+\section{Using the package}
+
+%There are two versions of the package \verb+soroban-pst.sty+ and \verb+soroban-pgf.sty+
+%for use with PStricks or tikz/pgf. Just rename the selected system as \verb+soroban.sty+
+%and put it in a folder which can be found by \LaTeX.
+
+In the preamble, insert the instruction \verb+\usepackage{pst-soroban}+. There is no need
+to load the corresponding graphics package as the packages are required by the pst-soroban package.
+
+The package also sets the base unit as 1 mm; this draws a soroban of the normal size
+as used in schools, shops,\dots If one wants to change the size, one sets the base
+unit by \verb+\psset{unit=0.25mm}+.% (for PStricks) or \verb+\ladj{0.25}+ (for tikz/pgf).
+These instructions can be used any time in the document to change the size for some
+part if required.
+
+To draw a soroban, one draws rod(s) with the required bids in the right position and
+add either a frame or just top and bottom parts of the frame. One can then add some
+bids in other colours and also cross some bids.
+
+Let's draw a soroban representing the number 321.45 in small size: 0.25.

+
+Line 1 defines the size, lines 2 and 10 create the picture environment, lines 3--8 draw
+the rods and line 9 creates the frame.
+
+For PStricks, one has to give the dimensions of the picture, otherwise the drawing
+would have no size and would overlap the surrounding text. One gives some space before
+and below (\verb+(-2,-2)+) and after above. The picture is 74.6 units hight and 20* number
+of rods wide (here \verb+(122,76)+). Of course, if one adds something before, under,
+after or above the soroban, one has to adjust the corresponding part of the frame dimension.
+
+%This is not necessary for tikz.
+
+To draw a rod, one uses the command \verb+\tige+. The syntax is:
+\begin{center}
+\verb§\tige[§\ttsl{<st>}\verb§]{§\ttsl{<nu>}\verb§}{§\ttsl{<val>}\verb§}{§\ttsl{<un>}\verb§}§
+\end{center}
+
+The \ttsl{<nu>} argument numbers the rods from left to right. \ttsl{<val>} is the
+number to be represented on the rod from 0 to 9. The \ttsl{<un>} argument tells
+that there is a dot on the central bar (1) or not (0); there is normally a dot for the
+unit, thousand, million,\dots ranks.
+
+The \ttsl{<st>} argument is optional and tells at which position the drawing is started;
+the default value is 1. This is interesting when one wants to put more then one drawing
+on a line:
+
+\begin{center}

+\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(182,76)
+\tige{1}{1}{1}
+\barres{1}
+\tige[5]{1}{6}{1}

+\barres[5]{1}
+\tige[9]{1}{5}{1}
+\barres[9]{1}
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{minipage}
+\end{center}
+
+In this example, there is no frame but only parts of it above and below; this is
+created with the \verb+\barres+ command. The syntaxes for the frame and top/bottom lines are:
+\begin{center}
+\verb§\cadre[§\ttsl{<st>}\verb§]{§\ttsl{<nb>}\verb§}§ and \verb§\barres[§\ttsl{<st>}\verb§]{§\ttsl{<nb>}\verb§}§.
+\end{center}
+
+The optional \ttsl{<st>} arguments are the same as the one of \verb+\tige+, the \ttsl{<nb>}
+argument tell how many rods have to be covered.
+
+If one wants to colour a specific bid , one can achieve this with \verb+\binoire+:
+\begin{center}
+\verb§\binoire[§\ttsl{<st>}\verb§]{§\ttsl{<nu>}\verb§}{§\ttsl{<pos>}\verb§}{§\ttsl{<col>}\verb§}§
+\end{center}
+
+\ttsl{<st>} and \ttsl{<nu>} arguments are the same as for \verb+\tige+; the \ttsl{<col>}
+argument defines the colour and the \ttsl{<pos>} argument tells which bid has to be
+coloured as shown in the following example.

+\end{center}
+
+The \verb+\barbil+ command allows to cross a bid (see example below); the syntax is:
+\begin{center}
+\verb§\barbil[§\ttsl{<st>}\verb§]{§\ttsl{<nu>}\verb§}{§\ttsl{<pos>}\verb§}§
+\end{center}
+The arguments \ttsl{<st>}, \ttsl{<nu>} and \ttsl{<pos>} have the same meaning
+as those of \verb+\binoire+.
+
+Finally, one can change the overall colours of the rods and the bids, for example
+to print in black and white.
+This is done by changing the values of the \verb+\colbil+ (for the bids) and
+\verb+\coltig+ (for the rods) commands; by default these are yellow and
+``brun´´ (new brown colour).
