-\title{Package `epsdice' --- a scalable dice font}

-\section{Introduction}
-Dice fonts are already available in \textsc{metafont} format.
-\begin{quote}
-\verb+\begin{ShamelessPlug}+ \\[.5ex]
-I should know, I wrote one myself: \verb+dice3d.mf+ \\[.5ex]
-\verb+\end{ShamelessPlug}+
-\end{quote}
-For some applications it seems preferable, however, to have the fonts
-in scalable form. The package \verb+epsdice+ fills this gap.
-
-\texttt{epsdice.sty} provides a single command,
-\verb+\epsdice{#1}+. It takes one argument, an integer from 1 to 6.
-The value of a counter is allowed as an argument, too, so automatic
-representation of (generated or input) data is possible as well.
-Depending on the value of the argument, \verb+\epsdice+ includes the
-appropriately clipped region from the encapsulated PostScript file
-\verb+epsdice.eps+ that contains simple drawings of dice faces.
-The drawings scale with the current font because the height of
-the included graphics file is set in terms of `ex' units.
-%
-\section{Requirements and limitations}
-\verb+epsdice+ relies on the \verb+graphicx+ package with package
-option \verb+[dvips]+ to include the encapsulated PostScript file.
-It also uses the \verb+ithen+ package to validate the arguments
-(error checking).
-
-Although the PostScript file is rather small,
-including it too many times may not be desirable.
-%
-\section{Configuring this package}
-To install the package,
-simply move the following files somewhere in your ``local texmf tree'':
-\verb+epsdice.{sty, eps, cfg}+, as well as \verb+diceface.eps+.
-I suggest a new subdirectory
-\verb+/$LOCALTEXMF/tex/latex/epsdice/*+, where \verb+$LOCALTEXMF+ stands
-for your ``local texmf tree'' (what a surprise). Refresh your
-\TeX-system's file name database, and that's it, you're all set!
-The remainder of this section applies only if you want to change
-the default settings.
-
-The command \verb+\epsdice+ works by including an encapsulated postscript
-file, so this file must be found by \LaTeXe.
-The package comes with a configuration file \verb+epsdice.cfg+ containing
-the file name in the variable \verb+\dicefile+. By default, this variable
-points to the file \verb+epsdice.eps+ (without file name extension).
-If you don't like my drawings and would like to ``roll your own''
-(PostScript code, not dice), a look at the file \verb+diceface.eps+
-may help. It contains the same PostScript code as \verb+epsdice.eps+,
-with some comments about what's going on.
-If you intend to keep the \verb+.eps+ file with the dice drawings in a
-different place or if you want to use your own version
-you have to edit the configuration file \verb+epsdice.cfg+ accordingly,
-by adding the path to the file name, or by changing the file name in the
-variable \verb+\dicefile+.
-
-If a configuration file does not exist, the file \verb+epsdice.eps+
-is assumed to be located in the present working directory.

-\section{Examples}
-This text shows dice faces in an 11pt environment:
-\epsdice{1} \epsdice{2} \epsdice{3} \epsdice{4} \epsdice{5} \epsdice{6}.
-The pictures fit into the surrounding text.
-
-{\Large
-Here is some large text. The dice pictures scale accordingly:%
-\footnote{\ldots as they do in footnotes, \epsdice{\value{footnote}},
-like this.} \epsdice{3}. See?} The package works with standard counters,
-too: Here's the result of \verb+\epsdice{\value{page}}+
-\epsdice{\value{page}}.
-%
-\section{Errors}
-Of course it doesn't make sense to ask for dice faces with arguments
-other than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. The package generates error
-messages and simply prints the offending argument in the \TeX\ output.
-Uncomment the final lines in this documentation to see this feature
-in action.
-% This generates `benign' errors: \epsdice{99} and \epsdice{-3}.
-% The following is more serious, generating two different errors:
-% \epsdice{epsfoo}. Nevertheless, output continues with a fall-back
-% solution.
