[STI.1992.09]     Supplementary TeX Information -- September, 1992

This is the so-called STI (Supplementary TeX Information) file, a supplement
to the ``Frequently Asked Questions'' maintained by Bobby Bodenheimer
for newsgroup "comp.text.tex". Note that there is some duplication of material.
I am grateful to our comp.text.tex audiences for providing your
up-to-date info. This document cannot be useful without your input and support.

Since the issue of August, 1992, this document is sort of restructured so
that it will be easier for you to locate what you are looking for.

This file is monthly (in early days each month) posted to USENET newsgroup
"comp.text.tex" and cross-posted to "news.answers". It is in several parts.
The entire document is reposited in
   CS.NYU.EDU (128.122.140.24)  at ~ftp/pub/tex/
and also in many good archivers, e.g.
   rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.1.12) at the /soft/tex/documentation/
as the file FAQ.supplement-mmm.yy (mmm-yy is the month and year).
In that directory is also the comp.text.tex FAQ.

[1] Major FTP sites for TeX and its friends

[1a] Major FTP sites
  Please bear in mind the geographical location of the site to which you
  intend to ftp.  (This can typically be determined by inspecting the
  last component in the site name.)  Overseas links tend to be slow and
  expensive.  Choose the closest available site.  Most sites discourage
  ftp'ing during normal business hours (local time).

            /mirrors/msdos

     [??? any more ???]

[1c] How to find more sites
    The `archie' server contains file listings for hundreds of ftp sites.
    Telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca [132.206.2.3] and type `archie' when asked
    to log in.  Then type `help'.
    OR, if your system has "archie", a program for querying archie
    anonymous ftp databases using Prospero.

===========================================================================
[2] Mail servers for selected sites.
    When using mail servers, bear several points in mind.
    (a) Follow the instructions carefully.  Each mail server
        accepts a different dialect of commands.  Make sure
        you aren't following server X's instructions when sending
        requests to server Y.
        Mail servers are computer programs and ill-formed requests
        tend to give mail server administrators migraine headaches.
        (I know, I'm one such administrator.)
    (b) Use mail servers only if you cannot obtain the files by
        ftp or other means.
    (c) Requesting large amounts of material via mail servers
        is frowned upon by system administrators.  Overuse of
        mail servers may result in the shutdown of said server.

niord.shsu.edu:
        via automatic FILESERV: include your email mesg to
    [e-mail] with
        sendme <subject>
    Questions go to: George D. Greenwade ([e-mail])

ymir.claremont.edu: [e-mail]
    To retrieve files from ymir via the mailserver, send a message to
    [e-mail] with a line saying

        send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME

    where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans "anonymous") and
    FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt". There is
    a list of files in each directory under the name 00files.txt
    Binary files are not available by this technique.

    HELP
    GET README FIRST TEX
    GET TEX FILELIST

===========================================================================
[3] Systems for TeX and friends

[3a] TeX for Unix boxes
  TeX for Unix is available from the University of Washington. It
  is up-to-date (TeX 3.14t3), contains detailed installation
  instructions and support is available if you have problems. Money
  from the distribution tapes goes towards funding the support
  hotline and future Unix TeX development.

  For more information, contact
    Elizabeth Tachikawa
    Northwest Computing Support Center
    208 Lewis Hall, DW-10
    Seattle, WA 98195
    206-543-6259
    [e-mail]
       ^
       | N.B.

  See also [10] of PART II for other ftp sites for UNIX TeX package.

[3b] Tex for IBM PC
-------------------
 The definitive source for public domain PC TeX-related software is Jon
 Radel.  His catalog which is currently 40 pages long contains several
 versions of TeX for the PC, device drivers, fonts, macros, TUG
 documents, etc.  The physical distribution of the disks has been taken
 over by TUG.  The catalog should be free for the asking.  The final
 determination on prices for disks has not yet been determined, but
 for the moment, software is distributed on 5.25" 360K and 1.2M floppy
 disks.  3.5" disks are available by prior arrangement.  There is a
 charge of $3.50/floppy in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico; $4.00/floppy
 elsewhere.

 Major sources of ftp sites are listed in part [1a] and [10].
 particularly see
    DOSTeX, emTeX, emTeX386, Public TeX, SBTeX and related entries in [10].

[3c] TeX for Macintosh
-----------------------
o Textures (lowercase 'x'):
  Version 2.0 allegedly has many improvements over 1.2.

  A nice system, fast, and well-featured. The editor leaves a
  little to be desired, but with a good DA editors, that's not a big issue.

 "Textures is a mature product, very stable, well supported.  Has a
  very good preview feature.  At around $400 list, it is way too
  expensive.  However, many University bookstores have it for $125."
       -- John Doner ([e-mail]) 4 Dec 90

  If you buy it from the TeX Users Group, they will get the vendor royalty.
     TeX Users Group
     P.O. Box 9506
     Providence, RI 02940-9506
     Phone: [phone]

  The publisher is Blue Sky Research,
  534 SW Third Avenue, Portland, OR 97204.

o OzTeX: You can't beat the price on this one. It's free (public
  domain even). It comes with source, and a web-to-modula2 program.
  The nice (or not) feature of this program is that it uses PK and TFM files
  directly (unlike Textures which bundles them into Mac formats).
  Another nice feature is that OzTeX creates dvi files directly.

