+pfarrei - A bundle of executables, LaTeX documents and packages for pastors
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Maintainer: Unmaintained
+E-Mail: -
+Abstract: In "Die TeXnische Komödie" 1/2013 Christian Justen told
+ about his practise using LaTeX at his work as pastor. One
+ point was to arrange A5 papers onto A4 landscape paper
+ either side-by-side or as a booklet. He made two bash
+ scripts for this. `pfarrei' provides one texlua script for
+ the same.
+ Other points would be, e.g, special limitations of the
+ page break. `pfarrei' provides LaTeX commands and
+ environments to help for that too.
+Requires: LaTeX2e, ifpdf, pdfpages, TeXLua
+License: LPPL 1.3c or later
+State: Unmaintained
+Topics: compact output, typically multiple pages/sheet
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Special installation note:
+ To extract all the files just call `tex pfarrei.dtx'. Note,
+ that you have to use tex NOT latex or pdflatex!
+ The manual may be done using `pdflatex pfarrei.dtx' two
+ times.
+
+ After this, you should copy the files like this into a valid
+ TEXMF tree (aka TDS tree):
+ a5toa4.tlu --> scripts/pfarrei/a5toa5.tlu
+ pfarrei.tlu --> scripts/pfarrei/pfarrei.tlu
+ a5toa4.tex --> tex/latex/pfarrei/a5toa4.tex
+ pfarrei.sty --> tex/latex/pfarrei/pfarrei.sty
+ pfarrei.pdf --> doc/latex/pfarrei/pfarrei.pdf
+ README --> source/latex/pfarrei/README
+ pfarrei.dtx --> source/latex/pfarrei/pfarrei.dtx
+
+ Users, that do not use Windows, should also copy a5toa4.tlu
+ to the binary directory of their TeX distribution and rename
+ that copy into a5toa4 (without extension).
+
+ Windows users using TeX Live, should make a copy
+ of runscript.exe with the name a5toa4.exe in the binary
+ directory of their TeX distribution.
+
+ Windows users using MiKTeX <= 2.9 should remove
+ scripts/pfarrei/a5toa4.tlu and rename
+ scripts/pfarrei/pfarrei.tlu -->
+ scripts/pfarrei/a5toa4.tlu
+ because MiKTeX <= 2.9 uses an outdated texlua, that does not
+ search for modules correctly.
+
+ Wndows users using MiKTeX should also copy
+ ...\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\internal\runtexlua.exe -->
+ ...\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\a5toa4.exe
+ and start the MiKTeX Package Manager to install package
+ miktex-cairo-bin-2.9, if not already installed.
+
+ Please note, that there's also a TDS distribution of
+ `pfarrei' that may be installed simply by extraction of
+ `pfarrei.tds.zip' at a TEXMF tree and additionally copying
+ the binary to the binary directory of the TeX distribution
+ as described above.

+Version history
+
+* 2023-11-22 (r37) - Maintenance update/bugfix (Pavel Sanda)
+ - package has no more active maintainer
+ - fix of broken a5toa4 script:
+ MK: "Some time ago, the behaviour of "pdflatex" (and also the other engines)
+ changed when using the "--output-directory" option, which unfortunately
+ means that "a5toa4" no longer works."
+ PS: a5toa4 now only worked when *path* was provided with filename. r37 fixes
+ this. Tested on TL 2020,2022,2023. Notably not tested with MikTeX & Windows.
+ Feel free to contact me with feedback for this particular issue.
+ (sanda@lyx.org)
