+This archive contains a test release of LaTeX Tibetan. It is free
+software. Some bugs probably remain. LaTeX Tibetan is free software.
+See the file COPYING for copying conditions.
+
+==========================================================================
+
+This package was obtained from Ronald Schwartz at the Memorial University of
+Newfoundland. It provides a LaTeX front-end for writing modern Tibetan.
+
+Directions are in the file called instruct (in the doc/instruct.ps file).
+
+===========================================================================
+
+Notes added in June 1994 by Dominik Wujastyk (d.wujastyk@ucl.ac.uk):
+
+Development of this package seems to have halted, at least for the
+present. For information about the package, the contact person is
+Robert Knight <KNIGHT@PUCC.EARN>. Neither Robert nor I can any longer
+contact Ron Schwartz or Jeff Sparkes.
+
+Robert noted recently that:
+
+ I believe that Ron's intention was that anyone who wanted it could
+ have it with the proviso that they not try to make money from his
+ work. He had the help of a programmer who was not compensated. The
+ GNU font utilites could probably be applied to the font and a decent
+ METAFONT made from it. If the package is put out, that might happen
+ faster than it is with me.
+
+ Please put some sort of disclaimer that will protect Jeff Sparkes'
+ (the programmer's) investment in time.
+
+I (Dominik) have added a Makefile modified to work with Mattes's emx/gcc
+sytem under OS/2, and I have added a file bin/tfilt.exe which an
+executable for OS/2 or DOS. It is bound with emx.exe, and under DOS it
+requires an 80386 processor or better and DOS version 3.0 or higher. I
+have also added the GNU public license to protect the rights of future
+users of this package and any derivatives.
