[<pet...@fr...>]

from CTAN team.

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at
your local mirror.

Thank you,

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: a mexican dialect of spanish
Author's name: Luis Rivera
Location on CTAN: /language/spanish/nonstandard/mx
Summary description: language and configuration files to typeset spanish
   in mexico
License type: lppl

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed an unfortunate choice of filename: on some distributions, the
included spanish.cfg was automatically installed, thus becoming
automatically default; the file has been renamed to esmx.cfg, so you
have to create the spanish.cfg file, if not present, and type
`\include esmx.cfg' explicitly into spanish.cfg to make the mexican
spanish default.

The README file has been updated accordingly.

With my apologies to all users affected.
