+INSTALLATION
+
+1) Run `metre.ins' through LaTeX.
+
+2) Copy `metre.sty' into a directory along the input path of TeX.
+
+3) Run `metre.dtx' through LaTeX to get the documentation
+ (`metre.ind' must be in the same directory as `metre.dtx').
+
+ By default, only the first part of the file (the user guide) is
+ processed; if you are interested in the code, follow the
+ instructions near the beginning of `metre.dtx'.
+
+4) Run LaTeX on `demo.tex' to verify the installation.
+
+5) To process `greek1.tex', `greek2.tex' and `greek3.tex' you must
+ have Babel installed, with the `polutonikogreek' option.
+ To process `igreek1.tex', `igreek2.tex' and `igreek3.tex'
+ you must have Ibycus4 installed.
