+==================================================================
+
+NEW IN VERSION 1.10
+
+- Support for OzTeX (derived from Baron Grey's OzTeX version of psfig)
+
+- New searching path algorithm (from Gerhard Tobermann); looks in
+ multiple directories; looks for file.ps before file.ps.bb...
+
+- Many small bug fixes (underscore in draft mode, angle/clip interaction)
+
+- Improved documentation and man page
+
+==================================================================
+
+SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
+
+Psfig/tex uses \special calls to manipulate the PostScript environment
+within a document, and include figure files. To use psfig, you must
+therefore be using a postscript device for your output. This version
+of psfig/tex works with the unix "dvips" PostScript driver, which is
+available from labrea.stanford.edu, and with OzTeX.
+
+It may also work with the ArborText "dvips" driver, and with the
+"dvi2ps" written by Tony Li <tli@sargar.usc.edy>; see the
+"unsupported" directory.
+
+==================================================================
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+To install psfig, simply copy psfig.sty into a directory on your TeX
+include path (e.g. /usr/lib/tex/macros).
+
+If you are using OzTeX, change the driver line at the top of
+the psfig.sty file to read
+ \def\setDriver{\OzTeXDriver}
+instead of
+ \def\setDriver{\DvipsDriver}
+
+
+A users guide and manual page can be found in the "doc" directory.
+
+For tips on dealing with Macintosh postscript, see the directory
+"unsupported/macdemo/README".
+
+==================================================================
+
+BUGS
+
+If you use the letter style, make sure you include the psfig style
+first.
+
+If you have an old version of dvips, you may need to make a patch to
+use the compressed figure option, and to handle magnification
+correctly. The files "unsupported/dospecial.[patch,frag]" contain a
+patch and a corresponding code fragment for dvips' dospecial.c file.
+To apply the patch copy dospecial.patch into your dvips directory and
+run "patch < dospecial.patch", and then recompile. "dospcial.frag"
+contains the modified portion of the code as it should appear in the
+patched file. To use magnification with psfig and dvips, you need to
+change the line
+ /magscale false def
+in special.pro to
+ /magscale true def
+in order to have the figures scaled correctly.
