+
+The NEEDSPACE package
+=====================
+
+Provides the \needspace and \Needspace macros for
+requesting a certain amount of space on the current
+page for the following material.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+Run `pdflatex` on needspace.tex to produce the files
+ needspace.ins and needspace.sty,
+as well as to compile the PDF documentation.
+
+Execute `tex needspace.ins` to produce the files above
+except needspace.ins itself (and the PDF file, obviously).
+
+
+CHANGE HISTORY
+--------------
+
+* v1.3c (2010/09/12):
+ Patch to improve behaviour with commands like `\section` that use
+ `\addvspace`. See [this thread][ctt] on comp.text.tex.
+
+[ctt]: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_frm/thread/8d849a1e0be2120e
+
+* v1.3b (2009/09/03):
+ New maintainer (Will Robertson)
+
+* v1.3a (2003/02/18):
+ At the suggestion of Donald Arseneau (private emails) changed guts of
+ \needspace from
+
+ ... \vskip\z@\@plus\dimen@\pagebreak[3]\vskip\z@\@plus-\dimen@\endgroup}
+
+* v1.3 (2003/02/07):
+ Added \Needspace (an extended version of postings by Donald Arseneau
+ to comp.text.tex e.g., in November 1993, August 1995, September 1997, ...)
+
+* v1.2 (2002/09/11):
+ At the suggestion of Robin Fairbairns, added use of \dimen@ to capture
+ the argument so that calc package commands can be used in the argument.

-\noindent
-Provides commands to reserve space at the bottom of a page. If there
-is not enough space on the current page (column) a new page (column)
-is started.

-\section{Example uses:}
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-... previous text.\par
-\needspace{5\baselineskip} % need next 5 lines on a single page/column
-The next five lines ...
-
-\Needspace*{4\baselineskip} % need 4 lines kept on same page
- The major principles are:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item ...
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The \cmd{\needspace} macro reserves an \emph{approximate} amount of space (depending
-on what penalties are in effect) but is efficient and normally adequate.
-A short page will be ragged bottom even if \cmd{\flushbottom} is in
-effect.
-
-\cmd{\Needspace} is less efficient but reserves the requested space. It
-should only be used between paragraphs. Short pages produced by
-\cmd{\Needspace}\marg{length} will be ragged bottom but short pages produced by
-\cmd{\Needspace*}\marg{length} will be flush bottom if \cmd{\flushbottom} is in effect.
