Re: OT: typewriter LaTeX package

[Hugh S. Myers]

If memory serves (touch typist since 1963) it was assumed to be universal.  I had a good deal of correspondence with folks across the pond and never thought twice about the double space post-sentence. I think with the advent of first the IBM Selectric and much later the Apple/Postscript combination, somewhere in there it sort of went away!

Love the new package BTW! Tre retro :)

It may be.  I was talking about English-language typewritten texts.
