Date: April 23, 2003 12:49:21 PM CEST
A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should, in the
next day or two, make its way via the magic of FTP mirroring to a site
near you.
Thanks for the upload,

- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The eemeir package facilitates writing documents that
must be produced in both a male and a female form by
providing natural commands to type in place of gender
specific words. The user can extend the list of such
commands as the need arises.
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eemeir – Adjust the gender of words in a document
Defines macros for third-person singular pronouns (\E,
\Em, \Eir, \Eirs), which expand
differently according to a masculine/feminine switch. (If the
switch is masculine
, they would expand to
he
, him
, his
and his
; if feminine
, they
would expand to she
, her
,
her
and hers
. Apart from the
pronouns, one can define word pairs
, such as
mother/father, daughter/son, and so on.
Gender may be defined once per document, as an environment, or may be flipped on the fly.
