CTAN has a new package: Greekdates
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

This package is new at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Greekdates Author's name: Antonis Tsolomitis Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/greekdates Summary description: Provides access to ancient greek names of days, months, dates etc. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I thought I had lost this work in a hard disk crash back in 2001. Looking in some old cds, to my surprise, I found it! This is said to explain the release date written in the files, although the files are released today. The package provides easy access to ancient greek names of days and months of various regions of Greece. In case the hostorical information about a region is not complete, we use the Athenian name of the month. Moreover commands and options are provided, in order to completely switch to the ancient way, commands such as oday. In the meanwhile (since 2001) I have found, through more history research, that the way oday should be structured must be a bit different. I will fix this in a later release. The package prefers to be useful (say to Greek Gentiles) than to be historically accurate (for example a 13th month used in the ancient calendar is not implemented here as it would not be useful). However, even historians who are not gentiles may find interesting the information presented in the package.

Summary description: Aurical calligraphic fonts v1.5 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 1.5 of aurical. This is a bugfix release. Some glyph names were not compliant to the Adobe Glyph Naming convention.

The fonts are: * Auriocus Kalligraphicus * Lukas Svatba * Jana Skrivana Each font features oldstyle digits and (machine-generated) boldface and slanted versions. Lukas Svatba is provided in a variant with a long s with the same input convention as in fraktur.sty by Matthias Mühlich. This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License. See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.lppl.html for the details of that license. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/aurical .

With this in mind, > AroundTheBend.tex and AroundTheBend.pdf are under the LPPL. i have installed your rather nice looking bundle in the CTAN directory info/challenges/AroBend (and in parallel moved Mike's original stuff to info/challenges/aro-bend, though the old directory name for aro-bend remains available for the time being). i've also catalogued the new package. thanks for the upload. users may view the (meagre) catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/around-the-bend.html or browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/challenges/AroBend/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
