+RomanianTeX 1.3R <29.10.1996> [12.11.1996] as a LaTeX2e package
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is the release of RomanianTeX, version 1.3R <29.10.1996>,
+a LaTeX2e package for type-setting Romanian in a multi-lingual
+TeX environment.
+
+RomanianTeX 1.3R supports LaTeX2e [as of June 1966] and the
+NFSS, version 2, but old (RomanianTeX) input for RomanianTeX
+versions 1.2 and 1.2R compiles unchanged with the new version,
+under both Plain TeX and LaTeX 2.09 (so there is actually no
+need to emulate a Romanian LaTeX 2.09 configuration under a
+new-made Romanian LaTeX2e, just replace the old `romanian.sty'
+file by the new [generated] one).
+
+Files in this distribution [revision 12.11.1996]:
+
+ readme .txt : This file
+ manifest.txt : Table of contents
+ hyphen-x.cfg : LaTeX2e hyphen configuration [eXample]
+ rohyphen.tex : Romanian hyphen patterns [version 1.1]
+ romanian.dtx : LaTeX2e archive [contains .sty and .drv]
+ romanian.ins : LaTeX2e installation file
+ romanian.doc : End-user documentation
+ [misssing as of 12.11.1996]
+
+INSTRUCTIONS. How to generate a RomanianTeX configuration.
+
+Basically, we need a bi-lingual US-English/Romanian LaTeX2e system
+-- call it `rlatex' -- to begin with. To get it, do first
+
+ `hyphen-x.cfg' -> [renaming] `hyphen.cfg',
+
+then make the LaTeX2e (with `hyphen.cfg', and both `[us]hyphen.tex'
+and `rohyphen.tex' around), by
+
+ initex latex.ltx \dump -> [generating] `latex.fmt'
+ `latex.fmt' -> [renaming] `rlatex.fmt'
+ LET rlatex = tex &rlatex [executable batch file, say].
+
+So equipped, do the following:
+
+ rlatex romanian.ins
+ [this works with original LaTeX2e, too]
+ -> [generating] `romanian.sty'
+ -> [generating] `romanian.drv'
+ put `romanian.sty' on the TeX-path
+ rlatex romanian.drv
+ [this needs (US-English + Romanian) LaTeX2e]
+ -> [generating] `romanian.dvi'
+ = the macro-code documentation
+ [not really meant for the end-user].
+
+From now on, we don't need LaTeX2e if we don't want it (generate
+a bi-lingual, etc. Plain TeX or LaTeX 2.09, on the old pattern.)
+
+MINIMAL END-USER INFORMATION (look up `germdoc.tex' too):
+
+ In this version [1.3R], there are practically no
+ changes in the end-user commands [\romanianTeX-mode].
+
+USAGE: with Plain TeX: \input romanian.sty
+ with LaTeX 2.09: \documentstyle[...,romanian]{...}
+ with LaTeX2e: \documentclass[...]{...}
+ \usepackage{romanian}
+ etc.
+
+INPUT-ENCODING. The Romanian diacritics and the Romanian quotes
+have been macro-encoded by double quote escapes ["-prefixing],
+as in German TeX.
+
+Map:: DQ-input: => TeX:
+ -----------------------------
+ "a => \u{a} [no encoding for \u{A}]
+ "A => \^{a} [no encoding for \c{A}]
+ "i => \^{\i}
+ "I => \^{I}
+ "s => \c{s}
+ "S => \c{S}
+ "t => \c{t}
+ "T => \c{T}
+
+while DQ-escaping e, E, o, O, u, U yields trema's resp. Uml\"aute
+(as a bonus). Since the Romanian quotes are like the German ones,
+the macro-encoding is the same as in German TeX.
+
+Local hyphenation tools: as in German TeX (DQ-escaped " - | ~ =).
+
+Language switches:
+
+ \romanianTeX : RomanianTeX [default on initialization]
+ \originalTeX : this is the original [English] TeX
+ \germanTeX : this behaves exactly like German TeX
+ [using `ghyph31.tex' 3.1a <13.02.1994>]
+ [NO need for `german.sty' 2.5c <1.05.1966>]
+ \frenchTeX : this is a French setting.
+
+The detailed end-user documentation will be available at a later date.
