the daemon chooses to say, as i slip into bed:

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: lmacs Author's name: D. P. Story Package version: 1.1 Location on CTAN: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ Summary description: A simple package for including support files License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

This is a simple package designed to clean up command definitions made in the preamble. You can cut the commands in your preamble and paste them into a file named myDefs.def, for example. Then insert the following line to replace what you just removed:

usepackage[def=myDefs,!js=myJS]{lmacs}

The package supports auxiliary files with extensions of .def, .js, and .cfg. More can easily be added, if needed. Use of an exclamation mark as shown above cancels the inclusion of that file.

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new package, and made an entry for it in the catalogue repository.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/help/Catalogue/entries/lmacs.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/lmacs/

The catalogue entry will have appeared on the web by tomorrow morning (Cambridge time).
