CTAN has a new package: QCM
by Jim Hefferon 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and I expect that it has already arrived at your favorite mirror. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: QCM Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/qcm Summary description: A LaTeX2e class for making multiple choices questionnaires License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first public release of QCM. This package provides you with a document class for making multiple choices questionnaires (QCM is the corresponding French acronym) under LaTeXe. A special environment allows you to define questions and possible answers that you can specify as correct or wrong. QCM not only formats the questions for you, but also generates a form (a grid that your students will have to fill in), and a mask (the same grid, already filled in properly). You can then print the mask on a slide and correct the questionnaires more easily by superimposing the mask on top of students' forms. QCM also comes with support for AUC-TeX. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/qcm although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN submission: updated minitoc package
by Reinhard Zierke 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

----- Forwarded message from Jean-Pierre Drucbert ----- I just uploaded a new version of the `minitoc' package in ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/minitoc.tar.gz package: minitoc version: 39 position on CTAN : tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/minitoc/ (should replace the version 38) licence: LPPL updates versus version 38: ======================================================================= Version #39 Corrections in documentation modern font commands added @fileswfalse and mtc@hook@beforeinputfile for the notoccite package (asked for by Donald Arseneau) added notoccite option (loads the notoccite package) added language options and .mld files for dialects: canadian (=english) acadian, acadien, canadien (=french) naustrian, ngerman (=ngermanb) added comments in .mld files using special fonts. corrections in the documentation added a paragraph about making a TOC for appendices, not listed in the main TOC. added a PDF version of the english documentation (I used the txfonts to get a better rendering with PDF; the dangerous bend signs are still in a bit-map font, but it is not vital). TODO: compatibility with the memoir class TODO: omtcpagenumbers & memoir class ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload; I installed as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/minitoc/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN package update: PerlTeX
by Jim Hefferon 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should already have arrived at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the update, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: PerlTeX Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/perltex Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability. The following changes have been made from the previous version of PerlTeX: * perlmacros.sty has been renamed to perltex.sty. * PerlTeX macros can now return LaTeX code which in turn invokes other PerlTeX macros. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN upload notification: psethiop
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

----- Forwarded message from ----- Name of contribution: psethiop Name and email: Malte Rosenau <mrosena(a)gwdg.de> Suggested location on CTAN: fonts/psethiop Summary description: Type1 fonts for ethiop.sty License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a set of Type1 fonts for ethiop.sty, a LaTeX package for typesetting Ethiopian languages. The 44 Postscript fonts included in this collection were created from the original Metafont sources with mftrace. Despite the fact that potrace does an amazing job, the quality of the individual glyphs is by no means as good as in the original bitmap version, so please do NOT use them for printing purposes. They look pretty much ok in pdf files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the fonts in CTAN:fonts/ps-type1/ethiop/ and created a link from CTAN:language/ethiopia/psethiop/ to fonts/ps-type1/ethiop/ (CTAN:language/ethiopia/ethiop/ is the place of the original font) Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
