+Readme File for the mathbbol package by J"org Knappen
+(c) Copyleft 1995--1999 J"org Knappen under the GNU licence version 2
+
+ The mathbbol package exploits the bbold-fonts and the stmaryrd-fonts
+designed by Alan Jeffrey and Jeremy Gibbons. Many people prefer these fonts
+over the AMS \mathbb, because the symbols for the real numbers, complex
+numbers, etc. look just right. But the Jeffrey fonts contain more:
+blackbord bold digits, lower case letters, greek letters and even punctuation.
+
+ To use this package, just write
+\usepackage[cspex,bbgreekl]{mathbbol}
+in the preamble of the document. Note that this package has two options.
+
+-- cspex activates the special extension font, allowing you to say
+ $\left\Lbrack ... \right\Rbrack$ to get double lined extensible
+ brackets.
+
+ With Version 2 of the package, the extensions are taken from the
+ stmaryrd fonts instead of cspex, since the latter fonts are withdrawn
+ by their author.
+
+-- bbgreekl activates commands for the lower case blackbord bold greek,
+ which are just \bbalpha ... \bbomega.
+
+Without options, the following commands are defined:
+
+o \mathbb{A} to produce blackbord bold A. All upper and lowercase latin
+ letters are accessible this way. It overwrites AMS-LaTeX's
+ \mathbb (and can be overwritten if you load amsfonts after mathbbol)
+o \mathbb{0} to produce the blackbord bold digit 0. All digits are
+ accessible this way
+o \mathbb{\Lambda} to produce a blackbord bold Lambda. All uppercase greek
+ letters are accessible this way.
+o \Langle, \Lbrack, \Lparen to produce blackbord bold <, [, (
+o \Rangle, \Rbrack, \Rparen right counterparts of the above
+o \Eins to produce blackbord bold digit 1.
+
+ There are more symbols in the font, which aren't defined, because they
+are never (really?) needed.
+
+ Please find the bbold and stmary fonts on your nearest CTAN archive in
+directory tex-archive/fonts/bbold.
+
+ This package assumes that the Sauter-tools, to be found in
+tex-archive/fonts/cm/sauter, are used to generate the fonts at true sizes.
+
+ This package contains 4 files, namely
+
+ mathbbol.rme This readme file
+ mathbbol.sty The package file
+ ubbold.fd Font definition file for the bbold fonts
+ ustmary.fd Font definition file for the stmaryrd fonts
+
+ Conflicts with other packages:
+
+If amsfonts is loaded together with mathbbol, the later package decides
+the shape of the \mathbb letters.
+
+If amsmath is loaded, \mathbb{<Capital greek letter>} does not work any
+more. To work around, save the original definitions of \Gamma etc. before
+loading amsmath and restore them afterwards:
+\let\savedGamma\Gamma
+\usepackage{amsmath}
+\let\Gamma\savedGamma
