The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: filecontents Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/filecontents Summary description: Improved version of LaTeX2e's filecontents environment License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it's run through latex. However, there are two limitations of these environments: They refuse to overwrite existing files; and, they can be used only before the documentclass declaration. The filecontents package removes these limitations, making it possible to overwrite existing files and to use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/filecontents although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
