ago to equalise the height of subscripts in maths. The default behaviour 
is to place subscripts slightly lower when there is a superscript as 
well, but this can look odd in some situations.

CTAN update: mkjobtexmf v0.3

On Mon, 3 Sep 2007, Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update to the 

  mkjobtexmf

package.

The progam mkjobtexmf runs a program and tries to find the used file 
names. Two methods are available, option "-recorder" of TeX (Web2C) or the 
program strace.

Then it generates a directory with a texmf tree. It checks the found files 
and tries sort them in this texmf tree.

It can be used for archiving purposes or to speed up following TeX runs.

Location on CTAN: support/mkjobtexmf
License: artistic

Changes of version 0.3:
 * New option --copy for copying files
   instead of symbolic linking.
 * New option --flat that put all links/files
   in the destination directory without
   directory structure.
 * New option --destdir for specifying the
   the destination directory.

Thanks for the upload.

For the CTAN Team
