[comp.text.tex] Complete MULTICOL package available from FILESERV

bed_gdg@SHSU.EDU ("George D. Greenwade") (06/24/91)

Rainer Schoepf kindly forwarded me the files for Frank Mittelbach's
MULTICOL environment.  They are now in place and available for your access
from the Sam Houston State University file server, FILESERV.  Below is the
description file which a DIRECTORY MULTICOL command to FILESERV would
yield.  I will be putting in place a few other files from the
Mittelbach-Schoepf collection from Mainz over the next few days (weeks?) as
time becomes available.  If you have anything you would like to submit to
our packages or style collection, please forward them/it to
STY-Mgr@SHSU.BITNET or STY-Mgr@SHSU.edu and I will work to arrange it.

Regards,   George

                                 --------
The MULTICOL package include the complete set of files associated with
Frank Mittelbach's <PZF5HZ@RUIPC1E.BITNET> multicols environment in LaTeX.
Rainer Schoepf <schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.DE> contributed these files and
patiently tested their consistency in delivery from FILESERV.

The multicols environment allows switching between one and multicolumn
format on the same page.  Footnotes are handled correctly (for the most
part), but will be placed at the bottom of the page and not under each
column.  LaTeX's float mechanism, however, is partly disabled in the
current implementation and will be added in a later version.  At the moment
only floats contributed outside the scope of the environment will find
their way into the actual output.

To retrieve the entire set of files, please include the command
 SENDME MULTICOL
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).
If, for some reason, you should only require a specific file from this
distribution, such as MULTICOL.NEWDOC_STY, please include the command
 SENDME MULTICOL.NEWDOC_STY
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV.
