• what you've uploaded: a file called brushscr.tar.gz

• where you want the files to go: the uploaded files should replace the files currently in the directory tex-archive/fonts/brushscr
• what licensing conditions you apply to your software: public domain
• a brief summary of what your upload is intended to do: here follows the uploaded file brushscr/README:

---

This directory contains: a Type-1 font named BrushScript-Italic, that simulates hand-written characters; all the files needed by LaTeX in order to use that font; a file AAA_readme.tex that fully describes the package; a sample file sample.tex .

The font itself and all the files are Public Domain.

History:

• The original (public domain) NeXT screen font has been edited, with a Type-1 font editor named TypeSmith, on an Amiga computer. The service files have been generated using the fontinst package by Alan Jeffrey.
• Later, having TypeSmith generated a buggy font, a more strict dvips refuses to handle BrushScript. Louis Vosloo of Y&Y, with enormous courtesy, has fixed the font in his spare time (I no longer have an Amiga computer, or a font editor of any kind).
• Rolf Niepraschk submits a file pbsi.sty .
• A more strict dvips (5.86e) still refuses to handle the font. Rolf Niepraschk submits a fix, generated by the type1fix perl script part of the TeXtrace package (http://www.inf.bme.hu/~pts/textrace/) by Peter Szabo

i've installed the files as requested: thanks for the upload.
