Eplain's home page is http://tug.org/eplain You can get it off CTAN at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain The manual is available on-line from CTAN or Eplain home page, or as a hard-copy from http://www.lulu.com/content/113810 (royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group). Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file. * Eplain repository moved from cvs.sarovar.org:/cvsroot/eplain to svn://tug.org/eplain/trunk. * Changed ProcessOptions from miniltx.tex to gobble the optional star argument, to accommodate the new version of epstopdf.sty. Thanks to everybody who contributed with bug reports, feature suggestions and code patches. Oleg Katsitadze
