+This accompanies the teubner bundle version 4.x dated November 2015 or later.
+
+Copyright 2010-2016 Claudio Beccari
+
+The bundle contains the files
+
+README this file
+teubner.txt a more descriptive file
+teubner.dtx the self extracting documented TeX source file
+teubner-doc.tex an extended documentation file
+teubner.pdf general and technical documentation
+teubner-doc.pdf specific documentation with examples
+
+The bundle is distributed under the LPPL license version 1.3c or any later version.
+
+The bundle has the status of author maintained.
+
+The main purpose of this bundle is to provide classical philologists with some
+means for typesetting their documents that usually contain very specific mark up.
+This version allows the typesetter to use both "italic" shapes: the Olga-like
+and the Lipsian-like ones; it complies with the LICR (LaTeX Internal Character
+Representation) of the Greek glyphs that avoid the kerning problems that arise
+with the ligature mechanism embedded in the LGR encoded default CBfonts; it is
+compatible with the use of different vector Latin Type 1 fonts;
+contains new designs for the horizontally stretchable markers, et cetera.
+
+Running pdflatex on the .dtx file produces both the documentation and
+extracts the byproduct files teubner.sty, teubnertx.sty, teubner.pdf.
+The readable extended documentation file teubner-doc.pdf is obtained by running
+pdflatex on the teubner-doc.tex file.
+
+Moreover this teubner package generates on the fly the font description files
+necessary to use the LGR encoded Greek fonts with some non standard TeX
+PostScript fonts; for example, it automatically generates the necessary files if using
+the TX or the PX fonts; with other Type 1 fonts the necessary .fd files require
+manual intervention, which simply means giving a suitable command from within another
+open file that loads teubner.
+
+Please, be sure to work with a 2010 updated collection of the CBfonts; with a 2014
+updated version of the TeX system; with a babel version 3.9g or later; with the
+language description file greek.ldf version 1.9b or later. The teubner package works also with previous versions of the above pieces of software, but with limited performances.
