Version 3.32 of the Lout document formatting system is now available,
from the usual place:
ftp://ftp.it.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout/lout-3.32.tar.gz
And as usual a separate copy of the Version 3.32 User's Guide is
available from
ftp://ftp.it.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout/lout-3.32.user.ps.gz
A brief summary of what's new appears below. Could people who reported
the bugs and requested the features please try out the new version? I'm
particularly anxious about the fix to including Lout-generated EPS files
in Lout-generated documents. It all works well here but it's a wild, wild
PostScript world out there and I would welcome reports of successful use of
EPS inclusion using 3.32, in all combinations (Lout-generated or non-Lout-
generated EPS files into Lout-generated or non-Lout-generated documents).
Well, perhaps not non-Lout-generated EPS into non-Lout-generated documents.
