+=========================================================================
+
+== PURPOSE ==
+
+This bundle is an extension to the babel package for multilingual
+typesetting. It provides all necessary macros, definitions and settings
+to typeset German documents. The bundle includes support for the
+traditional and reformed German orthography as well as for the Austrian
+and Swiss varieties of German.
+
+
+== CONTENTS ==
+
+The bundle consists of the following files:
+
+* german.ins (installation file to unpack the language definition
+ files)
+* germanb.dtx (packed language definition files and
+ documentation for the traditional [1901--1996] orthography)
+* ngermanb.dtx (packed language definition files and
+ documentation for the reformed [1996 ff.] orthography)
+* germanb.pdf: unpacked documentation for germanb.ldf (support
+ for traditional orthography)
+* ngermanb.pdf: unpacked documentation for ngermanb.ldf (support
+ for new orthography)
+* README (this file)
+
+
+== INSTALLATION ==
+
+If the latest version of this package is not included in your LaTeX
+distribution, do the following:
+
+* issue "latex german.ins" to unpack the language definition files
+* copy the files (austrian.ldf, german.ldf, germanb.ldf, naustrian.ldf,
+ ngerman.ldf, ngermanb.ldf, nswissgerman.ldf and swissgerman.ldf)
+ to a location where TeX can find them
+ (default location: $TEXMF/tex/generic/babel-german/)
+
+To re-generate the manuals, issue
+* pdflatex <file>.dtx
+* makeindex -s gglo.ist -o <file>.gls <file>.glo
+* pdflatex <file>.dtx
+* pdflatex <file>.dtx
+Substitute <file> either by germanb or ngermanb.
+
