Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Update: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities - 07 Author's name: Danie Els Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch Summary description: Typesetting dissertations, theses and reports of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The usthesis class/style files are provided to typeset reports, theses and dissertations that conform to the requirements of the Engineering Faculty of the University of Stellenbosch. The class file usthesis.cls is based on the standard LaTeX book class, while usthesis.sty is a style file to be loaded on top of the very powerful memoir class. Both options give identical output, but the benefit of the using memoir is that it has many additional command and environments for formatting and processing of a document. Usthesis is primarily concerned with the formatting of the front matter such as the title page, abstract, etc. and a decent page layout on A4 paper. It also works together with the babel package to provide language options to typeset documents in Afrikaans or in English. Additional packages are provided for bibliographic matter, note title pages, lists of symbols, as well as various graphic files for logos. CHANGES FROM 06: USthesis: v4.0 a) Fix errors in report title page b) Move all language specific commands to external files c) Comply with University requirements - Change declaration page d) Update documentation e) Fix ifpdf error in usthesis.cls USnomencl: v1.1 a) Add UnitLine command to type lines with unit declarations Thesis templates: a) Change templates for new options in memoir class b) Remove unnecessary packages ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch .

CTAN Update: pict2e
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, Josef Tkadlec submitted an update to the pict2e package. This package was described in the 2nd edition of ‘LaTeX: A Document Preparation System’, but the LaTeX project team declined to produce the package. For a long time, LaTeX has included a ‘pict2e package’ that merely produced an apologetic error message. The new package extends the existing LaTeX picture environment, using the familiar technique (cf. thegraphics and color packages) of driver files. The package documentation has a fair number of examples of use, showing where things are improved by comparison with the LaTeX picture environment. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pict2e License: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed: extended slope arguments for line and vector; horizontal and vertical lines use PS/PDF operators, too. Added: macros for drawing arcs, lines given by endpoints, polygons; path constructions (as in PS/PDF); control of shapes of line ends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pict2e . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pict2e (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: Phaistos.otf
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

On Fri, 27 Jun 2008, Apostolos Syropoulos submitted an update to the phaistos package. It is a A font that contains all the symbols of the famous Disc of Phaistos, together with a LaTeX package. The disc was ‘printed’ by stamping the wet clay with some sort of punches, probably around 1700 BCE. There are those who believe that this Cretan script was used to ‘write’ Greek (it is known, for example, that the rather later Cretan Linear B script was used to write Greek), but arguments for other languages have been presented. Given that the disc is the only known example of the script, it seems unlikely that a decipherment will ever be confirmed. Location on CTAN: /fonts/archaic/phaistos License: lppl Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that the symbols of the Disk of Phaistos are included in Unicode, I have created an OpenType font from the Type 1 font that we had created some years ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
