Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-12 Severity: wishlist * Package name : PPower4 * URL : http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/ppower4/readme.html * License : GPL
PPower4 is used to post process (La)TeX files formatted with pdf(la)tex to be able to build pages step by step during a presentation. The software is written in Java and it is free (refer to the GNU general public license). It has been run successfully with Java 1.1.6 and 1.2.x on different flavours of Unix and Win32. If you use kaffe, make sure that you have at least version 1.0.5 (out since October 18th, 1999) and use at least version 0.7.1 of PPower4. The Java part works with kaffe and it's even possible to compile it with gcj (not fully testet). This would make it possible to include it into main - if there wasn't the dependency of the LaTeX files on foiltex which means that it has to go into contrib. :-(
