- The following two packages for making slides support color postscript
- specials. I believe that both are configured to work with dvips by
- default.
-
- Name: seminar.sty
- Archive-path: macros/latex/styles/contrib/seminar/inputs/seminar.sty
- Description: LaTeX document style for slides and notes.
- Keywords: LaTeX, slides
- Author: Timothy Van Zandt <tvz@Princeton.EDU>
- Supported: yes
- Latest Version: v0.92, 8 May 1992
- Archives: princeton.edu* [128.112.128.1], shsu

- Name: FoilTeX
- Description: FoilTeX is a LaTeX-like macro package (and misc. other
- files) for making transparencies (foils, slides, etc.). It is
- fundamentally similar to SliTeX but has some major structural
- differences.
- Keywords: FoilTeX, LaTeX, dvips, slides
- Author: James (Jim) Hafner, IBM Research Division, Almaden Research
- Center <hafner@almaden.ibm.com> or <hafner@almaden.bitnet>
- Supported: yes
- Latest Version: v1.0.1, 25 Aug 1992
- Archives: ymir, aston, stuttgart
- Note: Package includes a readme file (README.flt), a user's manual
- (foildoc.tex (q.v.)), and sample file (sampfoil.tex (q.v.)).
- See also: colordvi.tex, blackdvi.tex
-
- Name: colordvi.tex
- Description: Style file for putting color in FoilTeX, LaTeX, or any
- other TeX documents. It use device independent (but driver
- dependent) \special keywords and syntax. Fully compatible with
- Rokicki's dvips driver and TeXView on the NeXT. Blackdvi.tex (q.v.)
- can be is used to no-op all the color macros defined in
- colordvi.[tex,sty] for easy black/white printing. The color names
- are generally derived from the Crayola crayon box of 64 colors.
- Keywords: FoilTeX, dvips, color
- Author: James (Jim) Hafner, IBM Research Division, Almaden Research
- Center <hafner@almaden.ibm.com> or <hafner@almaden.bitnet>
- Supported: yes
- Latest Version: v1.0, 21 Aug 1992
- Archives: ymir, aston, stuttgart
- See also: FoilTeX, blackdvi.tex
- Note: This file is a duplicate (or should be) of the file with the same
- name distributed with Rokicki's dvips driver. They are included
- here with his permission. Parts of FoilTeX have been built with
- colordvi.tex and blackdvi.tex in mind so it is fully compatible with
- that driver for multicolor one-pass printing. New versions from
- Rokicki should always take precedence over those distributed with
- FoilTeX.

- The above information is taken from the TeX Macro Index, version 1.06,
- available via anonymous ftp and mail server from theory.lcs.mit.edu

- a message containing the line "send tex TeX-index" to
