****** ANNOUNCING the release of FoilTeX 2.1.4a for LaTeX2e *******
******************************************************************
I have recently uploaded the latest release of the FoilTeX system for
generating foils (transparencies, slides) using TeX. You should find
it on your nearest CTAN in
/nonfree/macros/latex/contrib/supported/foiltex
******************* About the package ***************************
Its features include simplicity of use, compatibility with LaTeX,
large sans serif font as default, extra macros to start foils with
bold headings and special mechanisms to control footer and header.
This new version (from 2.1.4 to 2.1.4a) mostly fixes an landscape
orientation problem with dvips and Ghostview.

foiltex – A LaTeX2ε class for overhead transparencies
This is a venerable package, which used to have many admirers. It has not, however, been adopted by any of those developing screen-projector packages (as for example seminar was adopted by the developers of prosper).
The class may be used with fancybox to place a variety of borders around the slides.
