Thanks again, Jim Hefferon

Name of contribution: algorithms Author's name: Peter Williams Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/algorithms Summary description: Macros for describing algorithms and a float to encapsulate them License type: lgpl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides two environments, algorithmic and algorithm, which are designed to be used together but may be used separately. The algorithmic environment provides an environment for describing algorithms and the algorithm environment provides a float wrapper for algorithms (implemented using algorithmic or some other method at the author's option). The reason that two environments are provided is to allow the author maximum flexibility. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
