A new document formatting system called Lout is now available (free
of charge).  Lout offers an unprecedented range of advanced features,
including equation formatting, tables, diagrams, rotation and scaling,
sorted indexes, access to bibliographic databases, running headers
and odd-even pages, automatic cross referencing, and much more, all
ready to go.  Furthermore, Lout is easily extended with definitions
which are very much easier to write than troff of TeX macros.  This is
all possible because Lout is the outcome of a seven-year research
project which went back to the beginning.

Lout is written in C, is highly portable to Unix systems, and produces
PostScript output (used by most laser printers).  It is distributed
as a compressed tar file called lout.tar.Z in the pub subdirectory
of the home directory you land in when running "ftp beta.cs.su.oz.au"
with login name "anonymous" and no password.  The distribution contains

* Complete C source code
* Standard packages of definitions for tech reports, books, equations,
  tables, diagrams, and Pascal prettyprinting (all written in Lout)
* Complete user documentation in the form of six technical reports
  and a Unix manual page
* A makefile and installation instructions

Lout was designed and implemented by Jeffrey H. Kingston (jeff@cs.su.oz.au)
of the Basser Department of Computer Science at the University of Sydney.
