License: gpl2
Summary description: Extended plain TeX macros
Announcement text:
Eplain version 3.8 is available from CTAN via http://ctan.org/pkg/eplain and directly from http://tug.org/eplain. It's also included in TeX distributions. This minor release updates the bundled ifpdf.sty to the current version, and fixes btxmac.tex to avoid conflicts with babel's plain.def. General: the Eplain macro package extends and expands on the definitions in plain TeX. It's intended to provide useful definitions regardless of how a document might be formatted, such as cross-referencing by labels. Eplain was originally developed for the book TeX for the Impatient, published by Addison-Wesley in 1990. That book is now freely available, from http://ctan.org/pkg/impatient, along with several translations. (Also in TeX distributions.) Please send bug reports to tex-eplain at tug.org (web interface: http://lists.tug.org/tex-eplain). Happy expanded TeXing, Karl
The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/eplain The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain/ We are supported by the TeX users groups. Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
