At the author's request, the package
pzccal
has been moved to the obsolete area.
Summary description: Zapf Chancery calligraphic math alphabet (obsoleted)
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The urwchancal package (developed independently and published less
than a month after pzcal.sty) provides not only a style file but also
virtual fonts solving problems with accents and spacing. Like
`pzcal`, it provides both lowercase and capital Latin math script
letters. It is highly recommended to use ``urwchancal.sty`` instead of
``pzcal.sty``.

On Wed, 23 Mar 2011, Martin Scharrer submitted the
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}}}
