On Mon, 2 Aug 2004 Scott Pakin submitted an update to his eqparbox
package:
> Name of contribution: eqparbox
> Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox/
> Summary description: Create equal-widthed parboxes
> License type: lppl
>
> Announcement text:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more
> blocks of text occupy the same amount of horizontal
> space on the page. To that end, the eqparbox package
> defines a new command, \eqparbox, which works just like
> \parbox, except that instead of specifying a width, one
> specifies a tag. All eqparboxes with the same tag --
> regardless of where they are in the document -- will
> stretch to fit the widest eqparbox with that tag. This
> simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety
> of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples
> in eqparbox's documentation.
>
> Version 2.0 makes better use of TeX's memory, allows
> numbers and symbols to appear in tags, preserves fonts
> across \\ boundaries, and eliminates some incorrect
> \global prefixes.

Thanks for the upload, I installed the new version.
