belleek fonts on ctan
by Robin Fairbairns 30 Oct '01

30 Oct '01

I have installed Richard Kinch's belleek font set on CTAN at fonts/belleek (retrieve belleek.zip). from the README: These are the Belleek fonts described in my paper at TUG 98, the 1998 annual meeting of the TeX Users Group. They are drop-in replacements for the proprietary fonts required by the LaTeX mathtime style, where the dropping in process is simply to change the .fd files calling for specific fonts to reflect the font names starting with bl. Notwithstanding any copyright notices in the files, these fonts have been contributed to the public domain in their Type 1 (.pfb) and TrueType (.ttf) forms: blex blsy rblmi these fonts have been available via http://truetex.com for a long time; they have recently been the subject of some discussion in comp.text.tex and elsewhere, and i (and Richard) felt it appropriate to make them more readily accessible to the world.

CTAN submission -- preview-latex version 0.5.8
by Reinhard Zierke 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded a new release of the preview-latex package, as a file preview-latex-0.5.8.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It should be installed as previously, as one archive file in CTAN:support/preview-latex, and the README file should be unpacked into that directory. License is GPL. Release focus are user interface additions and skeletons for XEmacs support (not yet working, volunteers welcome). Here is an excerpt from the README: Purpose of the package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display math or figures into the source buffers. By mouse-clicking, you can open the original text. After editing, another click will just run the region in question through LaTeX and redisplay the new results. Thr project is just starting. Current state of affairs: you need to get access to a version of Emacs 21. The public release 21.1 should be ok for starters. Pretest versions before that have problems. You also need AucTeX installed and working, and probably a fairly recent version of GhostScript. At the current point of time, XEmacs is not supported. Work is underway to change that in future versions, contributions would be welcome. Offers to support further development will be appreciated. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version in the directory CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex as suggested and removed the old version. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- BibTool 2.45
by Reinhard Zierke 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from Gerd Neugebauer ----- Hi, I have uploaded Bibtool-2.45.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It replaces tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/BibTool-2.44.tar.gz and is distributed unnder the GPL. The following text is an excerpt from the Changes and the ReadMe files: - Version 2.45 Resource suppress.initial.newline introduced to suppress the empty line at the beginning of the output file Bugfix: Some C comilers don't like the initialization of static variables with stderr. The code has been moved to a initialization routine. Bugfix: -R disables the reading of the resource at the end of processing of commandline arguments. Bugfix: Parsing of select arguments with backslashes were not treated correctly. Minor documentation bugs fixed. ====================================================================== ###### ############ ####### ############ ## ## ## ## ## ## ##### ## #### #### ## ####### ## ###### ## ###### ###### ## ####### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ###### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ####### ## ###### ## ###### ###### ####### ###### ## ##### ## #### #### ####### ====================================================================== BibTool: A Tool for Manipulating BibTeX Data Bases BibTeX provides an easy to use means to integrate citations and bibliographies into LaTeX documents. But the user is left alone with the management of the BibTeX files. The program BibTool is intended to fill this gap. BibTool allows the manipulation of BibTeX files which goes beyond the possibilities --- and intentions --- of BibTeX. The possibilities of BibTool include * Pretty-printing BibTeX data bases adjustable by lots of parameters. * Syntactic checks with error recovery superior to BibTeX and helpful error messages. * Semantic checks can be specified by the user. * Sorting and merging of BibTeX data bases according to a free definable sort key. * Generation of uniform reference keys according to predefined rules or according to an own specification. * Selecting references used in one publication which are found by analyzing an .aux file. * Selecting references by a set of criteria (regular expressions). * Controlled rewriting of fields utilizing regular expressions to specify the rewriting rules. * Macro (String) expansion to eliminate the need of extra string definitions. * Collecting statistics about one or more BibTeX data bases. BibTool contains a documentation written in LaTeX of more than 60 pages (and still growing). BibTool is written in C and has been compiled on various operating systems like flavors of UN*X and MSDOG machines. It is distributed in source code. No compiled versions are available from the author (Useless to ask!). BibTool can be obtained from the CTAN archives: * ftp.dante.de:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool * ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool * ctan.tug.org:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool Get the file BibTool-x.xx.tar.gz where x.xx is the version number. Unpack it with the command (on UN*X) gunzip < BibTool-x.xx.tar.gz | tar -xvf - Alternatively get the file BibTool-x.xx.zip where x.xx is the version number. Unpack it with the command unzip BibTool-x.xx.zip It will create a directory named BibTool-x.xx which contains the installation instructions in the file INSTALL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it in CTAN:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/BibTool-2.45.tar.gz and removed the old version BibTool-2.44.tar.gz Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
