-This is the file `00readme.drp', which accompanies the `dropping'
-package distribution.  The package defines one command, `\dropping',
-which drops the first character(s) of a paragraph.  It is based on
-the `dropcaps.sty' file by Fred J. Lauwers.  `dropping' can be
-regarded as an automatization of `dropcaps'.  To obtain the userguide
-and documentation, run LaTeX on `dropping.dtx' after running LaTeX
-on `dropping.ins'. 
-
-
-The `dropping' package consists of two files:
-     dropping.ins   -  the installation driver
-     dropping.dtx   -  the macro code and  instructions on how to use
-                       the package, in `docstrip'-able format.
-Anyone is free to re-distribute these files provided the restrictions
-mentioned in 'dropping.ins' are obeyed.  These are mainly that the
-two files always must be distributed together and that noone is
-allowed to distribute the files for profit.

-%  This document describes the \textsf{dropping} package, which 
-%  defines a command, |\dropping|, to drop the first character(s) of 
-%  a paragraph.  It is based on Fred~J.\ Lauwers's 
-%  \texttt{dropcaps.sty}.  In short, \textsf{dropping} is an 
-%  automatization of |dropcaps| in that the user does not need to 
-%  know the internal name of the font file (the |.tfm|-file) but can 
-%  control this via the ordinary \LaTeXe{} commands `|\rmfamily|' 
-%  \textit{etc.}

-%   
-%  \section{Introduction} 
-%  \textsf{dropping} is a \LaTeX{} package which makes it easy to 
-%  start a new paragraph with a dropped letter or letters.  The lines 
-%  following the dropped letter are indented so no over-writing is to 
-%  occur.  
-%   
-%  This userguide is also available in \texttt{.pdf}-format 
-%  on the internet.  It is found from my \LaTeX\ web page: 
-%  \texttt{http://www.homenet.se/matsd/latex/}
-%    
-%  \section{Userguide} 
-%  \subsection{Requirements} 
-%  The file |dropping.sty| must be available in the user's 
-%  |TEXINPUTS| directories. 
-%  It requires \LaTeXe{} of 1996/12/01 (or newer).  
-%  \textsf{dropping} works best with |dvips| and |MakeTeXPK| 
-%  installed, although not formally needed.  Without these, the 
-%  output may not be as good as expected.  
-%  
-%  \textsf{dropping} v.\fileversion{} has been tested using 
-%  MiK\TeX{} 1.07, including \LaTeXe{} of 1997/06/01 
-%  and \TeX{} 3.14159, under Win95.  Only change relative previous 
-%  version is a bug/typo fix.  
-% 
-%  \subsection{Usage} 
-%  The package is included by stating\\ 
-%  |  \usepackage{dropping}| \\ 
-%  In the document preamble.  The package recognizes the same 
-%  options as the \textsf{graphics} package v.1.0 (1996/05/29) by 
-%  D.~P.\ Carlisle and S.~P.~Q.\ Rahtz. Which is used is assumed to 
-%  be controlled via the existence of a 
-%  |graphics.cfg| file in the \LaTeX{} installation.  
-%  
-%   \newpage
-%  \subsection{Commands}         
-%   
-%  \DescribeMacro{\dropping}
-%  The command |\dropping| is the main feature of the package.  This 
-%  command takes two mandatory and one optional argument:\\
-%  |  \dropping[|\textit{len}|]{|\textit{numb}|}{|\textit{text}|}|\\
-%  The \textit{len} argument is a \LaTeX{} length (with unit) which 
-%  states how far from the left margin the dropped text should start.  
-%  A positive number corresponds to an indentation rightwards, a 
-%  negative number will force the dropped text to start to the left 
-%  of the paragraph.  The default value is |0pt|, meaning the dropped 
-%  text will be aligned with the rest of the paragraph.  The 
-%  mandatory \textit{numb} argument should be an integer number which 
-%  states how many lines tall the dropped text should be.  The last 
-%  argument, \textit{text}, is the text which should be dropped.  
