CTAN has a new package: pst-math
by Jim Hefferon 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror real soon. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: pst-math Author's name: Christophe Jorssen Location on CTAN: graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-math Summary description: Enhancement of postscript math operators to use with pstricks License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Postscript lacks a lot of basic operators such as tan, acos, asin, cosh, sinh, tanh, acosh, asinh, atanh, exp (with e base). Also, cos and sin give result in degrees. pst-math provides all those operators in a header file pst-math.pro with wrappers pst-math.sty and pst-math.tex. In addition, sinc, gauss, gammaln and bessel are implemented (only partially for the latter). pst-math is designed essentially to work with pst-plot but can be used in whatever PS code (such as pstricks SpecialCoor !, useful to put labels). This work is in progress! PS is limited to single precision so complex operators like gammaln can give erroneous results. Any help on implementing double precision math in PS would be highly appreciated :-) - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-math 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

v1.1 of TeX Directory Structure document
by Reinhard Zierke 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

----- Forwarded message from Karl Berry <karl(a)freefriends.org> ----- After a lengthy review process, I've released version 1.1 of the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) document. HTML: http://tug.org/tds/ PDF: http://tug.org/tds/tds.pdf DVI: http://tug.org/tds/tds.dvi sources and all output: ftp://tug.org/tex/tds/ It should propagate to CTAN (in the top-level tds directory) shortly. Here is the summary of the non-editorial changes: * Inputs for TeX extensions included under `tex', instead of in their own top-level directories. * New top-level directory `scripts'. * New subdirectories `lig', `opentype', `truetype', and `type3' under `fonts'. * `enc', `lig', and `map' all use `SYNTAX/PACKAGE' subdirectories. * `pfm' files specified to go under `type1', and `inf' files under `afm'. There is more information and rationale for each of these changes cross-referenced in the document. Happy TeX structuring, Karl Berry (on behalf of the TDS working group) ----- End forwarded message ----- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- NEdit LaTeX Extensions update
by Reinhard Zierke 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

----- Forwarded message from Joerg Fischer ----- I have uploaded an update for the NEdit LaTeX Extensions at ftp.dante.de to /support/NEdit-LaTeX-Extensions/. The new version is 0.8a. License is GPL. This version is triggered by a bug report. Using large bib files containing @String can lock NEdit (sorry for this). For all changes see the Changelog. Please remove all of the files in the NEdit LaTeX Extensions folder and add the submitted files to this folder. Text for announcement: The NEdit LaTeX-Mode is a package or set of macros, i.e. small programs, written in the NEdit macro or scripting language. It will turn NEdit, the Nirvana text editor, into an advanced LaTeX editor. Version 0.8a fixes some problems. If you have downloaded version 0.8, it will be enough to come to http://nedit.gmxhome.de/latexmode.html and download only the changed files (instead of the whole package). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:support/NEdit-LaTeX-Extensions. However, I renamed the file Readme to README allowing it to be automagically displayed by some web browsers. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

metatype1 on ctan
by Robin Fairbairns 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

metatype1 is the tool used to build the excellent lm fonts (there's a paper by boguslaw jackowski coming in the proceedings of the 1993 tug conference, which the tugboat team are currently working on). the authors of metatype1 have now agreed that it should appear on ctan, so i have mirrored its home site to fonts/utilities/metatype1. the directory also contains the source of an extended version of knuth's logo font, which serves as an example of the use of metatype1.

latex companion examples
by Robin Fairbairns 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

those of you who've already got a copy of the latex companion, second edition, may have noticed a remark (top of p14) that the examples were going to be on ctan. the arrangement was that i would install them as soon as my copy arrived. my copy took some time in the maws of the publishers' system... ... but arrived today. so, from today, there is indeed a ctan directory info/examples/tlc2, which contains files for running the examples in the book. so, even people without the book (and its accompanying cd) can now use the examples without further ado.
