+
+This is the mathdots package, version 0.8.
+
+This package changes the basic LaTeX and plain TeX commands \ddots and
+\vdots so that they properly change size when font sizes change, and
+when they are used in superscripts and subscripts. It also adds the
+command \iddots ()for inverse diagonal dots) which slants the opposite
+way from \ddots.
+
+In addition, if it detects AMSLaTeX (or AMSTeX in plain TeX) it defines
+improved versions of the \dddot and \ddddot commands that place three
+and four dots on a math symbol (similar to the math accent commands \dot
+and \ddot). These also are arranged to change size correctly and some
+placement bugs are corrected.
+
+Other (minor) improvements: the commands \vdots, \ddots and \iddots
+select the dot from the math fonts instead of the text fonts, so they
+always match math punctuation dots. The \dddot and \ddddot commands
+select the accent dot (same one placed by \dot).
