CTAN has a new package: theoremref

This package is up at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror.

Thanks again,
Jim Hefferon

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: theoremref
Author's name: Emil Jeřábek
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/theoremref
Summary description: references with automatic theorem names
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The theoremref package provides variants of the \label and \ref commands 
for theorem-like environments, capable of automatically typesetting 
references including the theorem name (apart from the theorem number). 
This comes handy if you do not feel like manually checking and fixing 
every \ref command in your file whenever you need to change a Lemma to 
a Proposition or Theorem or vice versa.

The package is dually licensed as LPPL or GPL.

CTAN package update: fancyvrb

Niall Mansfield has developed a patch to the current version of the
fancyvrb package, and submitted it to me (as a conduit to ctan).

The patch addresses a bug in the code related to selecting lines for
verbatim printing: if first selected line == last selected line (i.e.,
only one line was to be printed), the package failed.

The new version has been installed at cambridge ctan, and should be on
its way around the world.

Users may view the package's catalogue entry at:
  http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fancyvrb.html
or browse the package directory tree:
  http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyvrb/

The catalogue entry will be (modestly) updated on the web, overnight.

CTAN package withdrawn: alphplus

The author of alphplus has asked that the package be omitted from CTAN
in favor of other packages with functionality in the same area.  The
deletion should work its way through the mirroring system in the next
day or so.

alphplus 1st release

This package uses only TeX local counters and LaTeX primitives.  It provides 
two macros \alphplus and \Alphplus the syntax of which is the one of \alph. 
They enable us to represent numbers up to 18,278 with lower/upper case 
latin letters from a to zzz or A to ZZZ. After z comes aa and so on.

The upper limit of 18,278 seems not to be too restrictive ;-)

ABOUT

	This small tool is used to seach some LaTeX packages that were listed in CTAN:
		 http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/.

	The tool requires wget, lynx, gawk, wc and sed program to run correctly.
	Some linux distribution doesnot contains lynx by default
	and you must install lynx manually before running ./ctan.

	So this tool requires a *nix-liked environment to work.

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MathType is a point and click mathematical equation editor. It is the
full-featured version of the Equation Editor that comes with Microsoft
Office and other products. While its mouse-centric user interface is
somewhat the antithesis of TeX's, it has a number of features that may
be of interest to members of the TeX community:

- It works with many Windows applications that TeX does not work
directly with, such as word processors, presentation programs like
PowerPoint, and many more. You can even place equations in flowcharts
made with programs like Visio.
