Some of them actually apply to the oversize mats, others produce a Dover page already in the right size. It turns out most conference will accept this, even though they'll probably not tell you in the call for papers. I haven't tested all of these (by any means!), so I am not sure of what the relative merits are. I have tested a couple, and I have decided to use Tom Gross's suggestion, which worked beautifully in my case (actual-size output). I had to make a couple of small changes to deal properly with single-column figures; nothing major. If you want my changes, they are in [spice]/usr/dzg/docs/update/26/ I found that running "newscribe" (on Unix) worked slightly better than the regular 'scribe". - Dario - First of all, then, Tom's suggestion: Received: from CMU-CS-SAM.ARPA by CMU-CS-SPICE.ARPA; 9 Sep 85 22:38:53 EDT Date: 9 Sep 1985 22:37-EDT From: Thomas.Gross@CMU-CS-SAM.ARPA To: Dario.Giuse@CMU-CS-SPICE Subject: Re: 2-column papers? Message-Id: <495167854/trg@CMU-CS-SAM> In-Reply-To: Dario.Giuse's bboard message of 09-Sep-85 15:54 my directory scribe (in [sam]/usr/trg) contains two .mak files, xi.mak and twoc.mak. There is also a sample .mss for both. The difference between xi and twoc is that twoc has "true" IEEE references, whereas xi has an ACM flavor. See me if you have problems. There should also be a standard document type "acmmodel" if you want to include ACM's copyright notice. tg ------------------------------- More suggestions follow: Received: from CMU-CS-G.ARPA by CMU-CS-SPICE.ARPA; 9 Sep 85 16:14:21 EDT Date: 9 Sep 1985 16:06-EDT From: John.Wenn@CMU-CS-G.ARPA To: Dario.Giuse@CMU-CS-SPICE Subject: Re: 2-column papers? Try using the sequence @Begin [XXX, Columns 2, Boxed] at the begining of your document (page 84 of the black scrie manual). The be sure to run newscribe on the .mss file (scribe doesn't do multiple columns correct). /john Received: from CMU-CS-IUS2.ARPA by CMU-CS-SPICE.ARPA; 9 Sep 85 16:16:58 EDT Date: 9 Sep 1985 16:16-EDT From: Jon.Webb@CMU-CS-IUS2.ARPA To: Dario.Giuse@CMU-CS-SPICE Subject: Re: 2-column papers?

A recent copy is in [sm]/usr/htk/scribe/twoc.mak. I don't know where the "official" copy is.

If you look at Q.Mss, you'll find a Scribe source for a 2-column paper in ACM conference format, more or less. To get good small-font typography, I defined my own font families (see Myfont.Fon). --Skef Received: from CMU-RI-SENSOR.ARPA by CMU-CS-SPICE.ARPA; 9 Sep 85 17:41:24 EDT Date: 9 Sep 1985 17:36-EDT From: Mel.Siegel@CMU-RI-SENSOR.ARPA Subject: Re: 2-column papers?

SOMEONE ought to generate a scribe environment for this general problem, with switches corresponding to the various standard two column forms we all use all the time. NOTE: podtype, the program for driving the diablo, does not in my experience work properly on the VAX, so I move the text file to cmuc, scribe it there, and run podtype there. -- Mel Received: from K.CS.CMU.EDU by SPICE.CS.CMU.EDU; 10 Sep 85 11:40:04 EDT Date: Tue 10 Sep 85 11:36:27-EDT From: Jeffrey.Eppinger@cmu-cs-k.ARPA To: Dario.Giuse@CMU-CS-SPICE Subject: Re: 2-column papers? Message-ID: <6616.574587500.jle.CMU-CS> Dario, If the paper is to be printed in a large type and reduced, I believe most people have to bite the bullet and paste it up. If you are submitting actual size pages, then I know that Scribe does have a two-column mode. If you're interested I can look at some old documents and tell you how I've it in the past. Jeff.
