+ README for the `catcodes' bundle
+ (C) Uwe Lueck 2015/11/14
+
+The `catcodes' bundle deals with category code switching.
+The contained packages should work with LaTeX as well as without
+(based on the `plainpkg' package). The important cases of category
+codes are
+(a) "private letters" for internal package commands and
+(b) active characters.
+`stacklet.sty' deals with (a), `actcodes.sty' with (b).
+There also is
+(c) `catchdq.sty', an application of (b),
+for automatic insertion of typographical double quotes
+when the user only enters ASCII double quotes. What is
+"typographical" differs between languages, the new `langcode'
+package completes `catchdq''s functionality in this respect.
+
+The documentation for the three package files is contained
+in the file `catcodes.pdf'.
+
+REQUIRED PACKAGES: plainpkg, stacklet
+
+RELATED PACKAGES: catoptions, pcatcode (amsrefs), texapi, csquotes
+
+KEYWORDs: macro programming, category codes, private letters,
+ active characters, double quotes
+
+The package files `actcodes.sty', `catchdq.sty', and
+`stacklet.sty', together with the documentation files
+`catcodes.pdf' and `catcodes.tex', can be redistributed and/or
+modified under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License;
+either version 1.3c of the License, or any later version, see
+
+ http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
+
+There is NO WARRANTY, actually all of this still is a little
+experimental.
+
+The `catcodes' bundle is author-maintained in the sense of
+the license.
+
+The latest public version of the bundle is available at
+
+ http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/catcodes/
+
+A TDS version of the package is available as
+
+ http://mirror.ctan.org/install/macros/generic/catcodes.tds.zip
+
+The file `catcodes.RLS' summarizes bundle releases. With the
+`typeoutfileinfo' package, the command
+
+ typeoutfileinfo catcodes.RLS
+
+tells which release is installed on your system. Similar packages
+are `ltxfileinfo' by Wybo Dekker and `latexfileversion' by Harald
+Harders.
