Please announce the change to > CTAN-ANN. there's never been an unsupported tree, but we collapsed the supported/other level of the tree earlier this year ... so the pdfcprot directory doesn't move. however, i have installed your new README.unsupported into the directory, so anyone who looks is unlikely to be misled.

CTAN package update: LaTeXPiX
by Jim Hefferon 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

A package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: LaTeXPiX Author's name: N.J.H.M. van Beurden Location on CTAN: systems/win32/latexpix Summary description: License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The eighth CTAN bugfix release has the following improvements: * On Windows 95/98/ME LaTeXPiX crashed because it could not retrieve a registry value. This retrieval is removed for now until a good solution is found. * All preferences are now stored in the registry instead of in a .set file. * Added PDF preview possibility. * It is now possible to set a fixed executable path for your LaTeX executable, DVI preview and DVI-to-PDF convertor. In the old situation is was assumed that you used latex.exe, yap.exe and dvitopdfm.exe. Also, these files had to be specified in the Windows path statement. When this was not the case the preview process failed. Now you can set fixed paths and specifiy your favorite set of executable to use for the previewing. * Added copy and paste to clipboard commands. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/latexpix 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 -- lettrine
by Reinhard Zierke 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

----- Forwarded message from Daniel Flipo ----- I have just uploaded into ftp.dante.de/incoming a file lettrine.tar.gz, which contains an upgrade (V 1.5) of the lettrine package designed to typeset various sorts of dropped capitals. It should replace the old version in 'macros/latex/contrib/lettrine'. The license is unchanged (LPPL). This release offers a new functionality: % Instead of giving optional parameters to the |lettrine| command, % it is now possible to set them on a per character basis in a % second config file (this was suggested by Pascal Kockaert): % | enewcommand{DefaultOptionsFile}{| extit{filename}|}| % in the preamble (or anywhere in the document) will % force each call to |lettrine| to read the file extit{filename}. % See examples of such config files in the subdirectory % file{contrib}. Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/lettrine Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

by Robin Fairbairns 11 Nov '03

due to a little local difficulty, the machine serving the cambridge ctan site was down for a while this afternoon (11 nov 2003). now that it's back up, the ftp server is not working. i'm struggling with the problem, and will report progress as soon as there is any. (the rsync server appears to be working.) my apologies for the inconvenience Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
