ecltree updated
by Robin Fairbairns 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

the ecltree macros, which have been dormant for *ages*, have now been updated, by frank mittelbach with the authors permission, for better performance with current latex. (in parallel, i've done minor modernisation of the documentation.) i've installed the new version in macros/latex/contrib/eclbip (the old macros/latex209/contrin/eclbip directory has moved to the the obsolete/ tree). the licence is now lppl.

(It > certainly looks that way in the archive.) Yes, we are. We announced this on the ctan-ann mailing lsit a while ago. Thanks for the upload, I installed the new material in macros/latex/contrib/xdoc and changed the directory macros/latex/exptl/xdoc to a link to the new one.

CTAN submission -- ps2eps 1.45
by Reinhard Zierke 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

----- Forwarded message from Roland Bless ----- - I just uploaded an updated version of the ps2eps tool to ftp.dante.de. It's all in the subdir /incoming/ps2eps. - You can replace the existing version in support/ps2eps - The program is licensed under gpl. Due to a major bugfix, please announce the update -- if admissible -- as follows to CTAN-ANN. ps2eps 1.45 in CTAN:support/ps2eps ================================== ps2eps is a tool to produce Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS/EPSF) from usual one-paged Postscript documents. It calculates correct Bounding Boxes for those EPS files and filters some special postscript command sequences that can produce errorneous results on printers. You need: - perl (an interpreter for the perl language, see http://www.perl.com) - ghostscript (an interpreter/raster image processor for the PostScript language, see http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) - maybe an ANSI-C compiler if you don't use Linux, Solaris, Digital Unix, HP-UX or Windows 9x/NT/2000. - The program is licensed under gpl. Main changes 1.39 -> 1.45 ---------------------------- Please note: Versions <=1.42 may have changed postscript output by filtering too much postscript instructions. This could have been lead to wrongly colored boxes and text. Please consider re-running ps2eps over your files now. Sorry for the inconvenience! - corrected filter for deleting initclip instead of rectangles - option processing is done by GetOpt, i.e. long options are available, too. Syntax for -s has changed therefore. - Wildcards are resolved within the program, thus Windows users will profit from it. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:/support/ps2eps/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
