+ The boxhandler package
+ ======================
+
+ Tools for Optimizing Captions, Presentation, and Placement
+ of Tables and Figures
+
+
+This package facilitates the optimized presentation of LaTeX tables and
+figures. Not only can boxhandler conveniently lay out table and figure
+captions with a wide variety of stylistic appearances, but allows for
+figures and tables to be ``wrapped'' in a manner consistent with many
+business and government documents.
+
+For a document that might appear in different venues with different
+formatting, boxhandler very powerfully permits the creation of a LaTeX
+source document that can, with a single-line change in the source code,
+produce an output that has vastly different layout from the baseline
+configuration, not only in terms of caption style, but more importantly
+in terms of the locations where figures, tables and lists appear (or
+not) in the document.
+
+Deferral routines also allow one to keep all figure and table data in a
+separate source file, while nonetheless producing a document with
+figures and tables appearing in the desired location in the document.
+
+Compatibility with the hyperref package is available with V1.30.
+
+Run `boxhandler.ins' through LaTeX to produce boxhandler.sty
+ from boxhandler.dtx.
+Run `boxhandler.dtx' through LaTeX to produce the documentation.
