+This is version 2.603 of the exam document class, dated December 17,
+2017.
+
+The exam document class, together with its user's guide examdoc.tex,
+attempts to make it easy for even a LaTeX novice to prepare exams.
+Simple commands are provided to:
+
+1. Create questions, parts of questions, subparts of parts, and
+subsubparts of subparts, all with optional point values.
+
+2. Create a grading table, indexed either by question number (listing
+each question and the total possible points for that question) or by
+page number (listing each page with points and the total possible
+points for that page). A grading table can cover the entire exam or
+just a part of the exam. Grading tables can have multiple rows or
+multiple columns.
+
+3. Create headers and footers that are each specified in three parts:
+One part to be left justified, one part to be centered, and one part
+to be right justified.
+
+4. Have headers and/or footers that are different on the first page of
+the exam, different on the last page of the exam, and that vary
+depending on whether the page number is odd or even, or on whether the
+current page continues a question from a previous page, or on whether
+the last question on the current page continues onto the following
+page.
+
+5. Have multiple line headers and/or footers, and to increase the part
+of the page devoted to headers and/or footers to allow for this.
+
+6. Include solutions and have these solutions either printed or
+ignored (or replaced automatically by space in which the students can
+write their answers) depending on a single command.
+
+7. Leave blank space, or space in a box, or lined space, or dotted
+lined space, or space filled with a grid.
+
+8. Change the words that are inserted by the document class (for,
+e.g., point values, or table headings), so that they can be adapted to
+personal taste and/or languages other than English.
+
+The user's guide examdoc.tex attempts to explain all of the
+possibilities in a readable way, with many examples.
