+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ ArabTeX Version 3
+ =================
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Last changes: Version 3.11d, 23.10.2003
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 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.
+
+ The package is available in packed form as "arabtex.zip" and
+ "arabtex.tgz". Depending on the server there may be also the
+ unpacked files; check for the latest version of "apatch.sty"!
+
+ The following ASCII files give more detailed information:
+
+ arabtex.doc : a short introduction (rather out of date)
+ arabtex.faq : answers to some Frequently Asked Questions
+ (updated as necessary)
+ changes.txt : release history, new features, and known bugs
+ (updated as necessary)
+ changes2.txt : older release history up to version 3.00
+ install.txt : list of available files, and installation notes
+ apatch.sty : last minute corrections; put this file onto the
+ TEXINPUT path; it will patch automatically.
+ (updated as necessary)
+
+ There are also various additional documentation files.
+ A subdirectory "REPORT", if still present, is OBSOLETE.
+
+ There was a prototype, ArabTeX Version 1, which is now OBSOLETE.
+ Version 2 was the first complete release accompanied by a manual,
+ but is no more being maintained.
+
+ 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 many new commands for
+ better formatting of Arabic text, or catering for historic writing
+ styles. Versions from 3.05 onward contain a package to process
+ Hebrew, and provide long right-to-left insertions. For details,
+ consult the manual and the ASCII file "readme.305".
+
+ ArabTeX is copyrighted by the author. If you use the system for
+ scientific work please give appropriate credit to the software
+ and the author (e.g. in the colophon of a monograph.) We also
+ appreciate a complimentary copy of any scientific work produced
+ with ArabTeX.
+
+ ArabTeX may be redistributed and/or modified under the terms
+ of the LaTeX Project Public License distributed from CTAN
+ archives in the directory "macros/latex/base/lppl.txt"; either
+ version 1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
+
+ ArabTeX is an experimental system and supposed to change without
+ prior notice. Whoever will use it does so at her/his/its own risk.
+ We cannot take any responsibility on correct function, suitability
+ for whatever purpose, or correct documentation.
+
+ If you have any complaints or suggestions, please forward them to
+ the author. We shall consider any reasonable suggestion, but we
+ will use our own judgment on any changes, and our resources are
+ severely limited.
+
+ If problems turn up while running ArabTeX, please check first at
+ "ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de" whether there is a new version,
+ or whether there are any new corrections in "apatch.sty". If the
+ problem goes away with the new version, please inform the server
+ you got ArabTeX from; otherwise send a bug report to the author.
+
+ The reference site "ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de" always holds
+ the current version. We know that the CTAN servers "ftp.tex.ac.uk",
+ "ctan.tug.org", and "ftp.dante.de" mirror this site and update on
+ a regular schedule.
+
+ An empty E-Mail message to "arabtex@informatik.uni-stuttgart.de"
+ will produce a current status report.
