+LaTeX package listofsymbols.sty v0.2
+by Stefan Spreng
+e-mail: listofsymbols@gmx.de

+Description:
+------------
+listofsymbols provides commands to (a) automatically create a list of
+symbols (also called notation or nomenclature) and (b) handle symbols
+logically, i.e. define a macro that is expanded to the desired output
+and use the macro in the text rather than `hardcoding' the output into
+the text.
+
+This helps to ensure consistency throughout the text, especially if
+there is a chance that symbols will be changed at some stage.
+Additionally, you can keep all the symbols you usually need in
+a separate file; only those you use in a document are included in the
+list of symbols.
+
+This package is more or less a combination of what the packages
+nomencl.sty and formula.sty do. The concept of creating the list of
+symbols, though, is different from the way nomencl.sty does it.
+
+Change Log:
+-----------
+Jul 2003: Compatibility problems with amsmath.sty solved
+Jul 2003: Unused symbols are no longer included in the lists
+Aug 2003: Commands includesym and losstring added
