CTAN submission -- updating package "emulateapj"

> From: Maxim Markevitch <maxim@...>
>
> Hi, I have uploaded the file emulateapj.tar.gz at ftp.dante.de. This is an

Thanks for the update;  I installed it on ftp.dante.de as suggested.

Thanks for the new version. I installed the it on dante.ctan.org in
tex-archive/language/mongolian/montex replacing the old version.
And I created a symbolic link
from    tex-archive/language/hyphenation/mnhyphen.tex
to      tex-archive/language/mongolian/montex/texinput/mnhyphen.tex

I gather you mean bogino.zip in DANTE's incoming directory.  Can you please
be a bit more explicit in your next mail?  Anyway, I now replaced the old
version in tex-archive/info/lshort/mongolian with it.

Thanks for the submission.  As there are a lot of german documents under
/tex-archive/info/, I created a subdirectory /tex-archive/info/german/
and installed the new files in /tex-archive/info/german/tabsatz/.

Additionally, I moved the files and directories Neue-Fonts-fuer-LaTeX.tex,
dvips-german/, gleitobjekte/, neufont.tex, ogfuda/, stammtisch/ and tex-kurs/
from /tex-archive/info/ to /tex-archive/info/german/
