New CTAN package --- AroundTheBend

I have uploaded AroBend.tar.gz to UK incoming. The contents should

go into the /info directory, possibly /info/aro-bend.

From the README:

For several years in the early nineties the late Michael Downes

presented a series of TeX macro programming challenges he called Around the Bend. These are archived on CTAN in /info/aro-bend as 18 pairs of ASCII files called exercise.* and answer.*.

I have been presumptuous and taken the liberty of putting them all

into a single document, AroundTheBend.pdf, which might be more accessible than the individual postings that form the original archive. I have also included three challenges, namely nos. 19, 20 and 21 that have not made it into the archive.

If Michael were still with us I imagine that he would have put no

particular restrictions on his work. With this in mind, AroundTheBend.tex and AroundTheBend.pdf are under the LPPL.

i have installed your rather nice looking bundle in the CTAN directory info/challenges/AroBend (and in parallel moved Mike's original stuff to info/challenges/aro-bend, though the old directory name for aro-bend remains available for the time being).

i've also catalogued the new package. thanks for the upload.

users may view the (meagre) catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/around-the-bend.html or browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/challenges/AroBend/
