+LJour1 1.0: LaTeX style file for journals with one column layout
+read-me file
+ (c) Springer-Verlag HD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+The package comes with the following files
+
+read.me General information on the package
+cljour1.ini .ini file for a format file using
+ CM fonts
+pljour1.ini .ini file for a format file using
+ PS fonts
+flplain.tex Macro file
+ljour1.mac Macro file
+fontdef.tex Font definitions (NFSS)
+preload.tex Copy of preload.min (NFSS)
+xxxlfont.sty Copy of oldlfont.sty (NFSS)
+amsfont.sty Macro file defining AMS fonts
+amssymb.sty Style option defining AMS symbols
+ljour1.doc LaTeX source of the user's guide
+ljour1.ref ``Reference card" listing all commands available
+*.dem Various demo files for different journals
+
+In addition, the following files have to be present on your system:
+- latex.tex as of March 25, 1992 or later
+- lplain.tex
+- art10.tex
+- article.tex
+- hyphen.tex or another hyphenation file
+- the New Font Selection Scheme (NFSS). If you don't have this set of
+ files, you can get it from any TeX file server or from
+ Springer-Verlag, NTP department on request.
+
+Using LJour1
+------------
+Please read the following instructions before starting to work with the
+macropackage.
+
+Why format files?
+-----------------
+As our macro package requires a lot of fonts in addition to those
+preloaded by LaTeX, it will normally not work if used via the
+\documentstyle statement. It is therefore necessary to create a new
+so-called format file with our package. This is done by submitting a set
+of macro definitions to a program called initex. This program processes
+the definitions, the font specifications, and the original LaTeX macros
+and stores all of them in "compiled" form in a format file. This process
+does not produce any output, in the way that an ordinary run of TeX
+does, but speeds things up for all subsequent runs you make, using LaTeX
+in combination with our macros and font selection.
+
+Creating the format file
+------------------------
+1. Create a directory called ljour1 and copy all files from the package
+except the style options into this directory. The style option file has
+to be transfered into a directory that TeX searches for input files.
+
+2. Decide for which language you want to create a format file and, for a
+language other than English, edit the file cljour1.ini or pljour1.ini so
+that it includes the correct hyphenation patterns. Ask your TeXpert for
+the correct file name or consult the documentation of your TeX
+implementation. English hyphenation patterns are the default setting.
+
+3. Make sure that all fonts required are on your hard disk. If
+necessary, install the NFSS and any fonts that are missing.
+
+4. Before creating a PS format file, check and if necessary correct the
+names of the PS fonts in the file fontdef.tex.
+
+5. Run initex with the file cljour1.ini or pljour1.ini. The exact syntax
+of this command depends on the implementation. If necessary increase the
+amount of font and/or main memory allocated by TeX.
+
+After initex has successfully completed its task, you will have a format
+file called cljour1.fmt if you requested CM fonts and pljour1.fmt if you
+requested PS fonts.
+
+6. You will want to create both a CM and a PS format file, the first for
+previewing and the second for the final run.
+
+7. After you have completed both format files you can remove the
+following files from your hard disk:
+ pljour1.ini, cljour1.ini, ljour1.mac, flplain.tex fontdef.tex,
+ preload.tex, xxxlfont.sty, amsfont.sty.
+
+Installing the fonts
+--------------------
+For DOS installations you can have the program finstall (to be
+found on the AMS fonts diskettes only, not in the macro package
+itself) install the AMS fonts for you. In all other cases you must copy
+the files from diskettes into the appropriate directories yourself.
+
+Do not forget that, in general, the printer or screen driver must be
+instructed how to find the additional pixel files. Most of the drivers
+have a configuration file that contains the names of the fonts available
+to the printer. The names of these fonts have to be added to this file.
+Please refer to your driver manual. The names normally given to the
+pixel files by the installation program are
+ \pctex\pixel\pk<nnn>\<fontname>.pk,
+where <nnn> is a three-digit number indicating the size of the font.
+
+Printing the User's Guide
+-------------------------
+Now you are ready to print the User's Guide. TeX it using your format
+file by issuing the command
+
+ tex &cljour1 ljour1.doc
+
+Ordering the macro package from the mailserver
+----------------------------------------------
+This macro package is available via mailserver. To obtain a copy,
+send an e-mail message to
+
+ svserv@vax.ntp.springer.de
+
+containing the line
+
+ send /tex/latex/ljour1.zip
