+This package contains the following files:
+
+ - `Readme': this file.
+ - `dramatist.dtx': the package source file.
+ - `dramatist.ins': the installation driver file.
+
+In order to get file `dramatist.sty' you have to run tex on
+`dramatist.ins' (you'll get also the example files).
+
+In order to get documentation you have to run latex on
+`dramatist.dtx'.
+
+Then move `dramatist.sty' in a directory where TeX looks for style
+files and move documentation files in the directory you like.
+N.B.: if you have a file `docstrip.cfg' in your system you only
+need to create directories <basedir>/tex/latex/dramatist and
+<basedir>/doc/latex/dramatist - TeX will automatically move the
+files in these directories.

+
+ - Overview -
+
+The present package provides support for drama both in verse and
+in prose. The following facilities are given: two environments for
+typesetting dialogues in prose or in verse; new document divisions
+corresponding to acts and scenes; macros that control the
+appearance of characters and stage directions; and automatical
+generation of a `Dramatis Personae' list.
+
