Alex Kasman's Software Distribution Page
The main point of this page is to distribute the following packages and programs:
ASTeX -- This is a package of sophisticated TeX definitions and Unix shell scripts for
producing books and journals. Although anyone will probably find it
useful, it is specifically intended for professional use. At
present, it is being used for the pubilcation of several journals and
several textbooks. If you know something about TeX, check it out and
let me know what you think.
Reminder is a set of two Unix shell
scripts which keep track of important events for you. The main use
would be as part of your .login so that you are "reminded" every time
you log-in. To use these files, make them "executable" (i.e. chmod)
and type "reminder help" for instructions.
FORMLET is another LaTeX package. This
one is for making "form letters" (or form anything else). That is,
you can type a document with "blanks" in it, and the blanks are filled
in with data from a list. Several "special" features also exist, such
as an "if" statement. An example is provided.
The JavaBabyAger is a Java script which
can be inserted into your Web documents. It checks the current date
and automatically computes the age of a baby (or whatever) and prints
it on the page.
I wrote the Perl scripts which provide information about
mathematics research talks in the Boston area at this
location.
