+ All the files in this directory, and the LaTeX packages
+ that can be extracted from the source files in ths directory
+ may be redistributed and/or modified under the terms

+David Carlisle david "at" dcarlisle "dot" demon "dot" co "dot" uk
+
+I shall add new files here from time to time, currently the directory
+contains the following.
+
+nopageno.sty
+ Turn off all page numbers in standard LaTeX classes, without
+ having to worry about \maketitle and friends putting them back.
+
+ltxtable.tex
+ This generates and documents the package ltxtable.sty. A merger of
+ longtable and tabularx packages from the Standard LaTeX tools
+ collection. This produces multipage tables in which the column
+ widths are automatically calculated to achieve a specified total
+ table width.
+
+blkarray.sty
+ Despite being in this `supported' directory this package is less
+ supported than the others. I wrote it a long time ago. It is still
+ documented using the conventions of LaTeX2.09 (although it appears
+ to work with current LaTeX releases). I do not think I am going to
+ be able to work on this in the foreseeable future, so have decided to
+ let it out in its current state. It is not really a package for
+ using in documents in its present state, but if you are interested
+ in coding tables of various sorts in TeX, you may be interested to
+ experiment with it...
+
+
+mylatex.ltx
+ This file provides a method of making a special format tailored to
+ one document, with all the class and packages, and other preamble
+ material pre-loaded. This can save quite a lot of time on some
+ systems. See the comments in the file.
+
+
+typehtml.dtx
+typehtml.ins
+ Typeset HTML (ie World Wide web documents) directly from LaTeX.
+ Process the file html.ins to produce the html.sty package file.
+ Process the file html.dtx to produce examples, documentation and
+ code listings. Currently this package can handle almost all of
+ HTML2, and most of the math fragment of the draft HTML3.
+ More or less superceeded by typexml, distributed from ctan
+ in a separate directory.
+
+
+plain.sty
+ Typeset plain TeX markup in LaTeX documents.
+ Within \begin{plain} ... \end{plain} most plain TeX constructs work
+ including commands such as \over which might have been disabled by
+ other LaTeX packages such as amsmath.
+
+comma.sty
+ Adds a new possibility for printing counter values in addition
+ to \arabic, \roman, etc.
+ \commaform inserts a comma every three digits, as in 12,345.
+ It may be easily customised to insert any other TeX command
+ (such as a thin space `\,') instead of a comma.
+
+colortbl.dtx
+colortbl.ins
+ Add colour to LaTeX tables. Requires array and color packages.
+ Process colortbl.ins to produce the package file colortbl.sty.
+ Process colortbl.dtx to get the documentation (this requires
+ longtable hhline and dcolumn from the standard `tools'
+ distribution.)
+
+dotlessj.sty
+ If you are using a font set without a dotless j (\j and \jmath) then
+ this package will fake one. It requires the LaTeX color package.
+ It does not require any explicit PostScript support.
+
+textcase.dtx
+textcase.ins
+ \MakeTextUppercase and \MakeTextLowercase are similar to the standard
+ \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase, but they do not change the case of
+ any sections of mathematics within the argument.
+ Improvements from Donald Arseneau mean that \label, \ref and \cite
+ also work within the argument of these commands, without the symbolic
+ `key name' being incorrectly uppercased.
+
+remreset.sty
+ \@removefromreset: a companion to the standard \@addtoreset command
+ allows counters to be removed from the reset list of a controlling
+ counter. For example, a class file based on book class may say
+ \@removefromreset{footnote}{chapter}
+ so that footnotes are no longer reset every chapter (the book class
+ default).
+
+scalefnt.sty
+ \scalefont{2} selects the current font in twice the current size.
+ \scalefont{.75} reduces the current font size by three quarters.
+
+fix2col.dtx
+fix2col.ins
+ Superceeded by fixltx2e, part of the base LaTeX distribution.
+ Two column fixes.
+ a) Fix mark handling so \firstmark is taken from the first column
+ if that column has marks at all.
+ (A copy of Piet van Oostrum's fixmarks package, more or less.)
+ b) Keep two column floats like figure* in sequence with single
+ column floats like figure.
+ (Modelled on Ed Sznyter's 2.09 package, fixfloats.)
+
+
+
+slashed.sty
+ Commands for the `Feynman slashed character' notation.
+
+pspicture.ins
+pspicture.dtx
+ Reimplement picture mode to use dvips specials, thus removing
+ restrictions on available slopes etc.
+ Previously distributed in other/misc.
+ Should be re-implemented to accept graphics package style driver
+ options.
+
+
+
+tabulary.dtx
+tabulary.ins
+ The tabulary environment is similar to tabularx (tools) and tabular*
+ (LaTeX kernel) but uses a different column width allocation
+ algorithm.
