Oleg Katsitadze has provided a package which has been mirrored,
automatically, to CTAN. He writes:
I'm happy to announce a new release of Eplain (3.2), a set of TeX
macros that expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a
style-neutral fashion. Eplain's home page is
http://tug.org/eplain
Location on CTAN is
/macros/eplain
The manual is available on-line from Eplain's home, or as a hard-copy
from
http://www.lulu.com/content/113810
(Royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group.)
Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file.
* Fixed a bug which caused silent indexing macros to output spurious
space in vertical mode.
* Added a switch to disable index file input/output.
* Fixed xref and bibliography label definition macros so that reading
in a .aux file with a large number of label definitions does not
overflow the save stack.
* Fixed double-column macros -- they were occasionally losing material
and producing columns too high to fit on a page. Also improved
appearance of the last column, which often came out spaced out.
==============
I've updated the catalogue, and the new version should be widely
available by now. Users may view the catalogue entry at

These are font bundles for the Chinese Arphic fonts which work with the CJK package.
Arphic is actually the name of the company that which created the fonts

Summary description: A curriculum vitae class for LaTeX2e
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm happy to annouce the next edition of CurVe, version 1.14.
New in this release:
- an option to reverse-count bibliographic entries
- localization to Polish
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.
