    The P-Beam Logo

    The P-Beam logo consists of a capital P followed very snuggly by a capital B, from which an arrow goes backward to the left through the P. The remaining letters ``eam'' are lower case but in ``small caps'' style. The logo definition for \LaTeX follows here:
    %% the PBeam Logo is defined here
    \def\PBeam{{\sc\kern.15emP\kern-.9em\raise.125ex\hbox{$\leftarrow$}\sc\kern-.25emB\sc\kern-.1eme\kern-.1ema\kern-.1emm}}
    
    Since this definition might be difficult te reproduce in other text processors, the spellings ``P-Beam'' or ``PBeam'' might also be used as a surrogate for the logo.
    Also, GIF89a format images (with transparent background) of the logo for downloading and inclusion in documents in several sizes are embedded into this page.
