Name of contribution: program.sty version 3.3.11
Author's name: Martin Ward
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/program
Summary description: A style file for typesetting programs in maths mode
with indentation
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a copy of my LaTeX2e style file for typesetting programs
and algorithms in my favourite style without having to type
in endless tabbing commands. Each line is set in math mode
so all the indentation and spacing is done automatically.
The notation |variable_name| can be used within normal text,
maths expressions or programs to indicate a variable name.
Use origbar to get a normal | symbol in a program.
The commands A, B, R, T and typeset the corresponding bold
letter with the next object as a substript (eg S1 typesets {f
S$_1$} etc). They now cope with primes as well, (eg $S2'''$). The
program.sty file can be easily edited to reflect your favoured style.
Typesetting a program is as easy as:
(IF x
e 0 THEN |long_name|_{123} = x^y FI)
See the program-demo.tex file for examples.
The file should work with or without AMSLaTeX.

location is printed.
- The option 'shorthandibid' can now also be used on a

entry is set and the 'volume' field of the corresponding
parent entry is not set, the volume of the child entry

Name of contribution: ionumbers
Author's name: Christian Schneider
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers
Summary description: restyle numbers in math mode
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`ionumbers' stands for `input/output numbers'.
This package restyles numbers in math mode. If a number in the input file
is written, e.g., as |$3,231.44$| as commonly used in English texts, this
package is able to restyle it to be output as `$3,231{,}44$' as commonly
used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be very useful, if you
have a large table and want to include it in texts with different output
conventions without the need of changing the table.
Furthermore this package can automatically group digits left to the
decimal separator (thousands) and right to the decimal separator
(thousandths) in triplets without the need of specifing commas
(English) or points (German) as separators. E.g., the input
|$1234.567890$| can be output as `$1,234.,567,890$'.
Finally, an |e| starts the exponent of the number. For example,
|$21e6$| may be output as `$26 imes10,^{6}$'.

Summary description: Enhanced support for GUST's Latin Modern fonts.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is experimental.
The package supports a number of features of the Latin Modern fonts
which are not easily accessible via the default (La)TeX support provided
in the official distribution. In particular, the package supports the use
of the various styles of digits available, small-caps and upright italic
shapes, and alternative weights and widths. It also supports variable
width typewriter and the quotation font.
By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits and variable
width typewriter but this can be changed by passing appropriate options
to the package. The package also supports using e.g. different styles of
digits within a document so it is possible to use proportional oldstyle
digits by default, say, but tabular lining digits within a particular
table. See the README for details.
The package requires the official Latin Modern distribution, including
ts (La)TeX support. The package relies on the availability of both the
fonts themselves and the official font support files.
Only the T1 and TS1 encodings are supported for text fonts. The set up
of fonts for mathematics is identical to that provided by Latin Modern.
