+ The set of files, of which THIS file is supposed to be part of,
+ contains a package extending the capabilities of TeX/LaTeX to
+ generate the arabic writing from an ASCII transliteration for
+ texts in several languages using the arabic script. Several
+ other common encodings are also supported.
+<p>
+The package is available in packed form as
+<a href="ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/arabtex.zip">
+arabtex.zip</a>
+<!--
+and <a href=ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/arabtds.zip>arabtds.zip</a>

+arabtex.tar.Z</a> for *N*X users.
+<br>
+Depending on the server there may be also the unpacked files,
+or only these.

+The contents of a subdirectory "REPORT", if still present, are OBSOLETE.
+Refer to the (draft of the)

+
+There was a prototype, ArabTeX Version 1, which is now OBSOLETE.
+<br>
+
+Version 2 was the first complete release accompanied by a manual,
+but is no more being maintained.
+<br>
+
+Version 3 is an upward compatible extension of Version 2
+with many new features, e.g. the possibility to read input files
+in the ASMO 449, ISO 8859-6, and UTF-8 Codes,
+and a host of new commands for better formatting of Arabic text,
+or catering for historic writing styles.
+<br>
+
+Versions from 3.05 onward contain a package to process Hebrew,
+and provide long right-to-left insertions.
+
+For details, consult the manual.
