+THE SCALEBAR PACKAGE
+
+Abstract
+
+This package creates scalebars for maps, diagrams or photos.
+It was designed for use with cave maps but can be used for
+anything from showing a scalebar in kilometers for topographic
+maps to a scalebar in micrometers for an electron microscope image.
+
+To produce the style file run:
+ latex scalebar.ins
+ This will produce scalebar.sty which needs to be copied to
+ a suitable directory under your local texmf directory.
+
+To produce the documentation run:
+ latex scalebar.dtx
+ This will produce scalebar.dvi documentation.
+
+To produce an index for the documentation:
+ makeindex -s gind.ist scalebar
+ latex scalebar.dtx
+
+To produce a change history for the documentation:
+ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o scalebar.gls scalebar.glo
+ latex scalebar.dtx
+
+Files supplied in this package:
+ scalebar.ins Batch file, run through LaTeX
+ scalebar.dtx Docstrip archive, run through LaTeX.
+ scalebar_examples.pdf
+ Lots of examples on how to use the macro
+ already formatted for you in PDF format.
+ scalebar_examples.tex
+ LaTeX source for the examples.
+ README This file
+
+I hope you find the package useful.
