Dear MikTeX administrators On CTAN, there was a package french containing french.sty with its utilities. This package was free from 1992 through 1998.From 1999 to 2007 it was still there, but as shareware. I mean, therefore it was not part of the MikTeX packages. With the death of the author, Bernard Gaulle in 2007, the french package stood still. Therefore and because many people were interested to continue using it, a group of persons created a new package names e-french and with the agreement of the heiress Catherine Gaulle, this package was published since January 2011 under a free licence, namely the LPPL. Is is to be found under <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/french/e-french>. But till now, if I insert a command \usepackage{french}, MikTeX doesn't find it. It is still not in the available packages of MikTeX. Is this correctable ? The package frenchle, that is present delivers a reduced version of the original french.sty, named frenchle,sty. The same group is also adapting that one, and the adapted version is also to be found under e-french in the CTAN-archives. Regards Raymond Juillerat |
