+OVERVIEW
+--------
+Package xlop proposes two main features. First, xlop prints
+operations (displayed or running), that is, user write only
+operands. Second, xlop is able to deal with unlimited numbers, in
+fact, limitations are due to TeX memory. This features include
+basic arithmetic operations, input/ouput, numeric variables, tests,
+and some high level operation (without operations which imply infinite
+processing such exponential, trigonometric functions, etc.).
+
+DISTRIBUTION
+------------
+License
+-------
+All the source files have the license type lppl
+
+Contents
+--------
+Distribution consists of files:
+ * README (the file you are reading)
+ * LISEZ.MOI (same in french)
+ * history.txt relates project history
+ * manual.sty package file to compile documentation
+ * xlop-doc-fr.tex and xlop-doc-fr.pdf source and pdf of french user's
+ manual of xlop
+ * xlop-doc.tex and xlop-doc.pdf source and pdf of english user's
+ manual of xlop
+ * xlop.tex xlop code
+ * xlop.sty allow the use of xlop as LaTeX package
+
+Installation
+------------
+xlop can be used under TeX or LaTeX. Thus, TDS recommendations are
+that the best place to put the file xlop.tex is
+ [texmf]/tex/generic/xlop/
+and that the best place to put xlop xlop.sty is
+ [texmf]/tex/latex/xlop/
+
+For documentation files (README, history.txt, manual.sty, and
+fr-user.*), best place should be [texmf]/doc/generic/xlop/.
+
+You have just to run texhash command (or mktexlsr, or ...) to refresh
+your texmf base and all should work fine.
+
+BUGS AND TROUBLES
+-----------------------------
+If you detect some bug, whatever its seriousness (that could be just
+spurious spaces), try to illustre this error with an example as short
+as possible. Particularly, don't use unecessary package. Sent your
+code with a short explanation at:

+If you wish for some feature in a future version, ask to the author.
+To help my antispam soft, could you please write 'xlop' in the message
