----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded contour-v1_04.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please replace the files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/contour by its contents. License stays LPPL.

From the README:

This package generates a colored contour around a given text in order to enable printing text over a background without the need of a color box around the text.

Change log: 1.04 2003/11/09 - Avoide usage of cs{textversion} etc. - Avoid line break of inner text ----- End forwarded message -----

Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/contour
