+The CURVES package version 1.55 of 2017/08/25.
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+Draws curves in the LaTeX 2e picture environment using parabolic arcs
+between data points with continuous slope at joins. For circles and
+circular arcs uses up to 16 parabolic arcs. Also draws symbols or dash
+patterns along curves. A straight side switch changes curves to
+polygons. Extends picture capability without extra programs and data
+files. Parabolic arcs consist of short chords drawn by overlapping
+disks or line drawing `\special's selected by package options.
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+If your LaTeX system is comprehensive curves.sty may already be
+installed. Download `curves.dtx' and run
+
+ $ latex curves.dtx
+
+If you get the error message:
+
+ ! LaTeX Error: File `curves.sty' not found.
+
+curves is not installed. If you get messages about `\straighttrue'
+undefined you need to upgrade `curves.sty'. If LaTeX stops processing
+with anything else press `S' then `Enter'.
+
+Use the following if you wish to install or upgrade `curves.sty'.
+Download `curves.ins' and run
+
+ $ latex curves.ins
+
+which will generate `curves.sty' and `curvesls.sty' from `curves.dtx'.
+To install curves you need to put `curves.sty' on your TeX search path
+as root or administrator and run `mktexlsr' or equivalent to update
+the TeX file databases.
+
+USE
+
+Download and read `curves.pdf' for instructions and simple examples.
