+Feyn: a Metafont for Feynman diagrams
+-------------------------------------
+
+%%VERSION%% 0.1
+
+This describes the font `feyn', which can be used to produce relatively
+simple Feynman diagrams within equations in a LaTeX document.
+
+The other Feynman diagram package which exists is Thorsten Ohl's
+`feynmf/feynmp' package. That works by creating Metafont or MetaPost
+figures using a preprocessor. It's more general than this package,
+but is at its best when creating relatively large diagrams, for
+figures. In contrast, the present system consists of a
+carefully-designed font with which you can write simple diagrams,
+within equations or within text, in a size matching the surrounding
+text size.
+
+
+Status
+------
+
+The font, and this associated style file, should be regarded as
+beta software at present. The propagators and vertices which are
+implemented are those which _I_ needed. I'd be delighted to
+add more if folk feel they would be useful.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Extract the package file from the distribution file using `latex
+feyn.ins'. The resulting `feyn.sty' should be installed in the usual
+location for style files -- that is, something like
+`texmf.local/tex/latex/feyn.sty'. The Metafont source files `*.mf'
+should be installed in a directory with a location such as
+`texmf.local/fonts/source/feyn/' (on a system which has the command,
+`kpsepath mf' will indicate the possibilities here, but these
+typically include the current directory). That should be all you need
+to do as regards the installation of the fonts -- if your TeX setup is
+installed correctly, then the usual font-generation commands (such as
+`mktexpk' for example) should work as normal, and they should be
+invoked by default when you LaTeX the feyn.dtx file.
