+
+
+ The `fancyvrb' package provides very sophisticated facilities for reading
+and writing verbatim TeX code. Users can perform common tasks like changing
+font family and size, numbering lines, framing code examples, colouring text
+and conditionally processing text.
+
+ `fancyvrb' was heavily used in the typesetting of the "LaTeX Graphics
+Companion", by Michel Goossens, Sebastian Rahtz and Frank Mittelbach, Addison
+Wesley, 1997.
+
+ It was presented March 31, 1998 for EuroTeX'98. The original paper is
+available on (courtesy "Cahiers GUTenberg"):
+http://www.univ-rennes1.fr/pub/GUTenberg/publicationsPS/28-29-girou.ps.gz
+The description part of `fancyvrb' is not up to date (it was the content
+of the version 2.5) but the additional paragraph about it usage to the
+typesetting of the "LaTeX Graphics Companion" provide in depth informations
+on some usages of `fancyvrb' not described elsewhere.
+
+ The "contrib" subdirectory contain the `fvrb-ex' package (from Denis Girou),
+built above `fancyvrb', which offer some "example" environments showing both
+the code in verbatim mode and the result of it normally formatted.
+
+ Warning!
+ --------
+
+ * Support is provided by Denis Girou and Sebastian Rahtz and not by
+Timothy Van Zandt. Do not bother him with questions relative to `fancyvrb'!
+
+ * The standard `color' package must be available, with a correct "color.cfg"
+file defining the dvi converter that must be used.
+
+ * If the `changebar' package is available on your platform, the changes
+since the preceding version will be marked by special gray bars printed
+in the margins. But the driver name must be hardcoded in the file.
+So, if you have `changebar' and are not using the "dvips" driver, change this
+name in the line
+ {\ChangeBartrue\usepackage[dvips,rightbars]{changebar}}{}
+in fancyvrb.dtx (the other drivers supported by this package are "dvitoln03",
+"dvitops" and "emtex").
+ If you really need to desactivate this feature (it must not be the case,
+as there will be no effect if you haven't `changebar', and, if you have it,
+it must work on your platform...) just change the two relevant lines to:
+\IfFileExists{changebar.sty}{}{}
