+# gentombow
+
+This bundle provides a LaTeX package for generating Japanese-style
+crop marks (called 'tombow' in Japanese) for practical use in
+self-publishing.
+The core feature of "gentombow.sty" is based on pLaTeX kernel.
+
+## Supported engines
+
+All packages except bounddvi.sty works with the followings:
+- LaTeX + dvips/dvipdfmx
+- pLaTeX/upLaTeX + dvips/dvipdfmx
+- pdfLaTeX
+- LuaLaTeX
+- XeLaTeX
+
+## Bundle contents
+
+- gentombow.sty:
+ Generate crop marks (called 'tombow' in Japanese) for
+ practical use in self-publishing.
+ It provides the core 'tombow' feature if not available.
+- pxgentombow.sty:
+ (Superseded by gentombow.sty; for compatibility only.)
+- bounddvi.sty:
+ Set papersize special to DVI file.
+ Can be used on LaTeX/pLaTeX/upLaTeX (with DVI output mode)
+ with dvips or dvipdfmx drivers.
+ Old version (v6.0) was written by Koichi INOU in 2004
+ (https://www.ma.ns.tcu.ac.jp/Pages/TeX/bounddvi.sty.html),
+ and incorporated into this bundle by his courtesy.
+
+## Miscellaneous patches
+
+Some packages are unaware of crop marks defined in "gentombow";
+to cope with those packages, patches are provided here.
+- pxtextpos.sty:
+ Patch for textpos.sty (by Norman Gray).
+- pxesopic.sty:
+ Patch for eso-pic.sty (by Rolf Niepraschk).
+- pxpdfpages.sty:
+ Patch for pdfpages.sty (by Andreas Matthias).
+
+These patches can also be used independent of "gentombow",
+to avoid problems with crop marks on pLaTeX and upLaTeX.
+
+## Character encoding
+
+All the package files (.sty) contain ASCII characters only.
+All the document files (.tex) are encoded in UTF-8.
+
+## Installation
+
+- *.sty -> $TEXMF/tex/latex/gentombow
+- *.tex, *.pdf -> $TEXMF/doc/latex/gentombow
