CTAN package update: a mexican dialect of spanish
by CTAN Announcements 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: a mexican dialect of spanish Author's name: Luis Rivera Location on CTAN: /language/spanish/nonstandard/mx Summary description: language and configuration files to typeset spanish in mexico License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed an unfortunate choice of filename: on some distributions, the included spanish.cfg was automatically installed, thus becoming automatically default; the file has been renamed to esmx.cfg, so you have to create the spanish.cfg file, if not present, and type `include esmx.cfg' explicitly into spanish.cfg to make the mexican spanish default. The README file has been updated accordingly. With my apologies to all users affected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/spanish/nonstandard/mx . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/spanish-mx (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
