Gebruik en Management van TeX in een Unix omgeving, Dutch, MAPS 11, 1993, pp. 88-102
keywords: !!
abstract: Een TeX systeem op een Unix systeem omhelst tegenwoordig veel meer dan alleen het gelijknamige programma. Een goed geïntegreerde werkomgeving is mogelijk voor het produceren van een veelzijdig scala aan documenten. We bespreken de structuur van het TeX systeem, de gangbare hulpmiddelen en pakketten eromheen, zoals printer drivers, previewers, font beheer, grafische pakketten, bibliografiebeheer, index beheer, spelling controle e.d. Verder besteden we aandacht aan de beheers- en installatie aspecten ervan, zowel voor een stand-alone systeem als voor een client-server omgeving met eventueel heterogene systemen.

TeX zonder omhaal; voor Atari ST en andere PC's, Dutch, MAPS 11, 1993, pp. 111-114
keywords: !!
abstract: Deze cursus is een vervolg op die in MAPS 93.1. Na een inleiding in het eerste hoofdstuk werden toen in de volgende hoofdstukken behandeld: Boxen, METAFONT en PostScript, Figuren en een vreemd alfabet, en tot slot INITEX en INIMF. In deze bijdrage vervolgen we met hoofdstuk 6: het maken van een mooie brief, niet via `boxen' in TeX maar m.b.v. LaTeX. In hoofdstuk 7 bekijken we de `artikel-stijl', waarschijnlijk de meest gebruikte vorm van TeX. Dat leidt tot een vergelijking van TeX en LaTeX. En tot een alternatief: TeXsis. Deze cursus is een herdruk van een serie artikelen in het blad ST uitgegeven door Stichting ST. Daar zijn de in de tekst genoemde schijfjes te verkrijgen.

Frequently Asked Questions about emTeX, English, MAPS 11, 1993, pp. 126-127
keywords: FAQ, frequently asked questions
abstract: This is an edited version of a document called emTeX-user Frequently Asked Questions. Eberhard Mattes sent this document on october 3rd, 1993 to the emtex-user list. In the community of dutch TeX-users emTeX is widely spread. So questions to the list are probably also valuable for many emTeX-users without direct access to the list.

The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), English, MAPS 11, 1993, pp. 133-140
keywords: CTAN, archives, FTP
abstract: This paper outlines the concept, development, and use of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) -- a network-accessible archive for files related to the TeX family of document processing. The CTAN is a coordinated effort among consenting well-known archive sites which provides quick identification and retrieval files in a consistent manner from hosts on different continents, thereby reducing overall network load and increasing speed of retrieval. Moreover, it provides users with a parallel archive structure between hosts with holdings which are generally synchronized to within 30 hours of one another. This is achieved by routinely mirroring one another's holdings, as well as mirroring other archives to maintain an up-to-date collection of files.

A Future for TeX, English, MAPS 11, 1993, pp. 163-166
keywords: !!
abstract: The future of TeX is invisibility. The role of TeX should be similar to that of the microprocessor in a PC. The microprocessor is the heart of the system, but is completely invisible except for the sticker which says `intel inside.' TeX must be made invisible with appropriate front-ends. These front-ends should emphasize the manipulation of content over appearance and reverse the trend toward WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interfaces with their emphasis on manipulation of appearance. Content-oriented interfaces provide far greater user productivity than WYSIWYG systems, and TeX is the ideal basis for such systems.

Scientific Word,... een eerste indruk, Dutch, MAPS 11, 1993, pp. 167-170
keywords: !!
abstract: Eind 1992 kreeg ik een beta-versie van Scientific Word in de bus. Dhr. Kruger was toen zo vriendelijk om mij dit pakket toe te sturen ter evaluatie. Hierna volgt het rapport(je) met mijn bevindingen dat ik hem destijds toestuurde. Zonder twijfel is het product inmiddels verder geëvalueerd en zijn mijn bevindingen dan ook hoogswaarschijnlijk niet echt meer `up to date'.

The ease of including graphics in TeX documents using 4TeX, English, MAPS 11, 1993, pp. 171-176
keywords: !!
abstract: In this paper we will show how 4TeX can be used to incorporate graphics in TeX documents. Using 4TeX it not only becomes easy to include graphics in TeX files, but also makes it possible to preview and print TeX documents (including graphics) on any machine and any printer. For inserting graphics in TeX documents, 4TeX uses the style file figures.sty, the shareware programs TEXCAD and GRAPHIC WORKSHOP, and the freeware programs: HP2XX, BM2FONT,PCLTOMSP, and GHOSTSCRIPT. All these programs are discussed and we also discuss how 4TeX uses the strength of these programs to incorporate graphics in TeX documents.

Each year, WKAP publishes approximately 200 scientific journals and about 500 books (in reality, 200 scientific journal titles translates into some 1200 journal issues).
