This is release 1.0 of the bug report with all macros (some of which have been fixed). Run {\tt tip-bugs.tex} through {\tt tex} (plain format is what you want to use!), print the file and you are in business. And if you do a "initex texipexp.tex" you get fmt file "texipexp.fmt". Rename this file to "texip.fmt." You now have a .fmt file with all the relevant macros preloaded. And before I forget it: texip.idx contains an ASCII version of the index which you can bring up in your favorite editor if you search for a term in the index. Please tell me whether you found a machine readable index a useful feature. Thank you. For you PC people ----------------- On your diskette you find three files: readme lha.exe texip.lzh 1. If you execute "lha l texip" you can see the contents of "texip.lzh" 2. If you execute "lha x texip" you can extract the contents of "texip.lzh"
