+Description
+===========
+
+ctanify is intended for developers of LaTeX packages who want to
+distribute their packages via the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network
+(CTAN). Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a
+.tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure.
+The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all
+files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which
+facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution of
+TeX.
+
+ctanify has been tested primarily on Linux but with reports from users
+that it also works on OS X and can work on Windows under Cygwin.
+Volunteers willing to help port ctanify to other platforms are
+especially welcome.
