-\section{New supported font encodings}
-
-Two new font encodings are supported as options to the \textsf{fontenc}
-package:
-\begin{description}
-\item [OT4]
-This is a seven-bit encoding designed for Polish. The \LaTeX\ support
-was developed by Mariusz Olko.
-\item [TS1] This is the `Text Companion Encoding'; it contains symbols
-designed to be used in text, as opposed to mathematical formulas, and
-some accents designed for uppercase letters. It is currently
-supported by the `tc' fonts, which match the T1 encoded `ec' text
-fonts. A subset of the glyphs in this encoding is supported by
-virtual fonts distributed with the PostScript font metrics on the
-\textsc{ctan} archives. (This is the `8c' encoding in Karl Berry's
-fontname scheme.) The \textsf{textcomp} package provides access to
-this encoding but here is a warning to current users of that package:
-some of the internal names for the characters have changed.
-\end{description}
-
-
-\section{New input encodings}
-
-These additions to the \textsf{inputenc} package are
-\texttt{decmulti} (the DEC Multinational
-Character Set, contributed by M.~Y.~Chartoire)
-and \texttt{cp1250} (an MS-Windows encoding for Central and Eastern
-Europe, contributed by Marcin Woli\'nski). There is also a
-\texttt{cp1252} encoding that is identical to \texttt{ansinew}.
-
-
-\section{Tools}
-
-The \textsf{calc} package (used in many examples in \emph{The \LaTeX\
-Companion}) has been contributed to this distribution by Kresten Krab
-Thorup and Frank Jensen. This is essentially the same as the version
-that has been available from the \textsc{ctan} archives for some time,
-with one minor change: to use \LaTeX-style error messages. It enables
-the use of arithmetic expressions within arguments to standard
-\LaTeX{} commands where a length or a counter value is required. For
-example:
-\begin{verbatim}
- \setcounter {page} { \value{page} * 2 + 1 }
- \parbox { 3in - ( 2mm + \textwidth / 9 ) }
-\end{verbatim}
-
-There have also been some improvements to several other packages in
-this collection. In particular, \textsf{bm} now works correctly with
-constructions such as \verb|\bm{f'}| involving \texttt{'} or other
-characters which use \TeX's special ``\verb|\mathcode"8000|''
-feature. Also, \textsf{multicol} sets the length \verb|\columnwidth|
-to an appropriate value; this enables it to work with classes that
-support two-column setting, e.g.,~the AMS classes.
-
-
-\section{Graphics}
-
-The special \verb|oztex.def| driver file has been removed, and Oz\TeX\
-support has been merged with dvips, following advice from
-Andrew Trevorrow about Oz\TeX~3.x.
-
-The \textsf{keyval} package has had some internal improvements: to
-use \LaTeX\ format error messages; and to avoid `\verb|#| doubling'.
-This latter change means that the \verb|command| key for the
-\textsf{graphicx} version of \verb|\includegraphics| should now be used
-with one \verb|#| rather than two. For example, \verb|command = `gunzip #1|.
-Fortunately this key is almost never used in practice, so few if any
-documents should be affected by this change.
-
-
-\section{\LaTeX3 experimental programming conventions}
-
-As announced at the \TeX\ Users Group meeting (Summer 1997), a group of
-highly experimental packages will soon be released to allow experienced\\
-\TeX\ programmers to experiment with, and comment on, a proposed set
-of syntax conventions and basic data-types that might form
-the basis for programming large scale projects in \TeX.
-They will be located in\\
-this CTAN directory:
-\begin{verbatim}
- CTAN:macros/latex/packages/expl3
-\end{verbatim}
-The documentation of this material is as follows: individual package
-files provide outline, draft documentation; there is an article that
-gives an overview of the syntax and related concepts; there is a
-\texttt{readme.txt} file containing a brief description of the
-collection.
-
-All aspects of these packages are liable, indeed likely, to change.
-They should not be used at this stage for anything
-that requires a stable system. However, we do encourage people to
-experiment with these packages, and to send comments on them to the
-\texttt{LaTeX-L} mailing list.
-To subscribe to this list, mail to:
-\begin{verbatim}
- listserv@urz.uni-heidelberg.de
-\end{verbatim}
-the following one line message:
-\begin{verbatim}
- subscribe LATEX-L <<first-name>> <<second-name>>
-\end{verbatim}
-
-% Revert to this if gets too full.
-% See \texttt{modguide.tex} for
-% information on how to subscribe to \texttt{LaTeX-L}.
