+Nath is a LaTeX (both 2e and 2.09) style to separate presentation and content
+in mathematical typography. The style delivers a particular context-dependent
+presentation on the basis of a rather coarse context-independent notation.
+Although essentially backward compatible with LaTeX, Nath aims at producing
+traditional math typography. Its name comes from ``NAtural maTH notation'' --
+see M.M., Natural TeX notation in mathematics, in: Proc. Conf. EuroTeX 2001,
+Kerkrade, 23--27 September 2001 <www.ntg.nl/eurotex/marvan-3.pdf>.
+
+Nath is a free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
+License <www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>.
+
+To install Nath, put the nath.sty file into the TeX input directory.
+A LaTeX 2.09 document may start like
+
+ \documentstyle[nath]{article}
+
+a LaTeX 2e document, like
+
+ \documentclass{article}
+ \usepackage{nath}
+
+Nath does not introduce any new fonts.
+
+Nath helps to prevent wasting human work on something that can be done by
+computer.
+In particular, delimiters adapt their size to the material enclosed,
+(rendering \left and \right almost obsolete), no matter how many \\'s
+intervene.
+Depending on the context, the command \frac produces either built-up or
+case or solidus fractions, with parentheses added whenever required for
+preservation of the mathematical meaning.
+
+Nath is provided as it is; only bug reports and serious discussion should go
+to <M.Marvan@math.slu.cz>.
+On average, LaTeX runs about three times slower with Nath than
+without it, depending on the complexity of math formulas.
+
+The new release dated 11 February 2003 brings mainly several bug fixes
+and introduces a new bug (sorry).
+The new bug corrected 21 March 2003.
