Comp.text.tex is a forum for the discussion of TeX, LaTeX and other
related things. TeX is a software system written by Donald Knuth to
typeset text, especially text containing mathematics. LaTeX is a set
of macros written in TeX, designed to simplify the the typesetting of
a document by allowing the user to concentrate on the content and
structure of the document rather than the exact appearance of the
finished product. METAFONT, also discussed here, is a program which
allows the user to design their own fonts. The definitive reference
for TeX is _The TeXbook_, by Donald Knuth (Addison Wesley, 1984, ISBN
0-201-13447-0, paperback 0-201-13448-9). For LaTeX, see _LaTeX, a
Document Preparation System_ by Leslie Lamport (Addison Wesley, 1986,
ISBN 0-201-15790-X). For METAFONT, see _The METAFONTbook_ by Donald
Knuth (Addison Wesley, 1984, ISBN 0-201-13445-4).
This article contains answers to some frequently asked questions on
comp.text.tex. Please don't ask these questions again, as they've been
answered many times before. Note that Guoying Chen
(chenguo@spunky.cs.nyu.edu) posts the monthly document ``Supplementary

If you are looking, for instance, for the answer to question 17, and wish
to skip everything else, you can search ahead for the regular expression
``^17)''.
These are all legitimate questions, but they seem to appear too
frequently for long-time readers of the list.
Many of the answers below tell you that you can obtain something
through anonymous ftp. ``Ftp'' stands for file transfer protocol, and
is also the name of a program implementing the protocol. The program
allows users to transfer files to and from remote sites, if the sites
are connected via a network such as the Internet. ``Anonymous ftp''
indicates a user may connect to a remote site as the user
``anonymous'' with a password consisting of their email address, and
thus be able to retrieve files from that site. Remember, anonymous
ftp is a privilege and the system administrators for these sites
have made these files available out of their own generosity. Therefore
please restrict your ftp'ing to non-prime hours at the various sites.
I would like to acknowledge Don Hosek, Ken Yap, Tomas Rokicki, and
Micah Beck, whose postings provided many of the answers. Joe Weening,
Hal Perkins, Walter Carlip, Max Hailpern, Tad Guy, Raymond Chen,
Henning Schulzrinne, Sebastian Rahtz, Mark James, Peter Galko, Mike
Ernst, Rainer Sch\"opf, Oren Patashnik, Philippe Louarn, Rafal
Zbikowski, Anita Marie Hoover, David Rhead, Darrell McCauley, Cameron
Smith, and Emma Pease provided additional material and criticisms. The
format of this document is based on the Frequently Asked Questions
appearing in comp.unix.wizards, and written by Steve Hayman. Any
mistakes are mine. Send corrections, suggestions, and additions to
bobby@hot.caltech.edu.
1) How can I get a copy of this article?
You're reading it aren't you? SAVE it :-). Seriously, though, this
article is posted monthly to comp.text.tex and cross-posted to
news.answers. It is therefore archived at any site that archives
news.answers. News.answers is archived on pit-manager.mit.edu
(18.172.1.27), and this article is available there via anonymous ftp
in the directory ./pub/usenet/news.answers/tex-faq. If you do not
have anonymous ftp, send an e-mail message containing the lines
``SENDME FAQ.'' to fileserv@shsu.edu (fileserv@shsu.bitnet). Another
way to retrieve it via email is through the mailserver at pit-manager:
send a message containing the lines ``help'' and ``index'' to
mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu for information on how to obtain it.
Other news.answers/FAQ archives are: cnam.cnam.fr (192.33.159.6) in
the anonymous ftp directory /pub/FAQ; ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.2 or
192.48.96.2) in the anonymous ftp directory /pub/usenet (also
available via mail server requests to netlib@uunet.uu.net, or via
uunet's 1-900 anonymous UUCP phone number); and ftp.cs.ruu.nl
(131.211.80.17) in the anonymous ftp directory NEWS.ANSWERS (also
accessible via mail server requests to mail-server@cs.ruu.nl). Many
of the archives mentioned in question 22 also maintain current
versions of this article.
2) Where can I get a DVI to PostScript conversion program?
Two very nice DVI to PostScript conversion programs that run
under Unix are:
dvips - by Tomas Rokicki. This driver is very nice and
has the ability to deal with virtual fonts. Available
via anonymous ftp from labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47)
in ./pub. Dvips ports easily to other operating systems.
It is available for VMS via anonymous ftp from
ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in [.tex.drivers.dvips_new]
and also through the DECUS library (see question 22). A
precompiled version for MSDOS is available from
monu1.cc.monash.edu.au (130.194.1.101) in ./pub/dvips54.zip
or from shape.mps.ohio-state.edu (128.146.7.200) in
./pub/msdos/dvips/dvips54.zip. If you wish to use postscript
fonts, get dvipslib.zip as well. Documentation is available
in dvips.ps.Z.
dvitops - by James Clark. Available via anonymous ftp from
ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in [anonymous.tex.drivers.dvitops].
