CTAN submission -- labelmag.zip

----- Forwarded message from Peter Willadt <Willadt@...> -----
I have uploaded to ftp.dante.de
the file labelmag.zip

It should go to systems/win32/texhelpers/labelmag.
Please extract README from the zip file and place it there together
with the zip file.

The license type is free, without source code.

labelmag is a win32 program for managing a collection of labels to be
typeset by TeX and printed on demand. The collection will be held
together within a single file; labels may be kept within categories.
As an advanced feature, mailing labels, e.g. may query an odbc data
source. The formatting macros may hopefully be of interest for people
not willing or able to use labelmag, too.
----- End forwarded message -----

Thanks for the submission.  I installed the files as suggested in
CTAN:/tex-archive/systems/win32/texhelpers/labelmag

fixbbl -- fix up bibliographies with inappropriate %-signs in them

i've installed a little python script (biblio/bibtex/utils/fixbbl/fixbbl.py)
by frank stajano (of at&t cambridge and this laboratory).

the script deals with the well-known bibtex bug whereby it inserts a
`%' in an url to cause the bibliography line to fit into its minuscule
vision of what is an acceptable input line for tex.
