+Copyright 1999 Michael John Downes.
+Copyright 2012 TeX Users Group.
+This file is part of the showdim package, released under the LPPL;
+see showdim.sty for details.
+
+This package (showdim) prints dimensions in various values:
+
+\tenthpt - Print dimen in points, rounded to the nearest tenth
+\tenthpc - Print dimen in picas, rounded to the nearest tenth
+\hundredthpc - Print dimen in picas, rounded to the nearest hundredth
+\tenthpcpt - Print dimen in tenths of a pica and whole points.
+\pttenthpc - Print dimen in points and tenths of a pica.
+\pthundredthpc - Print dimen in points followed by the equivalent in picas
+ (to two decimal places).
+\points - Print dimen rounded to the nearest whole point.
+\picas - Print dimen converted to the nearest whole pica.
+
+This package was written by Michael Downes, who passed away in 2003. He
+released it without a license, which is considered nonfree nowadays. In
+October 2012, his heirs (his children Zoe, Elizabeth, and Mia Downes)
+have all agreed to re-releasing his work under any version of the LaTeX
+Public Project License. Therefore, the package is now released under
+the LPPL, version 1 or (at your option) any later version.
+
+The only change in this release is to the license (and typos).
+The actual code is the same as Michael's last release.
