.243.151) in
- ./pub/cs/misc/SeeTeX/SeeTeX/SeeTeX-*.tar.Z.
- dviapollo- for Apollo Domain. Available via anonymous ftp from
- labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47) in ./pub/dviapollo.tar.Z.
- dvidis - For VAXstation VWS. Available via anonymous ftp from
- src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1) in /packages/tex/dviware/dvidis.
- xdvi - Also for the X Window System. Available via anonymous ftp
- from export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12) in ./contrib/xdvi.tar.Z.
- dvitovdu - for Tektronix 4010 and other terminals under Unix.
- Available via anonymous ftp from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
- (192.88.110.20) in the directory pd6:<unix-c.printers> as
- dvi2vdu.tar-z (ftp in ``tenex'' mode). A C version is also
- available from ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in
- [anonymous.tex.drivers.dvitovdu_c_1].
- dvi2tty - A dvi to ASCII conversion program, for normal terminals.
- Available from ftp.cs.ruu.nl (131.211.80.17) in
- ./pub/TEX/DVI/dvi2tty.shar. A VMS version is available from
- fileserv@shsu.edu (see question 22).
- texsgi - For SGI under Irix. Available via anonymous ftp from
- ftp.brl.mil (128.63.16.158) in ./info-iris/tex. Both a binary
- and source are available, but be sure to get the fonts as well.
-
- 5) Where can I get the manual for PiCTeX?
-
- The PiCTeX manual is not free. It is available for $30 ($35 with the
- disk) from the TeX Users Group:
- TeX Users Group
- P. O. Box 9506
- Providence, RI 02940 (USA)
- 401-751-7760
- tug@math.ams.com
-
- The proceeds from this sale go to Michael Wichura, the author of PiCTeX,
- and TUG.
-
- 6) What is VorTeX and where can I get it?
-
- VorTeX is a package of programs written at the University of California.
- It includes several nice previewers and some Emacs modes for TeX and
