I uploaded pst-rubans2.tgz to the uk mirror. Please put the files into the new directory /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-rubans/
pst-rubans (v.1.20) is a PSTricks related package for drawing three dimensional tapes.
the authors are Manuel Luque and Herbert Voß. The license is as usual LPPL
pst-rubans is an extension of pst-solides3d which allows to draw tapes on a cylinder, torus, sphere, cone and paraboloid. The width of the ribbon, the number of turns, the color of the outer and the inner surface of the tape can be set. In the case of circular and conical helices, one can also choose the number of ribbons.
