-## README for the `tools` bundle
+The LaTeX `tools` bundle
+========================
+Release 2019-10-01 pre-release 3
-This bundle consists of LaTeX2e packages written and supported by
-members of the LaTeX3 Project Team.
+Overview
+--------
-The documented source code of each package is in a file with extension
-`.dtx`. Running LaTeX on the file `tools.ins` will produce all the
-package files, and some associated files.
+This bundle consists of packages providing a range of basic tools for
+LaTeX users. It is a required part of a LaTeX installation.
-So you should first process `tools.ins`:
+Installation
+------------
- latex tools.ins
+We no longer distribute installation instructions for the various TeX
+implementations. All modern TeX systems include `tools` as-standard, and end
+users should in general use the release versions supplied in this way.
-The files with extensions `.sty` and `.tex` (including a file whose
-name is just `.tex`) should then be moved to a directory on LaTeX's
-standard input path.
+Release distribution is carried out only through the CTAN archives.
-Documentation for the individual packages may then be obtained by
-running LaTeX on the `.dtx` files.
-
-For example:
-
- latex array.dtx
-
-will produce the file `array.pdf`, documenting the array package.
-
-
-The file `manifest.txt` contains a list of the main files in the
-distribution together with a one-or-two line summary of each package.
