by Robin Fairbairns 30 Oct '01

30 Oct '01

I have installed Richard Kinch's belleek font set on CTAN at fonts/belleek (retrieve belleek.zip). from the README: These are the Belleek fonts described in my paper at TUG 98, the 1998 annual meeting of the TeX Users Group. They are drop-in replacements for the proprietary fonts required by the LaTeX mathtime style, where the dropping in process is simply to change the .fd files calling for specific fonts to reflect the font names starting with bl.

CTAN submission -- BibTool 2.45
by Reinhard Zierke 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from Gerd Neugebauer ----- Hi, I have uploaded Bibtool-2.45.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It replaces tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/BibTool-2.44.tar.gz and is distributed unnder the GPL. The following text is an excerpt from the Changes and the ReadMe files: - Version 2.45 Resource suppress.initial.newline introduced to suppress the empty line at the beginning of the output file Bugfix: Some C comilers don't like the initialization of static variables … [View More]with stderr. The code has been moved to a initialization routine. Bugfix: -R disables the reading of the resource at the end of processing of commandline arguments. Bugfix: Parsing of select arguments with backslashes were not treated correctly. Minor documentation bugs fixed. ====================================================================== ###### ############ ####### ############ ## ## ## ## ## ## ##### ## #### #### ## ####### ## ###### ## ###### ###### ## ####### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ###### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ####### ## ###### ## ###### ###### ####### ###### ## ##### ## #### #### ####### ====================================================================== BibTool: A Tool for Manipulating BibTeX Data Bases BibTeX provides an easy to use means to integrate citations and bibliographies into LaTeX documents. But the user is left alone with the management of the BibTeX files. The program BibTool is intended to fill this gap. BibTool allows the manipulation of BibTeX files which goes beyond the possibilities --- and intentions --- of BibTeX. The possibilities of BibTool include * Pretty-printing BibTeX data bases adjustable by lots of parameters. * Syntactic checks with error recovery superior to BibTeX and helpful error messages. * Semantic checks can be specified by the user. * Sorting and merging of BibTeX data bases according to a free definable sort key. * Generation of uniform reference keys according to predefined rules or according to an own specification. * Selecting references used in one publication which are found by analyzing an .aux file. * Selecting references by a set of criteria (regular expressions). * Controlled rewriting of fields utilizing regular expressions to specify the rewriting rules. * Macro (String) expansion to eliminate the need of extra string definitions. * Collecting statistics about one or more BibTeX data bases. BibTool contains a documentation written in LaTeX of more than 60 pages (and still growing). BibTool is written in C and has been compiled on various operating systems like flavors of UN*X and MSDOG machines. It is distributed in source code. No compiled versions are available from the author (Useless to ask!). BibTool can be obtained from the CTAN archives: * ftp.dante.de:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool * ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool * ctan.tug.org:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool Get the file BibTool-x.xx.tar.gz where x.xx is the version number. Unpack it with the command (on UN*X) gunzip < BibTool-x.xx.tar.gz | tar -xvf - Alternatively get the file BibTool-x.xx.zip where x.xx is the version number. Unpack it with the command unzip BibTool-x.xx.zip It will create a directory named BibTool-x.xx which contains the installation instructions in the file INSTALL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it in CTAN:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/BibTool-2.45.tar.gz and removed the old version BibTool-2.44.tar.gz Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team [View Less]
