Original-subject: new version chess-package available
Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti)
Today I have put a new version (1.1) of my (La)TeX chess package on the
ftp-server `sol.cs.ruu.nl' (131.211.80.5) of the Department of Computer
Science of the Utrecht University, the Netherlands. The main
improvements over my previous version (1.0) are:
- improved chess.sty
o TeXcode cleaned up
o problems with castling solved
o renamed internal macro `\\' because LaTeX uses that
o better hooks to adapt chess.sty to non-english languages
o added torture tests for chess.sty (torture-test.ltx and
torture-test.tex)
- improved (and hopefully accepted) TUGboat article
- improved chessdiag.mf
- other minor enhancements.
If you already have my previous version there is no need to rush out and
get the new version because I have included chess.sty together with the
torture-tests at the end of this message. For those who still want to
download the new package I have included a message containing the
instructions how to do it via ftp and/or E-mail.
Happy (La)TeX chesswriting,
--Piet
