I liked the "whimsical" file though. Anyway, the font is very nice.
Thanks very much.

Howdy,
I actually heard of that in Tiger and managed to completely forget
about it. I'll have to try it. Exporting the QuickTime movie would
fit the bill.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Good Luck,

Howdy,
I've always wanted to ``play with'' Mathematica but can't justify the
cost for the kinds of things I've needed.

Gary, I looked around all over the options in Grapher, especially the
"export ...", but couldn't see any "export to QuickTime" option?

Hi
Why does the following work, but not ork if the \backmatter line is
in there (the appendices lose their numbers and the ToC looks wrong)?

It works as I expect it too ;-)
"The \backmatter declaration makes no change to the pagination or folios =

but does prohibit sectional division numbering, and captions, etc., will =

be numbered continuously."

Go to Equation > Create Animation ... and you can generate a
QuickTime movie from an animated plot. I honestly haven't played with
it much, but I do know that this does give you a movie if you have
the right kind of plot.

Subject: BibDesk and CrossRefs
From: "Norm Gall"
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2005 09:03:56 -0600
I finally have a bibtex database that has a large number of entries
that are candidates for using the crossref feature, but I am having a
bit of trouble understanding how BibDesk 1.1.2 deals with
automatically copying information into the child entry.
In the preferences for Crossref, I have "Duplicate the Title field to
the Booktitle field for cross referenced types" and "Always
Overwrite the Booktitle when Duplicating {book,
proceedings,periodical, manual}" checked. I've deleted my preferences
and the behaviourdescribed below persists.
I have a parent entry:
@book{Gall:2005:W,
Address =3D {Toronto, ON},
Date-Added =3D {2005-07-30 08:27:07 -0600},
Date-Modified =3D {2005-07-30 08:27:54 -0600},
Editor =3D {Norman R. Gall and Karim Dharamsi},
Publisher =3D {York University Press},
Title =3D {The Way We Were},
Year =3D {2005}}
Now, I wish to enter a child. I select the parent in the main window
and hit Publications > New Publication with Crossref. I get an
incollection entry window with
Author blank
Title The way We Were {linked}
Booktitle blank
Publisher York University Press {linked}
Year 2005 {linked}
Address Toronto, ON {linked}
Crossref Gall:2005:W {linked}
So, BibDesk is _not_ Duplicating the Title field to the Booktitle
field for cross referenced types. This behaviour is also seen with
option-command dragging a parent to a child window.
Am I doing this wrong, reading the docs incorrectly, missing a known
bug or unimplemented feature?
Clearly the title of the parent is the child's booktitle, for the
title of the collected paper is the child's title.
Any help would be handy right now,
Norm Gall

Subject: Flowcharts
From: "Matthew Inglis"
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2005 16:35:54 +0100
Hello all,
I am trying to get "Flow" to work on OS 10.4, but am having some
difficulties.
I've built the flow.c file, to produce a flow.out file, but when I
try to use it with, for example, this:
------------------------
Right
Box
This is
the first
box.
Box 8 1
And this is the second
------------------------
it says:
flow error : can't interpret line 1
\begin{picture}(0.000000,0.000000)(0.000000,0.000000)
% picture environment flowchart generated by flow 0.99e
\end{picture}
logout
[Process completed]
However, a colleague using Windows gets this:
\begin{picture}(13.000000,2.000000)(0.000000,-2.000000)
% picture environment flowchart generated by flow 0.99e
\put(0.0000,-2.0000){\framebox(4.0000,2.0000)[c]{\shortstack[c]{
This is\\
the first\\
box.
}}}
\put(4.0000,-1.0000){\vector(1,0){1.0000}}
\put(5.0000,-1.5000){\framebox(8.0000,1.0000)[c]{\shortstack[c]{
And this is the second
}}}
\end{picture}
Iit has been suggested to me that the problem may be to do with DOS/
UNIX/Mac line endings, but I've used TextWrangler to try all of these
versions with no success.
I'm no expert in C, building, or the picture environment, so was
hoping someone might be able to illuminate what is going wrong.
Best wishes
Matthew.

this is a nice little processor, i didn't know about it.
it might be obvious, but does your file include the dashed lines? if
so, try leaving them out.
for me the following worked (pretty straightforward):
1> curl -s ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/flow.tar.gz | tar
xvzf -
flow/
flow/README
flow/flow.c
flow/flowdoc.tex
flow/flowdoc.pdf
flow/COPYING
2> cd flow/
3> gcc -o flow flow.c
4> cat > box.flo
Right
Box
This is
the first
box.
Box 8 1
And this is the second
^C
5> ./flow box.flo
\begin{picture}(13.000000,2.000000)(0.000000,-2.000000)
% picture environment flowchart generated by flow 0.99e
\put(0.0000,-2.0000){\framebox(4.0000,2.0000)[c]{\shortstack[c]{
This is\\
the first\\
box.
}}}
\put(4.0000,-1.0000){\vector(1,0){1.0000}}
\put(5.0000,-1.5000){\framebox(8.0000,1.0000)[c]{\shortstack[c]{
And this is the second
}}}
\end{picture}

Well, it seems that I was doing something wrong, but I have no idea
what it was. the title is being copied correctly into booktitle when
I create a book and creating the child copies correctly.
I deleted my preferences before and it still did not work correctly.
I logged out then in after deleting the prefs and it works correctly.
Corrupted prefs, I guess.
