it was removed at the request of the author, vafa khalighi.

several other packages have also gone; i ran out of time, so there are a

(i found the ctan removal exercise very depressing, and had to force
myself to carry on,)

after i've done, there'll be another delay before the remaining packages
disappear from tex live.
