+# gridset
+
+An experimental LaTeX package for semi-manual grid (a.k.a. in-register) setting
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+LaTeX package `gridset`
+Copyright (c) 2008—2020 Markus Kohm
+Release: 2020-02-12 v0.3
+License: LPPL 1.3c (see LICENSE.md)
+CTAN Location: https://ctan.org/pkg/gridset
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## Summary
+
+This package provides commands to save positions to and restore positions from
+`aux`-file. This may be used for grid setting (a.k.a. strict in-register
+setting).
+
+## Status Note
+
+This package should not have been released, because it was only a very
+quick implementation of an idea. You should not use it for any productive
+purpose. It has been made for testing only. I would prefer to retire it
+from any distribution. Nevertheless I know few persons using the package.
+So it will be still there but without any support!
+
+## Installation
+
+The package is part of [TeX Live](https://tug.org/texlive) (and therefore
+also [MacTeX](https://tug.org/mactex)) and [MiKTeX](http://miktex.org). Users
+should use the packages provided by their TeX distribution.
+
+However, manual extraction can be used to try out the developer version.
+
+To extract the package use:
+
+```bash
+tex gridset.dtx
+```
+
+To create the manual use:
+
+```bash
+pdflatex gridset.dtx
+mkindex gridset
+pdflatex gridset.dtx
+pdflatex gridset.dtx
+```
