+1 INTRODUCTION
+==============
+
+This package allows to compute the mass of a printed version of a
+document, useful e.g. when sending it by mail to determine the postage.
+
+Warning/Disclaimer: The mass of (printer's) ink has to be added and that
+of envelope, address sticker, stamps,... Thus this is only an estimation
+without guarantee - do not sue me, if you have got to pay excess postage!
+This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License
+(LPPL). See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/
+licenses.lppl.html for the details of that license.
+
+
+2 DOWNLOAD
+==========
+
+`papermas' is available on CTAN:
+ CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/papermas/
+
+Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files, already
+sorted in a TDS tree:
+ CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/papermas.tds.zip
+
+`CTAN:' means one of the `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network'
+nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in
+ http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives
+
+The CTAN stuff will be mirrored automatically from the
+ftp server, so
+ ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/papermas/
+corresponds to
+ CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/papermas/
+
+
+3 INSTALLATION
+==============
+
+Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
+----------------------------------------
+The ZIP file `papermas.tds.zip' contains the files sorted
+in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file
+inside a TDS tree.
+(See CTAN:tds.zip for an explanation of TDS.)
+Example:
+ cd /...somewhere.../texmf
+ unzip /...downloadpath.../papermas.tds.zip
+Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this
+TDS tree.
+Example:
+ texhash /...somewhere.../texmf
+
+Manual installation
+-------------------
+a) Download the papermas files from CTAN or the TUG server.
+ If necessary, unpack them.
+b) Generate the package and driver files:
+ tex papermas.ins
+c) Install the file `*.sty' in your TDS tree:
+ cp *.sty TDS:tex/latex/papermas/
+ Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree
+ (texmf directory).
+d) Copy the documentation files to
+ "TDS:doc/latex/papermas/":
+ README, papermas.pdf, papermas-example.tex,
+ papermas-example.pdf.
+e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for teTeX:
+ mktexlsr .../texmf
+
+
+4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
+=====================
+
+Depending on the driver and option settings, papermas loads
+other packages:
+* kvoptions.sty:
+ CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/kvoptions.dtx
+* intcalc.sty:
+ CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/intcalc.dtx
+* pageslts.sty:
+ CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/pageslts/pageslts.dtx
+which again load other packages
+(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file
+ of the example).
+
+
+5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
+=======================
+
+papermas should be loaded AFTER package pageslts.
+
+
+6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER
+=====================
+
+* H.-Martin Münch
+
+
+7 BUG REPORTS
+==============
+
+A bug report should contain:
+* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or
+ warning messages.
+ * \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the
+ TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages.
+* Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not
+ contain any unnecessary packages and code.
+* Used drivers/programs.
+* Version information about used packages and programs.
+ * If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles". Then
+ a list of version information is printed at the end
+ of the LaTeX run.
+* Please no other files than the minimal test file.
+ The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom
+ necessary, so send them only on request.
+* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them!

+8 KNOWN PROBLEMS
+=================
+
+TeX 2011/06/27 has changed \enddocument and
+thus broken the \AtVeryVeryEnd command/hooking
+of atveryend package as of 2011/04/23, v1.7.
+Until it is fixed, \AtEndAfterFileList is used.
