\noindent This is a list of all corrections made to {\sl Computers \&
Typesetting}, Volumes A,~B, C, and D\null, between 1 January 1991 and
15 March 1992.
Corrections made to the softcover version of {\sl The \TeX book\/} are
the same as corrections to Volume~A\null. Corrections to the softcover
version of {\sl The \slMF\kern1ptbook\/} are the same as corrections
to Volume~C\null. Some of the corrections below have already been made in
reprintings of the books. Changes to Volume~B refer to the fourth printing
(1991), which differs markedly from earlier printings because it includes
all the revisions for \TeX3.0. Changes to Volume~D refer to the third
printing (1991), which differs markedly from earlier printings because
it includes all the revisions for \MF\kern1pt2.0. Changes to the mini-indexes
and master indexes of Volumes B and~D are not shown here unless they are
not obviously derivable from what has been shown.
Dozens of changes, too many to list
here, have been made to Volume~E because of recent upgrades to the
Computer Modern font source files.
Those changes, which affect only the digitization at
low resolution and the appearance of lowercase delta and
some characters in the math symbols
fonts (but not the {\tt TFM} files), are documented at
the end of file {\tt cm85.bug}.

Some ^{German} words traditionally change their spelling
when they are split between lines. For example, `backen' becomes `bak-ken'
and `Bettuch' becomes `Bett-tuch'. How can you instruct \TeX\ to produce
such effects?

stands for zero or more \<assignment>
commands other than |\setbox|.
If the assignments are not followed by a \<character>, where
\<character> stands for any of the commands just discussed in the previous
paragraph, \TeX\ treats |\accent| as if it were |\char|, except that
the space factor is set to 1000. Otherwise the character that follows
the assignment is accented by the character that corresponds to the
\<8-bit number>. \ (The purpose of the intervening assignments is to
allow the accenter and accentee to be in different fonts.) \ If the
accent must be moved up or down, it is put into an hbox that is
raised or lowered. Then the accent is effectively superposed on the
character by means of kerns, in such a way that the width of the accent
does not influence the width of the resulting horizontal list.
Finally, \TeX\ sets |\spacefactor=1000|.

`|}|' may be followed by
optional \<assignment> commands other than |\setbox|,
after which `|$$|'~must conclude
the display. \TeX\ will insert the |\abovedisplayskip| and
|\belowdisplayskip| glue before and after the result of the alignment.

comma; 3000 after the exclamation point, the right-quote marks, and the
periods. If a period had come just after the |B| (i.e., if the text had
said `|B. Sally|'), the space factor after that period would have
been~1000, not~3000.

\textindent{\bf14.}If the current item is an Ord atom,
go directly to Rule~17 unless
all of the following are true: The nucleus is a symbol; the subscript
and superscript are both empty; the very next item in the math list is an
atom of type Ord, Op, Bin, Rel, Open, Close, or Punct; and the nucleus of the
next item is a symbol whose family is the same as the family in the present
Ord atom. In such cases the present symbol is marked as a text symbol.
If the font information shows a ligature between this symbol and the
following one, using the specified family and the current size, then
insert the ligature character and continue as specified by the font;
in this process, two characters may collapse into a single Ord
text symbol, and/or new Ord text characters may appear. If the font information
shows a kern between the current symbol and the next, insert a kern item
following the current atom.
As soon as an Ord atom has been fully processed for ligatures and kerns,
go to Rule~17.
