Victor Eijkhout <eijkhout@cs.utk.edu> posted recently about his update to
Lollipop TeX.  I was about to send out a note on this update when this post
from him came in on another list:

No problem!

                                 LOLLIPOP
                                 --------
The LOLLIPOP package includes the files for Victor Eijkhout's Lollipop TeX,
version 0.93 (15 November 1992).  The Lollipop format tries to bridge the
gap between the fact that in TeX anything is programmable, and the fact
that doing so is too hard for the people such as typographers, who know
actually what to program.  Or even for seasoned programmers.

Lollipop is a macro package that gives the user powerful tools for
programming macros for lists, headings, output routines and a number of
other things.  The Lollipop macros take the specifications for a macro, and
then construct that macro.

Lollipop is not finished, but it is already quite powerful; it was used to
typeset Victor's book 'TeX by Topic', for instance.  Anyone who is
interested should format the manual and have a look at the examples in it.
They document the current power of Lollipop (really: all examples,
including of output routines, are formatted on the fly).

To facilitate distribution, the package is provided in a 4 part UUENCODEd
file, which UUDECODEs to lollipop.zip, which UNZIPs to the full file set
(contents listed below).  To retrieve the files, include:
 SENDME LOLLIPOP
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu).

For anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), the ZIP
file (LOLLIPOP-0_93.ZIP) is available in [FILESERV.LOLLIPOP] and the
individual files are available in [FILESERV.LOLLIPOP.LOLLIPIP-0_93].
