Hi there,
This is kind of an off-topic question because it's not a Mac specific
question. Still if anyone has an answer, please tell me (I'm in a hurry
to hand out the doc I'm having trouble with)!!!
I have to put a one page summary at the end (very last page) of a BOOK
document. This summary should be able to take more width than on usual
pages...
So far I managed to increase the \textheight to have only 0.5 in margin
top and bottom, but when I increase \textwidth (and decrease the
horizontal margins) it does not have effects: the page shift to the left
(odd page) because the margin are reduced, but still the width of the
text is not increased...
I also tried to modifies the \linewidth but it had not more effects.
I currently use this block before the input of the text:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
\setlength{\textwidth}{7.2in}
\setlength{\linewidth}{7.2in}
\setlength{\textheight}{10.7in}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0.0in}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0.0in}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0.0in}
\setlength{\headheight}{0.0in}
\setlength{\headsep}{0.0in}
\setlength{\parskip}{0.05in}
\setlength{\marginparwidth}{0.0in}
\setlength{\marginparpush}{0.0in}
\setlength{\hoffset}{-0.5in}
\setlength{\voffset}{-0.5in}
\normalsize
%\setlength{\parskip}{0.05 in plus 2 pt minus 2 pt}
%\parindent =3D 0.0in
\cleardoublepage
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{singlespace}
\selectlanguage{french}
\subsection*{..........................}
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm sure that I don't need to modify most of these margins, and that I'm
just lacking the good one (or even a command telling LaTeX to apply new
margins). I've just found out that the \cleardoublepage was necessary
AFTER the \textheight to have it taken into account, still no effect on
\textwidth.
Finally, I did not found anything on this matter in LaTeX Companion...
except that one should avoid modifying these length inside the text.
As mentioned earlier, any help much welcomed.
Serge.

I am a bit behind on this mailing list, so this might be already
solved. I don't know if the various TeX things need the Apple Developer
Tools installed or not, but it might help to make sure that they are
installed. They are either on a separate disk that came with Mac OS X, or
are in the "Applications" -> "Installers" folder (or something like that),
or you have to jump through some hoops at apple to download them.

Wait a short while longer for the announcement.

Accidentally a bit too early, but since I am very close to releasing
i-Installer v2 not very harmful:
All the current i-Packages @ http://www.ntg.nl/macosx-tex/i-packages
have been deleted.
Currenty, installation of TeX can only proceed through TeX-fat.dmg or
TeX.dmg.

Hi Johann
It turned out to be a lack of the BSD subsytem. When you install there
is an option to turn off the installation of various things and
the BSD subsytem is one of them. This is different to the
developer tools which are yet another collection of things.

The optional to install BSD subsytem is on the first
disk w/ Jaguar.
There is also a 'BSD.package' on the 3rd Developer's
disk w/ Jaguar.
I could not install TeX-Fat.dmg because I had not
elected to install the BDS subsystem in the beginning.
All seems to be running fine at this point.

I feel the need to add that I have been too harsh in my comment here.
Apple offers the option *not* to install the BSD subsystem. The
availability of the BSD subsystem is still default. My apologies.
