The non-commented lines in my file start with: %> mode_setup; %> u#:=1/10pt#; %.1mm#; %> define_pixels(u); %>Your file lacks the second (u#:=...) line, and is apparently what caused all %>of your diagnostics. There are some other lines that differ, too, but they %>seem to be ones that are commented out. I wonder why there are different %>versions floating around. %> %>Once I added the missing line to your file, it compiled like a charm. There %>seems to be no difference in the printout, especially \char'171 looks the same %>in both versions. %> %> %>> In the font I generated, \char'171 was definitely wrong.

How can you tell by looking %>at it that the orientation is not correct? Is there some reason the arrow %>should not have a tail on the topside rather than the bottomside? In any %>case, turningcheck:=0; will not change the orientation. %> %>Rex %> I am totally perplexed by this! tex.ac.uk and ftp.tex.ac.uk have slightly different versions of the file. All the hands were misformed in my original, and \char121 was definitely unusable. The disk used to produce its mid left margin was being *subtracted* rather than added. Georg Knappen said that his version also gave errors. The only way of knowing what is happening would be to do a file comparison between the copy at ftp.tex and wherever yours came from---but then, the archives are supposed to be mirroring one another.

I have looked in the obvious places at Aston and done a Gopher search without any success, but one should exist. regards Derek Andrews ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 07 Sep 1993 13:11:09 -0000 From: Mr J.B. Gavin"Mr J.B. Gavin" Subject: \footnote in multicols{2} style. Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with this problem. I am writing in multicols{2} style and on the first page of my article I want to use \thanks{text} as part of the \maketitle. Latex puts the {text} for the \thanks command right across the bottom of the page but I want to restrict it to the width of the first column of text. That is, I want the \thanks to appear at the bottom of the first column of text (i.e. as part of the first column of text but with a line between the {text} and the rest of the stuff in the first column). This is the style often used in journals that print two columns to a page so someone must have done this. An example follows below, where the \thanks runs accross the bottom of the page. Thanks in advance, John. ========= CUT HERE ============== \documentstyle[multicol]{article} \title{The name of the article } \author{Authors name\thanks{Address for correspondence: School of Mathematics, University of Bath, Bath BA2 7AY.},\\ School of Mathematics,\\Bath.\\} \begin{document} \maketitle \begin{multicols}{2} Lots of irrelevant text goes in here to fill up the page.

These files have been installed in the (new) directory [tex-archive.macros.plain.contrib.calendar] on TeX.ac.uk. They will be copied to the daughter archive, ftp.tex.ac.uk, shortly, and also to the other CTAN sites.
