       place of \path)
       Refer to ucthesis via its \CTANref

       lots of kerfuffle to recover the situation of the directory (etc.)
       declarations split

       only (added a \checked macro)

Fri Oct  7 15:24:29 1994  Robin Fairbairns  ([email protected])

       * newfaq.tex (throughout): more hacking at commands that split
       themselves over lines, added {}s to the last few \LaTeXe's that needed
       them
       (section{\MF{}}): indent verbatim command sequences
       (section{\TeX{} Systems}): unwrap Q-oztex \Question argument
       (section{Documentation and Help}): use \LaTeX in Lamport's book title
       (section{Special sorts of typesetting}): reference macmakeindex.sit
       instead of giving an email address for Tolliver, which causes grief
       with Alan's perl code...

       * faq.sty: Add a \DANTE command, at Alan's suggestion

Thu Oct  6 14:05:36 1994  Robin Fairbairns  ([email protected])

       * faq.sty: provide the commands for doing the \CTANlabel/\CTANref game

       * newfaq.tex (section{Special sorts of typesetting}): Added remark
       about the status of screenview

       referenced as as \logoname{} _only_
       (throughout) install the \CTANref mechanism for referring to existing
       CTAN addresses
       updated \fileversion and \filedate...

Mon Oct  3 09:05:14 1994  Robin Fairbairns  ([email protected])

       * newfaq.tex (section{Documentation and Help}): Removed repeated TUG
       address from PicTeX manual question (replaced with reference to TUG
       question); then moved question down below TUG question
       (section{\TeX{} Systems}): mailed Elizabeth Tachikawa about the Unix
       tape service
       (section{Documentation and Help}): mailed latex-help-coordinator about
       LaTeX help service, but the response was "unknown user" -- deleted
       question and answer
       (section{Documentation and Help}): Added a question about national/
       regional user groups
       (section{Documentation and Help}): rationalise use of \BibTeX (in
       particular, bibtex.1 is a _file_, not something that can reasonably
       be expressed as a logo (why doesn't bold small caps appear in question
       titles?)

Sun Oct  2 17:14:30 1994  Robin Fairbairns  ([email protected])

       * newfaq.tex (section{The Background}): Added body to the questions
       What is TeX?, What is LaTeX?, why's it free?
       (section{Introduction}): added a reference to Alan's server (even
       though it's inevitably out of date w.r.t. this document...)

Sat Oct  1 (evening) 1994  Robin Fairbairns  (robin@home)

       * newfaq.tex: significant upheaval (several new questions, fewer new
       answers), following discussion with Jonathan;
       add \NeedsTeXFormat requirement (should this be in faq.sty?);
       new section The Background with some stuff moved out from Introduction,
       containing questions What is TeX?, What is LaTeX?, should I use plain
       or LaTeX?, why's it free?, why isn't it wysiwyg?, and what is the
       future?;
       Introduction completely re-written;
       new questions in The Latest Developments, What is the NTS project?,
       what is the LaTeX3 project?

       * faq.sty: new commands for \BV, \NTS, \eTeX and \URL

Thu Sep 29 12:43:52 1994  Robin Fairbairns  (robin@home)

       * newfaq.tex: lots of minor typos corrected;
       yet more markup added;
       one or two more of Joachim's comments addressed (but note new \Q about
       LaTeX 2.09 and `weird hyphenatoin')

       * faq.sty: load times.sty only \IfFileExists (such taste; such
       originality)

Wed Sep 28 10:23:30 1994  Robin Fairbairns  (robin@home)

       * newfaq.tex: modified so that all question references (that I've
       spotted so far ;-) simply consist of a \Qref in parentheses;
       first iteration of sticking stuff in new sections;
       more books (well, one more) and into a new question;
       more markup tidying (\Newsgroup, \CTAN, etc.);
       now version 1.1, added \hfuzz and \emergencystretch

       * faq.sty: (possibly merely experimental ;-) made Questions into
       subsections, removed subsection from \cl@section, numbered sections
       alphabetically...;
       make \Qref produce "see question \ref{#1}"

