CTAN package update: greektex
by Jim Hefferon 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org, and should make its way soon to your favorite mirror. Here is the README file for the update: ----------------------------------------------------------- The files of this package make it possible to process with LaTeX2e files written in Greeklish, i.e., a mixture of Greek and English. They are based on Silvio Levy's classical Greek (plain) fonts, and they have evolved from earlier distributions for Latex209, in 1993 by Moschovakis and in 1994 by Moschovakis and Spiliotis. To use them, you need to have an ASCII editor that can handle mixed Greek and English input, such as notepad or (better) winedt, and a full LaTeX2e installation with the capability to automatically compile metafont files when they are called, e.g., Miktex or a linux installation. To install and use these fonts, you need the following files, posted here: ywcl.zip This contains all the metafont files necessary to produce the Greek fonts. greektexdoc.pdf The document (in Greek). greektexdoc.tex The texfile of the document (as a sample). greektex.sty The main package. gehyphw.gr The hyphenation file. You should print greektexdoc.pdf, which has detailed instructions (in Greek) for installing and using this package and also illustrates the look of the fonts. As far as we know, all the programs in this package are in the public domain and they are offered without any obligation or guarantee, with the usual proviso that if you change any files you should also change their names. October 2004 Yiannis Moschovakis, ynm(a)math.ucla.edu Chrysovalantis Sfyrakis, hammer(a)math.uoa.gr --------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/greek/greektex .

CTAN package update: QCM

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: QCM Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/qcm Summary description: QCM (multiple choice questionnaires) version 2.0 is released License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 2.0 of QCM. New in this release: QCM now comes both in class and style form. QCM is a package for making multiple choices questionnaires (QCM is the corresponding French acronym) under LaTeX 2e. A special environment allows you to define questions and possible answers. You can specify which answers are correct and which are not. QCM not only formats the questions for you, but also generates a form (a grid that your students will have to fill in), and a mask (the same grid, only with correct answers properly checked in). You can then print the mask on a slide and correct the questionnaires more easily by superimposing the mask on top of students' forms. QCM also comes with support for AUC-TeX. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/qcm although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
