Summary description: Typeset documents using base twelve numbering (also called "dozenal").
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
The package supports typesetting documents whose counters are represented in base twelve, also called “dozenal”. It includes a macro by David Kastrup for converting positive whole numbers to dozenal from decimal (base ten) representation. The package also also includes a few other macros and redefines all the standard counters to produce dozenal output. Bugs in the original redefinition of these standards counters have been resolved. Fonts, in Roman, italic, slanted, and boldface versions, provide ten and eleven (the Pitman characters preferred by the Dozenal Society of Great Britain). The fonts were designed to blend well with the Computer Modern fonts.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/dozenal . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/dozenal (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 .
