i don't remember what i was doing, but it was obviously terribly interesting work, because i didn't notice the daemon saying: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: linegoal (v2.9) > Author's name: Florent CHERVET > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/linegoal > Summary description: A ``dimen'' that corresponds to the remainder of the line > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > .
