You're welcome.

Thanks. I think that this will be a good addition to sarge's release,
IMVHO.

That was a product of pure ignorance of mine. I will probably change the
license, anyway (see below).

Yes, I know that this is strange, but LGPL was already used as the license
when I got the package from Peter Williams.
I was already considering changing the licence to LPPL or whatever is best
to be distributed with other TeX packages, but I was struggling with
sourceforge's registration system until I got fed up and decided to
register the project with BerliOS.
Besides being faster/less bureaucratic, BerliOS also provides a SVN
repository, which will be a welcome addition, since I intend to change the
structure of the package (I will try to use the usual .ins and .dtx style
of distribution and to put some extra features in the package).
Those changes would be a pain with plain CVS.

Oh, thanks. I didn't know that you had already prepared a package. I will
grab what you have in <p.d.o/~frank/teTeX-3.0/dists/experimental/>. Is that
the best version for me to try?
Thanks for considering including algorithms in teTeX.
Thank you, Rogério.
