The only thing you have to do is to scale any imported postscript figures slightly differently (by 5/6 as pspicture does). Used with 10pt it typesets nearly the same as 12pt A4, just that you get two fat columns. View and print the document in landscape. Tony Professor A.J.

I am interested, in particular in C++, Ada and C, in that order. I am particularly interested because I cannot create a procedure decl rule for tgrind which will reliably find all procedure decls, and ONLY procedure decls. My current problem is that, in C++, foo () : bar { is seen as two nested procedures, not one. If tgrind is still the best thing around, then I will extend its rule language to handle this construct correctly. However, I don't want to do this if there is something better out there. Comments?

The problems we are experiencing are - -- TeX cannot open a TeX file in the current directory, even though it could on the last run. - -- cannot write to xxx.log - -- cannot write to xxx.dvi - -- cannot open/write to xxx.aux Usually the first such error causes TeX to enter its infinite loop, and a reboot is essential, as any other filename gives the same result. Note also that the problem occurs even when working on c: with megabytes to spare, and neither temp nor tmp pointing at the network drives. When the problem occurs in a DOS shell from MS Windows, an attempt at exiting from windows causes a shutdown, as DOS says it has run out of file handles. We start with files=48 (+16) on our network. Any help would be much appreciated!
