+This directory contains the cmastro fonts as collected
+by Sebastian Rahtz. No author was given in the sources.
+
+I have changed the standard setup and added a summary page; the files
+distributed by Sebastian Rahtz all start with 00.
+
+WHAT IS CMASTRO?
+
+CMASTRO is a collection of fonts containing special astronomical (and
+astrological :-) symbols for the planets, sun, moon, etc.
+
+HOW TO INSTALL (on un*x systems):
+
+0) CMASTRO is distributed with a complete set of PK files generated
+ for a 300dpi laser printer. If you can manage with these then skip
+ to 3).
+
+1) Edit the do.sh script to suit your font format.
+
+2) Run do.sh. If you need more magnifications than are generated here
+ then feel free to generate them...
+
+3) Install the font metric (.tfm) files where TeX will them and the
+ pixel files (usually .gf or .pk) where your DVI driver(s) will find
+ them.
+
+4) Install the macro files astro.tex and astro.sty in a place where
+ TeX will find them.
+
+5) Run plain TeX on the file cmastro.tex (typically you should execute
+ the command tex cmastro). This should produce a summary of the
+ available symbols.
+
+FINALLY...
+
+If anyone knows the author of the cmastro fonts then please write a
+mail to <kris@diku.dk> so he/she can be properly acknowledged!
+
+Neither Sebastian Rahtz nor myself (Kristoffer H. Rose) should be held
+responsible for any consequences of any form of use (or misuse) of this
+package.
+
+Enjoy,
+--
