+This is the README for the `ssqquote' package by Ulrik Vieth.
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+The `ssqquote' package provides a font definition file and
+a little package file for LaTeX2e to access the cmssq fonts,
+i.e. Computer Modern Sans Serif Quotation Style, in terms of NFSS.
+Once you have installed the font definition files provided in
+this package, it is possible to access the logo fonts using
+NFSS-commands, even if you do not want to use the package file
+provided here.
+
+The package file will define font changing commands \ssqfamily
+and \textssq as well as a `chapterquotes' environment that uses
+the cmssq fonts. This environment is losely based on ideas used
+in the \endchapter macro of the manmac format from The TeXbook.
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS:
+It is assumed that you have the fonts cmssq8.mf and cmssqi8.mf.
+Since they are part of the 75 standard Computer Modern Fonts,
+they should be available in a every TeX installation.
+If you want to use the DC-version of these fonts, you need to
+have version 1.1 of the DC-fonts and you need to edit the file
+dcstdedt.tex so that dcssq8.mf and dcssqi8.mf will be generated.
+
+To typeset the documentation, you also need the `mflogo' package
+by the same author, which should be located in the directory
+/macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/mflogo (or simply ../mflogo).
+
+
+CONTENTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION:
+This distribution consists of the following files that should be
+located in the directory /macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/ssqquote:
+
+ssqquote.readme - this README file
+ssqquote.ins - installation script for LaTeX2e
+ssqquote.dtx - documented sources for LaTeX2e
+
+Running the installation script ssqquote.ins through LaTeX2e will
+produce the following files:
+
+OT1cmssq.fd - font definition file for LaTeX2e
+T1cmssq.fd - font definition file for LaTeX2e
+ssqquote.sty - example package file for LaTeX2e
+ssqquote.drv - documentation driver for LaTeX2e
+
+
+INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
+
+1. Check that the METAFONT inputs directory of your TeX installation
+ contains the files cmssq8.mf and cmssqi8.mf. This should normally
+ be the case. If not, retrieve the files from /systems/knuth/cm,
+ install them in you METAFONT inputs directory and generate them
+ by running them through METAFONT.
+
+2. If you want to use the DC-version of these fonts, check that
+ you've got version 1.1 of the DC-fonts available from /fonts/dc.
+ Before you install them, edit the file dcstdedt.tex and
+ uncomment the lines to produce the fonts dcssq and dcssqi.
+
+3. Now, after you have installed and/or updated the required fonts,
+ you can run the installation script ssqquote.ins through LaTeX2e.
+
+4. Finally, install the font definition files OT1cmssq.fd and
+ T1cmssq.fd as well as the package file ssqquote.sty in your
+ LaTeX2e inputs directory.
+
+5. If you want to typeset the documentation, run the documentation
+ driver ssqquote.drv through LaTeX2e. This requires the `mflogo'
+ package available from /macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/mflogo.
+
+
+LEGALESE:
+The standard disclaimers and restrictions for LaTeX2e also apply
+for this package. In particular, you are not allowed to distribute
+generated files produced from this package without the accompanying
+documentation. However, you are free to incorporate the code for
+the font changing commands from the example package file in your
+own packages if you only want to use the font defintion file from
+this package.
+
+This package is supported. Send bug reports or questions and comments
+to the author's e-mail address given below. Please note that the
+LaTeX3 Project Team is *not* responsible for this contributed package.
