Server downtime

Hi all, Many of you have noticed that https://wiki.contextgarden.net and https://www.ntg.nl are down, as well as all the mailing lists at domain ntg.nl, and a few less obvious websites like source.contextgarden.net and modules.contextgarden.net. The ntg.nl/wiki.contextgarden.net server’s disk (raid) controller crashed so badly that we did not trust it to come back up in read-write mode, so we had to rebuild the disk setup as read-only and then copy its revived data to a different machine that we also still had to configure. This is a complicated and slow process, unfortunately. Our apologies for the long down time! As of now, we at least have working emails for the mailing lists again. Tomorrow we will try to get the simple websites back up. We hope to at least be able to restore www.ntg.nl, wiki.contextgarden.net, and the mailing list web interface. Getting the email subsystem back up was the main priority today. More news later (sometime tomorrow) All the best, Taco (also from Robbert and Jules) ==== Dag Allemaal, Velen van jullie hebben gemerkt dat https://wiki.contextgarden.net en https://www.ntg.nl onbereikbaar zijn, evenals alle mailinglijsten op domein ntg.nl, en een paar minder voor de hand liggende websites zoals source. contextgarden.net en modules.contextgarden.net. De schijfcontroller (raid) van de ntg.nl/wiki.contextgarden.net-server crashte zo erg dat we het niet vertrouwden om hem terug te laten komen in lees-schrijfmodus, dus moesten we de schijfconfiguratie herstellen als alleen-lezen om vervolgens zijn nieuw leven ingeblazen data te kopiëren naar een andere machine die we ook nog moesten configureren. Dat is helaas een ingewikkeld en vrij langzaam proces. Onze excuses voor de lange downtime! Vanaf nu hebben we in ieder geval weer werkende e-mails voor de mailinglijsten. Morgen gaan we proberen de simpele websites weer aan de praat te krijgen. We hopen in ieder geval www.ntg.nl, wiki.contextgarden.net en de web-interface van de mailinglijsten te kunnen herstellen. Voor vandaag was het heropstarten van de e-mail faciliteiten de eerste prioriteit. Later (ergens morgen) meer nieuws Al het beste, Taco (ook van Robbert en Jules) ==== — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

`recode'. All it requires is making a few functions kept in a single `.c' file, adjusting `Makefile.am' and remaking `recode'." -- George N. White III <aa056(a)chebucto.ns.ca> Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada

columns, from an implementation standpoint, are not easy at all in tex. It has to do with subtleties in the page output routine that I don't really grasp. > So I'm looking for a way to typeset them with a distance of at least > 0.5cm and align at the bottom - the remaining space should be spread > equally... > I hope the question is understandable and I hope someone has already > done something like this... Some months ago another columns implementation came out, but if I recall correctly, when you have columns of vboxes separated by very stretchy glue, the new columns implementation can't bottom-align them either. -- --Ed L Cashin PGP public key: http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

FrontMatter, BodyMatter, and BackMatter and each of these sub-directories contains: 1) an Environment file 2) a Product file, for example, in the BodyMatter directory, I have ----- % product file \startproduct ProductBodyMatter \project Project \environment BodyMatter/EnvironmentBodyMatter \startbodymatter \component BodyMatter/Chapter01 \stopbodymatter \stopproduct ----- 3) many Component files, for example, Chapter01.tex, in the BodyMatter directory, looks like: ----- % component Chapter01 \startcomponent Chapter01 \project ProjectJavaXMLManuscript \product BodyMatter/ProductBodyMatter \chapter[introduction]{Introduction} \stopcomponent ----- So my question in terms of the above structure, is: must I refer to each component in the product file by its full path name \component BodyMatter/Chapter01 or can I refer to it, by just its file name \component Chapter01 where Chapter01.tex is a file contained in a subdirectory of the project file.

need to run the following command texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tmf.dat Watch carefully for success on each command. My Mac OSX needs to be run under root ie sudo. I think there are still some bugs in the data file 'type-tmf.dat' but times works OK. -- Nigel
