CTAN has a new package: frontespizio

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: frontespizio Author's name: Enrico Gregorio Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/frontespizio Summary description: This package provides an environment to typeset a frontispiece to theses in Italian style License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Typesetting a frontispiece independently of the layout of the main document is difficult. This package provides a solution by producing an auxiliary TeX file to be typeset on its own and the result is automatically included at the next run. The markup necessary for the frontispiece is written in the main document in a frontespizio environment. Documentation is mainly in Italian, as the frontispiece style is probably apt only to theses in Italy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/frontespizio .

CTAN Update: pst-circ
by CTAN Announcements 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Herbert Voss submitted an update to the pst-circ package to CTAN. Pst-circ is a package built using PSTricks and in particular pst-node. It can easily draw current 2-terminal devices and some 3- and 4-terminal devices used in electronic or electric theory. The package’s macros are designed with a view to ‘logical’ representation of circuits, as far as possible, so as to relieve the user of purely graphical considerations when expressing a circuit. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-circ License: LPPL This new version 1.44 comes with a lot of new microwave symbols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org//graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-circ/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pst-circ (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 .
