Use of TeX and LaTeX within the NTG community, English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 17-18
keywords: !!
abstract: At the 1993 spring meeting of the Dutch TeX User Group (NTG) the NTG Board was asked to find out in what way TeX and LaTeX is used by its members. Main motivation for this question was to find out how important funding of the LaTeX-3 project for the members of NTG is. Therefore it was necessary to have insight in the use of TeX and related products/macro packages. It was decided that the board should held a inquiry among the members and if possible present the results at the fall 1993 meeting. This article describes the results of the survey.

The making of the 4allTeX CD-ROM, English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 19-21
keywords: CD-ROM, 4allTeX, 4TeX, ISO 9660
abstract: In about one half year the world's first turn-key TeX system on CD-ROM was produced. It contains the ms-dos TeX workbench 4TeX version 3.20 in perhaps the largest form ever, plus many TeX sources that are valuable to any TeX user. In this article we present a look behind the scenes, so you get some insight in the course of events that mark the production of NTG's first CD-ROM.

TeX zonder omhaal; voor Atari ST en andere PC's (III), Dutch, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 31-33
keywords: TeXDraw, MIDITeX, MusicTeX, BigTeX, MakeIndex
abstract: TeXDraw wordt getest. Veel Atari ST's worden gebruikt om electronisch muziek te maken, op te nemen (MIDI) en af te drukken in muziekschrift. Dat afdrukken kan ook met TeX. Uitbreidingen van TeX zoals LaTeX, TeXsis en MusicTeX maken het zetwerk makkelijker en mooier, maar TeX heeft ook meer werkruimte nodig. We maken een BigTeX en een trefwoordenregister voor een lange tekst. Deze cursus is een herdruk van een serie artikelen uit het blad ST, uitgegeven door Stichting ST. Daar zijn de in de tekst genoemde schijfjes te verkrijgen.

LaTeX2e, an overview, English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 37-46
keywords: !!
abstract: This article gives an overview of the new or extended user commands available with LaTeX2e, the new LaTeX release, compared to the previous version LaTeX 2.09. After introducing the newpreamble commands, the extensions for defining new commands and environments, and handling length and boxes are discussed. The new font selection commands are explained, both for text and math, and it is shown how to easily use different font families. A list of supported class and package files is given and new possibilities for controlling page contents and floats are discussed. Most of this material is described in much greater detail in `The LaTeX Companion' and in the second edition of the LaTeX Reference Manual.

A brief guide to TeX assistants, English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 53-57
keywords: !!
abstract: This paper offers a `back to basics' overview of the various types of software which are of assistance to the TeXnical writer on a personal computer (this includes Unix machines, but excludes, for instance, VMS or VM/CMS systems). It is based on a presentation to the October UK-TUG meeting, and I am grateful to the other speakers, and our chairman Allan Reese, for insights and news. I would also like to refer readers to the Dutch TeX Group's journal MAPS, whose issue 93.2 contains a variety of useful papers on TeX interfaces (two of which are reproduced in Baskerville Volume 3.2 (December 1993).

Building virtual fonts with `fontinst', English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 58-59
keywords: !!
abstract: This document gives a brief overview of the fontinst package. The fontinst package is used to build virtual fonts (VFs) which allow PostScript fonts to be used as drop-in replacements for the Computer Modern fonts in TeX. Below, I'll describe VFs briefly, and describe how they can be built using the fontinst package.

BLUe's Verbatim, English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 116-118
keywords: education, escape character, formatting, generic style, semi-transparent, verbatim mode
abstract: A suite of macros for verbatim mode is provided, which are simple, concise and flexible. The functionalities are: verbatim text, and file verbatim inclusion, with `options' for numbering and enabling of metacode. Options can be supplied via the toks variable \thisverbatim, and globally via \everyverbatim. The place within context can be handled via the defs \preverbatim and \postverbatim. The macros are context independent and can be used at the inner level with AnyTeX.

TUGboat BLUes, English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 119-150
keywords: block comment, computer-assisted typography, education, eurotex.sty (option), (La)TeX, macro writing, mark up, optional parameters, preprint style, publisher formats, TTN, tugboat.cmn, (l)tugboat.sty, (l)tugproc.sty, two & one-column format, verbatims
abstract: The significance of TUGboat for the TeX community at large is praised. (l)tugboat.sty, tugboat.cmn and the TUG authors' guide are discussed, next to their siblings (l)tugproc.sty and the option eurotex.sty. Article templates for the various `styles as is' are provided. Independent and in addition to these I included customing files. Also included is my concrete proposal for a tug.ppt style-for preprints of tugboat.sty, and tugproc.sty, in the spirit of ams.ppt. Furthermore, a new and simple alternative to the handling of options for TeX is proposed, based on the toks variable \this<foo>, analogous to \every<foo>. This is applied to handling verbatims, with as a result a compact suite of verbatim macros to be used with AnyTeX.

LaTeX2e -- Second Test Release, English, MAPS 12, 1994, pp. 157-158
keywords: !!
abstract: The second test release of LaTeX is now available. Notes about this release are at the end of this announcement. The first release revealed a few serious bugs and several other areas which need attention. Many people reported that documents and style files had been processed by the new system without serious problems; this includes one very important test -- the original text of `The LaTeX Manual'! We can also report that this release has been tested with all the files in the LaTeX 2.09 test suite and produces only predictable differences in the output.
