Several other + common encodings are also supported. + + The package is available in packed form as "arabtex.zip" and + "arabtex.tgz". Depending on the server there may be also the + unpacked files; check for the latest version of "apatch.sty"! + + The following ASCII files give more detailed information: + + arabtex.doc : a short introduction (rather out of date) + arabtex.faq : answers to some Frequently Asked Questions + (updated as necessary) + changes.txt : release history, new features, and known bugs + (updated as necessary) + changes2.txt : older release history up to version 3.00 + install.txt : list of available files, and installation notes + apatch.sty : last minute corrections; put this file onto the + TEXINPUT path; it will patch automatically. + (updated as necessary) + + There are also various additional documentation files. + A subdirectory "REPORT", if still present, is OBSOLETE. + + There was a prototype, ArabTeX Version 1, which is now OBSOLETE. + Version 2 was the first complete release accompanied by a manual, + but is no more being maintained. + + Version 3 is an upward compatible extension of Version 2 with + many new features, e.g. the possibility to read input files in the + ASMO 449, ISO 8859-6, and UTF-8 Codes, and many new commands for + better formatting of Arabic text, or catering for historic writing + styles. Versions from 3.05 onward contain a package to process + Hebrew, and provide long right-to-left insertions. For details, + consult the manual and the ASCII file "readme.305". + + ArabTeX is copyrighted by the author.
