Karl Berry submitted an update to the

                  texfot

package.

Summary description:  Filter clutter from the output of a TeX run

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

 texfot is a small Perl script to filter the online output from a TeX
 run, attempting to show only those messages which are likely to deserve
 some action. The TeX invocation itself remains unchanged.

 This small update only adds a note to the documentation that setting
 max_print_line can be useful to avoid TeX's folding of lines.
 (Thanks to Patrick Breheny for the suggestion.)
 Specifically:
   # When errors are missed due to TeX's folding of lines:
   texfot pdftex --cnf-line max_print_line=999 file.tex

   # Equivalently:
   env max_print_line=999 texfot pdftex file.tex

 This program has no home page other than CTAN and no mailing lists.
 Please send bug reports/requests/discussion directly to me,
 karl at freefriends.org.
