Hi
Does anybody know if there exist a symbol which consists of an integral
(\int} with a vetically centered horisontal bar. It's quite common
notation for the Cauchy Principal Value integral, but I can't seem to
find it in the Not So Short ... or Daly and Kopka: 'A Guide to LaTeX.
The alternative, I guess, is to make the d... thing my self....
Kind regards,
Steffen

Or to use this thing I've written:
\newlength{\intwidth}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\fpint}[2]
{\mathop{%
\text{%
\settowidth{\intwidth}{$\int$}%
\makebox[0pt][l]{\makebox[\intwidth]{$-$}}%
$\int_{#1}^{#2}$}}}
It assumes the package amsmath is loaded, so that the command \text can=20=
be used. This \fpint (for "finite part integral") does not work exactly=20=
as \int, it takes the limits as arguments, as in \fpint{0}{\infty}=20
replacing \int_0^\infty.
The TeXbook says, for such composite symbols, taking \notin as an=20
example on p. 437 in Appendix F: "The definition of \notin in Appendix=20=
B indicates how similar symbols can be constructed". But in Appendix B,=20=
pp. 360-361 I never managed to understand how the construction works=20
(especially \c@ncel).
The best solution would of course be special fonts including the=20
symbol, such as the AMS negated symbol fonts. The finite part integral=20=
is indeed in MathML specification, at slot U02A0D, see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/02A.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/bycodes.html
It is also included in the font Esstix-Six, available at:
ftp://ftp.elsevier.nl/pub/styles/esstix/esstix.zip
But I'm not aware of any TeX macro package for accessing these fonts.
Michel Bovani (Michel, =EAtes-vous en ligne ?) did some work earlier =
this=20
summer on a set of PostScript mathematical fonts for accompanying=20
Utopia, and the principal value integral was part of this set.
Good luck,

Works fine here, but to be honest I do not remember if my install is=20
from TeXLive7 or Wierda's.

This could clash with the file encoding if the editor you are using
is writing the files in something else like "latin1". TeXShop's default
is, of course, MacOSRoman but it can be set for other encodings, which I
did on my PowerBook and therefore had problems with all my tex files on
other Macs until I remembered this tiny detail and issued the line:
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
on the offending files.
Hope that helps. Regards,...
Juan.

But I don't think it's part of tetex-macosx that Fink installs
despite the fact that it is supposed to install your mods:
"This package installs Gerben Wierda's Mac OS X-specific modifications
to teTeX, as well as the altpdftex, epstopdf, and epstopdfwrap binaries.
The file epstopdf.sty is now provided by the oberdiek package."
(At least I couldn't find PPower4 using "locate ppower4", which is why I
installed it separately using Fink.) Cheers.

Fink at one stage decided to copy my strategy in compiling TeX and
turned that into a compile-from-source package. Note: this was last
updated in Summer 2001.
Fink later decided it was smarter to let people install my package and
use that from within Fink (they do that for my TeX and XFree86 as far
as I know, the rest they do themselves). That is system-tetex, I think.
I would dearly love it if Fink would not put my name on a very outdated
distribution *they* ship.

Sure. First, you must have a few things installed already. I have OSX
10.1.5 installed with gcc3 (got it from Apple's Online Dev Tools). I
also have g77 installed through fink. For some reason, I haven't
installed ATLAS (which contains BLAS and LAPACK). If you get fink, you
might as well install ATLAS along with g77. I have X-Windows installed
through a package from the XonX site. So, here's what's required:
- gcc
- g77
- X-Windows
- [Optional] BLAS
Here are some relevant links:
http://mrcla.com/XonX/
http://fink.sourceforge.net
After downloading the tarred and gzipped source X-Foil from:
http://raphael.mit.edu/xfoil/
uncompress the files [sorry for being pedantic; I'm not too sure if
you're familiar with the download/compiling process] with:
tar zxfv xfoil694.tar.gz
or
gnutar zxfv xfoil694.tar.gz
As the README suggests, "cd" to the plotlib directory. Open the
"config.make" file in a text-editor. There are a bunch of compile
options for Linux. Depending on what you installed you may have to
change some of the options. For example, I have "g77", "gcc3" and XonX
X-Windows in my system, so I have the following options:
FC =3D g77
CC =3D gcc3
CFLAGS =3D -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include/ $(DEFINE)
Make and save those changes in the "config.make" file, and type "make".
This should compile the library plotlib.a. Now, "cd" to the "bin"
directory. If you don't have BLAS installed, like me, you'll need to
make a one-line change in the "Makefile":
PLTLIBS =3D -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
Type "make", and "xfoil" should start compiling. That's it! Open an
X-Windows terminal, and type ./xfoil, and you should get a terminal
command list for XFoil. When you plot something a new X-Window will
pop-up showing the graph.
It would be nice to have a native version of XFoil without resorting to
X-Windows. AquaTerm already works with Fortran interfaces, so maybe some
interface work can be done to link the two ...