Tue Sep 27 16:10:17 1994  Robin Fairbairns  ([email protected])

       * newfaq.tex: change to use \BibTeX instead of \BiBTeX (since the
       latter's not one of the forms the name appears in texnames.sty;
       refer to PiCTeX, VorTeX through their (new) logo macros;
       similarly (though not new logos) tex->\TeX, AMS[La]TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX,
       SliTeX;
       correct wording describing incorporation of SliTeX into 2e (ex Joachim
       Schrod's suggestion)

       * texnames.sty: new, copied from eplain distribution, but with \PiCTeX
       and \VorTeX added (pro tem, at least)

       * faq.sty: moved the font-setting commands, etc., into the package

Tue Sep 27 14:17:51 1994  Robin Fairbairns  (robin@home)

       * faq.sty: markup commands in separate package (ultimately to come in
       several versions according to the environment it's to be processed in
       -- e.g., versions for PS font usage/cm font usage, even a version for
       processing to plain text?)

       * newfaq.tex: moved all the markup commands out to (new) faq.sty;
       couple of typos corrected following input from Joachim Schrod

Thu Sep 22 09:18:38 1994  Robin Fairbairns  ([email protected])

       * newfaq.tex: (last night's work) new-style markup for question
       references, label for last question (so we can see how well we're
       doing), \makeshortverb of \| so as to get coherent log output

Tue Sep 20 13:54:51 1994  Robin Fairbairns  ([email protected])

       * newfaq.tex: moved \documentclass, \usepackage above defs of
       fileversion and date, so as not to pick up that from mflogo;
       `getting a copy' - removed [email protected], put various email
       addresses in \Email; put NEWS.ANSWERS into more coherent form
       (verbatim; and yes, it _does_ need to be upper case)
       `pictex manual': escape the $s (!)
       `oztex': it's now shareware, not PD
       `fig and where to get it': remove escape from _ in \path (!)
       `music': corrected email address for Taupin and his ftp site
       `double-spacing': doublespace.sty is a file name; close paren round ref
       to CTAN; "latest release of LaTeX"->"LaTeX2e"
       `macros to do Y': verbatim site index command <term> in text
       `... for machine Y running Q': FTP.nwc is a file, and yes, it is there
       ibid, both AIX and PC made explicit reference to fpt.dante.de
       `blackboard bold': tech-support is an email address; add reference to
       the extraordinary bbm fonts
       `repositories': correct address corresponding to ftp.tex.ac.uk; put
       site index command into verbatim
       `Laserjet': converted S's \Q about Berry's prog into an actual
       reference to it
       `\pagestyle{empty}': correct (;-) spelling of behaviour, "is"->"if"
       `NFSS': rewritten to clarify relationship to New LaTeX
       New question about things like \tenrm in 2e added
       `references wrong': line up corrected code in two columns
       `change margins': indent code
       `width of letter, etc.': indent examples; remove redundant `T' from
       LaTeX
       `LaTeX2e': first production release was June
       `log-like functions': indent examples
       `\@': "?" at end of question
       `Companion ... @': space after LaTeX in question, "!" at end
       `I've found a bug': slight elaboration of 2.09 case
       New version of path.sty with some hacking; redo all S's (and my one)
       markup commands

Mon Sep 19 11:46:40 1994  Robin Fairbairns  (robin@home)

       * define \Newsgroup (same as all the rest, pro tem) and use it for
       comp.tex.tex, comp.unix.wizards, news.answers, comp.sources.unix,
       comp.programming.literate, comp.sources.misc, comp.text, comp.fonts

       * added new questions "what's all this about \@", "but the companion
       tells me to use \@startsection" and "I've found a bug: what do I do"
       (which last was a suggestion of Jonathan's)

       * put \fileversion in the title (rather than \filedate twice)

       * defined command \cs (out of ltxdoc.cls) so that we can put commands
       in question names, required for q32 about \pagestyle{emtpy}
