27 May '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and will make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: clefval Author's name: Yvon Henel Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/clefval Summary description: clefval.sty provides two macros TheKey and TheValue to define then use pairs of key/value and gives a semblance of hash. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- clefval.sty provides two macros TheKey and TheValue to define then use pairs of key/value and gives a semblance of hash. Syntax: TheKey{key}{value} to define the value associated to the key, does not produce text; TheValue}{key} to insert the value linked to the key. Both arguments of TheKey are `moving' as LaTeX{} defines it and we have sometimes to protect them. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/clefval although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors _______________________________________________ Ctan mailing list Ctan(a)dante.de https://sun.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/ctan ------- End of forwarded message -------

CTAN has a new package: engrec

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should make its way to your favorite mirror real soon now. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: engrec Author's name: Yvon Henel Author's email: Yvon.Henel(a)wanadoo.fr Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/engrec Summary description: Two macros engrec and EnGrec to enumerate, for example some lists, with lower case or upper case greek letters.

Provides macros omicron and upomicron to give sloped and upright shape of omicron. There are options to chose between the shape of the lowercase greek letters for which two variants are classicaly provided. With option upgreek, upgreek.sty is loaded and the lowercase letters are shown upright. Option slgreek, default, is the opposite.

CTAN package update: cm-lgc
by Jim Hefferon 26 May '04

26 May '04

This package has been updated on CTAN. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ========================================================== Announcement text provided by the package author: The cm-lgc font package contains a set of Type 1 fonts, converted from the METAFONT sources, which covers 3 European alphabets (LGC stands for Latin, Greek, Cyrillic) and the corresponding TeX font encodings. It also includes Unicode virtual fonts which may be used with Omega/Lambda. Unlike other Type 1 font packages based on original METAFONT files, CM-LGC doesn't tend to cover all the fonts available in the METAFONT format. In particular, each font family and shape is represented with a single file which is used in all point sizes. This allows to keep the whole package compact but still enough powerful and sufficient for regular work. Another goal of the CM-LGC font package is to provide a set of 8-bit fonts suitable for use outside of TeX. That's why all the PFB files it includes contain meaningful PostScript names (e.g. CMRoman Bold Italic) and have standard encoding vectors (e. g. AdobeStandard for Latin fonts), while virtual fonts are used to combine glyphs present in those PFB files into TeX-specific codepages. The latest package release (v. 0.3) contains some important improvements and bug fixes, which hopefully make the whole package really stable. This version also includes INF files, so that installing the fonts under MS Windows becomes really easy. =============================================================== You can visit the package (so it doesn't get lonely) at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/cm-lgc

CTAN package update: CurVe
by Jim Hefferon 23 May '04

23 May '04

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and by now has made its way to a mirror near you. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/curve Summary description: A Curriculum Vitae class for LaTeX2e License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm happy to announce release 1.7 of CurVe. New in this release: ** Support for key horizontal alignment ** aggedleft and aggedright can now be used within individual entries ** Fix typo in Danish version of continuedname CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/curve although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

new machine for cambridge ctan
by Robin Fairbairns 22 May '04

22 May '04

cambridge has a new ctan machine; it's now been up and working on the addresses cam.ctan.org, ftp.tex.ac.uk (ftp protocol) and rsync.tex.ac.uk (rsync protocol) for well over 24 hours. even the most dilatory name server should get you to the new machine, now. this is the third machine that has served ctan since it came to cambridge, and it's not come a moment too soon -- the old machine was providing rather poor performance. the machine is a dual 2.6ghz xeon with 2gbyte of memory and lots of disc. we believe it will support applications at an acceptable level for some time. the machine was purchased with a grant from the uk tex users' group, and the ctan team is also grateful to the university of cambridge computer laboratory for continuing to provide a friendly home to ctan. the observant will have noticed that i did not mention www.tex.ac.uk, above. that is still being hosted by the laboratory's main web server. there are (ahem) structural difficulties with moving the web service, and we decided to go live with what we could, as soon as i could make at least something work reliably, Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
