cam.ctan.org, {ftp,rsync,www}.tex.ac.uk down sun 1 aug
by Robin Fairbairns 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

the central cambridge university switches, etc., will all be down from about 08:00 to 17:00 next sunday 2004-08-01. the university will keep needing more central facilities and the entire backup power supply is to be replaced. as a result, all the cambridge ctan services will be inaccessible for that period. (we don't take power from the centre, so at least our machines ought to survive the down-time.) my apologies for the inconvenience; among other things, it will allow even more under-used bandwidth to the cambridge ctan.

CTAN: ttb changes
by Jim Hefferon 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

The package that I installed yesterday as info/biblio/ttb has been put in info/bibtex/tamethebeast . You can look at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/bibtex/tamethebeast Note in particular that the .pdf now works. (Who knew that saving a .pdf from acrobat by printing to a file would cause it to come out as PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0?) Thank you to the folks who noticed the error, Jim Hefferon

CTAN has a new package: functan
by Jim Hefferon 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your mirror of choice. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: functan Author's name: Antoine Lejay Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/functan Summary description: macros for functional analysis and PDE theory License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of this package is to provide a convenient and coherent way to deal with name of functional spaces (mainly Sobolev spaces) in functional analysis and PDE theory. It also provides a set of macros for dealing with norms, scalar products and convergence with some object oriented flavor (it gives the possibility to override the standard behavior of norms, ...). - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/functan 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
