CTAN tug.ctan.org upload: purifyeps

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: purifyeps Version number: 1.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/purifyeps Summary description: Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. purifyeps converts EPS files into a purified form that can be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs. Version 1.1 includes two helpful changes. First, in response to a discussion on the tex-live mailing list, the program now issues a more user-friendly error message if pstoedit (a support tool required by purifyeps) is not found on the search path. Second, purifyeps incorporates a patch provided by Markus Kohm to search for pstoedit's mpost.fmp file in a standard set of directories. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/purifyeps .

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: fntproof Version number: 1.0 Author's name: Daniel Luecking Location on CTAN: /macros/generic/fntproof/ Summary description: Non-prompting version of Knuth's testfont.tex. License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Package fntproof implements all the font testing commands of Knuth's testfont.tex, but arranges that information necessary for each command is supplied as arguments to that command, rather than prompted for. This makes it possible to type all the tests in one command line, and easy to input fntproof in a file and use the commands there. A few additional commands supporting this last purpose are also made available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/fntproof/ .

Update summary: W.r.t. v0.2, `inputtrc' RELEASE v0.2b (2010/11/28) updates * LPPL version in README and inputtrc.sty * makedoc.cfg * inputtrc.pdf with * new makedoc.cfg formatting * using `readprov.sty' for referring to `inputtrc.sty' * mention of the `filehook' package and adds * README.pdf (+ README.tex) * FileList.txt + gather.tex UL 2010/11/28 Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/inputtrc Caption: Trace which file loads which. Description: The package produces screen/log messages of the form ‘<current> INPUTTING <next>’ reporting LaTeX input commands (<current> and <next> being file names). The message is indented to reflect the level of input nesting. Tracing may be turned on and off, and the unit of indentation may be adjusted. The implementation somewhat resembles those of packages filehook, FiNK and inputfile.

CTAN new package: fileinfo
by CTAN Announcements 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

This should be at your local mirror. Thank you again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/fileinfo Caption: get file infos without loading; listfiles -- mine only Description: 'readprov.sty' renders GetFileInfo from LaTeX's 'doc.sty' (without the latter being reqired), as well as new robust (expandable) variants of it, usable with files that are not really loaded (they are quit when their file info is found). So, e.g., you can describe packages that are incompatible with each other or with packages that your document uses. You even can report about various class files. Such files also enter listfiles. [related package: zwgetfdate] 'myfilist.sty' uses this so listfiles need not show files that were used, rather just files you want to know about. In a TeX script, you can choose some files and their order. Their names can be output into a plain text file with their dates, version ids, and one-line descriptions, formatted in the way listfiles does it after a LaTeX run. This way you can get an overview of, e.g., some package bundle ...
