CTAN upload: The umlaute package v2.1

On Wed, 1 Feb 2006 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted

 The umlaute package v2.1

to CTAN.

This is some kind of pre-historic `inputenc' package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/umlaute/
License type: lppl

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This about-10-years-overdue update reduces the `umlaute' package to a
simple loader of the `inputenc' package. (And gives an `obsolete'
warning.) But the input encoding definition files `atari.def' (for
ATARI ST(E)/TT/Falcon(TM)) and `roman8' (for HP-UX(TM)) are still
usefull since they are missing in the LaTeX2e `inputenc' package
distribution. (These 2 files have been cleaned up from the crap inside
and have been adapted to the current `inputenc' package.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the upload.

CTAN upload: png2pdf-1.0.11

On Mon, 6 Feb 2006, Dirk Krause submitted an update to the

  png2pdf

package, a PNG to PDF converter.

Corrections were applied to a cp command. It must copy

to "-cp ...".

pst-3dplot is a package using PSTricks to draw a large variety of
graphs and plots, including 3D maths functions.  Data can be read from
external data files, making this package a generic tool for graphing
within TeX/LaTeX, without the need for external tools.

I've installed the update as requested, and updated the catalogue.

Thanks for the upoad.