Dvitops will compile under Unix, MSDOS, VMS, and Primos.
3) How can I include a PostScript figure in LaTeX?
Perhaps the best way to do this is to use the psfig macros written
by Trevor Darrell. They are available via anonymous ftp from
whitechapel.media.mit.edu (18.85.0.125) in ./pub/psfig. You
will also need a dvi to PostScript conversion program that supports
\specials. The ones mentioned in question 2 do, and the first two
drivers come with a version of psfig ready to use with them. The psfig
macros work best with Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS). In
particular, psfig will need the file to have a BoundingBox (see
Appendix C of the _PostScript Language Reference Manual_). If you
don't have an EPS file, life can be difficult. For people who don't
have ftp access or can't deal with tar files, the files are also
available from ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in
[anonymous.tex.graphics.psfig].
One further note about including PostScript figures is that they
are not part of the dvi file, but are included when you use a dvi
to PostScript conversion program. As a result, most dvi previewers
will simply show the blank space TeX has reserved for your figure,
not the figure itself.
4) Where can I find a DVI previewer for machine Y running Q?
This briefly lists some previewers available via anonymous ftp:
dvipage - For SunView. This was published in volume 15 of
comp.sources.unix and is available at sites that archive
this. One such source is archive.cis.ohio-state.edu
(128.146.8.52).
xtex - For the X Window System. Available via anonymous ftp
from ftp.cs.colorado.edu (128.138.243.151) in
./pub/cs/misc/SeeTeX/SeeTeX/SeeTeX-*.tar.Z.
dviapollo- for Apollo Domain. Available via anonymous ftp from
labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47) in ./pub/dviapollo.tar.Z.
dvidis - For VAXstation VWS. Available via anonymous ftp from
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1) in /packages/tex/dviware/dvidis.
xdvi - Also for the X Window System. Available via anonymous ftp
from export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12) in ./contrib/xdvi.tar.Z.
dvitovdu - for Tektronix 4010 and other terminals under Unix.
Available via anonymous ftp from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
(192.88.110.20) in the directory pd6:<unix-c.printers> as
dvi2vdu.tar-z (ftp in ``tenex'' mode). A C version is also
available from ymir.claremont.edu (134.173.4.23) in
[anonymous.tex.drivers.dvitovdu_c_1].
dvi2tty - A dvi to ASCII conversion program, for normal terminals.
Available from ftp.cs.ruu.nl (131.211.80.17) in
./pub/TEX/DVI/dvi2tty.shar. A VMS version is available from
fileserv@shsu.edu (see question 22).
texsgi - For SGI under Irix. Available via anonymous ftp from
ftp.brl.mil (128.63.16.158) in ./info-iris/tex. Both a binary
and source are available, but be sure to get the fonts as well.
5) Where can I get the manual for PiCTeX?
The PiCTeX manual is not free. It is available for $30 ($35 with the
disk) from the TeX Users Group:
TeX Users Group
P. O. Box 9506
Providence, RI 02940 (USA)
401-751-7760
tug@math.ams.com
The proceeds from this sale go to Michael Wichura, the author of PiCTeX,
and TUG.
6) What is VorTeX and where can I get it?
VorTeX is a package of programs written at the University of California.
It includes several nice previewers and some Emacs modes for TeX and
BibTeX. It is not free. Inquiries should be directed to
vortex@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu or
Professor Michael A. Harrison
Att. Vortex Dist.
Computer Science Division
University of California
Berkeley, CA 94720
Actually, the emacs modes are freely available separate from VorTeX
itself. They are available via anonymous ftp as vortex-macros.tar.Z
from a.cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.252.1) in ./pub/TeX.
7) What is OzTeX and where can I get it (TeX for the Mac)?
OzTeX is a public domain version of TeX for the Macintosh. A DVI
Previewer and PostScript driver are also included. It should run on
any Macintosh Plus, SE, II, or newer model, but will not work on a
128K or 512K Mac. It was written by Andrew Trevorrow, and is available
via anonymous ftp from from midway.uchicago.edu (128.135.12.73) in
./pub/OzTeX, which contains other public domain TeX-related software
for the Mac as well, or on a floppy disk from TUG (see question 11).
Questions about OzTeX may be directed to oztex@midway.uchicago.edu.
8) What is Fig and where can I get it?
Fig is a menu driven tool similar to MacDraw that allows you to
draw objects on the screen of a Sun Workstation running SunView.
TransFig is a set of tools which translate the code fig produces
to other graphics languages including PostScript and the LaTeX
picture environment. Both are available via anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.cornell.edu (128.84.218.75) in ./pub/fig. Both Fig and
TransFig are also available from the Clarkson archive server at
sun.soe.clarkson.edu (see question 22). Both Fig and TransFig
are supported by Micah Beck (beck@cs.cornell.edu).
XFig is essentially the same program except it runs under the
X Window System. It is available via anonymous ftp from
export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12) in
./contrib/R5fixes/xfig-patches/xfig-2.1.*.Z. It was written by
