New Package: Basser Lout 3.28
-----------------------------

I have contributed lout328*.zip (binaries, sources, Postscript
compiled documentation) to the DJGPP repository. The zip files
should be available on a DJGPP mirror near you shortly.

For DOS/DJGPP users of Lout, it supercedes the Gnuish Lout 3.12
distribution, which is the last Lout version for which DOS
binaries are available, to my best of knowledge.

THE LOUT DOCUMENT FORMATTING SYSTEM

Lout is a document formatting system similar in style to LaTeX.
It offers a very full range of features, including PostScript,
PDF, and plain text output, optimal paragraph and page breaking,
automatic hyphenation, PostScript EPS file inclusion and
generation, equation formatting, tables, diagrams, rotation and
scaling, sorted indexes, bibliographic databases, running headers
and odd-even pages, automatic cross referencing, multilingual
documents including hyphenation (most European languages are
supported, including Russian), formatting of computer programs,
and more.  Lout may be extended by writing definitions which are
much simpler than the equivalent troff of TeX macros.

Lout is written in highly portable ANSI C and runs on most
platforms. It is distributed under the GNU public license. Its
primary web site is

         ftp://ftp.it.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout/

Lout was designed and implemented by Jeffrey H. Kingston
of the School of Information Technologies (formerly Basser
Department of Computer Science) at the University of Sydney.

See the official Lout home page for more details:

Please read the README.dj file:

          contrib/lout-3.28/README.dj

since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc.
pertaining to this DJGPP port of Lout.

The packages are DSM 0.6.1 compliant, and install/uninstall
has been tested on pakke 0.2.3.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the
DJGPP mailing list.
