+This directory contains psposter, an easy-to-use program for producing
+simple colored posters in PostScript.
+
+ *********************************************

+
+The master copy of psposter can be found on the Internet archive
+ftp.math.utah.edu:/pub/misc in compressed UNIX tar, zip, and zoo
+formats. It may be automatically mirrored from there to other
+Internet sites.
+
+If you don't have lptops installed (available in the same archive as
+psposter), you can create an empty afmfonts.map file, and put it in a
+directory pointed to by the AFMPATH environment variable. lptops is
+very handy, and its installation will supply you with some additional
+fonts for psposter.
+
+The files in the psposter distribution consist of:
+
+CHANGELOG Reverse time-ordered log of changes to psposter.
+
+README This file.
+
+Makefile UNIX Makefile for installing and uninstalling
+ psposter.
+
+TODO Record of things to do in future versions.
+
+bb.ps PostScript file to prepend to an EPS file for
