filemod
package.
Summary description: Package to display and compare file modifcation dates
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides macros to read and compare the modification dates
of files. These files can be .tex files, images or other files as long as they can be
found by the LaTeX compiler. It uses the pdffilemoddate primitive of pdfLaTeX
to receive the file modification date as PDF date string, parses it and returns
the value to the user. This package will also work for DVI output with recent
versions of the LaTeX compiler which uses pdfLTEX in DVI mode. The functionality
is provided by purely expandable macros or by faster but non-expandable ones.
Examples:
% Prints file modification date and time of main file
filemodprint{jobname}
% Include newest of a set of files:
input{filemodNewest{{file1}{file2}{file3}}}

mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Previous versions modified solely mathnormal, mathrm and
mathbf. The new release also links mathit, mathsf and
mathtt to the document text fonts (at the time of loading
the package or at each call to the macro Mathastext when it
is used for defining math-as-text versions). In its current
state, mathastext can thus be seen as providing a somewhat
complete generic math support for Latin text fonts provided
without one.
