Greenwade") Newsgroups: comp.text.tex Subject: Updated DOUBLESPACE and SETSPACE available at FILESERV Message-ID: <009454a3.efef0ac0.26693@SHSU.BITNET> Date: 8 Mar 91 13:59:22 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Lines: 33 Yesterday (7-Mar-1991), Stephen F. Scherock reported problems with the spacing macros (setspace.sty, doublespace.sty, and fnspacing.tex) aborting (La)TeX runs. It was ultimately pointed out by Rainer Schoepf that an environment nesting bug fix in latex.tex made in May 89 caused this problem and that the behavior reported was proper under subsequent versions of TeX. Philip Ross provided a fix for this problem. I played with this fix under both an old version of TeX and a new version (under emTeX 3.0) and the fix works in both cases. I have updated the files STY.DOUBLESPACE and STY.SETSPACE at FILESERV for retrieval if you would like an updated copy. To receive either file, please MAIL the message SENDME STY.DOUBLESPACE and/or SENDME STY.SETSPACE to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET. On receipt, extract and save the files in the proper syntax (STY.SETSPACE is saved as SETSPACE.STY and STY.DOUBLESPACE is saved as DOUBLESPACE.STY). FILESERV is capable of handling multiple file requests in a single message so long as each request resides on a unique line of the MAIL message. Finally, I would appreciate it if someone would provide me with a copy of fnspacing.tex so it can be placed on FILESERV for retrieval. Please send it directly to me and I will arrange for this. Regards and thanks for your interest in our services. George %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% George D.
