alphplus 1st release
This package uses only TeX local counters and LaTeX primitives. It provides

They enable us to represent numbers up to 18,278 with lower/upper case
latin letters from a to zzz or A to ZZZ. After z comes aa and so on.

ABOUT
This small tool is used to seach some LaTeX packages that were listed in CTAN:
http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/.
The tool requires wget, lynx, gawk, wc and sed program to run correctly.
Some linux distribution doesnot contains lynx by default
and you must install lynx manually before running ./ctan.
So this tool requires a *nix-liked environment to work.
This tool was written by kyanh <xkyanh(a)gmail.com>
kyanh is a member of Vietnamese TeX Users Group <http://viettug.org>.
VERSION
1.0.0 2008/05/11: first version
USAGE
ctan : show all information about this tool
ctan grep <string> : search packages match <string>. grep ability is supported.
ctan update : update the package list (require lynx, wc and internet connection).
ctan get <string> : download packages match <string> to working directory (require wget).
EXAMPLES
ctan grep theorem # search for packages match theorem
ctan grep ^n # search for packages srated by n
ctan get ^n # download packages started by n
TODO
* package information supported

Name of contribution: MathType 6 for Windows

Location on CTAN: /support/mathtype
Summary description: Mathematical equation editor for Windows. English, French,
and German editions.
License type: other-nonfree
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MathType is a point and click mathematical equation editor. It is the
full-featured version of the Equation Editor that comes with Microsoft
Office and other products. While its mouse-centric user interface is
somewhat the antithesis of TeX's, it has a number of features that may
be of interest to members of the TeX community:
- It works with many Windows applications that TeX does not work
directly with, such as word processors, presentation programs like
PowerPoint, and many more. You can even place equations in flowcharts
made with programs like Visio.
- It can produce TeX and LaTeX code from its equations. This can be
helpful to someone learning TeX or just to take advantage of MathType's
ability to work directly in math notation in order to get the nested
braces right on a particularly gnarly equation.
- You can even type TeX language directly into the MathType window. This
allows you to get the best of both the WYSIWYG editing and TeX worlds.
- MathType can also produce GIF files for websites and blogs and EPS
files for desktop publishing chores.
MathType is supplied here as a 30-day evaluation. If you decide to
purchase MathType, you can use the Order MathType command within
MathType itself to purchase a product key. You can also visit the Design
Science website to learn more about MathType. If you have questions,
email them to support(a)dessci.com.

On Fri, 9 May 2008 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the
animate
package for creating portable PDF animations from graphics files and inline
graphics.
The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF
animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX
picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from
typeset text.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Animations produced with this updated version of animate.sty can now be played
in the current Adobe Reader 8 at a reasonable speed as well.
You might want to experiment with the graphical hardware acceleration feature
that was introduced in Reader 8. Go to menu `Edit'-->`Preferences'-->`Page
Display'-->`Rendering' to see whether hardware acceleration is available. A 2D
GPU acceleration check box will be visible if a supported video card has been
detected. (This is currently a Windows-only feature, though.)
Feedback is highly welcome, as in my case (different platform + unsupported
video card) there is no hardware acceleration available.
Without acceleration, animations are still somewhat slower (by approx. 20 %) in
Reader 8 than in older versions.
