Hence, the commands provided are not intended for use at the document level nor for use in describing design layouts in document class files. This API provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other advanced extensions are built. Special care has been taken so that they can be used within a LaTeX2e context as regular packages. users should review the rest of the (extensive) readme file for further details. note that the package's directory has moved location on ctan. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/expl3.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/contrib/expl3 thanks for the upload; i have updated the catalogue and it should by now be visible at most mirror sites.

Distribution managers should note the change of licence (it was other-free in my categorisation). The font should therefore be removed from distributions. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
