+     banner, then sets \doname to invoke that instead of doing it directly.
+
+
      •  signs.sty zots \docharnamehere and uses \sheetbanner instead of \name.
+     This makes it easier to use them as extractables if the mood strikes you.
+     OTOH, \me does not get set to the sign's "name" unless you invoke
+     \name explicitly.  If you're using signs as extractables that would
+     be a poor idea.
+
+
      •  signs.sty does its level best to get you to set \takedownby.
+
+
      •  Added sample \topquote entries to the Bluesheets/ and Greensheets/
+     template and sample files, since it works in any sheets.sty document
+     and using it there seems popular.
+
+
      •  The geometry package has been introduced to handle all
+     page-layout functions.  You can turn it off easily if you hate it.
+     
          
+
+     
        1.  "texdoc geometry" at the athena prompt for the full guide, of
+          which you'll never need more than small amounts.  It's a very
+	  flexible package that gives you lots of ways to set page layout.
+          
          (If you've used the geometry in the newtex locker,
+	  you will definitely want to check out the new docs --- they changed
+	  the syntax massively and incompatibly.  It is a vast improvement.)
+
+     
        2.  game.cls does \RequirePackage{geometry}[2002/07/08].
+
+     
        3.  \geometry{pass} or \geometry{pass=true} in a style will turn off
+          the effects of the geometry package in files using that style.
+	  You could then set \geometry{pass=false} in a substyle to turn it
+	  back on.
+	  So, if you decide you just hate the package, you can just set
+	  \geometry{pass} in custom.sty and not have to take out all the
+	  \geometry invocations everywhere.
+
+     
        4.  mechanics-packet.sty, extractable.sty, and cards.sty each
+          invoke geometry a few times.  The package's flexibility is
+	  exploited to choose invocations that should interact fine with
+	  most obvious things jointly-used styles might want to do.
+	  (E.g. the invocations in mechanics-packet.sty and those in
+	  extractable.sty DTRT whether you use either or both.)

+
+     
        •  fancyheadings was deprecated;

+          \pagestyle{empty} instead.
+     
        •  simplemargins vanished;
+          switch to geometry for page layout. (See above.)
+     
        •  fullpage still exists, but is
+          pointless when using geometry.
+
+     
        
+     And you may find the occasional random package you like (that the
+     Template neither contained nor used) missing.  Often these have just been
+     renamed  (and maybe upgraded), e.g. ncs.sty vanishes but newcent.sty
+     appears for the New Century Schoolbook fonts.
+     
        
+     If you're unable to find a tetex equivalent for some newtex-only foo.sty
+     you really need, do (using backticks!)
        
+     attach newtex   % not add!
        
+     cp `/mit/newtex/bin/kpsewhich foo.sty` My/Game/LaTeX/Styles/
        
+     and if dvips wails for a newtex-only foo.pro (or perhaps 'foo')

+     cp `/mit/newtex/bin/kpsewhich foo.pro` My/Game/LaTeX/Postscript/
        
+     to have them available for your game.

+     to $GAME, or to the temp dir, for jobs that write output to unusual

+     but tetex's more modern latex is more cautious.  The packets script
+     now needs and uses this feature.
