Daly. The +primary distribution site is: + +http://www.mps.mpg.de/software/latex/localtex/localltx.html + +I (Arash Esbati) mentioned balance.sty in comp.text.tex, was invited +to put in on CTAN, asked Patrick W. Daly for permission, wrote this +readme for your convenience and made a CTAN submission. + + +Legal stuff: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The copyright holder of these packages is Patrick W. Daly. They can be +redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public +License Distributed from CTAN archives in directory +macros/latex/base/lppl.txt; either version 1 of the License, or any later +version. + + +Important note: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Unfortunately, the author of these packages doesn't have the time for +further development, bug fixes, "wishes" etc. Hence, they are provided +"as is". If you run into problems, you are on your own. + + +Brief description: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +1. authblk.sty: (version 1.3 from 2001/02/27) + A LaTeX2e package to redefine the \author command to work as normal or + to allow a footnote style of author/affiliation input. + +2. balance.sty: (version 4.3 from 1999/02/23) + When writing a document with LaTeX two-column mode, the columns on the + last page, or those before a \cleardoublepage command, will be of + unequal height. balance.sty solves this problem by modifying the output + routines in two-column mode. + +3. figcaps.sty: (version 4.7 from 1999/02/23) + This package allows the figure captions to be collected throughout the + paper and printed on a separate page at the end. The figures themselves + will not appear in the text. This is for purposes of a manuscript for + submission. Similarly, tables are not printed in the text, but are + outputted at the end, after the figure captions. This package may + optionally be used with the longtable environment defined in the package + of the same name. + +4. fullpage.sty: (version 1.1 from 1999/02/23) + This package sets all 4 margins to be either 1 inch or 1.5 cm, and + specifies the page style. + +5. sublabel.sty (version 4.5 from 1999/02/23) + The macros in this package allow all counters to be subnumbered, as for + example 4a, 4b, 4c, simply by bracketting the objects to be so numbered + with appropriate on/off commands. They will work with any user-defined + counters too. + +6. appendix.sty: (version 2.2 from 2005/10/30) + Adding this package redefines \appendix so that main counters for + figures, tables, equations are subnumbered under the appendix. The + plate counter is also subnumbered. A \noappendix command is included so + that things like bibliographies may be called after the appendix with + \section*. This package is only useful with article documentclass for + obvious reasons. + + N.B.: This package is not available on CTAN due to a name clash. You + have to fetch it from the site mentioned above. + + +Installation: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Just run LaTeX on (package).ins, which generates (package).sty. If you +want the documentation as a dvi, run LaTeX on (package).dtx, otherwise use +the provided format. Move the .sty-files to a directory where LaTeX looks +for the input files. Update your file name database and you're done. +Check your local guide for more Information. + + +Happy TeXing! + Arash Esbati + + +;; Local Variables: +;; mode: text +;; fill-column: 75 +;; End: |
