+The bullcntr package defines the command "\bullcntr", which can be thought
+of as an analogue of the "\fnsymbol" command: like the latter, it displays
+the value of a counter lying between 1 and 9, but uses, for the purpose, a
+regular pattern of bullets. Approximately, these nine patterns of bullets
+are laid down as follows:
+
+
+ *
+ * * *
+ * *
+ 1 2 3
+
+
+
+ * * * * *
+* * * * *
+ * * * * *
+ 4 5 6
+
+
+
+ * * * * * * * *
+* * * * * * * *
+ * * * * * * * *
+ 7 8 9
+
+
+An ancillary package is included along with the bullcntr package: the
+bullenum package. This is a "wrapper" that calls bullcntr and, in
+addition, defines a new environment, called "bullenum", that lets you
+create enumeration lists numbered via the "\bullcntr" command.
+
+I wrote this package as an amusing exercise during a boring afternoon in
+which I had nothing better to do!
