What's New: (05/09/07) I've added a pro option to the Web package, new
features include:
    (1) \DeclareDocInfo data structure that allows you to enter basic
        information using a key-value style. Integrated the use of the
        aebxmp package into this structure.
    (2) Greater control over how the title page is laid out.
        (a) \universityLayout{<key-values>}
        (b) \titleLayout{<key-values>}
        (c) \authorLayout{<key-values>}
        (d) \DesignTitlePageTrailer{<key-values>}

        (a) \tocLayout{<key-values>}
        (b) \selectDings{<key-values>}
    (4) \selectColors date structure that allows a uniform way of
        setting virtually any color in the web scheme of things.
    (5) Greater control of section headings: Set font, size, color,
        horizontal alignment, box in title, shadow letters, frame title,
        framecolor title, set ding, and much much more
        set color of number, set color of ding
        (a) \noSectionNumbers - use nothing or dings
        (b) \sectionLayout{<key-values>}
        (c) \subsectionLayout{<key-values>}

acrotex, and unzip the acrotex.zip package.  Install the AcroTeX
Bundle by executing the command: latex acrotex.ins. The eq2db Package (optional)
can be installed with the command: latex eq2db.ins.

Now try LaTeXing the file webeqtst.tex, with the appropriate driver
option set: E.g.,
\usepackage[dvipsone]{web}
\usepackage[dvips]{web}
\usepackage[pdftex]{web}
\usepackage[dvipdfm]{web}

Hopefully everything will work correctly.

If you want to do something fancy with eForms, review the eformman.pdf.
If you are interested in online quizzing, see eq2dbman.pdf.

I maintain a web site featuring TeX/LaTeX/PDF stuff called
AcroTeX (www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/acrotex.html).  There you
will find the home web page of the AcroTeX eDucation Bundle.
(www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/webeq.html).

I also have a web site www.acrotex.net, where you can get the latest
versions, and contribute to the AcroTeX Forum.

Now, I simply must get back to my retirement.
