A package has been upgraded on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to a mirror near you very shortly. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ====================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: rotpages Author's name: Sergio Callegari Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/rotpages Summary description: Typeset multiple pages upside-down with page order rearrangement License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rotpages.sty R3.0 Copyright 2002 Sergio Callegari The rotpages.sty package for latex 2e permits to format documents where small sets of pages are rotated by 180 degrees and rearranged, so that they can be read by turning the printed copy upside-down. It was primarly meant for collecting exercises and solutions: the package permits to print the exercise text normally and the solutions rotated. This is release 3.0 of the package, with many enhancements over release 1.0. Release 2.0 has never been distributed. Note that release 3.0 is *not* compatible with version 1.0, however documents written for version 1.0 can be easily converted to take advantage of the features of version 3.0.

CTAN submission -- fonts/greek/psgreek
by Reinhard Zierke 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

Some months ago, Alexej Kryukov submitted this to CTAN: ----- Forwarded message from Alexej Kryukov ----- Name of contribution: psgreek Name and email: Alexej Kryukov <basileia(a)yandex.ru> Suggested location on CTAN: /tex-archive/fonts/greek/ Summary description: LaTeX support for (some) PostScript Greek fonts License type: LPPL Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `Psgreek1' package provide LaTeX support for popular Type 1 Greek fonts in WinGreek encoding. The `Psgreek1' package includes 3 fonts: Greek Garamond by Carmelo Lupini (http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Workshop/3799/download.htm), Greek Oxonia and original WinGreek font. As far as I know, all these fonts are distributed free of charge. They don't contain kerning. For each typerface virtual fonts are provided, rearranging its mapping according to so-called LGR encoding, e. g. to the layout of Claudio Beccari's Greek fonts, which seem to became a standard for LaTeX. There are two main differences from this mapping: - ligatures for final sigma aren't supported. So, in order to get this symbol you must explicitly type the latin letter `c'. - in order two produce the circumflex accent you can type the equal sign (=) as well as ASCII tilde (~). Furthermore, for each font virtual fonts with faked small capitals are included. I provided also a set of virtual font in my own encoding, called LEL, as well as description for this encoding (lelenc.def). This encoding is based on standard modern Greek mapping, and so it may be preferred by users with Greek codepage (ELOT 928 or Windows 1253). INSTALLATION AND USAGE First you must put font files and `psgreek.sty' in any location, there LaTeX can find them. If your TeX tree is TDS compliant, you can simply unpack *.zip files in your TEXMF directory. Then add font definitions from psgreek.map to your psfonts.map file (usually this file resides in ../dvips/config/ directory). In order to use Type 1 Greek fonts in your document, you have to load the Babel package with `greek' or `polutonikogreek' option. I prefer Babel version 3.6, since version 3.7 has many bugs and doesn't work properly. Then load `psgreek' package with the font name as option. The following names are supported: `regular' for original WinGreek font, `garamond' for Greek Garamond, `oxonia' for Greek Oxonia, `oldface' for Greek Old Face, `milan' for Milan. You can change your greek font in any time redefining the `greekfont' command (for example: enewcommand{greekfont}{myfont} Use `greek' environment or `localgreek{text goes here}' command for switching to Greek font and language. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't install it at that time because I had some problems with the naming and the directory structure - among others, the name psgreek suggests that it is a general solution for Greek postscript fonts - and then I let the matter drift into the backlog. Sorry about that; now I installed the package on CTAN in the directory CTAN:/tex-archive/fonts/greek/psgreek/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN upload -- preview-latex-0.7.7.tar.gz
by Reinhard Zierke 18 Dec '02

