+The forms16b3 Package
+Author: D. P. Story
+Dated: 2019-03-20
+
+The forms16be package provides support for UTF-16BE Unicode character
+encoding (called a big-endian character string) for the text string
+type (PDF Reference, version 1.7, beginning on page 158). Text strings are
+used in "text annotations, bookmark names, article threads, document
+information, and so forth" (to partially quote page 158). The particular
+application is to set property values of form fields, at least those
+properties that take the text strings as its value. The package contains
+support for Basic Latin plus the ability to enter any unicode character using
+the notation \uXXXX, where 'XXXX' are four hex digits. Package
+works for dvips/Distiller, pdflatex, lualatex, and xelatex.
+
+What's New (2019-03-20) Changed when macros are expanded; changes are in
+response to new features of insdljs (2019/03/16) and eforms (2019/03/16).
+
+Enjoy!
+
+Now, I must get back to my retirement.
