We had a short discussion about that in april. Please refer to the

IIRC you should just install your files into the normal texmf-tree,
like it is done e.g. by pdfscreen, latex_ucs etc. and call texhash in
postin.

% truncate.sty ver 3.5 15-Aug-2000 Donald Arseneau
% This LaTeX program is released to the public domain.
%
% Truncate text to a specified width: \truncate[marker]{width}{text}
%
% If the text is too wide to fit in the specified width, then it is
% truncated, and a continuation marker is shown at the end. The default
% marker, used when the optional "[marker]" parameter is omitted, is
% "\,\dots". You can change this default by redefining "\TruncateMarker"
% ("\renewcommand{\TruncateMarker}{}").
