Version 3.33 of Lout is now available from the usual place:

    ftp://ftp.it.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout/lout-3.33.tar.gz

Also as usual, there is a copy of the formatted User's Guide at

    ftp://ftp.it.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout/lout-3.33-user.ps.gz

and a diff file from 3.32 to 3.33 at

    ftp://ftp.it.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout/lout-3.32-to-3.33.gz

As always, let me know of an problems, comments, suggestions, etc.

Changes and new features introduced in Version 3.33 [November 2006]

   "-w" command line option prints word count only on last "-r" run
   prg2lout Python language updated to Python 2.5 (Mark Summerfield)
   EPS files generated by Lout even safer to include in Lout documents
   New @Diag link shapes: dhuline, dhucurve, uhdline, uhdcurve
   "SHORT_LENGTH" data type removed from C code (cue general rejoicing)
   A0 and A1 paper sizes added (and they *really* work)
   "strut @Font" inserts an invisible vertical strut into each word under it
   "font" option to "@List" etc., e.g. "@NumberedList font { strut }"
   "@NewPage { Yes }" option to "@Section" etc. for properly spaced new page
   "@Floater" symbol added (clone of "@Figure" and "@Table")

I forgot to document @Floater in the User's Guide, but it works in
exactly the same way as @Table and @Figure.  It will be documented
next time but just by saying what I just said.
