+INTRODUCTION
+============
+
+The package \textsf{ordinalpt} provides a counter style (like
++\arabic+, +\alph+ and others) but that produces as output strings
+like ``primeiro'' (first in Portuguese), ``segundo'' (second),
+``terceiro'' (third), \ldots, up to ``mil\'esimo noningent\'esimo
+nonag\'esimo nono'' (1999$^{\text{th}}$).  There are counter commands
+to output the text in UPPERCASE, Capitalized or in lowercase, with
+masculine or feminine gender.
+
+USER COMMANDS
+=============
+
+\ordptmasc{counter} --> ordinals in lowercase masculine
+\Ordptmasc{counter} --> ordinals in capitalized masculine
+\ORDPTMASC{counter} --> ordinals in uppercase masculine
+\ordptfem{counter}  --> ordinals in lowercase feminine
+\Ordptfem{counter}  --> ordinals in capitalized feminine
+\ORDPTFEM{counter}  --> ordinals in uppercase feminine
+
+PACKAGE OPTIONS
+===============
+
+In Portuguese, both 
+  tricent\'esimo and trecent\'esimo (for 300th)
+  sexcent\'esimo and seiscent\'esimo (for 600th)
+  noningent\'esimo and nongent\'esimo (for 900th)
+are correct forms for ordinals.
+
+So there are the options 
+  tricentesimo (default)
+  trecentesimo
+  sexcentesimo (default)
+  seiscentesimo
+  noningentesimo (default)
+  nongentesimo
+that switch to the respective forms when counters have values 300, 600
+or 900, respectively.
