+Package `xcolor' by Dr. Uwe Kern
+(xcolor at ukern dot de)
+
+v2.12 (2016/05/11)
+
+`xcolor' provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of
+colors, tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors by means of
+color expressions like \color{red!50!green!20!blue}.
+It allows to select a document-wide target color model and offers tools
+for automatic color schemes, conversion between nine color models,
+alternating table row colors, color blending and masking, color
+separation, and color wheel calculations.
+
+Installation instructions
+=========================
+
+Extract all package files:
+ `latex xcolor.ins'
+
+Put the generated files to their respective locations
+within the TeX installation:
+ *.sty -> /tex/latex/xcolor/
+ *.def -> /tex/latex/xcolor/
+ *.pro -> /dvips/xcolor/
+
+Create the documentation:
+ `latex xcolor.dtx'
+ `latex xcolor.dtx'
+ `makeindex -s gind.ist xcolor.idx'
+ `latex xcolor.dtx'
+ `latex xcolor.dtx'
+
+Run the test files (N=1,2,...):
+ `latex xcolorN.tex'
+ `latex xcolorN.tex'
+
+Notes
+=====
+
+- `xcolor1.tex' should run with both LaTeX and pdfLaTeX, it yields a
+ 50-page document with several systematic color conversion examples
+- `xcolor2.tex' is a 3-page `pstricks' example document that won't run
+ with pdfLaTeX
+- `xcolor3.tex' is a 2-page example for demonstrating several display
+ and logging facilities
+- `xcolor4.tex' is a 1-page driver test file;
+ uncomment the relevant code line in the header and run it with the
+ appropriate program, e.g., `latex xcolor4' or any other processor;
+ apply any desired post-processing like dvips, dvipdfm, etc.
+- If the file `xcolor.ins' is missing, run `latex xcolor.dtx' once
+ and quit the LaTeX compiler as soon as the first error message
+ appears.
