: Here is a summary of the most significant changes (from the file NEWS in
: the distribution):
:
: * Double column macros revamped (thanks to guichard at fermat.whitman.edu) so
:   \singlecolumn can be invoked on the same page as \doublecolumns.
:   3- and 4-column typesetting also supported.
:   Column ejects also supported (sort of).
: * \parskip set to zero before each footnote (but not for the footnote text).
: * \ref and \cite conflicts with amstex described in manual.
: * \catcode of @ properly restored (reported by adam at symcom.math.uiuc.edu).
: * `| ' in \verbatim argument documented (also reported by adam).
: * | not hardwired as the \verbatim escape character (thanks to
:   dorai at cs.rice.edu).
: * Defining \noarrow before eplain.tex is read omits arrow macros
:   (suggested by Rex Shudde <0024P at NAVPGS.BITNET> and
:   murray at macadam.mpce.mq.edu.au.)
:
: For those who haven't previously heard of Eplain: it is a collection of
: macros intended to provide relatively low-level capabilities, regardless
: of how your document appears.  For example, it has macros to do symbolic
: cross-referencing, but not macros to produce a section heading.  It also
: has some definitions that make it easier to change the conventions of
: plain TeX's output.  For example, it lets you produce left-justified
: math displays by simply saying `\leftdisplays'.
