+ README and INSTALLATION Instructions for FoilTeX Version 2.1.4b
+
+The FoilTeX is a collection of LaTeX files for making foils. 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.

+ 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.
