M O R S E -- a short font report ================================== (The telegraphic alphabet - by Udo Heyl, January 1st, 1998) Error Reports in case of UNCHANGED versions to Udo Heyl, Stregdaer Allee 7, 99817 Eisenach, Federal Republic of Germany or DANTE, Deutschsprachige Anwendervereinigung TeX e.V., Postfach 10 18 40, 69008 Heidelberg, Federal Republic of Germany, Email: dante@dante.de 1. What is M O R S E ? ************************ It is a LaTeX2e - package for printing Morse code signs. The MORSE package contains the following files: morse10.mf ---* morse.alf |________ the METAFONT - files morse.num | morse.def ---* morse.sty ------------ the LaTeX2e style file morse10.tfm ------------ the TeX Font Metric file morsedoc.tex ------------ the ** SHORT FONT REPORT ** LaTeX2e file morse.doc ------------ the FONT REPORT ascii file COPYRIGHT (c) 1998, by Udo Heyl, Eisenach. Copying of part or all of any file in the morse package is allowed under the following conditions only: (1) You may freely distribute unchanged copies of the files. Please include the documentation when you do so. (2) You may modify a renamed copy of any file, but only for personal use or use within an organization. (3) You may copy fragments from the files, for personal use or for use in a macro package for distribution, as long as credit is given where credit is due. You are NOT ALLOWED to take money for the distribution or use of these files or modified versions or fragments thereof, except for a nominal charge for copying etc. 2. How to use the MORSE package? ******************************** First and foremost you've got to copy the following files - morse10.mf, morse.def, morse.alf and morse.num into your Metafont-directory \emtex\mfinput\morse - morse.sty into your Style-directory \emtex\texinput\morse and - morse10.tfm into your Tfm-directory \emtex\tfm\morse . Note, however, that the paths may be different in your LaTeX2e implementation (EmTeX for MS-DOS, web2c for UNIX etc.). LaTeX2e is absolutely required, if you want to use MORSE, which doesn't run with the ANCIENT LaTeX 209. The example shows you the usage of this font: \documentclass[10pt]{article} \usepackage{morse} %%% to include morse.sty \begin{document} ... %.......... {\morse ..... } %.......... \end{document} Telegraphic code will appear now in the current size and won't change the current shape. Of course you can input {\Huge\morse M o r s e T e x t} to manage greater Morse code signs. After the command \morse numbers, stops and letters (upper and lower case) are converted into Morse code, exceptions are given in Table 1 (see MORSEDOC.TEX). The exceptions are: INPUT # OUTPUT # VALUE -----------#-------------#----------------------- \aAcute # .--. # á \eAcute # ..-.. # é \ae # .-.- # ä \oe # ---. # ö \ue # ..-- # ü \ch # ---- # ch \dq # -....- # " (double quote) \sq # .----. # ' (single quote) -----------#-------------#----------------------- Comments and suggestions are welcome. Since I am curious to know whether the font is useful and how it looks in practice, I would appreciate a short message (with reference) - or even some sample pages - if it is used in a publication.
