I guess I must have ink in my veins. @String{pub-CSLI = "CSLI Publications"} @String{pub-CSLI:adr = "Stanford, CA, USA"} @Book{Knuth:1999:DT, author = "Donald E.

While previous editions of several Adobe PostScript books had a distinctive spine, with red at the top, and white at the bottom, this new one unfortunately has a black spine, with red and white lettering, making it harder to spot on a bookshelf. The cover retains the old red/white style. Although Apple and Xante have been shipping printers with Level 3 support for more than two years, Hewlett-Packard (visit them at http://www.hp.com/go/printers) only in the last few months, with the new HP Color LaserJet 8500, offers such support, and the number two printer vendor, Lexmark, has yet to do so. @String{pub-AW = "Ad{\-d}i{\-s}on-Wes{\-l}ey"} @String{pub-AW:adr = "Reading, MA, USA"} @Book{Adobe:1999:PLR, author = "{Adobe Systems Incorporated}", title = "{PostScript} Language Reference", publisher = pub-AW, address = pub-AW:adr, edition = "Third", pages = "xii + 897", year = "1999", ISBN = "0-201-37922-8", LCCN = "QA76.73.P67 P67 1999", bibdate = "Sat May 08 07:43:15 1999", price = "US\$49.95, CDN\$74.95", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, } -------------------------------- Entries for these books, and related publications, can be found in the bibliography archives at ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/master.* ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/postscri.* ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/texbook3.* http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-m.html#master http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-p.html#postscri http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-t.html#texbook3 The master Web page for these collections can be found at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table.html with brief journal tables-of-contents at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/toc/ and extensive cross-referenced journal article indexes at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/idx/index.html These collections are mirrored regularly to several other Internet archives, include the huge Karlsruhe Computer Science archive at http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/ That page includes pointers to eight mirror sites around the globe.
