I have uploaded to ftp.dante.de an update to my class file newlfm.cls. It
is a zip archive newlfm.zip
The package is stored at
macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/newlfm
Here is a brief description of newlfm:
Announcing newlfm.cls 3.2 (NEW Letter Fax Memo)
newlfm integrates the letter class with fancyhdr and geometry to
o automatically make letterhead stationary
o includes support for a database for addresses; instead of putting all
the …
[View More]information for different letters into different letters, you put
it in the database, and pull it into the letter with a single command
o includes support for other languages, including pig Latin
o includes a number of excluded article.cls features (table, figure)
o integrates support for memos and faxes within the same package
o full support for positioning of items (moving the date up or down; putting
the date between from and to blocks; etc.)
o supports mass mailings and form letters easily and simply
o prints addresses on labels. One Avery label type is set up, while others
are being added. Additionally, the envlab package has been integrated into
newlfm, so that all of the features of envlab are now available in newlfm
o supports 3 different types of letters (standard, business) and includes
full control for positioning of letter elements
o has a full manual, for ease of use. The manual has been rewritten and
reformatted
newlfm.cls is released under the lppl guidelines, or under gpl or under
lgpl, whichever is LESS RESTRICTIVE

Thanks for the upload. We put packages into macros/latex/contrib/supproted
if the author is willing to accept bug reports and the like.
Therefore I've put the files into
macros/latex/contrib/supported/pdfcprot

i've just installed another minor update of the uk faq on ctan
(help/uk-tex-faq) and on the faq web site (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq)
the changes are mostly small: a couple of corrected typos, a corrected
address for the omega mailing list. the one substantial item is the
first stab at listing macos x tex support (text thanks to norman gray,
who actually _uses_ a mac...)

Thanks a lot for the upload. I installed this already a few days ago, but
somehow forgot to announce it. The html pages for the various usergroups
are in CTAN subdirectory
usergrps/usergrps

I have uploaded preview-latex-0.5.8.2.tar.gz to the incoming
directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL, and I would
recommend to install it in the following way:
Put the packed archive under
support/preview-latex/
but unpack the
README to support/preview-latex
and
README-preview and preview.dtx to macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/
The reason is that the preview.dtx file can also be used as a
standalone LaTeX style for extracting …
[View More]selected elements from a LaTeX
source into separate pages of a DVI file.
Here are the release notes:
Release notes for version 0.5.8.2 of the preview-latex package:
preview-latex is a system for displaying inline images of selected
parts of a file in Emacs source buffers. It is released under the GNU
Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, GNU Emacs-21.1,
Auc-TeX, a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required.
XEmacs support is not yet operative, and contributions would be
welcome. Due to missing image support of Emacs-21.1 under Microsoft
Windows, this platform is not usable at the current point of time,
either.
Release focus are mostly user interface improvements. Notable are
changes in the build process, changes in cursor display handling,
preservation of indentation of previews, improvements in process
handling, better configurability.
User feedback about errors and suggested feature improvements is
welcome and heeded. The home page is
<URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project
page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at
<URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>.

Thanks for the submission. I installed the the new version in
CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ replacing the old one
and installed the preview LaTeX package in
CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/
