A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should make its way to your local mirror real soon now.

Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon

======================================================================

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

Name of contribution: METATeX Author's name: Ramon Casares Location on CTAN: macros/plain/contrib/metatex Summary description: METATeX communicates TeX and METAFONT License type: gpl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- METATeX is a set of plain TeX and METAFONT macros that you can use to define both the text and the figures in a single source file. Because METATeX sets up two way communication, from TeX to METAFONT and back from METAFONT to TeX, drawing dimensions can be controlled by TeX and labels can be located by METAFONT. Only standard features of TeX and METAFONT are used, but two runs of TeX and one of METAFONT are needed. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/plain/contrib/metatex/ 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