-%  This argument may either be a single letter or several letters 
-%  without any formatting information, or the argument may start with 
-%  a font-changing command of the type |\rmfamily|.  In the former 
-%  case, there are no special things to think about, and the dropped 
-%  text will be type-set in the document's default font.  However, if 
-%  a font-changing command is used, there are two things to be aware 
-%  of:  \textbf{1.} You can only use the font-changing commands 
-%  |\rmfamily|, |\sffamily|, |\ttfamily|, |\mdseries|, |\bfseries|, 
-%  |\upshape|, |\itshape|, |\slshape|, or |\scshape| (\textit{i.~e.}
-%  \emph{not} the |\text|\textit{xx} commands).  \textbf{2.} The 
-%  font-changing command(s) must be followed by a pair of braces, |{}|, 
-%  and a blank space 
-%  for the internal stripping routines to work.  Several 
-%  font-changing commands may be used in series.  Thus, both 
-%  |{This}|, |{\bfseries{} this}|, and |{\ttfamily\itshape{} this}| 
-%  are examples of valid \textit{text} arguments to |\dropping|.  
-%  Note that the construct
-%  |\textit{\dropping[|\textit{len}|]{|\textit{numb}|}{|\textit{text}|}}|
-%  does \emph{not} work properly. 
-%  
-%  \DescribeMacro{\bigdrop}
-%  Fred~J.~Lauwers's command |\bigdrop| is also available if the 
-%  \textsf{dropping} package is loaded.  It has exactly the same 
-%  syntax as if \textsf{dropcaps} is loaded, that is:\\
-%  |  \bigdrop{|\textit{len}|}{|\textit{numb}|}{|\textit{font}|}{|\textit{text}|}|\\
-%  where the arguments \textit{len} and \textit{numb} are exactly the 
-%  same as for |\dropping| (in fact, these two arguments are passed 
-%  directly from |\dropping| to |\bigdrop|).  The \textit{font} 
-%  argument is the internal font name to be used for the dropped 
-%  text, \textit{i.~e.\ } the |.tfm|-file name (|cmsl10| is an example 
-%  of a valid \textit{font} argument).  The fourth argument, 
-%  \textit{text}, is the text to be dropped (only plain text is valid 
-%  here!).  For further details, please see the \textsf{dropcaps} 
-%  documentation.
-%  
-%  \section{Examples}
-%  
-%  \dropping{3}{\itshape{} This}section gives some simple examples 
-%  of the use of \textsf{dropping}.  As a first example, this very 
-%  paragraph was started by stating the command\linebreak 
-%  `|\dropping{3}{\itshape{} This}|' 
-%  in the beginning.  Notice the braces (`|{}|') and the space before 
-%  `This'!  
-%  
-%  \dropping[-6pt]{2}{\slshape\sffamily{} I}n addition, this 
-%  paragraph gives an example where the optional first argument of 
-%  |\dropping| is used.  The paragraph was started by 
-%  `|\dropping[-6pt]{2}{\slshape\sffamily{} I}n|', and as you 
-%  (hopefully!) can see, it works fine to have several font-changing 
-%  commands in one |\dropping| command.  
-%  
-%  \dropping{4}{T}he third example is an example where the default 
-%  document font is being used.  By now, you probably have figured 
-%  out that this paragraph is started with `|\dropping{4}{T}he|'.  For 
-%  you to see the full effect of the dropping, there has to be at 
-%  least four complete lines in the paragraph, and so this text 
-%  with not so much to say the \LaTeX{} user is going on and 
-%  on and on and on and on and on\ldots  
-%   
-%  \section{Known Problems}  
-%  
-%  \begin{itemize}
-%  \item 
-%  If |\dropping| is used to start a paragraph which itself 
-%  starts close to the bottom of a page, the 
-%  dropped text will hang down into the footer and give a rather weird 
-%  impression.  Avoid this by some (unfortunately manual) 
-%  page-breaking.  
-%  \item
-%  Really large (more than two lines tall) dropped text is not 
-%  very beautiful unless the |graphics.cfg| files specifies |dvips| 
-%  as the default graphics' driver (or an option which in turn 
-%  calls the |dvips| option).
-%  \end{itemize}
-%  
-%  \section{Acknowledgements}
-%  
-%  First and most of all, I want to acknowledge Fred~J.\ Lauwers for 
-%  providing the \textsf{dropcaps} package and letting me use the 
-%  code thereof (according to the copyright notice in the 
-%  |dropcaps.sty| file; see also |dropping.ins|).  
