new version of AMS-LaTeX (2.2)
by Reinhard Zierke 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

----- Forwarded message from Barbara Beeton ----- A new version of AMS-TeX has been posted to the AMS server at ftp://ftp.ams.org/tex/amstex This will be mirrored to CTAN into the ../macros/amstex area in due course. This is AMS-TeX version 2.2. It is mostly a bug fix release, but a few important changes have been made: - The copyright notice is no longer reported at run time, and there is no longer an explicit request for use of AMS-TeX to be acknowledged. (A footnote Typeset by AMS-TeX that appears at the bottom of the first page of an article can be removed by the command ologo.) - An explicit subclassyear has been added to facilitate reference to versions of the Mathematics Subject Classification other than the default (1991). - The definition of folio was simplified to include only the page number, permitting auxiliary packages such as index.tex (from texsis) to be used without conflict. - Empty elements (addresses, thanks, subjclass, caption) are checked and extraneous footnotes, punctuation, etc., are suppressed as appropriate. Users of AMS-TeX are advised to consider obtaining this new release. ----- End forwarded message ----- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN Submission -- draftcopy
by Reinhard Zierke 25 Aug '01

25 Aug '01

----- Forwarded message from Jürgen Vollmer ----- I put a new version (2.14) of my draftcopy package to ftp.dante.de This package is used to print on some pages the word `DRAFT' (or the language dependent analogon) ``behind'' the intended stuff. The following files are contained in draftcopy.tar.gz draftcopy/draftcopy.ins draftcopy/draftcopy.doc draftcopy/Makefile draftcopy/README draftcopy/THIS-IS-VERSION-2.14 Please put it into tex/macros/latex/contrib/supported/draftcopy I'm looking still for translations for the word DRAFT. Have a look into draftcopy.sty, which are missing and send me some... Who knows an easy way to typeset foreign letters like Ü in postscript? Who knows how to implement draftcopy stuff for PDF? Changes since the last version: - Added conditional, final and draft options - Added draftcopyPageX, etc. to specify the start of the text on the page - Added draftcopySetScaleFactor to specify a scailng factor - Added the timestamp option and the draftcopyVersion macro - Added the greek language option (i.e. DRAFT is printed in the greek translation with greek letters) With best regards Jürgen Vollmer PS: Thanks to all people, sending me new ideas and code, your are mentioned in the package code. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission. I installed it as suggested in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/draftcopy/ replacing the old version Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

new package on CTAN: filecontents
by Jim Hefferon 24 Aug '01

24 Aug '01

A new LaTeX package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring process in the next day or two. Jim Hefferon ==================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: filecontents Name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/filecontents Summary description: Less-limited version of LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments License type: lppl Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it's run through latex. However, there are two limitations of these environments: They refuse to overwrite existing files, and they can be used only before the documentclass declaration. The filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you overwrite existing files and letting you use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
