     \listfiles Alignment with Date and Version Columns

While `longnamefilelist.sty' improves LaTeX's \listfiles with
respect to long base file-names only, the present `nicefilelist.sty'
can keep separate columns for
(i) date (ii) version, and (iii) "caption"
(do not write caption text in date column),
their alignment not being disturbed by short file-name extensions
such as `.fd'. This is achieved basing on the `monofill' package.

v0.7 offers a package option `[wrap]' for automatic word wrapping
within the caption column, using the `hardwrap' package,
so file names and captions can be quite long without disturbing
the alignment.

v0.9a offers a package option `[autolength]' for automatic sizing
of the columns, using the `xstring' package.

v0.9c offers the options `[hashes]' and/or `[sizes]' to the
`\listfiles' command, `\listfiles[hashes,sizes]', as provided
by LaTeX release 2024-06-01, see LaTeX News Issue 39 at
https://www.latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews39.pdf

As opposed to the `dateiliste' package, this is about the plain
text output in the `.log' file or, with `myfilist', as a stand-
alone plain text file.
