by Jim Hefferon 16 Sep '03

16 Sep '03

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way around cyberspace to your space, via your local mirror, real soon now. Thanks for the material, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org =================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: Finomaton Author's name: Markus Triska Location on CTAN: graphics/finomaton Summary description: Comfortably Draw and Typeset Finite State Machines (Automata) License type: gpl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Finomaton allows users comfortably draw and typeset finite state machines (automata). The resulting graphs can be exported to plain MetaPost and subsequently be included in TeX and LaTeX documents for excellent typesetting quality. Contrary to many other packages, the mouse can be used to interactively move objects around. States are magnetic to facilitate connection, and any TeX command can be embedded in the labels of states and lines. Detailed instruction of how to embed the pictures in your document and many examples are included in the documentation. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN has a new package: TeX for the Impatient
by Jim Hefferon 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

The new package described below has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in a day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: TeX for the Impatient Author's name: Karl Berry Location on CTAN: info/impatient/ Summary description: GFDL'd distribution of TeX for the Impatient. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The book TeX for the Impatient was originally published in 1990 by Addison-Wesley. It contains both tutorial and reference information on primitive and plain TeX; it does not discuss LaTeX. Now, it's been declared out of print and A-W has reverted all rights to us, the authors. We've decided to make the book available in source form, under the GNU Free Documentation License, as our way of supporting the community which supported the book in the first place. Information about the free edition is included in the preface, the copyright page, and the README. We'd be interested in hearing about any projects undertaken with this material. We don't plan to make any further changes or additions to the book ourselves, except for correction of any outright errors reported to us, and perhaps inclusion of the illustrations. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
