BiBLE Package moved on CTAN
by Rainer Schoepf 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

The author of the BiBLE package, Kai Schreiber has clarified the license conditions, so that we can move it from the nonfree part of CTAN into the standard tree. The path is therefore now bibliography/bibtex/utils/bible For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf -------------readme.txt for bible package README.TXT for BiBLE for Windows V0.99 (15.03.2000) ****************************************************************** Before you use this software, read and understand the following: 1. BiBLE was written because I wanted a convenient way to edit my own BibTeX library. I can't and won't guarantee that it works with yours. Try it at your own risk. 2. Don't use the program on your library before you know what you're doing. Create a backup copy of your library. 3. If you find any errors or have suggestions for future versions, tell me. Maybe I'll include them. schreiber(a)genista.de 4. You may redistribute this package only as a whole with all the files unchanged. The distribution contains: bible.exe - the win32 executable bible.hlp - the windows helpfile bible.ini - initialization file test.bib - demonstration database readme.txt - this file versions.txt - the version history 5. BiBLE is free to use. 6. Read the windows helpfile. 7. The .ini-file contains the information about the possible itemtypes and their fields. If you want to add custom items, you can do so. Just add another type-name to the types=... line, and a line saying typename=x,f,f,f,f. The x is the number of required fields following, the fs are the numbers of the field in the fields=... line. If you want to add your own optional or required fields DO SO ONLY AT THE END OF THAT LINE or all the other items will get messed up. The line starting with choice= contains alternative field pairs. Don't change the first pair, as it is the only one where you can have both field values set (type inbook, fields chapter and/or pages). If you need custom fields with and/or behaviour contact me and explain why. 8. Have fun.

New CTAN package: savetrees
by Jim Hefferon 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org. It should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next 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: savetrees Author's name and: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/savetrees Summary description: Pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN submission -- MonTeXIVu, MonTeX.Type1, ui-24.def and ctib
by Reinhard Zierke 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

----- Forwarded message from Oliver Corff ----- Today, you'll find in the /incoming directory of ftp.dante.de the following files: 1. ctib.tar.gz The latest version of ctib, 0.6, has a greatly enhanced repertoire of glyphs and more than a dozen new ligatures (Tibetan stacks), and a lot of new punctuation symbols. More or less the whole Unicode range of symbols is covered, too. The work is based on Sam Sirlin's Tibetan fonts. Please note that upgrading to ctib 0.6 requires recompilation of old documents as the font layout has changed. ctib.tar.gz goes into CTAN:language/tibetan/ctib and replaces all previous files completely. 2. montexivu.tar.gz This latest version of MonTeX features many more Latin input encodings (all those a standard installation offers), an overhauled documentation, and, for the first time, experimental Unicode support for utf8-encoded Mongolian. Please note that upgrading to MonTeX IVu requires the presence of the utf8 input encoding system and there the file uni-24.def, containing the Mongolian plane (U+1800) of Unicode. montexivu.tar.gz goes into CTAN:language/mongolian/montex. 3. montex.type1 A collection of Type1 outline files for the Mongolian scripts of MonTeX. These allow the pleasant display of Mongolian and Manju in PostScript and PDF documents. These fonts were contributed by Apostolos Syropoulos. They should be placed into CTAN:language/mongolian/montex/contrib. A detailed README file with instructions will follow later. 4. uni-24.def The definition for plane U+1800 of Unicode, containing Traditional Mongolian. This file should go into the ../data directory of the ucs/utf8 input encoding package (I happen to ignore where this is located, unfortunately...) ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the uploads. I installed the new versions of ctib and montex in CTAN:/tex-archive/language/tibetan/ctib CTAN:/tex-archive/language/mongolian/montex as suggested. And I installed the Unicode definition file in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/unicode/data/uni-24.def (pending the inclusion of this file in Dominique Unruh's sources) Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN Submission -- geometry 3.0
by Reinhard Zierke 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

----- Forwarded message from Hideo Umeki ----- I am pleased to announce version 3.0 of geometry package. Package: Geometry v3.0 (2002/06/30) Author: Hideo UMEKI (hideo.umeki(a)toshiba.co.jp) Licence: Distributed under the terms of LPPL Abstract: The package provides a flexible and complete user interface to page dimensions. Geometry becomes even more flexible and powerful with the release of version 3.0. This new release contains major changes and enhancements in user interface, calculation schemes and the default settings of the page dimensions. o New default layout. The automatic centering is no longer default layout. Instead centering, the idea of margin ratio and common values for default settings are introduced. o Option 'twosideshift' is obsoleted. o A complete set of options 'ignore*' and 'include*' for head, foot and marginpar. And 'ignoreall' is now set by default. o New options: '{h,v}marginratio', 'ignore*', 'include*', 'lines', 'heightrounded', 'screen', 'asymmetric', 'showframe' and etc. See the manual for the detail. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission. I installed it replacing the old version in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
