[R] pdfcolor (and more)

[Tim Hoar]

Perhaps at one time it was included in pdftex ...

I downloaded     /pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex/0.14h/pdftex-20010417.tgz
(The source of the distribution mentioned at the TUG site Kurt references.)

installed it ... and lo ... there is    NO   pdfcolor.tex   file in the
distribution. I downloaded it from the DUKE mirror with essentially the
same result.

As you can see from my original post ... I am using pdfTeX circa May, 2000
and the newest one (without pdfcolor.tex) is circa April 2001.

I also used the CTAN search for pdfcolor.tex to no avial, so I am guessing it
is not currently in the distribution.

What now?

In a message from Han The Thanh
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/1999-December/006060.html

   "pdfcolor.tex redefines \makeheadline and \makefootline. Please notice
    that this file is for demonstration purpose only: LaTeX users should
    use graphicx/color package, and plain users are supposed to know what
    they are doing :). The first line of pdfcolor.tex says:

    % Very simple macros to show how to use colors with pdftex

    Perhaps I should remove the re-definition of \makeheadline and
    \makefootline from pdfcolor.tex, as it might be dangerous.

    Thanh"

So I wonder about building in a dependency.

The URL was pretty much "the only" hit for a google on pdfcolor.tex
