CTAN has a new package: talk

[FTP archive maintainer]

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org from whence it will go forth
into the world -- and in particular to your favorite mirror -- real soon.

Thanks for the contribution,
Jim Hefferon

The talk document class allows you to create slides for screen 
presentations or printing on transparencies. It also allows you to print 
personal notes for your talk. You can create overlays and display 
structure information (current section / subsection, table of contents) 
on your slides. The main feature that distinguishes talk from other 
presentation classes like beamer or prosper is that it allows the user 
to define an arbitrary number of slide styles and switch between these 
styles from slide to slide. This way the slide layout can be adapted to 
the slide content. For example, the title or contents page of a talk can
 be given a slightly different layout than the other slides.

The talk class makes no restrictions on the slide design whatsoever. The 
entire look and feel of the presentation can be defined by the user. The 
style definitions should be put in a separate sty file. Currently the 
package comes with only one set of pre-defined slide styles 
(greybars.sty). Contributions from people who are artistically more gifted 
than me are more than welcome!
