Summary description: Create illustrations for network protocol specifications
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The bytefield package helps the user create illustrations
for network protocol specifications and anything else that
utilizes fields of data.  These illustrations show how the
bits and bytes are laid out in a packet or in memory.

Version 1.3 adds support for e-TeX's larger dimen pool using
code provided by Heiko Oberdiek.  When used with the etex
package, bytefield should now be far less likely to abort
LaTeX with a "No room for a new dimen" error.
