CTAN Submission -- ieeepes

Thanks, I did it in /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/ieeepes/
However, I removed the old file volker.eps as it's the same as the new file
vk.eps.  And I didn't install the file vmargin.sty but a symbolic link to
the existing file /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/other/misc/vmargin.sty
No need to have to keep several versions in sync...

since christophe wrote the above, this latest version has been
modified to record that it's released under the lppl.

ANN: The `final' location of the UK TUG FAQ

Not long after the UK TUG FAQ was first published on paper, in the UK
TUG Journal Baskerville (vol 4 no 6, December 1994), the group
established a `temporary' Web address for interactive access to the
FAQ.  The group is very grateful to the School of Cognitive and Computing
Sciences of the University of Sussex at Brighton, for hosting this
`temporary' service for around four years!

Now, at last, the group is pleased to announce that a `final' home for
the FAQ has been established, in association with the CTAN node at the
University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory:

  http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes

The sources, and readily-printable copies, of the FAQ remain on CTAN
in directory usergrps/uktug/faq

At present the interactive FAQ offers exactly the same facilities as it
always has, but there are plans to develop new facilities to further
enhance the FAQ's utility.

The FAQ is under constant development, and in particular a new printed
version is in preparation.  The UK TeX Users' Group would very much
welcome contributions at this time.

Comments, suggestions and error reports concerning the FAQ should be
addressed to the current maintainer, via uktug-faq@...

CTAN submission - Type One Install utiLity (TOIL)

> From: Stanis/law Wawrykiewicz <staw@...>
>
> I've just uploaded to DANTE:/incoming/toil105.zip
> Unpacked should replace the contents of
>  fonts/utilities/t1install/toil/

Thanks for uploading the new version; I installed it on CTAN as suggested.

A short quote from the README files:

This file belongs to the TOIL package | Ten plik nale/zy do pakietu TOIL
This package is public domain         | Pakiet stanowi dobro powszechne
For more info see `0TOILENG.LIC'      | Wi/ecej informacji w ,,0TOILPOL.LIC''
============================================================================

The package TOIL was created in order to facilitate the tedious task of
installing Type 1 Adobe fonts for T. Rokicki's DVIPS driver. The main engine
of the package is the MS DOS script, A2T.BAT, which invokes (GNU) AWK and
METAFONT (see section ``REMARKS CONCERNING CONFIGURATION'' below),
and, as a result, creates and places appropriately files needed for
the proper functioning of a DVIPS driver.
