I've now replaced the outdated version of
1998/02/03 | 9564 | macros/generic/multido/multido.doc
1998/03/13 | 99 | macros/generic/multido/multido.sty
1993/03/03 | 18836 | macros/generic/multido/multido.tex
by the current version of the multido files previosly located on
2004/05/17 | 495 | graphics/pstricks/doc/multido-test.tex
2004/05/21 | 9900 | graphics/pstricks/doc/multido.doc
2004/05/21 | 60231 | graphics/pstricks/doc/multido.pdf
2004/05/21 | 9853 | graphics/pstricks/generic/multido.tex
2004/05/17 | 751 | graphics/pstricks/latex/multido.sty
I'm sorry for this confusion; I should hat checked for the old files while
installing the new ones together with Herbert Voss' current PSTricks
version.