-%  \textsf{dropping} would of course not be 
-%  what it is today without Fred's work.  (Unfortunately, I do not 
-%  have any current e-mail address of Fred's.)  
-%  
-%  I also want to thank Donald Arsenau (|asnd@reg.triumf.ca|)
-%  and Robin Fairbairns\linebreak (|Robin.Fairbairns@cl.cam.ac.uk|) for 
-%  answering my question to |comp.text.tex| about conditional 
-%  stripping of strings, as well as Piet van Oostrum (|piet@cs.ruu.nl|) 
-%  and Alain Ketterlin (|alain@ia1.u-strasbg.fr|) for 
-%  answering my ``splitting of a string'' question.  
-%  
-%  \section{Sending a Bug Report}
-%  \textsf{dropping} is likely to contain bugs.  Although, I do 
-%  not consider this to be a ``supported'' package, 
-%  reports of bugs in the package are most welcome.  
-%  Before filing a bug report,
-%  please take the following actions:
-%  \begin{enumerate}
-%  \item Ensure your problem is not due to your own input file, 
-%     package(s), or class(es);
-%  \item Ensure your problem is not covered in the section 
-%     ``Known Problems'' above;
-%  \item  Try to locate the problem by writing a minimal 
-%     \LaTeX{} input file which reproduces the problem.  
-%     Include the command\\ 
-%     |  \setcounter{errorcontextlines}{999}|\\ 
-%     in your input;
-%  \item Run your file through \LaTeX ;
-%  \item Send a description of your problem, the input file 
-%     and the log file via e-mail to:\\
-%     \hspace*{5mm} \texttt{matsd@sssk.se}.

-%  \section{The Code} 
-%  For the interested reader(s), here is a short description 
-%  of the code. 
-% \iffalse
-%<*paketkod>
-% \fi
-%  First, the package is to identify itself:  
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1995/12/01]
-\ProvidesPackage{dropping}[1997/06/12 v.0.12]
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  Then, some counters, dimensions and a boolean are set:
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\newcount\bigscale
-\newcount\down
-\newdimen\saveunitlength
-\newdimen\wantedheight
-\newif\ifstrtcmmnd \strtcmmndfalse
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  
-%  The differences between the different graphics' drivers are taken 
-%  care of by means of options to the package.  First, the |dvips| 
-%  option is declared (code greatefully taken from |dropcaps.sty|).
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\DeclareOption{dvips}{%
-\newcount\wantedcount
-\newcount\actualcount%
-\newdimen\actualheight%
-\def\findsize#1#2{%
-\bigscale=1000%
-\font\BIG=#1 scaled \bigscale%
-\setbox0=\hbox{\BIG #2\/}%
-\actualheight=\ht0%
-\wantedcount=\wantedheight \actualcount=\actualheight%
-\advance\actualcount by 50%
-\divide\actualcount by 100%
-\multiply\wantedcount by 10%
-\divide\wantedcount by \actualcount%
-\font\BIG=#1 scaled \wantedcount%
-\setbox0=\hbox{\BIG #2\/}%
-\bigscale=\wantedcount}}
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  Next, the ``non-|dvips|-users'{}'' code from |dropcaps.sty| is 
-%  declared to be an option, ``|other|'':
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\DeclareOption{other}{%
-\def\nextmagstep#1#2#3{%
-\bigscale=#3%
-\font\BIG=#1 scaled \bigscale%
-\setbox0=\hbox{\BIG #2\/}}%
-\def\findsize#1#2{%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep0}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstephalf}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep1}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep2}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep3}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep4}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep5}%
-\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi}}
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  Following this, the various other graphics' drivers as recognized 
-%  by the \textsf{graphics} package are declared.  The |xdvi| option 
-%  just calls |dvips| (as in \textsf{graphics}), and so does the 
-%  |oztex| option\footnote{Thanks to Johan Fr\"oberg 
-%  (\texttt{emgion@physchem.kth.se}) for testing \textsf{dropping} on 
-%  his Macintosh.}  (a recent release of Oz\TeX{} contains a 
-%  |graphics.cfg| which calls the |dvips|-option of 
-%  \textsf{graphics}).  All other options  
-%  call the |other| option.  \textbf{Note} if some user(s) find that
-%  an option should use |dvips| instead of |other|, please feel free
-%  to change in your local |dropping.sty| file as long as you also
-%  inform me (via e-mail to |matsd@sssk.se|) of the
-%  appropriate change! 
