@Article{Bruggemann-Klein:TB8-2-193,
author = "Anne Br{\"{u}}ggemann-Klein",
title = "{{First line special handling with \TeX}}",
journal = TUGboat,
year = "1987",
volume = "8",
number = "2",
pages = "193",
month = Jul,
}
It's a fascinating article, there you can see where the limits of TeX
_really_ are. As far as I know, the macros are not available on line.
Anne has stopped working in the TeX arena, so it will also not be of
much use asking her.
