+Readme File for the package `localloc' by Bernd Raichle
+Copyright (C) 1991,1994,1995 Bernd Raichle. All rights reserved.
+
+ The `localloc' package reimplements plain-TeX's basic allocation
+macros to allow local allocation of registers. It can be used with
+ * plain-TeX,
+ * LaTeX2e,
+ * LaTeX 2.09,
+and all other formats which are based on plain-TeX.
+ In the past people complained about the restriction of 256
+registers imposed by TeX and want either more registers or a more
+clever way to maintain this limited resource. This package shows
+and implements a mechanism which doesn't remove this restrictions
+but allows local allocation of registers. Using this mechanism
+you can often replace global register allocations by ones local
+to a group allowing the register to be used for other purposes
+after the group is left.
+
+
+Installation:
+-------------
+
+This package contains 2 files, namely
+ * localloc.README This README file
+ * localloc.dtx The docstrip archive file containing the
+ source for the macro file `localloc.sty'
+ and the documentation.
+
+To unpack the archive file you need `docstrip.tex' version 2.x or
+newer. You can find this file in the LaTeX2e release; it can be
+used with plain-TeX _and_ LaTeX. Run `localloc.dtx' through
+plainTeX or LaTeX to unpack the archive file:
+ tex localloc.dtx
+or
+ latex localloc.dtx
+