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\DeclareOption{xdvi}{\ExecuteOptions{dvips}}
-\DeclareOption{dvipsone}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dviwindo}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{emtex}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dviwin}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{oztex}{\ExecuteOptions{dvips}}
-\DeclareOption{textures}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pctexps}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pctexwin}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pctexhp}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvi2ps}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvialw}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvilaser}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvitops}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{psprint}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pubps}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{ln}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption*{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  Now it is time to load the |graphics.cfg| file, and if it is not 
-%  found send a warning to the user and assume |dvips| is 
-%  around\ldots{}  Then in order to free some memory, any remaining
-%  option is processed.
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\InputIfFileExists{graphics.cfg}{}{%
-\PackageWarningNoLine{dropping}{%
-You have no `graphics.cfg' file installed.\MessageBreak 
-I will assume you are using `dvips'}
-\ExecuteOptions{dvips}}
-\ProcessOptions
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  
-%  \DescribeMacro{\bigdrop}
-%  Next follows Fred~J.\ Lauwers's original command |\bigdrop| except 
-%  that the |\typeout| statements have been removed.
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\def\bigdrop#1#2#3#4{%
-\saveunitlength=\unitlength%
-\unitlength=\baselineskip%
-\setbox1=\hbox{\the\font I}%
-\wantedheight=#2\baselineskip \advance\wantedheight by -\baselineskip%
-\advance\wantedheight by \ht1% 
-\findsize{#3}{#4}%
-\hangindent=\wd0 \advance\hangindent by #1%
-\hangafter=-#2%
-\ifdim\dp0>0.25\baselineskip% 
- \loop\ifdim\dp0>\baselineskip
-  \advance\baselineskip by \baselineskip
-  \advance\hangafter by -1
- \repeat
- \advance\hangafter by -1
- \baselineskip=\unitlength
-\fi%
-\noindent%
-\down=-#2 \advance\down by 1%
-\begin{picture}(0,0)%
-\put(0,\down){\makebox(0,0)[br]{\box0}}%
-\end{picture}%
-\unitlength=\saveunitlength}
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  Now we define some internal macros to be able to automize the use 
-%  of |\bigdrop|.  (Thanks to Donald Arsenau, Robin Fairbairns, Piet van 
-%  Oostrum, and Alain Ketterlin!)
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\def\spltatspc#1 #2\spltatspc{#1}
-\def\spltstrng#1{\expandafter\@split#1\end}
-\def\@split#1 #2\end{\def\strngn{#1}\def\strngtw{#2}}
-\def\isit#1{\expandafter\@isit\string#1\@null}
-\def\@isit#1#2\@null{%
-  \ifnum`#1=`\\
-    \global\strtcmmndtrue
-  \else
-    \global\strtcmmndfalse
-  \fi
-}
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  
-%  \DescribeMacro{\dropping}
-%  Finally, the macro |\dropping| is defined:
-%    \begin{macrocode} 
-\newcommand{\dropping}[3][0pt]{%
-\get@external@font%
-\edef\n@vf@nt{\expandafter\spltatspc\external@font \spltatspc}%
-\setbox8=\hbox{#3\get@external@font%
-\global\let\external@font@export\external@font%
-\edef\n@vf@ntb@x{\expandafter\spltatspc\external@font \spltatspc}%
-\global\let\n@vf@nt\n@vf@ntb@x}%  
-\let\external@font\external@font@export%
-\edef\xprt@rgtr{\expandafter\spltatspc\external@font\expandafter{} 
-\spltatspc}
-\def\spltslsk{#3}%
-\isit{#3}%
-\ifstrtcmmnd
-\spltstrng\spltslsk%
-\let\xprt@rgfr\strngtw
-\else
-\def\xprt@rgfr{#3}
-\fi
-\protect\bigdrop{#1}{#2}{\xprt@rgtr}{\xprt@rgfr}%
-}
-%    \end{macrocode}
-%  This brings us to the end of \textsf{dropping}.  Hope you'll
