What I mean by this is that }\quotation{in the place of bigger or smaller I may be able to add the font weight, }\quotation{size, or pitch. } You really think that would be clearer than it is NOW?? One of the nice things about the "Bigger" and "Smaller" styles is that they are _RELATIVE_. If Joe Schmo has his BodyFont preference set to andysans8, but Suzy Q prefers 16-point fonts, "Bigger" and "Smaller" have the same relative effect on both users. But if you start putting FORCED absolute sizes into your documents, either Joe will think they're too big, or Suzy will think they're too small, or BOTH. \quotation{I also would like to be able to specify different fonts }\quotation{by way of a default as well as throught the menu such as times, or roman }\quotation{within the same document. } There are "Sans Serif" and "Typewriter" styles on the "Font" menu card already, to do that. There's rarely any good reason to FORCE serifs or no serifs; these are best left to the individual who is VIEWING the document, to control using their own BodyFont preference. Of course, I'm coming at this from a "large multi-user site" perspective. If it's just you and your standalone machine, then all you have to do is add some more style definitions to $ANDREWDIR/lib/tpls/default.tpl. That is where the existing "Font" menu (et al) styles are defined. I wouldn't encourage that, though, because if you ever share that document with someone ELSE, those extra style definitions will be MISSING when the other person views it. (They have their own unmodified default.tpl, dig?) If you have a particular document where a section of text just HAS TO look exactly a certain way, you can define a style _in_ the document _itself_, rather than in a template. Then you never have to worry about the style definition being available in other people's default.tpl. See the help files on "templates" and "lookz". \center{ \h{\f{R\e{o\d{b\c{er\b{t K\a{emme}tmu}el}l}e}r }\g{rskm@rchland 3-4968 }}} \bold{Date}: Wed, 15 Mar 1995 15:04:24 -0500 (EST) \bold{From}: Dick Orgass \bold{To}: Info-Andrew \bold{Subject}: Earlier Linux Messages Problem Some time ago, I reported a problem with messages for Liunx and X11R5.

If you recall, messages would not read mail that was already delivered to ~/Mailbox. Terry Gliedt's new version for X11R6 does not have this problem and messages is working just fine on my system. It's unfortunate that it's not possible to find the original problem.

These are available via anonymous FTP from two places: \italic{\bold{sunsite.unc.edu}} in \italic{\bold{pub/Linux/X11/andrew}} and \italic{\bold{ftp.andrew.cmu.edu}} in \italic{\bold{pub/AUIS/bin-dist/linux }} This is a refresh of the earlier release, still based on AUIS 6.3. This version contains a few fixes, but its primary purpose is to make an X11R6 version of AUIS available. I have grouped the full 40MB of compiled programs and data into several logical "packages". These should run on any Linux system using XFree3.x (I used Slackware 2.1.0 with a 1.92 Linux kernel). \ Terry Gliedt tpg@cfa.org ********* Please note my new mailing address ********* The Andrew User Interface System is an integrated set of tools that allow you to create, use, and mail documents and applications containing typographically formatted text and embedded objects. AUIS has three principal components: \indent{The \bold{Andrew User Environment} (\bold{\italic{AUE}}) is an integrated set of applications beginning with a 'generic object' editor (\italic{ez}), a help system, a system monitoring tool (\italic{console}), an editor-based shell interface (\italic{typescript}), and support for printing multi-media documents. \ The \bold{Andrew Toolkit} (\bold{\italic{ATK}}) is a portable user-interface toolkit. It provides a dynamically-loadable, object-oriented environment wherein objects can be embedded in one-another. Thus, one could edit text that contains not only fonts and styles, but also embedded raster images, spreadsheets, drawing editors, equations, simple animations, etc. These embedded objects could themselves contain other objects, including text. ATK is an open system so programmers can create new objects that can be embedded as easily as those system-defined objects. The \bold{Andrew Message System} (\bold{\italic{AMS}}) provides a multi-media interface to mail and bulletin-boards. AMS supports several mail management strategies and implements many advanced features including authentication, return receipts, automatic sorting of mail, vote collection and tabulation, enclosures, audit trails of related messages, and subscription management. It also provides a variety of interfaces that support ttys and low-function personal computers in addition to the high-function workstations. }\ The software has been configured for the relatively novice community. The software comes in tar files varying from 0.8MB to almost 4.0MB in size. Everything is based on the word processing package and only requires about 4.5MB after being extracted. \bold{The following packages are available:} auis63L4-wp.lsm Summary for EZ - the Word Processor auis63L4-wp.tgz Contains textviews, help, image, figure, raster, typescript, pipescript ... auis63L4-src.lsm Summary for EZ - for Source Code Development auis63L4-src.tgz Contains all the srcviews, bush...

The runtime type system, and dynamic loading were reimplemented. The build environment was augmented to ease the task of constructing executables, libraries and dynamic objects with automatic selection of the needed ATK libraries. The conversion didn't change the module structure at all. (Unless you count the addition of a root class, which was previously implicit in Class-C.) There are a few documents on the basics which have been updated to C++, but most of the documents have not been updated. (nor completed in many cases.)

This directory \ contains Bison version A2.3, derived from GNU Bison version 1.22. It also includes parser generators for C and C++ which have these advantages No symbol conflicts. Each parser is represented by a single name. Shared parser code. All grammars use a single instance of the \ parser object code. C++ object. For C++, the generated parser is an object. \ License free. The license on the parser code permits effectively unhindered use. Bison-A2.3 has these advantages over other versions of Bison: Errors in the grammar do not terminate input; all errors are \ found in one pass. A complete example and test case is \ the file mess.y in the distribution. \ Tokens may now be specified as multiple-character strings: "<=" can appear where formerly would have to be LESSEQ. ... Note on C++parser: This code has some vestigial ATK references. \ For non-Andrew usage delete the lines containing "ATK" and "andrewos", except retain the class declaration and change it to class parser \{ \enddata{text,562082824}
