Yesterday, I announced some updates to the Mainz packages (ARRAY, DOC,
FTNRIGHT, MULTICOL, NFSS, and THEOREM) on FILESERV/Niord.  There have been
updates to the updates, as provided by Rainer Schoepf (my thanks to him for
quickly getting these fixes to me).  These updates fix a few problems
already found in the packages since their relatively recent update.

Main changes are:

1. Updates (again) to a number of files in MULTICOL (it's best to get the
   whole package again).  The version number has been changed from 1.4L to
   1.4M.  Use SENDME MULTICOL in the body of a mail message to 
   FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu) to retrieve these updates.

2. For all packages, the readme and installation files have been
   improved. Thus, the files:
     ARRAY.INSTALL_MZ5, ARRAY.README_MZ, and ARRAY.README_MZ5
 from ARRAY;
     DOC.INSTALL_MZ0, DOC.README_MZ, and DOC.README_MZ0
 from DOC;
     FTNRIGHT.INSTALL_MZ6, FTNRIGHT.README_MZ, and FTNRIGHT.README_MZ6
 from FTNRIGHT;
     NFSS.INSTALL_MZ3, NFSS.README_MZ, and NFSS.README_MZ3
 from NFSS; and
     THEOREM.INSTALL_MZ2, THEOREM.README_MZ, and THEOREM.README_MZ2
 from THEOREM
   are impacted.  Use SENDME "file_from_above" in the body of a mail
   message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu) to retrieve these
   updates.

3. A few problems in tabularx (part of ARRAY) were identified.  Thus, the
   file:
     ARRAY.TABULARX_DOC in ARRAY
   is impacted.  Use SENDME ARRAY.TABULARX_DOC in the body of a mail
   message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu) to retrieve this
   update.

4. Changes in oldlfont.sty (part of NFSS).  Thus the file:
     NFSS.OLDLFONT_STY from NFSS
   is impacted.  Use SENDME NFSS.OLDLFONT_STY in the body of a mail
   message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu) to retrieve this
   update.

One important remark to verify if what you have is the latest from these
packages: Frank's mail address is no longer <PZF5HZ@RUIPC1E.BITNET>; it is
now <MITTELBACH@MZDMZA.ZDV.Uni-Mainz.de>.  This change is reflected in the
headers of all files in these packages, except NFSS.  The latest NFSS
headers reflect the date 8 September 1992 in them.  All files now in place
(and requested from now on) are the new files; it is requests made in the
past 24 hours which are of concern.  If you are in doubt, it may be
advisable to simply re-request the complete package (though I believe that
the list above is complete).  Also, the ZIP files in each directory on
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) have been updated to include the latest
files.

Thanks to Rainer for his quick action in getting these fixes to me.  I'm
sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused (Why do problems always
show up immediately after release?)

Regards,   George
