+Here you find Daniel Taupin's MusicTeX a TeX-based system to typeset music.
+
+The package consists of three parts.
+
+- the TeX-macros, -font descriptions, -fonts for 300dpi printers, font-
+ definitions and the documentation as zip-file musictex.zip or as com-
+ pressed tar-file musictex-nnn.tar.gz if nnn is the version number.
+
+ Older versions are available too as zip-files named musictex.nnn, as well
+ as zip-files containing only the differences between older versions named
+ musictex.iii-nnn.zip (for the step from version iii to version nnn).
+ Because some people don't bother about bandwidth and simply use "mget *"
+ I've moved older versions to the directory older-versions and diff-files
+ to the directory diff-files. I hope that it is not neccessary to put zip-
+ and tar-files into different directories to make it not so easy to fetch
+ more than one needs.
+
+ If you want to use these diff-files you may have to rename them either
+ when ftp'ing them or when unzip'ing them. The diff-files do not contain
+ the dvi-file of the documention, because this may be produced by yourself
+ from the source musicdoc.tex, which is contained if it has been changed.
+
+- some examples, compositions and arrangements by Daniel Taupin named either
+ musicexa.zip or musicexa-nnn.tar.gz
+ Version handling and diff-files follow the same rules as for musictex.
+
+- fonts, font-metrics, ... for (some) other resolutions than 300 dpi
+ in musicpk.zip or musicpk-nnn.tar.gz
+
+The base material (the zip-files) is copied from Daniel Taupins ftp-server
+at hprib.lps.u-psud.fr. The tar- and diff-files are generated by me.
+
+There is a mailing-list for discussions about MusicTeX (and MuTeX). To
+subscribe to this list send a mail to mutex-request@gmd.de contain-
+ing the word subscribe in the body of the mail.
+
+The directory software (only at ftp.gmd.de) points at some software on
+top of MusicTeX like abc2mtex or midi2tex.
