+makeshape 2.1 (25 January 2013)
+
+The makeshape package simplifies writing PGF shapes.
+
+Declaring custom shapes with correct anchor borders can be difficult.
+Complex shapes often need complicated calculations to find the touching
+point of a connecting line. This package only requires that a developer
+write a PGF path describing the anchor border. It also provides macros
+that help with the management of shape parameters, and the definition
+of anchor points.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The package's documentation files are
+
+makeshape.pdf - The package's user guide
+sampleshape.tex - A sample shape.
+testsample.tex - Source for a document that tests the sample shape.
+testsample.pdf - The outcome of the tests.
+ontesting.pdf - A report on the various tests used in testsample.tex
+
+The package's installation files are
+
+makeshape.sty - The package's style file
+
+makeshape.ins - The package's installation file.
+makeshape.dtx - Source for the package's user documentation and code.
+ontesting.dtx - Source for a report on testing and code for the test
+ document.
+
+These files can be generated with the following commands
+
+pdflatex makeshape.ins
+pdflatex makeshape.dtx
+pdflatex ontesting.dtx
+pdflatex testsample.tex
+
+Comment out the 'OnlyDescription' line in makeshape.dtx to include the
+package's implementation documentation.