  Available via anonymous ftp from:

  midway.uchicago.edu in pub/sources/OzTeX.
  watmsg.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.9) in pub/oztex.
  ymir.claremont.edu (goes without saying)

o DirectTeX: runs under MPW (Apple's development system with a
  command line interface, making it look a bit UNIX-alike.
    It can be found on ftp.uni-stuttgart.de in the directory:
    pub/mac/tex/directtex
  Note that DirectTeX is ShareWare.

x MacTeX: FTL is officially defunct, and MacTeX is no longer available.

o CTeX:  The web2c version ported to the Mac (under MPW).
         Available from ymir and midway.

[4] LaTeX styles and macros

From the issue of March, 1992, we began providing brief information about
main sites that archive LaTeX style files, and some additional info.

guide for searching your desired style files potentially available in
these resources.
Your contributions and comments to this part are especially welcome.

Notice that [e-mail] (David M. Jones) has compiled
a "TeX Index" for TeX styles. Contact him for more info if you cannot

[5] About Metafont, fonts
    Liam R. E. Quin ([e-mail]) posted a digest document about
available Metafont Fonts in comp.text.tex, on 3 May 92 03:48:55 GMT.
Part II section [10] lists some of avail fonts for Metafont in PUBLIC DOMAIN.
See also section [9] for relevant information along with Other-than-English TeX.

CMTTSS package:  includes the METAFONT source files for Arthur Ogawa's
<[e-mail]> family of fixed pitch, sans serif, condensed
fonts.  These fonts are provided in three weights (light, regular, and
bold) and are based on cmbase and cmtt10. To retrieve the package,
ftp Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [FILESERV.CMTTSS].

[6] TeX-related mailing lists

There are two basic classes of mailing lists.  The UNIX-style one
and the BITNET-style one.  For UNIX-style mailing lists, send your
add request to the address provided.  A human being will respond.
For BITNET-style mailing lists, send a message to the LISTSERV address
provided containing the line

    SUB name-of-mailing-list your-name

For example,
    SUB YUNUS Guoying Chen
and a computer program will respond.

You can tell the difference because the UNIX-style ones are just an
address, while the BITNET-style ones have a name plus an address.

cct-Digest:      Good for those without net access. (thanks to
        [e-mail] (George D. Greenwade) )
        Ctt-Digest includes posts made to comp.text.tex, excluding
    (a) posts which got there from INFO-TeX and (b) the
    periodicals which are carried on TeX-Pubs (TeXhax Digest,
    UKTeX Digest, the FAQ and FAQ Supplement, TeXMaG, and TUG's "TeX
    and TUG News").
    The archives of the Digest are retained on Niord.  For the most recent
    month are retained in [.COMP-TEXT-TEX]COMP-TEXT-TEX.yyyy-mm-dd; prior
    archives are in the ZIP files [.COMP-TEXT-TEX.00_COMPRESSED]yy-mm-dd.ZIP;
    indices for each month are in [.COMP-TEXT-TEX]COMP-TEXT-TEX.yyyy-mm-INDEX.

[9] Other-than-English TeX and friends
  From time to time, people ask about the avalaibility of TeX processing
  languages other than English. From this issue (June 1992), we summarize
  all info we have here:

  In standard Unix TeX distribution, it includes the babel package, a
  collection of various language fonts:
    Classical Greek, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Modern Icelandic, Cyrillic,
    Modern Turkish, German (Gothic/Fraktur).

  For other languages, you might want to look at these:
  Arabic:  pylos.nmsu.edu see pub dir.
       see ArabTeX

  Chinese:
       see     pmC -- poorman's Chinese
        cc2tex --
        ChTeX --
       the best sites to find interesting Chinese text processing stuff
       are crl.nmsu.edu (128.123.1.14), pylos.nmsu.edu and ahkcus.org

  Dutch:
       see     dutchsort.bib -- sorts non-English (esp. Dutch) names properly.
        hyphenation (Danish, Dutch, English)

  French:
       see     epelle -- French spelling checker, incl. accents
        hyphenation (French)
  German:
       see  Babel
        German dictionary
        ascii2german.sh -- converts "ae" "oe" "ue" and "ss" to
                   the appropriate German characters
  Greek:
       The latest GreekTeX Package can be found in
       sappho.doc.ic.ac.uk (/pub/tex/kdgreekNEW.tar.Z)
                (146.169.21.14)
         The package allows the usage of LaTeX and includes all the features of
         the Haralambous Package. Note that this fonts are NOT 128 character sets.

          version is 1.7 based on the original TeX 2.99. Its package
          also includes pTeX (publishing TeX) which experimentally
          supports vertical typesetting.
         see  JTeX (NTT JTeX)
          NTT JTeX was originally developed by Mr.Saito of NTT Corp.,
          is now maintained by Mr.Sakurai ([e-mail]).
          The current version is 1.12 based on the original TeX 2.95.

  Korean:  (Hangul)
      What "hlatex" does is to translate KS-Codes to control sequences
      that may be recognized by standard TeX executable.
      [e-mail] (lee.sok_chan) reports:
       you need Korean Editors, Hangul Emulators to using Hangul TeX.
       All Wanted Sources are available from anonymous ftp service supported by

  Claudio Fleiner ([e-mail]) reports his experience in
  using hyphenation-pattersn for different laguages (including accented
  char's) in LaTeX.  The needed files are:
        NFSS:     at ftp.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.1.12]

        DC-Style: at ftp.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.1.12]
                  in soft/tex/latex-styles-supported/nfss-dc

        Hyphenation-Patterns:
            german: included in dc-font
            french: use the INRS-Patterns and convert them for the
                    dc-fonts (you may get them from me
                    ([e-mail])
            italian, spanish:
