CTAN submission -- onlyamsmath package

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders -----
I have uploaded the file onlyamsmath.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. 
Please install its contents to
CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/supported/onlyamsmath.
Licence is lppl.

>From the README:
This package inhibits the usage of plain TeX and on demand of
standard LaTeX math environments.
This is useful for class writers who want to force their clients to
use the environments provided by the amsmath package.
----- End forwarded message -----

Thanks for the submission.  I installed this new package as suggested in
CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/onlyamsmath

CTAN submission -- preview-latex

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup -----
I have uploaded preview-latex-0.5.tar.gz, a package for previewing
inline images of equation environments and similar.  It needs recent
pretest versions of GNU Emacs to work at the current point of time (at
least 21.0.105) as well as AucTeX.  I have uploaded to ftp.dante.de.
I would recommend loading it into a separate directory
support/preview-latex and extracting the file README from the archive
and placing this file as well as the tar archive into that directory.

The license is GPL.

I append an excerpt from the README:

I do not know where to start.  This is the preview-latex project at
Sourceforge, <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>.
There is a mailing list for developers, the web page is
<URL:http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/preview-latex-devel>
Send a message with just the word `help' as subject or body to
    preview-latex-devel-request@...
for more information.

Anonymous CVS is available as well.  See the Sourceforge web pages for
more information.

Purpose of the package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display
math or figures into the source buffers.  By mouse-clicking, you can
open the original text.  After editing, another click will just run
the region in question through LaTeX and redisplay the new results.

Thr project is just starting.  Current state of affairs: you need to

CTAN update of biblio/bibtex/utils/bibweb

I have updated CTAN:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibweb to the
current version on the author's website (dated Nov 10, 2000).
>From the README file:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
bibweb is a utility for automatically retrieving bibliographical
information from the American Mathematical Society's MathSciNet
program.  John Palmieri ("engineer") wrote bibweb, and Bill Dwyer
("idea man") helped to design it.

If you're too lazy to go to the library or use a web browser to find
out bibliographical information for that ground-breaking paper you're
writing, you can let bibweb do the work for you.  You have to use
bibtex (which means you have to use latex, I think), and you have to
write citations in a particular format, but that's about it.

CTAN submission -- EC/TC Type1 font collection

----- Forwarded message from Szabo Peter -----
I've just uploaded tt2001, an EC/TC Type1 font collection to CTAN. I've
attached its README to my e-mail. Please find an appropriate location
for the fonts, and move them there.

Thank you,
Szabó Péter

README.txt, Mon Oct  1 13:30:27 CEST 2001

This is version 1.0 of Tt2001.

This is Tt2001, a TeX .pfb font collection, converted to .pfb in 2001 by the
author of TeXtrace, using TeXtrace. It contains almost _all_ the EC (European
Computer Modern) and TC (Text Companion) fonts in all possible design sizes,
_all_ the AMS fonts in all possible design sizes, plus some more.

Author: pts@...

The missing EC/TC fonts are:

        fcvt0500.pfb fcvi0500.pfb fctt0500.pfb fcst0500.pfb fcit0500.pfb
        fctc0500.pfb fcff0500.pfb fcff0600.pfb fcff0700.pfb fcff0800.pfb

CTAN submission -- eline.sty: "english" lines

----- Forwarded message from Tobias Dussa -----
I have just uploaded a rather small style file for producing
"english" lines (i. e. lines that are thicker in the middle than
at the ends). The package is just one style file and quite simple.

I have placed it in incoming/texmf of ftp.dante.de; the file is
called eline.sty.
I would assume that it would best be added to someplace in
macros/generic, as it is coded entirely with plain TeX commands.

I did not much think about the licensing issue much, so I just allow
all uses and modifications, as long as a reference to the original
author is kept. Also, it is made clear that no responsibility is
assumed by myself. (If you think that it would be much better to
just use the GPL or whatever, then please go ahead and drop me a note.
I am not experienced in publishing TeX macro packages, so I am
grateful for any help, but I suppose that such an effort is not
warranted for such a small package.)
----- End forwarded message -----

Thansk for the submission.  I installed the file in
CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/generic/eline.sty as suggested.
