Thing is that when I run our "Tex" program (through Latex), it did not search files in the current directory. -------- -------- So, I have to tell Tex all the complete path for the input files, and there is a serious problem when "Tex" look for "AUX" file for the cross reference, because it could not find it even if the file was in the current directory after the previous run. It might be a flaw of our"Tex" program. Perhaps, when it was created, search paths were passed on it, but the current directory was omitted. Is there any quick fix, or I have to install brand new Tex program ? Thank you. hkim@pav.research.pansonic.com ------------------------------ From: D Cook Date: Mon, 24 Mar 1997 09:16:52 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Two Columns for two "documents" Dear TeXhax, This may be common knowledge but not, I'm afraid, to me. Is there a cls file or a package which enables one to generate a document in which the pages are two columns over the whole document but the contents of the two columns are basically two different source files? I am thinking of, for example, a document and its translation to another language or a document and a running commentry printed alongside and "in step" with each other. The existing multicolumn methods are basically for re-formatting a single continuous whole and I guess could be made to do what I want but it would be tremendously inconvenient keeping things in step.

I am sure this question has been asked before, but do you know how to create bold lower case Greek letters in math mode? I have done it before in LATEX using \boldmath and \unboldmath but these commands are not available in TEX. thank you for your help mike tracy Boeing Commercial Space Seattle WA ------------------------------ From: reynoldd@ccmail.dcu.ie Date: Mon, 07 Apr 1997 15:42:27 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Writing to Files in Latex2e I would like to be able to write to a file within LateX2e, and can see nothing about this in the LaTeX Companion. I would prefer not to have to revert to the plain TeX commands \write and \shipout unless necessary. In particular, I'm writing macros for a problem sheet, and would like to use a format like \begin{question} What is the capital of UK? \end{question} \begin{solution} London \end{solution} \begin{question} What is the capital of Republic of Ireland? \end{question} \begin{solution} Dublin \end{solution} etc. Certain counters are incremented by the question environment, and I'd like to format the solution using these values before moving on the next question, but not print it there. One way to do this would be to get the solution environment within test.tex to write to another file solution.tex or test.sol, and run LaTeX on this automatically produced file; or just to have the solutions written to the auxiliary file, like references, and cite them all at the end of document. Any suggestions on what would be a good solution and how to implement it would be much appreciated. David Reynolds ------------------------------ From: "Yaroslav S.

Dear all, Is there any program which can remove bitmap-ed cm fonts from PostScript files generated by dvips and add references to type-1 outlines of cm fonts instead? Thanks in advance, Yarick. ------------------------------ From: bbeeton Date: Wed, 09 Apr 1997 09:31:08 -0400 (EDT) Subject: notice regarding tex users group election This notice was sent by email on 5 April 1997 to all TUG members for whom TUG has email addresses. If anyone reading this notice here is a member, but did not already receive a copy by email, please let us know by sending a message to tug@mail.tug.org including your correct, preferred email address. We intend to use email more frequently in the future to communicate with TUG members, and need your help to keep the records up to date. -------------------- Notice regarding 1997 TeX Users Group election The 1997 election for the TeX Users Group Board of Directors has now ended. Since there were fewer nominated candidates than vacant positions, in accordance with the Election Procedures, the candidates who did submit nomination papers are declared elected. No ballots will be circulated. The open positions, as announced, were President and six members of the Board of Directors. The following individuals will be taking positions on the Board of Directors for 4-year terms ending in 2001: Donna Burnette Mimi Jett Patricia Monohon Arthur Ogawa Petr Sojka In the absence of a ballot, the statements of candidacy which would have appeared there will be published instead in TUGboat 18#1. Four Board members whose terms were due to end in 1998 had agreed that they would be willing for their terms to be extended to 1999 to accommodate a change in the election schedule from annually to every two years (see the election announcement, TUGboat 17#3, p.240). Had there been a ballot, their names would have been listed there for confirmation by the membership. However, in the absence of a ballot, it is proposed that, in accordance with the Bylaws (Article VII, Section 10), the incoming President confirm the extension of their terms. These Board members are: Barbara Beeton Karl Berry Judy Johnson Jiri Zlatuska There is no candidate for TUG President. This poses a problem. Although the Bylaws and Election Procedures provide for the filling of vacant Board positions by appointment, no provision exists for the absence of a candidate for President. There is not sufficient time left before the annual meeting in July to solicit additional candidates and circulate ballots. In order to ensure that the necessary decisions are arrived at in a democratic manner, and that the incoming Board has some say in the matters which will affect them most directly, Michel Goossens, the outgoing President, has appointed the new members to the Board for a temporary period effective immediately, to expire when their regular term begins. It is proposed that individuals wishing to present themselves as candidates for President do so in the following manner, with the election be held during the annual TUG business meeting which will take place during the TUG annual meeting in San Francisco (July 28 - August 1). Any TUG member in good standing who will be present at the annual business meeting may submit a valid nomination form and supporting statement (see the announcement in TUGboat 17#3 or the TUG Web pages, http://www.tug.org) no later than Monday, July 28 (the first day of the meeting), and be prepared to present his/her program at the business meeting, (currently scheduled for Thursday, July 31). (All TUG members are reminded that except for certain transactions such as personnel matters, which legally are privileged, Board meetings are open to members as observers.) The Board meeting is scheduled to be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27, at the main meeting site; room details will be posted when available. Candidates for President are encouraged to attend. Nomination forms and supporting documentation should be submitted to the Elections Committee by one of two methods: (1) by July 15, sent to the address below rather than to the address given in the TUGboat announcement, or (2) July 26-28, brought to the meeting and delivered in person to one of the undersigned committee members. If sending forms by mail or fax, please confirm this to the Committee at the email address below; electronic copies of candidates' statements may also be sent to this address any time before the meeting. In order for this business to be transacted legally, at least 50 TUG members must be present to form a quorum (Bylaws, Article III, Section 6). It is therefore very important for members to attend this meeting, in order to help define the future of our organization.
