CTAN package update: glossary
Date: July 26, 2006 11:45:40 AM CEST
Nicola Talbot has uploaded a new version of the glossary package:
The package supports generation of a glossary with makeindex. It has
a certain amount of flexibility allowing the user to customize the
format of the glossary and define new glossary-style objects so that
you can have more than one type of glossary in your document.

glossary – Create a glossary
The package supports generation of a glossary with makeindex. It has a certain amount of flexibility allowing the user to customize the format of the glossary and define new glossary-style objects so that you can have more than one type of glossary in your document.
The package is no longer supported; the author urges users to switch to use of its replacement, the glossaries package. Migration support is available, within the newer package.