18 Dec '02

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.7.7.tar.gz and preview-0.7.7.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL. I would recommend installing it in the following way: Put the packed archive preview-latex-0.7.7.tar.gz under support/preview-latex/ and unpack the README from it to support/preview-latex/README Create a symbolic link from support/preview-latex/preview-latex.tar.gz to preview-latex-0.7.7.tar.gz so that people can always get the newest version under this name. Unpack preview-0.7.7.tar.gz in the directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ It contains just README-preview, preview.dtx and preview.ins. The reason is that the preview.dtx file can also be used as a standalone LaTeX style for extracting selected elements from a LaTeX source into separate pages of a DVI file. Previous versions of preview-latex can be deleted. Here are the release notes: Release notes for version 0.7.7 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex dresses up your LaTeX source by placing judiciously selected chunks (such as single formulas) chopped from unwieldy preview pages right into its Emacs/XEmacs buffer, while keeping the original source readily accessible. You get to have your eye candy and edit it, too. Since only the display of the text is affected, you can safely test-drive on important documents right away. There are no physical withdrawal symptoms to be feared if you chose to quit using it, but you'll find yourself unable to do so. The employed style file preview.sty is independently useful for extraction of selected text elements as images. The package is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, at least GNU Emacs-21.1 under the X window system, AUC TeX (11.14 recommended, see below), a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. This version also supports XEmacs-21, best in version 21.4.9 or later. The various Windows ports of XEmacs should work out of the box. Really. Recent CVS versions of Windows GNU Emacs can reportedly be made to work, too. Release 0.7.7 is 0.7.6 minus a last-minute bug for GNU Emacs, so 0.7.6 info applies: AFPL GhostScript releases 7.x should work. Treatment of multi-directory projects has been corrected, once yo upgrade to AUC TeX 11.14. An added feature can be customized into the new preview-required-option-list variable: checking the counters option will retain correct equation and section numbering even when you are regenerating single previews. Various bugs have been fixed and the installation process does a better job of getting things to work particularly for Windows users. The README file provides adequate information for firing up preinstalled distributions, and pointers how to provide feedback. The INSTALL file contains a special section with advice for package providers. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. If you can spare the time, you can also comment on or rate this project at <URL:http://freshmeat.net/projects/preview-latex>. Additional files can be found at <URL:http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/preview-latex>: * If you don't have texinfo 4.0 or later installed, prebuilt documentation files can be found there. * Tarballs of preview-latex for all users, alternatively RPMs for RedHat Linux. For the binary RPMs, you will need the preview-latex-common RPM as well as the Emacs-flavor specific RPM. * AUC TeX is now located at <URL:http://www.nongnu.org/auctex>. The download area should also provide you with RPMs if you are using RedHat Linux. The RPMs require a few packages that should be readily available in current distributions. RedHat 7.3 contains Emacs-21.2 and GhostScript-6.52 which are about the minimum versions to be recommended. Later releases should work fine. XEmacs in current distributions will still be affected with a serious display bug, see the PROBLEMS file or the respective manual section. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested replacing the old versions in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission - preview-latex-0.7.5.tar.gz
by Reinhard Zierke 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.7.5.tar.gz and preview-0.7.5.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL. I would recommend installing it in the following way: Put the packed archive preview-latex-0.7.5.tar.gz under support/preview-latex/ (...) Unpack preview-0.7.5.tar.gz in the directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ It contains just README-preview, preview.dtx and preview.ins. The reason is that the preview.dtx file can also be used as a standalone LaTeX style for extracting selected elements from a LaTeX source into separate pages of a DVI file. Previous versions of preview-latex can be deleted. Here are the release notes: Release notes for version 0.7.5 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex dresses up your LaTeX source by placing judiciously selected chunks (such as single formulas) chopped from unwieldy preview pages right into its Emacs/XEmacs buffer, while keeping the original source readily accessible. You get to have your eye candy and edit it, too. The employed style file preview.sty is independently useful for extraction of selected text elements as images. The package is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, at least GNU Emacs-21.1 under the X window system, AUC TeX (11.11 recommended, see below), a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. This version also supports XEmacs-21, best in version 21.4.9 or later. The various Windows ports of XEmacs should work out of the box. Recent CVS versions of Windows GNU Emacs could conceivably be made to work, too, but the jury is still out on that one. Release 0.7.5 is a bug fix release for XEmacs. Compatibility macros caused several conflicts with other packages when preview-latex was loaded after them. In addition, the preview icon could appear doubly in the toolbar. GNU Emacs users were not affected by either bug and need not upgrade from 0.7.4. The README file provides adequate information for firing up preinstalled distributions, and pointers how to provide feedback. The INSTALL file contains a special section with advice for package providers. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. If you can spare the time, you can also comment on or rate this project at <URL:http://freshmeat.net/projects/preview-latex>. Additional files can be found at <URL:http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/preview-latex>: * If you don't have texinfo 4.0 or later installed, prebuilt documentation files can be found there. * AUC TeX can be found at several places, but if you want the latest 11.11 (alpha, but stable AFAIK) with no known issues concerning preview-latex, you can find it there as well. * RPMs for preview-latex and AUC TeX are provided for users of RedHat Linux. For the binary RPMs, you will need the preview-latex-common RPM as well as the Emacs-flavor specific RPM. The RPMs require a few packages that should be readily available in current distributions. RedHat 7.3 contains Emacs-21.2 and GhostScript-6.52 which are about the minimum versions to be recommended. Later releases should work fine. XEmacs in current distributions will still be affected with a serious display bug, see the PROBLEMS file or the respective manual section. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested in CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ and CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ replacing the old version Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN upload notification: SplitIndex
by Reinhard Zierke 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

----- Forwarded message from Markus Kohm ----- A submission was uploaded to nova.dante.de:/ftp/incoming/upload-20021125.001/. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: SplitIndex Name and email: Markus Kohm Suggested location on CTAN: tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/splitindex Summary description: Using a unlimited number of indices with almost every LaTeX-class License type: Free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SplitIndex consists of a LaTeX package, splitidx, and a small program, splitindex. The package may be used to produce one index or several indices. Without using the program the number of indices is limited by the number of TeXs output streams. But using the program you may use even more than 16 indices. At this case, splitidx outputs only a single file jobname.idx and the program splits that file into several raw index files and calls your favorite index processor for each of it. The splitindex program is available as perl-program (splitindex.pl), java-program (splitindex.java/class), Windows-CYGWIN binary (splitindex.exe), Linux-i386-ELF binary (splitindex-Linux-i386), OpenBSD-3.0-i386 binary (splitindex-OpenBSD-i386) and even as TeX program (splitindex.tex with some limitations). The source splitindex.c is also part of the distribution. There's an installation documentation (install.txt) and an installation script (install.sh) at the package. The package was testet with the standard LaTeX classes and the KOMA-Script classes. This version is intended to be stable though the version number is less than 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.
