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.
