[Axiom-developer] date of pamphlet documents

[William Sit]

Hi Bill:

When a pamphlet file is rendered, the date of the pdf file is always
\today. That seems to be misleading, as many of the source files have
not been updated for ages. Would it be possible to post the date of the
last modification of the pamphlet file (taken from the file attribute of
the PAMPHLET file, not the tex or pdf file)? Of course, this change of
date from \today to file date should not be done to the pamphlet itself,
but should be part of the extraction process by weave (or better, by the
\usepackage{axiom} using a modified \maketitle macro) so that instead of
inserting \today, one inserts the last modification date of the pamphlet
file (without touching it) to the tex source before applying latex.

BTW, in generating the tex source, perhaps one could also set up to
\usepackage{hyperref}, as part of \usepackage{axiom}? or should this be
left to the author?

Just minor suggestions. Not a high priority if there is no easy
solution.

William
