Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
alphplus 1st release

This package uses only TeX local counters and LaTeX primitives.  It provides 
two macros \alphplus and \Alphplus the syntax of which is the one of \alph. 
They enable us to represent numbers up to 18,278 with lower/upper case 
latin letters from a to zzz or A to ZZZ. After z comes aa and so on.

The upper limit of 18,278 seems not to be too restrictive ;-)
