I have uploaded memoir161803.tar.gz to UK incoming. Please use the

appropriate contents to replace the current macros/latex/contrib/memoir. I have also included a tds.tar.gz which hopefully presents everything laid out as a tds tree, but please ckeck this. The distribution is under the LPPL.

From the README:

Memoir is a flexible class for typesetting poetry, fiction, non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or manuscripts. Documents can use 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt or 17pt as the normal fontsize and, if you have scalable fonts, 20pt, 25pt, 30pt, 36pt, 48pt or 60pt sizes, or any other size. Many methods are provided to let you create your particular design. The class incorporates over 30 of the more popular packages.

Changes (2008/05/27) ** Memoir class v1.61803 released incorporating all patches since the last major release in 2005/09/25 and also all comments about v1.61803beta. Major additions are extended, or arbitrary, document font sizes and provision of several styles of section headings. ** User Manual (memman) edition 7 released matching v1.61803, incorporating the contents of the Addendum. The part on typography has been extended and a glossary of memoir's commands and environments has been added. ** There is no Addendum to the Manual. ** New (empty) version of mempatch.sty

This will be the last release for a considerable period of

time. After 25 years in the USA we are moving back to the UK where there are grandchildren. The process will probably involve about 6 months in LaTeX limbo. (My definition of `considerable period' may imply decades.)

If you have questions please ask them on the comp.text.tex

newsgroup where you are likely to get more, better, and faster answers than contacting me directly.

i have installed the update, and updated the catalogue. thanks for the upload.
