v2.0w: - Make S columns work with REVTeX
Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: /macros/latex/contrib/siunitx
Caption: A comprehensive (SI) units package.
Description: Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure
that the combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit
combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down
a consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be used.
However, different countries and publishers have differing
conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units). A
number of LaTeX packages have been developed to provide consistent
application of the various rules: SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and
units are the leading examples. The numprint package provides a
large number of number-related functions, while dcolumn and rccol
provide tools for typesetting tabular numbers.
The siunitx package takes the best from the existing packages, and
adds new features and a consistent interface. A number of new ideas
have been incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing provision. The
package also provides backward-compatibility with SIunits, sistyle,
unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one package to handle all of
the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX users.
The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the expl3 and xpackages
bundles.

Summary description: Uses a SWF file to create a graphing screen
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The acroflex package is part of the AeB Pro family of
packages. It is a package that creates a graphing screen
using the rmannot package. The user can type in
functions and graph them. A graphing screen can be
populated with pre-packaged functions for the user the
scrutinize and interact with. The package can graph
functions of a single variable x, a pair of parametric
equations that are functions of t, and a polar function
of t.
The graphing screen is a rich media annotation what uses
a specially developed SWF file, called the AcroFLeX
Graphing widget. This package takes advantage of rich
media annotations, which is a version 9 feature
of Acrobat. This package requires Acrobat Pro and
Distiller version 9. The user needs to use Adobe Reader
9.0 in order to obtain the graphing functionality.
