CTAN Submission -- draftcopy
by Reinhard Zierke 25 Aug '01

25 Aug '01

----- Forwarded message from Jürgen Vollmer ----- I put a new version (2.14) of my draftcopy package to ftp.dante.de This package is used to print on some pages the word `DRAFT' (or the language dependent analogon) ``behind'' the intended stuff. The following files are contained in draftcopy.tar.gz draftcopy/draftcopy.ins draftcopy/draftcopy.doc draftcopy/Makefile draftcopy/README draftcopy/THIS-IS-VERSION-2.14 Please put it into tex/macros/latex/contrib/supported/draftcopy I'm looking still for translations for the word DRAFT. Have a look into draftcopy.sty, which are missing and send me some... Who knows an easy way to typeset foreign letters like Ü in postscript? Who knows how to implement draftcopy stuff for PDF? Changes since the last version: - Added conditional, final and draft options - Added draftcopyPageX, etc. to specify the start of the text on the page - Added draftcopySetScaleFactor to specify a scailng factor - Added the timestamp option and the draftcopyVersion macro - Added the greek language option (i.e. DRAFT is printed in the greek translation with greek letters) With best regards Jürgen Vollmer PS: Thanks to all people, sending me new ideas and code, your are mentioned in the package code. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission. I installed it as suggested in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/draftcopy/ replacing the old version Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

new package on CTAN: filecontents
by Jim Hefferon 24 Aug '01

24 Aug '01

A new LaTeX package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring process in the next day or two. Jim Hefferon ==================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: filecontents Name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/filecontents Summary description: Less-limited version of LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments License type: lppl Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it's run through latex. However, there are two limitations of these environments: They refuse to overwrite existing files, and they can be used only before the documentclass declaration. The filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you overwrite existing files and letting you use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN submission -- PSNFSS 8.2 final release
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Aug '01

23 Aug '01

The LaTeX required package PSNFSS is now version 8.2, i.e. I renamed the directory CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss-beta to CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss. >From the changelog (file changes.txt): 2001-06-04 PSNFSS-v8.2 * mathpazo.sty: Changed behavior of the options sc and osf; jmath and imath changed back to type 'mathord', as in normal LaTeX. * mathptm.sty: Revoked the changes re. AMS fonts, since the package is only provided for use with legacy douments, anyway. * Many changes to the documentation (psnfss2e.*). * test1.tex, test2.tex, test3.tex: Fixed typo. 2001/05/27 PSNFSS-v8.2beta * mathpazo.sty: An improved version of this package is now part of the PSNFSS distribution. * freenfss.zip: Added TFM, VF and FD files for the Pazo fonts. * mathptmx.sty New option: [slantedGreek] * The AMS fonts are scaled properly now, when used in conjunction with the packages mathptmx, mathpple or mathpazo. Specifying the [psamsfonts] option for the packages amsfonts or amssymb may be needed wrt/ the Euler Fraktur fonts, but will not affect the scaling of the others. * ot1*.fd: additional font shape substitition bx/ui -> b/it * fixed TFM file zptmcm7y.tfm so as to raise the subscripts generated by mathptmx (pr/3279) * fixed FD files for Adobe Courier so as to disable hyphenation (I wonder why this bug was never noticed...) * test file completely revised Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
