It is a zip archive newlfm.zip The package is stored at macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/newlfm Here is a brief description of newlfm: Announcing newlfm.cls 3.2 (NEW Letter Fax Memo) newlfm integrates the letter class with fancyhdr and geometry to o automatically make letterhead stationary o includes support for a database for addresses; instead of putting all the information for different letters into different letters, you put it in the database, and pull it into the letter with a single command o includes support for other languages, including pig Latin o includes a number of excluded article.cls features (table, figure) o integrates support for memos and faxes within the same package o full support for positioning of items (moving the date up or down; putting the date between from and to blocks; etc.) o supports mass mailings and form letters easily and simply o prints addresses on labels. One Avery label type is set up, while others are being added. Additionally, the envlab package has been integrated into newlfm, so that all of the features of envlab are now available in newlfm o supports 3 different types of letters (standard, business) and includes full control for positioning of letter elements o has a full manual, for ease of use. The manual has been rewritten and reformatted newlfm.cls is released under the lppl guidelines, or under gpl or under lgpl, whichever is LESS RESTRICTIVE ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

minor update of uk tex faq
by Robin Fairbairns 15 Nov '01

15 Nov '01

i've just installed another minor update of the uk faq on ctan (help/uk-tex-faq) and on the faq web site (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq) the changes are mostly small: a couple of corrected typos, a corrected address for the omega mailing list. the one substantial item is the first stab at listing macos x tex support (text thanks to norman gray, who actually _uses_ a mac...)
