CTAN Update: zwpagelayout

On Sun, 1 Mar 2009 Zdeněk Wagner submitted an update to the 

  zwpagelayout

package.

This package was developed as a typographers’ toolbox offering the most 
important features for everyday work.  First it allows setting the paper size as 
well as the page layout.  The next important feature is the ability to print 
crop marks both with TeX + dvips or (x)dvipdfm(x) and with pdfTeX.  Finally it 
is possible to reflect pages both horizontally and vertically.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/zwpagelayout/
Summary description: Update of the sample files
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I was notified that the sample files require a private
package that is not publicly available. The macros in the
sample files were modified and dependence on encTeX was
removed so that everyone can run them through LaTeX. The
package itself remained unchanged.
