30 Jul '08

On Sun, 27 Jul 2008 Christoph Bersch submitted an update to the pst-optexp package. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp Summary description: Drawing optical experimental setups. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package pst-optexp is a collection of optical components that facilitate easy sketching of optical experimental setups. Mechanisms for proper alignment of different components are provided internally. This way the user does not have to care for proper orientation of the elements. The changes in this new main version: * Added fiber-optical components * Added support for components with internal refraction (e.g. prisms) * Added support for arbitrary connection types (fiber and beam mixed). Components can be connected directly at definition time or later. * Added new free-ray objects - optdiode - pentaprism - ightangleprism - doveprism - optprism * Added support for supplementary nodes for electric connections ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp .

CTAN has a new package: Greekdates
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

This package is new at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Greekdates Author's name: Antonis Tsolomitis Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/greekdates Summary description: Provides access to ancient greek names of days, months, dates etc. License type: lppl 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.
