Archive-name: games/chess/latex-chess/1990-12-03 Archive: archive.cs.ruu.nl:/TEX/chess.tar.Z [131.211.80.5] Original-posting-by: rcpt@rwc.urc.tue.nl (Piet Tutelaers) 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.
