Re: Several .tex files from https://ctan.org/pkg/olsak-misc are incorrectly in DOC instead of RUN

Hi quark67 (and Petr),

    I can't find file `circu'.

Yes, thanks for the report. I know. I can't install additional files
with such "generic" names. Some of the files in olsak-misc are
grandfathered in (booklet.tex, qrcode.tex, scancsv.tex, etc.) since they
have been in the runtime for many years. But newer files (circu.tex,
cnv.tex, openclose.tex, etc.), whose names have no relationship to the
package name, and which have never been in the TL runtime, just can't be
moved to the runtime now. I can't set that precedent.

I seem to recall Petr and I discussing this some years ago and he didn't
want to rename the files, which is certainly understandable. In which
case, the only recourse is for users to copy them out of the doc
directory into their own directory/ies. --best, karl.
