CTAN package upgrade: rotpages
by Jim Hefferon 06 Jan '03

06 Jan '03

A package has been upgraded on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to a mirror near you very shortly. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ====================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: rotpages Author's name: Sergio Callegari Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/rotpages Summary description: Typeset multiple pages upside-down with page order rearrangement License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rotpages.sty R3.0 Copyright 2002 Sergio Callegari The rotpages.sty package for latex 2e permits to format documents where small sets of pages are rotated by 180 degrees and rearranged, so that they can be read by turning the printed copy upside-down. It was primarly meant for collecting exercises and solutions: the package permits to print the exercise text normally and the solutions rotated. This is release 3.0 of the package, with many enhancements over release 1.0. Release 2.0 has never been distributed. Note that release 3.0 is *not* compatible with version 1.0, however documents written for version 1.0 can be easily converted to take advantage of the features of version 3.0. The package may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.2 of this license or (at your option) any later version. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
