License type: …

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought I had lost this work in a hard disk crash back in 2001. Looking
in some old cds, to my surprise, I found it! This is said to explain the
release date written in the files, although the files are released today.
The package provides easy access to ancient greek names of days and months
of various regions of Greece. In case the hostorical information about a
region is not complete, we use the Athenian name of the month. Moreover
commands and options are provided, in order to completely switch to the
ancient way, commands such as oday.
In the meanwhile (since 2001) I have found, through more history research,
that the way oday should be structured must be a bit different. I will
fix this in a later release.
The package prefers to be useful (say to Greek Gentiles) than to be
historically accurate (for example a 13th month used in the ancient
calendar is not implemented here as it would not be useful). However,
even historians who are not gentiles may find interesting the information
presented in the package.

[View More]-------------------------------------------
The package contains macros for printing various 2/5 bar codes and Code 39
bar codes. The macros do not use fonts but create the bar codes directly
by vrules. It is therefore possible to vary width to height ratio, ratio
of thin and thick bars. The package is therefore convenient for printing
ITF bar codes as well as bar codes for identification labels for HP
storage media.
