Changes (``diff mpdinbrief.dtx dinbrief.dtx''):
- external horizontal ``pressure'' onto backaddress reduced from ``hfill'' to ``hfil''
% makes it possible to use ``\hfill'' between the fields of backaddress to
% widen it to the maximum possible extent
- answertonew line changed:
+ date/place go to the right border
+ every horizontal item takes just the space it needs
and white space is shared equally
% may be this is not conforming to DIN 676, but the given placement of items
% was not satisfying: why should an empty field eat up so much space ?
- fontseries for the concern (Betreff) line: ``bx''
% isn't it a kind of heading for the whole thing ?
- defaultfont for \signature: \footnotesize
% because I think it's overweighted with \normalsize
% you only want to be able to decypher some cryptic signature
- cc, ps, encl:
+ fontseries ``bx''
+ strings (PS, Anlage(n), Verteiler) now ending with ``:''
+ vspace(.3ex) after these strings
% because these strings bear structuring significance in a document
- ps, cc, encl following the closing pushed down to the bottom of the page
% I consider them being a kind of final contents of a complete letter package;
% putting them to close to the closing binds them to tightly to the central text.
- new example
- certainly some new bugs brought in % don't call them features !
May be, it would have been a good idea to merge all these changes into dinbrief
by introducing switches to make them optional:
- This would blow up the code size of dinbrief.
- It's a matter of taste:
+ Your taste % if you like it [or not], have an influence onto the maintainers
+ the taste of the maintainers of dinbrief
.
Should there be more than some spread out fools, who like and use my modifications,
then it'll be certainly a good idea to merge them into the original distribution.
But we'll only know, if somebody tells us: so send us a mail with your opinion!

Installing:
gzip -dc mpdinbrf.tgz | (cd <target_directory>; tar -xvf - )
cd <target_directory>
# read the original readme file ``readme''
tex mpdinbrief.ins # extracts the archive mpdinbrief.dtx
latex mpexample # produces the example letter mpexample.dvi
Known Bugs:
- \enclright does not work correctly with latex2e (as of 97-01)
(even with the original dinbrief 1.66)
(made it impossible to test my modifications with this option)
- dbold does not compile correctly with latex2e (as of 97-01)
(even with the original dinbrief 1.66)
(same symptoms as above)
