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: The cntdwn Package Version number: v0.5 Author's name: D. P. Story Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cntdwn Summary description: Provides support for short and long countdowns, and for clocks in any time zone License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an update to the package published earlier. The original version, v.3, had a simple way of calculating the number of years (based on 365 days to the year) for a long countdown. This was not a problem for counts less than one year, or for counts that spanned several years that did not include leap years. This version, v.5, takes into account the presence of leap years and now gives a correct year, day, hour, minute, and second representation of the time difference between the current time and the target event. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cntdwn . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/cntdwn (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN new package: rvwrite

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: rvwrite Version number: 1.2 Author's name: CV Radhakrishnan Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/rvwrite Summary description: This package helps to fix insufficient number of write registers. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The io registers in TeX are often a matter of severe limitation. When we try to typeset a document that loads a lot of packages, it becomes a non-trivial task to satisfy register requirements of various packages that compete each other. It is further complicated, if refining the typeset copy involves usage of more custom packages which want to write out a few streams for reading during subsequent TeX compilations. LaTeX needs a few registers by default, some of the packages might need a few more streams thereby reducing the available number of registers to less than ten. At times, we have been forced to comment out a few write registers which are seemingly unused for the document in question to make available necessary registers for our custom packages. But, this is not an elegant way, also, it requires developer intervention during the production process. A package namely, rvwrite.sty, is written to solve this nagging problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rvwrite .
