UK TeX Archive bonus disks for emTeX --- February 1993
------------------------------------------------------

The UK TeX Archive distributes copies of emTeX with a series of extra
`bonus' disks   containing commonly-requested bits of software and
macros. This note describes the second release of these extra packages,
of February 1993.

There are 6 packages which provide some of the commonly-requested
facilities. These are not as well-tested or documented as emTeX
itself, but are packaged in exactly the same way, and should be useful
to many PC-based TeX users. All these packages are supplied as .zip
archives (BOO-encoded) which are unpacked following the same procedure
as the emTeX ones.  A .REM file is supplied for use with the `remove'
utility.

The packages are:

bm2font Bitmap to Font. Program by Friedhelm Sowa to convert eg .PCX
   files to \TeX\ .pk fonts for inclusion in \TeX\ documents. version
   2.0, February 1993.

dvips Tom Rokicki's dvips program, to translate .dvi files to
  PostScript, in normal and Windows versions.  TeX font metric files
  are provided for the standard PostScipt fonts. The program source is
  in a separate package (dvipssrc). This is version 5.499

morebin A selection of useful ancillary programs.

   wp2latex  WordPerfect 5.0 to \LaTeX\ translator 
   dvi2tty   ASCII viewer for dvi files 
   dviselec  Write a subset of a dvi file to a new dvi file
   dvidvi    Rearrange pages of a dvi file
   dviconca  Join dvi files together
   dvibook   Rearrange pages of a dvi file

newlatex The current version of em\TeX\ is slightly out of date with
  respect to \LaTeX. This package provides new copies of all the
  \LaTeX\ files for those who wish to be totally up to date. It also
  includes all the `Mainz' packages developed Frank Mittelbach and
  Rainer Sch\"opf (array, multicol, theorem, verbatim, ftnright), and
  the New Font Selection Scheme. A format file for LaTeX, called by a
  new batch file `newlatex', is provided with the NFSS installed.

psnfss This package builds on the NFSS package by providing a
  complete drop-in system for using PostScript fonts with the NFSS.
  version 2.4, February 1993.

seminar A comprehensive \LaTeX\ style package by Timothy van
  Zandt to produce overhead slides, performing all the same jobs as
  \SLiTeX, but can be used with all normal \LaTeX\ styles.

A slightly fuller description of the packages can be found in the
LaTeX file *emtex.tex*, which is a LaTeX-formatted copy of the basic
installation guide for emTeX. A prepared PostScript version is in
emtex.ps.

the emTeX package proper. Suggestions for additions, changes, etc are
