plainpkg
package.
Summary description: minimal method for making generic packages
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
`plainpkg.tex' provides a "minimal" method for making "generic" packages, combining `maybeload' functionality, fallback definitions for \ProvidesPackage and \RequirePackage, and handling of arbitrary (multiple) "private letters" in nested package files. The documentation contains a central reference for making and using "generic" packages based on `plainpkg.tex'. For catcode stacks, the package actually requires stacklet.sty (new catcodes bundle). See README for related (more comprehensive) packages.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/plainpkg . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/plainpkg (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). 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. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

plainpkg – A minimal method for making generic packages
The package provides a minimal method for making generic (i.e., TeX-format-independent) packaged, combining maybeload functionality, fallback definitions for LaTeX \ProvidesPackage and \RequirePackage functionality, and handling of arbitrary (multiple) “private letters” (analagous LaTeX packages’ use of “@”) in nested package files. The documentation contains a central reference for making and using generic packages based on the package.
