Summary description: E-TeX support package
Announcement text:
Minor update to etex.sty so that it defines \globcount (to be \newcount) in the case that the extended registers are already being allocated and so the package quits with a warning.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etex-pkg More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/etex-pkg We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. Sadly Peter Breitenlohner, a co-author of this package, died last year, an obituary showing the range of his contributions to science and TeX may be found here: https://www.mpp.mpg.de/mpg/websitePhysik/pdf/nachrufe/Peter_Breitenlohner_EN.pdf For the CTAN Team Erik Braun

etex-pkg – E-TeX support package
The package provides support for LaTeX documents to use many of the extensions offered by e-TeX; in particular, it modifies LaTeX’s register allocation macros to make use of the extended register range.
The etextools package provides macros that make more sophisticated use of e-TeX’s facilities.
