by Reinhard Zierke 14 May '02

14 May '02

----- Forwarded message from Melchior FRANZ ----- I've just uploaded version 1.6 of `crop.sty' as archive >>>> crop.tar.gz <<<< to >>>> ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/ <<<< Please replace the contents of >>>> /macros/latex/contrib/supported/crop/ <<<< by the new files. The package is again licenced under the terms of the >>>> LPPL <<<< The new version now =================== - has a new option for setting the info line font, e.g: crop[font=small extsf] - automatically uses the currently loaded device dependent graphic[sx] driver; that can still be overridden by explicitly asking for a specific driver (dvips, pdf(la)tex, vtex currently supported) - supports the (no)graphics options also for pdftex - has a fix for a nasty bug, which disallowed setting custom physical paper sizes in the config file ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/crop replacing the old version. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
