+proto10.afm
+proto10.pfb
+proto10.tfm
+
+    To install the package:
+o run: latex protosem.ins, which will generate:
+       protosem.sty
+       *.fd files
+       proto10.map
+o Move the *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them 
+    e.g. .../texmf-local/tex/latex/protosem
+o Move the *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files where LaTeX looks for font information
+    e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/archaic/*.afm
+          .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/archaic/*.pfb
+          .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/archaic/*.tfm
+o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex psfont maps
+o Refresh the database
+  (for more information on the above see the FAQ).
+
+o run: latex tryprotosem for a test of the Proto-Semitic font
+
+    To generate a second copy of the manual (which is already supplied as a PDF file):
+o run: latex protosem.dtx
+o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist protosem.idx)
+o run: latex protosem.dtx
+o Print protosem.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual
