+ ALaTeX Distribution Guide
+
+ 21 January 1996
+ Matt Swift <swift@bu.edu>
+
+
+WELCOME TO ALaTeX!
+
+This file is a brief guide to the ALaTeX document preparation system,
+which is a small but useful modification of the LaTeX document
+preparation system. You may produce a discussion of the goals of
+ALaTeX by processing the file `metaclas.tex' with LaTeX. The paper is
+based on parts of the article "Modularity in LaTeX" by Matt Swift in
+TUGboat vol. 16 no. 3.
+
+ALaTeX is NOT part of the LaTeX distribution. It is maintained
+exclusively by Matt Swift <swift@bu.edu>, NOT by the LaTeX
+maintainers.
+
+The ALaTeX distribution will probably work with all LaTeX versions,
+but it has been tested starting with the December 1995 release. If a
+change in the LaTeX kernel requires a change in ALaTeX that makes it
+incompatible with earlier LaTeX kernels, I will increase the major
+version number. If I make an drop-in improvement to ALaTeX, I will
+update the minor version number.
+
+The ALaTeX version is displayed on the screen every time ALaTeX is
+invoked with a reminder that ALaTeX is not standard LaTeX.
+
+The file 00readme.txt in the LaTeX distribution contains information
+about the LaTeX distribution.
+
+Here is a brief description of some of the ALaTeX files:
+
+ - ainstall.txt describes how to install ALaTeX and its documentation.
+ - metaclas.cfg is the standard ALaTeX metaclass.
+ - alatex.tex documents ALaTeX and its standard metaclass.
+ - alatex.ltx is a patch to the LaTeX kernel.
+ - amanifst.txt lists all the files in the ALaTeX distribution with
+ one line of information about their contents.
+ - abugs.txt describes how to submit a bug report for ALaTeX.
+ - COPYING is a copy of the GNU General Public License.
+ - Makefile is a Unix makefile for building and installing ALaTeX on
+ Unix systems.
