+Description
+===========
+
+wheretotrim is a Perl script and auxiliary LaTeX package that helps
+LaTeX users reduce their document's page count. It is intended to be
+used with documents that exceed a publisher's specified page-length
+limitation by a small amount (much less than a full column or page).
+wheretotrim reports the page and column on which the least amount of
+text needs to be trimmed to reduce the page count. It works by
+repeatedly rebuilding the given document, analyzing the benefit of
+trimming from each column or page one line of text, then two, then
+three, and so forth until the document's page count decreases.
+
+wheretotrim has been tested only on Linux. It might work on OS X. It
+probably won't work on Windows.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+To create wheretotrim.pl and wheretotrim.sty simply run "tex
+wheretotrim.ins". Rename wheretotrim.pl to wheretotrim and install it
+somewhere in your path. Install wheretotrim.sty somewhere where LaTeX
+can find it. See
+http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages for
+general information about installing packages.
