CTAN update: tif2eps
by CTAN Announcements 13 Feb '05

13 Feb '05

On Sat, 12 Feb 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz uploaded version 0.78 of the tif2eps package. Authors: Boguslaw Jackowski, P. Pianowski and P. Strzelczyk License: GPL Location on CTAN: support/pstools/tif2eps TIF2EPS is a PostScript program for the conversion of TIFF files (ver. 6.0) to EPS ones. Compression (LZW, CCITT Fax, RLE, Flate, DCT) and ASCII85 encoding is available. The package may be used for generating colour- separated EPSes, `EPS thumbnails,' and, moreover, little header EPSes, containing only a pointer to a source TIFF file. Employing Ghostscript guarantees portability and efficient processing. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update notification: ltxdiff
by CTAN Announcements 13 Feb '05

13 Feb '05

On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 Bernd Becker submitted an update to his ltxdiff package. Location on CTAN: /support/ltxdiff Summary description: A Win32 program(me) that compares tokens in two .tex files (or directories [+subdirectories] containing .tex files) and marks them if it thinks it can License type: nosource Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A Win32 program(me) that compares tokens in two .tex files (or directories [+subdirectories] containing .tex files) and may mark differences according to the options set by using GNU Diff to find tokens to be marked. It tries to be clever at this and won't mark something if it thinks it shouldn't, ie. \[10mm] won't be marked as changed if it was \[8mm]. The number of commands and environments it knows is small (the ones I use in my game design) and include some of my own, which might lead to strange behaviour or even crashes or endless loops - being able to interrupt the program(me) with CTRL+C comes in handy in such cases - if you use commands/environments of the same name but different definition. An other diff program(me) may be used if it has the switches -b, -B, -d, and -E and they are compatible to GNU Diff's. Changes: 1. corrections and additions to readme.txt (you shouldn't write in a second language if you've fever) it should make a bit of sense now at least. 2. -b and -c switches compiled in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.
