was submitted.
Summary description: no more spurious line from par at end of footnote text License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `finstrut.sty' changes LaTeX's @finalstrut (that is automatically inserted at the end of footnote text) so that it does not produce an extra empty line in vertical mode, e.g., with lipsum from lipsum.sty for dummy text.
KEYWORDs: footnotes; tables, dummy text, macro programming
