Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This newest package is a simple application of established packages
graphicx, multido and AeB Web. The package takes a rectangular graphic
and uses it to tile the background of the pages.

Download your favorite tiled background swatch from the Internet, convert
it to an .eps or a .pdf format (depending if you use distiller---should
work for users of Ghostscript as well---or pdftex), place that image in
the same folder as your source document. Now, anywhere in your document,
use the command \setTileBgGraphic to create your tiled background.

Other features Turn tiling on or off. Draft mode (an package option)
used during the content development stage. Change the way the tiles
are laid out, change from top-to-bottom to bottom-to-top.
