----- Forwarded message from Paul Thompson -----
I have uploaded to ftp.dante.de an update to my class file newlfm.cls.  It 
is a zip archive newlfm.zip

The package is stored at
macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/newlfm

Here is a brief description of newlfm:

Announcing newlfm.cls 3.2 (NEW Letter Fax Memo)

newlfm integrates the letter class with fancyhdr and geometry to
o automatically make letterhead stationary
o includes support for a database for addresses; instead of putting all
   the information for different letters into different letters, you put
   it in the database, and pull it into the letter with a single command
o includes support for other languages, including pig Latin
o includes a number of excluded article.cls features (table, figure)
o integrates support for memos and faxes within the same package
o full support for positioning of items (moving the date up or down; putting
   the date between from and to blocks; etc.)
o supports mass mailings and form letters easily and simply
o prints addresses on labels.  One Avery label type is set up, while others
   are being added.  Additionally, the envlab package has been integrated into
   newlfm, so that all of the features of envlab are now available in newlfm
o supports 3 different types of letters (standard, business) and includes
   full control for positioning of letter elements
o has a full manual, for ease of use.  The manual has been rewritten and 
reformatted

newlfm.cls is released under the lppl guidelines, or under gpl or under 
lgpl, whichever is LESS RESTRICTIVE

Thanks for the upload.  I installed the new version as suggested in
CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/newlfm
replacing the old version.
