Subject: HARVARD family of bibliographic styles on FILESERV
Keywords: bibliographic styles, HARVARD

Peter Williams has patiently worked with me as I have gotten his HARVARD
family of bibliographic styles arranged as a package for FILESERV/Niord.
While these meet the specific needs of the bibliographic styles indicated,
his extension of \citeasnoun in HARVARD.STY which is passed along for
processing in BeaST language is interesting and quite useful.  The
HARVARD.TEX and HARVARD.BIB files provides excellent documentation for this
family of new files, which are consistent with BibTeX 0.99a or later.

Attached is the description file FILESERV will maintain for this package.
I extend my thanks to Peter for his efforts.

The HARVARD package includes the 6 files of Peter Williams'
<peterw@archsci.arch.su.OZ.AU> Harvard family of bibliographic styles.
There are two primary forms of citation in the Harvard style, dependent
upon whether the reference is used as a noun or parenthetically.  To
facilitate using a citation as a noun a new command \citeasnoun has been
created which has the same syntax as the \cite command except that multiple
citations are not permitted.  Additionally, where there are more than two
authors, all authors are listed in the first citation and in subsequent
citations just the first author's name followed by `et al.' is used. Where
appropriate, citations are abbreviated automatically after the first
reference when bibliographies are produced by BibTeX.  Provision is also
made for this feature to be accessed during manual coding.

There are three bibliography styles currently available within the Harvard
family, AGSM (which is based on "Style Manual for authors editors and
printers of Australian government publications"), DCU (which is based upon
the conventions in use in the Design Computing Unit, Department of
Architectural and Design Science, University of Sydney), and KLUWER (which
aspires to conform to the requirements of Kluwer Academic Publishers).
They are invoked by the \bibliographystyle within LaTeX and effect the
layout of the entries in the bibliography.

You may retrive the entire package of six files by including the command:
 SENDME HARVARD
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only need one file, say, HARVARD.DCU_STY,
include the command:
 SENDME HARVARD.DCU_STY
in your request to FILESERV.  These files are available for anonymous ftp
retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [.HARVARD].

Files in this package: (1 Block = 512 bytes)

Subject: Tex Question about underscore
Keywords: TeX, underscore

Hello,

I am not sure if this is a correct procedure.  If it is not, please
inform me of your usual way of handling enquiries.  Basically, I have a
question on Tex and I am told that this is an adress where I may be
able to get some help from Tex experts.

The problem I have is that I am typing a document in which _
(underscore) is used many times outside of math mode.  It is proving to
be very awkward to continually type \_.  I would like to be able to use
_ outside of math mode and have it print as _.  At the same time, I
wish it to keep its usual meaning (of subscript) inside mathmode.  I
note that verbatim mode is not what I need either because I am using
the _'s inside normal English text, not as part of a computer program.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

		Ivor R. Philips

Subject: e-MATH.ams.com update
Keywords: AMS Update

A new version of AMSPPT.STY for use with AMS-TeX v2.1 is now available
on e-MATH.ams.com (130.44.1.100) for anonymous FTP in /ams/amstex/amsppt.sty.
This new version of AMSPPT.STY fixes several bugs reported to the AMS over
the past several months.  Details of these bug fixes can be found in the
file /ams/amstex/amstex.bug.

In addition, AMS-LaTeX v1.1 has been tested to be compatible with the
newest version of the font selection scheme for LaTeX.  The most current
version of the NFSS can also be found on e-MATH in /ams/amslatex/fontsel,
and the most recent versions of latex.tex, lplain.tex, and lhyphen.tex
can be found in /ams/amslatex/latex.

As always, please report any problem with these or any other AMS-supported
TeX products to the Internet address Tech-Support@math.ams.com.

Subject: IMPORTANT: Problem with letter document style: LaTeX release of Jan 92
Keywords: LaTeX, problem, letter document style

The letter document style dated 5-Nov-91, contained in the Jan92
release of LaTeX has a severe problem: the spacing of the list
environment and friends will come out wrong. The same problem appears
in all document styles and style options that redefine the
\begin{document} command. It is necessary to add the control sequence

   \@noskipsecfalse

to the end of the definition of the \document macro.

I append a diff to this message, so that you can update letter.doc,
letter.sty, and latex.bug.

The updated files will be available in the archives during next week.

From: "George D. Greenwade" <bed_gdg@SHSU.edu>
Subject: dcolumn.sty -- decimal alignment in tabular and array
Keywords: dcolumn.sty

David Carlisle <carlisle@computer-science.manchester.ac.uk> kindly
forwarded me his new dcolumn.sty, which defines D to be an array or tabular
column lined up on a `decimal point'.  David understands (and I can report
from experience) that the existing decalign.sty does not work within the
context of Frank Mittelbach's array.sty (the existing dectab.sty is
inconsistent, at least in my experience).

There is user-level control over the separator used in the .tex file, and
in the printed output (i.e, it may be defined to any character, not
necessarily only ``.'').  This style is a creative example of the
\newcolumn system for defining new column types set up in David's
newarray.sty (which is required for the use of dcolumn, was also recently
announced, and is available from here as well, should you need it).  To
retrieve dcolumn.sty, include the command:
 SENDME STY.DCOLUMN
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).

If you need [a] newarray.sty, [b] Mittelbach's array package to create his
array.sty (both are required to use dcolumn), or [c] the doc.sty file from
Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf's multicol package (needed to create
the documentation for all of the above), include the respective commands
shown below on unique lines of your mail message to FILESERV:
 SENDME STY.NEWARRAY
 SENDME ARRAY
 SENDME MULTICOL.DOC_STY

For anonymous ftp users, the files are on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) as
[.STY]STY.DCOLUMN, [.STY]STY.NEWARRAY, all files in the [.ARRAY] directory,
and [.MULTICOL]MULTICOL.DOC_STY.
