+ frenchle.sty and french.sty.
+ ---------------------------

+
+HISTORY from FrenchPro to e-French
+
+The eFrench projet is born in order to keep up to date French for (La)Tex and
+maintain it available for future users. FrenchPro for (La)Tex, is the result
+of a fifteen years work of its creator, Bernard Gaulle
+
+Beginning 1999, the FrenchPro package was marketted as shareware, and Bernard
+Gaulle alone owner of all rights. He died Aug. 2nd 2007. His wife Catherine
+Gaulle, the heiress, gave authorization in that matter to the eFrench group in
+order to maintain the whole work in the future.
+
+The project is maintained by a small group started by Laurent Bloch and hosted
+by Tux Family: https://svn.tuxfamily.org/viewvc.cgi/efrench_efrenchsources/trunk/,
+email: efrench@lists.tuxfamily.org.
+
+
+ The credit for this piece of work remains with
+ the first and main author, Bernard Gaulle.

+under MikTeX (2.8 and 2.9) and TeXLive (Ubuntu).
+The user's manual is named efrench.pdf, documentation of french.sty
+(source) is named french_doc.pdf. A FAQ explains the context in which
+these packages are to be used.
+
+** The install directory
+ Short documentations for beginners are written in
+- in english: MiniDoc_Unx.txt for Unix,
+ MiniDoc_Win.txt for Windows
+ FilesInTDS.txt as further explanation
+- in french : MiniDocEf_Unx.pdf for Unix,
+ MiniDocEf_Win.pdf for Windows
+ Because pdf better for languages using
+ non 7-bits accented characters like french.
+
+** The french directory
+The french directory with its content is to be placed in a correct
+place in the Tex Directory Structure, normally under .../tex/plain
+resulting in the branch .../tex/plain/french,
+- see also FilesInTDS.txt in the install directory
+
+** The doc directory
+The documentation is provided with the sources as required under
+LPPL agreement
+- User's manuals are under "/manuels".
+- Short documentation
+ - histoire.html is the history of french.sty written in french
+ an abstract is given in changements.html
+ - lisez-moi.html explains why this name "efrench"
+ - licence.html explains the licence-history (french and english)
+ In order to render non-ascii accented characters in french,
+ html instead text for these short documentations
+
+
+MIGRATING FROM FRENCHPRO
+
+ No problem for the user. French.sty is the FrenchPro's version
+with shareware test removed and updated to a new version.
+
+MIGRATING FROM FRENCHLE
+ It is not neccessary to migrate, in e-french frenchle.sty is as
+easy accessible as french.sty
+ But for a use with XeLaTeX please migrate to french.sty
+ If you migrate there are only these things to do:
+- replace "frenchle" with "french" in the \usepackage calling it.
+- if in use please rename frenchle.cfg to french.cfg and adapt it.
+ - Within it, please desactivate the things with french
+ guillemets (chevrons), if they were active.
+
+DEVELOPMENTS FOR A BETTER COMPATIBILITY WITH XELATEX / BIBLATEX
+
+The version 6.1 takes in account the the interchartoks used by
+BibLaTeX with XeLaTeX. See the manual efrench.pdf under the
+corresponding indexes.
+
+Enjoy. Raymond Juillerat for the e-french group
