Marked Objects plug-in: Get the latest update of the `Marked Objects' plug-in
for use with Adobe Illustrator (v 9.x and 10.x): Macintosh version, Windows version.
Thanks to Tom Ruark of Adobe Systems Inc. for this software.
Stop Press: for Macintosh users
Here is a suitcase of Macintosh Screen Fonts which fixes some problems with the Xy-pic Type-1 PostScript fonts, reported to occur under some circumstances with MacOS 8.5 and later. Thanks to Tom Kacvinsky for identifying the problem and supplying the fix.
This new suitcase should show version 1.0.5 in the "Get Info" dialog box.
These driver files are updates and fixes to: textures.def (for LATEX color and graphics), textures.con (for PSTricks), htexture.def (hyperref support), and a fix (colorsaf.sty) to prevent ``color-bleeding'' with PiCTEX.

Finally, these are XY-pic driver files for elementary support of some special effects with pdf-TeX.
Currently only color is supported through native PDF effects. The Type 1 fonts are still required.
The main use of WARMreader is for putting labels
and annotations on figures and graphics imported
into TEX and LATEX documents.
However, what the WARMreader macros actually do
is much more general than this.
The ``reader'' part of the name is meant to indicate that the macros allow arbitrary files to be opened and read by TEX, to extract data that appears in a user-specifiable form. This data is then stored internally, and is easily recovered for later use within the document being processed. Since the file is read sequentially, line-by-line, different types of data can be read from the same file and handled appropriately.
To understand a bit better what WARMreader does,
let's first dispell any misconceptions by saying
what it does not do, or require:
