+apa.cls LaTeX2e document class; version 1.3.4 of December, 2008
+
+apa.cls is a LaTeX2e class file that makes your document conform to
+the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual (Fifth
+Edition, 2001) specifications for manuscripts or to the APA journal
+look found in journals like the Journal of Experimental Psychology.
+In addition, it provides a regular LaTeX-like output with a few
+enhancements and APA-motivated changes.
+
+This is a document *class* which uses (and modifies) other packages to
+achieve strictly defined formatting results and also uses the apacite
+package (sty & bst) for citations and references. If you only want
+APA-like citation for other kinds of documents use apacite.sty with
+an appropriate class. In particular, apa.cls is *NOT* appropriate for
+your thesis; don't even consider using it for that purpose.
+
+In order to use this document class you need some packages that may
+not be present in your LaTeX distribution. Please read apacls.txt
+carefully to understand what you need to install and what is possible
+with apa.cls, then read examples.txt carefully to understand how to
+use apa.cls (macros and instructions). Check out apaexample.tex, a
+minimal example file that produces actual manuscript-like output.
+
+apa.cls is not in any way connected to, endorsed by, or probably known
+at all at the American Psychological Association. APA does not even
+accept manuscript submissions in LaTeX source. The author of apa.cls
+has made every effort to achieve typesetting results conforming to
+the APA manual, because he uses it for his manuscripts. However, he
+is not responsible if the editor does not approve of a manuscript
+typeset with apa.cls, if your computer blows up while processing your
+manuscript with apa.cls, or for anything else that may go wrong with
+apa.cls, or with anything else for that matter.
