Dear gang,
A couple of days ago I decided to port my old LaTeX cv to ConTeXt. Could
not find any ConTeXt templates, and the currvita.sty referred to in the
ConTeXt archives was ugly compared to my present cv. So I wrote an
experimental module which I present here.
Following is the module and a sample file. Please give me your suggestions
for improvement, and any of you should feel free to post it to the wiki.
Best
Idris
