+    The uncial and alluncl packages provide Meatfont fonts based on 
+the Uncial manuscript book-hand used between the 3rd and 6th century AD. 
+The font consists of minuscules and digits, with some appropriate 
+period punctuation marks. Both normal and bold versions are provided. 
+This is one in a series of manuscript fonts.
+
+    Access to the docmfp package is desireable but not essential.
+
+    The distribution consists of the following files:
+README (this file)
+uncial.ins
+uncial.dtx
+tryfont.tex
+allfont.tex
+
+    The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX
+Project Public License (LPPL).
+
+To install the package:
+=======================
+
+o run: latex uncial.ins, which will generate:
+       uncl*.mf files
+       *.fd files
+       uncial.sty
+       alluncl.sty
+o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them.
+    For example: the uncl*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/uncial
+                 the *.fd and *.sty files to /texmf/tex/latex/local/uncial
+
+    On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add lines like the 
+    following to texmf/fontname/special.map:
+      uncl7.mf        public    uncial
+      uncl10.mf       public    uncial
+      uncl17.mf       public    uncial
+      unclb7.mf       public    uncial
+      unclb10.mf      public    uncial
+      unclb17.mf      public    uncial
+    On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files.
+
+    (I use a teTeX distribution and found that if I didn't add to the special.map
+     file, then the generated tfm and pk files were put in directories corresponding
+     to the URW New Century Schoolbook font.) 
+
+    Other LaTeX distributions might require procedures similar to those for teTeX.
+
+To typeset the documentation:
+=============================
+
+o run: latex uncial.dtx
+o if you want an index then run: makeindex -s gind.ist uncial
+o run: latex uncial.dtx
+o Print uncial.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual 
+
+    Note that the docmfp package is normally required for LaTeXing uncial.dtx.
+The package is available from CTAN in tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported.
+If you haven't got this and don't want to get it, then there are instructions
+in the first part of the .dtx file about how to edit it to avoid the use of docmfp.
+(docmfp is an extension of the doc package for describing METAFONT, or other
+non-LaTeX, code.)
+
+
+To check out your installation:
+===============================
+
+o run: latex tryfont  for a testpage of the Uncial fonts
+o run: latex allfont  for a document typeset with the Uncial fonts
