Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: /macros/latex/contrib/inputtrc
Caption: Trace which file loads which.
Description: The package produces screen/log messages of the form
‘<current> INPUTTING <next>’ reporting LaTeX input commands
(<current> and <next> being file names). The message is indented to
reflect the level of input nesting.
Tracing may be turned on and off, and the unit of indentation may be
adjusted.
The implementation somewhat resembles those of packages filehook,
FiNK and inputfile.

> -------------------- About BaKoMa TeX 9.42 --------------
> ----
>
> BaKoMa TeX 9.42 supports two coexisting IDE:
>
> 1) BaKoMa TeX Word - True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
> 2) Text Editor + DVI Viewer - Classical IDE.
>
> They are high compatible, so that you can choose what
> to use
> depend on kind of a document or stage of work under a
> document.
>
> Furthermore, one document may be opened simultaneously
> in
> TeXWord and Text Editor. Such that you can easily
> switch between
> approaches by using Alt+TAB key.
>
> About BaKoMa TeX Word.
>
> BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
>
> The word `True' is used to highlight two following
> facts:
>
> 1) It is True WYSIWYG Editor.
> It means that display shows precisely the same what
> will be printed.
> It looks such that you edit your document
> immediately in DVI Viewer.
> 2) It is True LaTeX Editor.
> It edits LaTeX source text without any
> import/export procedure.
> It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e
> document.
>
> BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic
> engine and
> consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX
> related
> with import graphics, font support, and document
> export.
>
> It supports processors:
> (1) Standard TeX and (2) e-TeX.
> Other processors such as Omega may be added in
> future.
>
> It imports:
> EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX,
> MSP, BMP, FIG, HPGL, and DXY.
> It supports fonts:
> OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, PostScript Type1
> (including MM),
> PostScript Type 3, and TeX PK/VF.
> It exports:
> DVI, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG (with HTML wrapper), and
> HTML (TeX4HT).
>
> It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible
> via DVIPS
> compatible special interface that supports such macro
> packages as:
> PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy,
> PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.
>
> Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is
> final step corrections of LaTeX papers before
> publishing.
>
> Editing slides in WYSIWYG interface
> (with such packages as PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer,
> etc.)
> is another impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'.
>
> TeXWord dramatically simplifies editing complex
> formulas and tables.
>
> TeXWord is transparent for cooperation.
> TeXWord don't use additional macro packages.
> It uses only standard LaTeX packages, so that
> documents made up
> in TeXWord may be compiled in any LaTeX setup
> without any adaptation.
> In other side, TeXWord can handle arbitrary LaTeX
> documents.
> So, that your coleagues may even don't know that
> you use
> powerful WYSIWYG tool to edit your part of common
> work.
>
> Beginner users of LaTeX may consider TeXWord as
> good start point for learning LaTeX together with

Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: /macros/latex/contrib/fileinfo
Caption: get file infos without loading; listfiles -- mine only
Description: 'readprov.sty' renders GetFileInfo from LaTeX's
'doc.sty' (without the latter being reqired), as well as new robust
(expandable) variants of it, usable with files that are not really
loaded (they are quit when their file info is found). So, e.g., you
can describe packages that are incompatible with each other or with
packages that your document uses. You even can report about various
class files. Such files also enter listfiles.
[related package: zwgetfdate]
'myfilist.sty' uses this so listfiles need not show files that were
used, rather just files you want to know about. In a TeX script,
you can choose some files and their order. Their names can be output
into a plain text file with their dates, version ids, and one-line
descriptions, formatted in the way listfiles does it after a LaTeX
run. This way you can get an overview of, e.g., some package bundle
...

Author's name: Karl Berry
Location on CTAN: /systems/pdftex/manual
Summary description: enhanced manual for 1.40.11
License type: fdl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new version of the manual for pdftex 1.40.11 is now
available. It includes documentation on some primitives
which have been available for some time but never included
in the manual, and miscellaneous other fixes.
Special thanks to Paul Isambert for drafting most of the new
text.
To be sure it's clear: pdftex itself is entirely unchanged
and no new versions of the program have been released since
1.40.11 (in TeX Live 2010). This update is only about the
manual.
