- `tools' bundle
- =================
-
- This `bundle' consists of LaTeX2e packages written and supported by
- members of the LaTeX3 project.
-
- The documented source code of each package is in a file with extension
- `.dtx'. Running LaTeX on the file tools.ins will produce all the
- package files, and some associated TeX files.
- So you should first process tools.ins:
-
- latex tools.ins
-
- The files with extensions .sty and .tex (including a file `.tex')
- should then be moved to a directory on LaTeX's standard input path.
-
- Documentation for the individual packages may then be
- obtained by running LaTeX on the `dtx' file.
- For example:
-
- latex array.dtx
-
- will produce array.dvi, documenting the array package.
-
- *NOTE* Copyright is maintained on each of these packages by the
- author(s) of the package.
- Unless otherwise mentioned in the package file, all the packages in this
- bundle are released under the Copyright restrictions detailed below.
- In particular, the multicol package is distributed under special terms,
- as explained in multicol.dtx.
-
- The file manifest.txt contains a list of the main files in the
- distribution together with a one-or-two line summary of the package.
-
-
- Reporting Bugs
- ==============
-
- If you wish to report a problem or bug with any of these packages,
- use the latexbug.tex program that comes with the standard LaTeX
- distribution. Please ensure that you enter `1' when prompted with a
- menu of categories, so that the message will be automatically forwarded
- to the appropriate part of our database.
-
- When reporting bugs, please produce a small test file that shows the
- problem, and ensure that you are using current versions of the package,
- and the LaTeX software.
-
-
- Distribution of unchanged versions
- ==================================
-
- You are NOT ALLOWED to take money for the distribution or use of
- these files except for a nominal charge for copying etc.
-
- Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that all files
- listed in the corresponding package's manifest.txt file are
- distributed including this readme file.
-
- If you receive only some of these files from someone, complain!
-
- However, if these files are distributed by established suppliers as
- part of a complete TeX distribution, and the structure of the
- distribution would make it difficult to distribute the whole set of
- files, then *those parties* are allowed to distribute only some of the
- files provided that it is made clear that the user will get a
- complete distribution-set upon request to that supplier (not from
- us).
-
- Note that this permission is not granted to the end user.
-
- The individual packages may bear additional copyright notices which
- supersede this general copyright notice.
-
-
- Generation and distribution of changed versions
- ===============================================
-
- The generation of changed versions of the files included in the
- packages is allowed under the following restrictions:
-
- - You rename the file before you make any changes to it.
-
- - You acknowledge the origin of the original version in the file and
- keep the information that it (or a changed version) has to be
- distributed under the restrictions mentioned in this file.
-
- - You change the ERROR REPORT address so that we don't get error
- reports for files *not* maintained by us.
-
-
- The distribution of changed versions of the files included in the
- tools bundle is allowed under the following restrictions:
-
- - You provide the user with information how to obtain the original
- package or, even better, distribute it with your files.
-
- - You make sure that the changed versions contain a notice that
- prevents others to take money for distribution or use of your
- files, i.e. they have to be distributed under the restrictions
- mentioned in this file.
-
- - You inform us that you created a changed version of the files.
- This is only necessary if you want to distribute it to others.
