----- Forwarded messages from Hendri Adriaens ----- I just uploaded an update of the xkeyval package to ftp.dante.de.

CTAN upload notification: ltabptch.sty, ltabtest.tex
by Reinhard Zierke 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

----- Forwarded message from Uwe Lück ----- Name of contribution: ltabptch.sty, ltabtest.tex Name and email: Uwe Lück Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ltabptch/ Summary description: [update:] diagnosis motivating longtable patches improved; +demonstrating .tex License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Recall: According to tools/3180/3485, there is more space below than above a longtable. ltabptch.sty fixes this. However, the diagnosis it presented before was not quite correct concerning one reason. This is fixed in the present version. Explanations should appear more clear now, and a through-going discussion of possible effects has been added. The patch code was not affected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I removed macros/latex/contrib/misc/ltabptch.sty and installed the new files in macros/latex/contrib/ltabptch/ as suggested. I added a short README file (containing just the first few lines of ltabptch.sty). Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: exercise
by Jim Hefferon 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should by now have made it to your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: exercise Author's name: Paul Pichaureau Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/exercise Summary description: A package to typeset exercises, problems, etc. and their answers. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package helps to typeset exercises or list of exercises within any document. Exercises, questions, sub-questions are automatically numbered. It is possible to put answers in the same document, and display them immediatly, later in the document or not at all. The layout of exercise is fully customisable. It is then possible to typeset long problems, short exercises, questionnaires, etc. Usage of the babel package is detected, but not fully supported by now (only english and french are implemented). See documentation for more information. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/exercise 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

CTAN submission -- hfoldsty virtual font
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded hfoldsty-v1_11.tar to ftp.dante.de. It contains the new version of the hfoldsty virtual font package. Please replace all files in CTAN/fonts/hfoldsty by its contents. Please do not unpack the zip archives. License stays GPL. >From the README: The hfoldsty package provides virtual fonts for using oldstyle (0123456789) figures with the European Computer Modern fonts. It does a similar job as the eco package by Sebastian Kirsch <skirsch(a)t-online.de> but includes a couple of improvements, e.g., better kerning with guillemets, support for character protruding using the pdfcprot package, arbitrary font sizes in conjunction with fix-cm.sty. The new version provides the possiblity to reduce the number of used design sizes and to use arbitrary font sizes as done by the fix-cm package. Some missing fd files have been added, too. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested in CTAN:fonts/hfoldsty/.

CTAN upload notification: pittetd
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

A new package found its way on CTAN: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of contribution: pittetd Name and email: Federico Garcia Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/pittetd Summary description: Class for Electronic Theses and Diss. at Univ. of Pittsburgh License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A class that formats documents for submission as ETD's (Electr. Theses and Diss.) to the University of Pittsburgh. Creates a PDF file with all the required bookmarking (including bookmarks for each table and figure, within the bookmark for the corresponding List, a possibility that hyperref doesn't offer directly), checks for the required `preliminary pages', etc. It could be of use for writers of similar classes at other institutions. More and more universities are adopting some form of ETD every day, so I would expect more and more 'etd' LaTeX classes will come out. This one has some tricks that solve 'generic' needs of the kind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I installed this as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/pittetd and created a PDF documentation from the pittetd.dtx file. Note that there already is another University of Pittsburgh thesis class in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/pitthesis. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: t1infos
by Jim Hefferon 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the upload, Jim Hefferon The author provides this information: ====================================================== Two little programs written in C (using the t1lib) for scanning Type 1 fonts, and doing: a) compute the black area of each glyph, with how much percent of the square containing the glyph is black. b) checking if the extremas (see Adobe Type 1 specifications) of the outline are correct, and tell which one are missing. A postscript dictionary containing three algorithms for automatic kerning (the kerning is computed on the fly instead of being pre-computed by an external software like TeX, groff or lout; very useful for some PostScript hacking); two of them are quite classical ; one is original and is Postscript-optimized. The postscript file contains both a demonstration code and the dictionary itself; thus it can be previewed with gv.

Re: Update to register package
by Rainer Schöpf 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

Matt Lovell submitted an update of his package register. This package is designed for typesetting the programmable elements in digital hardware, i.e., registers. Such registers typically have many fields and can be quite wide; they are thus a challenge to typeset in a consistent manner. Register is similar in some aspects to the bitfield package by Reuben Thomas. Anyone doing hardware documentation using LaTeX should examine both packages. Register requires a fairly recent version of the float package. This update provides a new boolean which can be used to test against being within the context of a register diagram. The accompanying Perl script and module have also been modified to allow extraction of LaTeX dependencies for Makefiles. Thanks for the upload, I installed it in macros/latex/contrib/register For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
