Are you after a vector notation arrow, perhaps? that can easily be done
with \overrightarrow{Text Under Arrow}. I'm fairly sure that will also
extend over superscripts and subscripts, and you can put an arrow over just
the su{b,per}script portion, if that's what you want.
I've never dealt with (or seen) the @ and @ notation before, so it
could be that you're after something totally different -- in which case,
give a descriptive example or something and I'm sure someone will be able to
tell you how to do it.

Re: [SLUG] skipping dirs in a script
Just include . in the pattern: cd /home for i in *.* ; do tar cfz $i.tar.gz /home/$i done I assume that tar is gnu tar, which can write gzip file directly, if that's not the case then you can do: tar cf - /home/$i | gzip $i.tar.gz BTW, tar is exceptional in that it doesn't require a leading - in front of its options. Read its manual. Also about writing scripts with gnu tools - my personal taste (and experience) is that using long-format option names makes scripts much easier to maintain both in the short and long run.

[SLUG] LaTeX - RTF
Some time back I posted a question on conversion of LaTeX to RTF. Some of the replied suggested LaTeX - HTML - OpenOffice - rtf. That works, but it is not straightforward. I hope this saves others the frustration that I faced. 1 LaTeX - HTML: I have a book-length file with some self-defined commands. It also uses a newer index.sty package which permits multiple indexes based on user defined counters. Hevea, version 1.07, has given by far the best results. 2 Read file.html into OpenOffice. No hassles. It is the next step that confused me. There is no Export or Save As from OpenOffice to .rtf or .doc 3 Solution is to Export as .sxw. Then open the .sxw file which can then be Saved As a .rtf or .doc file. This has been described as a bug in the OO mailing archives. Maybe it should be considered a feature, but documented in the help files. System is Ubuntu 4.10, tetex 2.0.2 as modified by including a newer version of index.sty.

But chokes for any number of reasons. The documentation itself says that
it has problems if there are too many labels - something that inevitably
happens with a heavily edited file if using reftex or some other
software that helps with the insertion of labels.
latex2rtf also bombed out for unknown reasons on the large file although
it worked OK on the smaller test file. It also produced rtf files that
my publisher had trouble reading, although that is not necessarily a
fault in latex2rtf.

It is expensive to give away computers, so to cover some of our many additional expenses and to help with our storage shortage, ComputerBank have decided to have a limited sale of computer equipment set up to run Linux. Here is a cheap and easy way for someone to start using Linux or for you to help your family and friends to discover the joys of Linux. Why bother with the complexity and uncertainty of dual booting Linux on your|their Windows computer when you can get a good affordable and separate Linux system. All these computers will come installed with a user friendly Linux environment (either our own Debian based SOE OR Ubuntu). They can look and operate like microsoft windows, allowing people to easily browse the web, send email with Evolution, and run office programs - OpenOffice for word processing and spreadsheets (which reads and writes microsoft office word and excel files.)

It exists, and it chokes badly on even some simple documents.
Care to post structures that it barfs on?
Admittedly I'm not doing books in it yet, but it would be helpful to
know what causes problems.

[SLUG] Init script to start VNC server as user (Debian)
Okay, so know I'm trying to start a VNC server with an init script as a given user (on Debian). As root I have tried running: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : ~ # start-stop-daemon --start --chuid simon --user simon --exec \ /usr/bin/vncserver --chdir /home/simon/ -- -geometry=800x600 vncserver: Could not create /root/.vnc. It appears that this is not actually changing to my user BEFORE starting the process as the man page states. It seems to be trying to write to root's home dir. I couldn't find a bug on this so I'm assuming I'm not doing it right. Anyone know how to make this work, or do I need to make a script that uses su? This seems to work but it's not l337: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : ~ # su simon -c 'vncserver -geometry 800x600' New 'voyager:1 (simon)' desktop is voyager:1 Starting applications specified in /home/simon/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/simon/.vnc/voyager:1.log -- Simon Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wongy.org -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Apple 23
Hi, Does anyone have any clue about getting an Apple 23 display running at full res ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on XFree86? Haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to get a heads up. I know it's old but we're using RH 7.3 at the mo.

Re: [SLUG] Apple 23
I've done the 20 ... It wasn't a big deal just add the mode lines into the config and away you go. I had more difficulty getting my particular card to operate, which was unrelated to the monitor choice. regards, brett On Wednesday 13 October 2004 15:18, Malik Jayawardena wrote: Hi, Does anyone have any clue about getting an Apple 23 display running at full res ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on XFree86?
