+\maketitle
+
+\texttt{nuc.sty} is provided by Neal Davis (davis68@illinois.edu). This package provides automatic notation for nuclear isotopes. Isotopes which have Z with more digits than A require special spacing to appear properly. nuc.sty is released under the LaTeX Project Public License.
+
+This is an early draft (v0.1) of this package.
+
+It is invoked in the usual way,
+ \texttt{\textbackslash usepackage{nuc}}
+and each element and isotope is indicated by \texttt{\textbackslash(element name)\{(element weight)\}}.
+For instance, \texttt{\textbackslash Pa\{231\}} produces \Pa{231}; \texttt{\textbackslash O\{18\}} produces \O{18}; and \texttt{\textbackslash H\{3\}} produces \H{3}. This of necessity overrides the basic \LaTeX~commands \texttt{\textbackslash H}, \texttt{\textbackslash O}, \texttt{\textbackslash P}, \texttt{\textbackslash S}, \texttt{\textbackslash Pr}, and \texttt{\textbackslash Re}.
+
+It appears that under certain circumstances, \protect may be required prior to
+invoking the element (i.e., \texttt{\textbackslash protect\textbackslash Fe\{56\}}).
+
+All elements are supported, with additional support for deprecated atomic symbols such as \Cb{93} (columbium, now niobium) and \Ku{263} (kurchatovium, now rutherfordium).
+
+This package does not currently support omission of the atomic number subscript,
+although that is planned for the next version.
+
+\texttt{nuc.sty} is released under the LaTeX Project Public license v1.3 or later.
