The "algorithms" bundle provides two environments, "algorithmic" and "algorithm", which are designed to be used together but may be used separately. The "algorithmic" environment provides an environment for describing algorithms and the "algorithm" environment provides a "float" wrapper for algorithms (implemented using "algorithmic" or some other method at the author's option). The reason that two environments are provided is to allow the author maximum flexibility. The algorithms bundle is (currently) licensed under the Lesser GPL license, which is a Free Software license. It may, in the future, be released under the standard LaTeX license (the Latex Project Public License). -- Rogério Brito Fri, 2 Jun 2006 21:54:10 -0300
