A number +of features are built-in including large sans serif font as normal +font, options for setting normalsize at 20pt (default), 17pt, 25pt or +30pt, new macros for starting new foils, for special environments like +Theorem and Proof, simple macros to control the headline and footline. +With Rokicki's dvips or Y&Y's dvipsone, it will even rotate individual +foils easily. More in formation can be found in the documentation +(foiltex.dtx, a LaTeX2e file). + +Revision for 12 Sept. 1995 requires LaTeX2e, 1995/06/01, patch level 3. + +Revision for 10 Feb. 1997 was tested with LaTeX2e, 1996/12/01. It +might work with earlier versions (if you stay away from the EC fonts +or use the new useDCfonts option). Added in this release is support +for EC fonts 1.0 and the previous DC fonts version 1.3 (and perhaps +1.2) as well as some minor bug fixes. + +Revision for 15 Aug. 1998 is for version 2.1.3 which has more bug fixes +and a few extra enhancements. + +Revision for 17 Oct. 2002 is for version 2.1.4 which has fixes for +interoperability problems with other packages (hyperref, VTeX and +PDFLaTeX). + +Revision for 29 Oct. 2002 is for version 2.1.4a and has minor fixes +but also enables better cooperation between dvips and Ghostview +(landscape isn't upside down!). + +Revision for 10 May 2006 only repairs a problem in foiltex.ins file +that was incompatable with recent versions of docstrip. Version +number of basic package stays the same. + +Revision for 28 Jan. 2008 is for version 2.1.4b and fixes a minor +incompatibility with hyperref 6.77a. + +RESTRICTIONS ON USE: +-------------------- + + Questions, comments or suggestions concerning this program can be + sent to + James (Jim) Hafner + IBM Research Division + Almaden Research Center, K56-B2 + 650 Harry Road + San Jose, CA 95120-6099 + email: hafner@almaden.ibm.com + + Copyright International Business Machines Corporation 1995,1997,1998,2002,2008 + All rights reserved + + Use of this code implies understanding, agreement and acceptance of + all terms and conditions stated in the WARRANTY DISCLAIMER and the + USER AGREEMENT found in the header of the file <foiltex.ins> file as + well as in the documentation. In particular, this code can only be + copied and redistributed under limited conditions. + +CONTENTS: +--------- + +The entire package consists of a number of files. These are described +below. + +The package files: + readme.flt (this readme file) + foiltex.ins (driver file for unpacking the code) + foiltex.dtx (user guide and documented source) +These files unpack to generate the following: + The style files: + foils.cls (the main class file, analogous to "article.cls") + fltfonts.def (font definition file) + foils.sty (compatibility mode style file) + foil17.clo (sets normalsize to 17pt) + foil20.clo (sets normalsize to 20pt, the default, analogous to + "art10.sty") + foil25.clo (sets normalsize to 25pt, analogous to "art11.sty") + foil30.clo (sets normalsize to 30pt, analogous to "art12.sty") + foilshrt.clo (sets normalsize to 12pt, removes page breaks at + new foils) + Sample file: + sampfoil.tex + +GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: +---------------------------------- + +Basic Assumption: + You must have an official version of LaTeX2e (after 12-96). + +Run this version of LaTeX on the foiltex.ins file. This will generate +all the necessary files. Follow the final instructions, which +essentially means copying the appropriate files to their proper home +in your TeX tree. See the documentation for how to set up a +foiltex.cfg file to set up some personal or system defaults for your +foils. + +NOTE: Some TeX systems (tetex, perhaps) require additional steps than +the simple ones indicated above for installing new packages (e.g., +rerunning some script that builds a small database of installed +packages). See your TeX systems documentation for installing new +packages if you have problems installing FoilTeX with the instructions +above. + +After installation, you can test by running + latex sampfoil + +WHAT TO DO WITH THE OLD FoilTeX: +---------------------------------- + + If you have the older version of FoilTeX, you can do with it what +you did with your older version of LaTeX. That is, leave it on your +system as a backup for those few FoilTeX files that won't run in the +new version in compatibility mode OR just delete all the old stuff. +You can probably delete any scripts which are FoilTeX-specific as well +as any man pages (for Unix types) as these are no longer relevant. If +you care, you can have a "foiltex" script but it should simply be +equivalent to your "latex" script. + +COMMENTS, COMPLIMENTS, QUESTIONS and SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS: +------------------------------------------------------------ + +If you have any of the above, please send them to the author, Jim +Hafner. For address information, see the section RESTRICTIONS ON USE, +in this file. |
