LaTeX style files and utilities
When I've got the time, I'll put in details of my LaTeX style file
and utility packages. These include:
- Moreverb
- More verbatim-like environments, including boxed verbatim and numbered
listings. This style file requires Rainer Schöpf's verbatim style
file. It is mentioned in the LaTeX Companion, by Mittelbach,
Samarin and Goosens.
- Guobiao
- A simple style file and font conversion utility for setting Chinese
characters in TeX 3.0.
- PBMtoPK, and PKtoPBM
- Conversion utilities from portable bitmaps to TeX's PK font format.
- PKtoBDF
- Conversion utility from TeX's PK font format to X11's BDF font format.
- VPLUtils
- Some utilities for generating virtual fonts.
- DVIUtils
- A suite of utility programs for manipulating TeX's DVI output files.

I have also published the following articles about TeX, LaTeX, and various
utility programs:
