+Preprint Collection: (May 2013)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+This directory contains some packages written by Patrick W. Daly. The
+primary distribution site is:
+
+http://www.mps.mpg.de/software/latex/localtex/localltx.html
+
+I (Arash Esbati) mentioned balance.sty in comp.text.tex, was invited
+to put in on CTAN, asked Patrick W. Daly for permission, wrote this
+readme for your convenience and made a CTAN submission.
+
+
+Legal stuff:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The copyright holder of these packages is Patrick W. Daly. They can be
+redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public
+License Distributed from CTAN archives in directory
+macros/latex/base/lppl.txt; either version 1 of the License, or any later
+version.
+
+
+Important note:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Unfortunately, the author of these packages doesn't have the time for
+further development, bug fixes, "wishes" etc. Hence, they are provided
+"as is". If you run into problems, you are on your own.
+
+
+Brief description:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+1. authblk.sty: (version 1.3 from 2001/02/27)
+ A LaTeX2e package to redefine the \author command to work as normal or
+ to allow a footnote style of author/affiliation input.
+
+2. balance.sty: (version 4.3 from 1999/02/23)
+ When writing a document with LaTeX two-column mode, the columns on the
+ last page, or those before a \cleardoublepage command, will be of
+ unequal height. balance.sty solves this problem by modifying the output
+ routines in two-column mode.
+
+3. figcaps.sty: (version 4.7 from 1999/02/23)
+ This package allows the figure captions to be collected throughout the
+ paper and printed on a separate page at the end. The figures themselves
+ will not appear in the text. This is for purposes of a manuscript for
+ submission. Similarly, tables are not printed in the text, but are
+ outputted at the end, after the figure captions. This package may
+ optionally be used with the longtable environment defined in the package
+ of the same name.
+
+4. fullpage.sty: (version 1.1 from 1999/02/23)
+ This package sets all 4 margins to be either 1 inch or 1.5 cm, and
+ specifies the page style.
+
+5. sublabel.sty (version 4.5 from 1999/02/23)
+ The macros in this package allow all counters to be subnumbered, as for
+ example 4a, 4b, 4c, simply by bracketting the objects to be so numbered
+ with appropriate on/off commands. They will work with any user-defined
+ counters too.
+
+6. appendix.sty: (version 2.2 from 2005/10/30)
+ Adding this package redefines \appendix so that main counters for
+ figures, tables, equations are subnumbered under the appendix. The
+ plate counter is also subnumbered. A \noappendix command is included so
+ that things like bibliographies may be called after the appendix with
+ \section*. This package is only useful with article documentclass for
+ obvious reasons.
+
+ N.B.: This package is not available on CTAN due to a name clash. You
+ have to fetch it from the site mentioned above.
+
+
+Installation:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Just run LaTeX on (package).ins, which generates (package).sty. If you
+want the documentation as a dvi, run LaTeX on (package).dtx, otherwise use
+the provided format. Move the .sty-files to a directory where LaTeX looks
+for the input files. Update your file name database and you're done.
+Check your local guide for more Information.
+
+
+Happy TeXing!
