Enige Suggesties aan de Redactie van de MAPS, Dutch, MAPS 7, 1991, pp. 39-40
keywords: MAPS-redactie
abstract: De functie van de MAPS wordt belicht en gerelateerd aan hoe dat te verwezenlijken. Punten aangestipt zijn: onjuiste afbrekingen, slecht-ogende automatische uitvullingen, en typos. Voorgestelde oplossing geen referee-mechanisme maar duidelijk aan de auteurs geven van wat van ze verwacht wordt plus overgaan op de nieuwere tools. Structureel is het te late verschijnen voorkomen vanwege het notulen-aspect: geen notulen geen vergadering.

6th European TeX Conference, English, MAPS 7, 1991, pp. 71-75
keywords: EuroTeX, conference, Paris
abstract: -- User groups:
CyrTUG is bound to become important. CSTUG prospers. HunTUG is modest. The Poles can't get organized. Yunus is only a list. The other five just go on.
-- Panels:
TeX in Europe, how can we obtain better acceptance? LaTeX3: impressive history, no release dates of yet.
-- Presentations:
Zlatuska's ACCENTS processor, for automatic generation of accented virtual fonts for European languages from English input fonts in the TeX font layout, looks promising.
-- Publishing houses:
MIR is involved. Springer is active and has some user guides out for a pilot journal. The Czech scientific journals are all formatted by TeX!
-- Products:
LAMSTeX is still going public. Very promising though, especially the wizards manual.

Ladies and LaTeX, English, MAPS 7, 1991, pp. 102-104
keywords: LaTeX, non-scientists, simplification
abstract: This paper describes the use of LaTeX by non-astronomers at the Kapteyn Institute.

Also, the astronomers took over tricks from the ladies, simplifying their lives, too.

The TUGLIB Server, English, MAPS 7, 1991, pp. 117-123
keywords: TUGLIB, ftp, mail, Internet
abstract: Scores of sites on the worldwide Internet now provide access to assorted collections of software relating to TeX and METAFONT. In many cases, these are accessible only via the Internet mechanism known as anonymous ftp, a scheme that permits logins from unknown users, usually on other machines, with very restricted access. The name ftp is an acronym for file transfer protocol. To improve the access to the TeX archives and other software at Utah, I have installed `tuglib'. This server provides a means whereby remote users can send electronic mail messages containing service requests to a daemon program. The daemon parses the requests, logs them, and responds to them.
