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

this to replace the current contents of macros/latex/contrib/supported/memoir.

The distribution is under the LPPL.

From the README:

Memoir is a configurable class for typesetting general fiction,

non-fiction and mathematical books. It encompasses the standard book and report classes and can simulate the article class as well as a double spaced typewritten manuscript. There is a comprehensive user manual.

The class provides a variety of predefined page, chapter and caption

styles plus easy means of creating new ones. There is a reasonably intuitive way of specifying page margins, etc., with an option for printing trimming marks. Documents can use 9, 10, 11, 12, or 14pt as the normal font size.

Changes in version 1.0 (2001/11/17) o First production release (after 5 beta releases) o Support for tipped in illustrations o Fine control over chapter pages o Support for continuous page numbering even if switching between numbering systems (e.g., roman to arabic) o Minor change to *.clo files o Extended Part I of the manual, and more examples in Part II

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