+gcard.sty provides a simple LaTeX2e package for producing greeting cards.
+It arranges four panels onto a single sheet (typically, A4 or letter)
+so that when the sheet is folded twice the four panels are 
+arranged as front cover, inside left and right pages, and back
+cover.  It uses the textpos package for placement on the sheet
+and the graphicx package for the necessary rotation. The four
+panels are set in minipages for formatting by the user.
+
+The package is distributed under the LaTeX Public Project License.

+% Here, edge and gutter are set the same, as are top and bottom; that's
+% not required, and it's okay to use 4 different values.
