CTAN submission -- leftidx package
by Reinhard Zierke 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded leftidx-1_03.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains a new version of the leftidx package. Please replace all files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/leftidx by its contents. License stays LPPL. The new version has been changed to dtx format and includes an English documentation. The implementation has been simplyfied using vphantom instead of mathchoice and different rules. >From the README: This package enables left subscripts and superscripts in math mode. These subscripts and superscripts are automatically raised for better fitting to the symbol they belong to. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/leftidx/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: TeX for the Impatient
by Jim Hefferon 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

The new package described below has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in a day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: TeX for the Impatient Author's name: Karl Berry Location on CTAN: info/impatient/ Summary description: GFDL'd distribution of TeX for the Impatient. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The book TeX for the Impatient was originally published in 1990 by Addison-Wesley. It contains both tutorial and reference information on primitive and plain TeX; it does not discuss LaTeX. Now, it's been declared out of print and A-W has reverted all rights to us, the authors. We've decided to make the book available in source form, under the GNU Free Documentation License, as our way of supporting the community which supported the book in the first place. Information about the free edition is included in the preface, the copyright page, and the README. We'd be interested in hearing about any projects undertaken with this material. We don't plan to make any further changes or additions to the book ourselves, except for correction of any outright errors reported to us, and perhaps inclusion of the illustrations. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
