A new LaTex file pst-asr-examples.tex (along with the pdf file it produces) is provided. This file requires only the pstricks, pst-xkeyval, and pst-asr packages and has minimal formatting so that users should be able to LaTex it with little difficulty. It is provided to facilitate user experimentation. A bug in pst-asr is fixed, so that asr constructions work correctly if | directly follows asr in an enviroment in which it is not an active character. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-asr .

CTAN package upload: purifyeps

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at the mirror that you like best. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: purifyeps Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/purifyeps Summary description: Convert an ordinary Encapsulated PostScript file into one that works with both LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. purifyeps converts EPS files into a purified form that can be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs. This release updates the documentation according to some corrections sent to me by Heiko Oberdiek. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/purifyeps .
