+ NOTE: The full User Manual (memman.pdf) is a large document approaching
+600 pages in total. You do not need to print all of it, especially if you
+already have an earlier edition. Roughly speaking, the main portions are:
+o Frontmatter: Preface, Toc, Introduction, Terminology ~ 35 pages
+o Mainmatter:
+ Design and typography ~ 60 pages
+ Class commands and environments, etc. ~ 335 pages
+o Appendices: (La)Tex programming, Errors and warnings ~ 40 pages
+o Backmatter:
+ Command glossary ~ 40 pages
+ Bibliography, indexes ~ 50 pages

+ sizes and provision of several styles of section headings.
+o User Manual (memman), edition 7 released incorporating the contents of the
+ Addendum. The part on typography has been extended and a glossary of memoir's
+ commands and environments has been added.
+o New (empty) version of mempatch.sty.
+
+ This will be the last release for a considerable period of time. After 25
+years in the USA we are moving back to the UK where there are grandchildren.
+The process will probably involve at least 6 months in LaTeX limbo.
