by Reinhard Zierke 29 Sep '02

29 Sep '02

----- Forwarded message from Walter Schmidt ----- I have uploaded the file upgreek.dtx to the /incoming directory at dante.ctan.org. Please, substitute it for the present file in the directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/was. This is a new release (v2.0) of my package upgreek.sty, which makes the Euler or Symbol typeface available as an upright Greek math alphabet. This version can optionally scale the Adobe Symbol font so as to match the other typefaces used in the document. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/was/upgreek.dtx Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
