+ == README for the `fileinfo' bundle ==
+
+This bundle has packages `readprov.sty' and `myfilist.sty'.
+
+`readprov.sty'
+
+ renders \GetFileInfo from LaTeX's `doc.sty' (without the
+ latter being required), as well as new robust (expandable)
+ variants of it, usable with files that are not really
+ loaded (they are quit when their file info is found,
+ cf. the `zwgetfdate' package). So, e.g., you can describe
+ packages that are incompatible with each other or with
+ packages that your document uses. You even can report about
+ various class files.
+
+ Such packages then also appear with LaTeX's \listfiles.
+ You may consider this a bug ...
+
+`myfilist.sty'
+
+ makes this "bug" a feature. In a "TeX script," you can choose
+ some files and their order. Their names can be output into a
+ plain text file with their dates, version ids, and one-line
+ descriptions, formatted in the way \listfiles does it after
+ a LaTeX run. This way you can get an overview of, e.g., some
+ package bundle ...
+
+ (So this is quite different from `dateiliste'.)
+
+`readprov' and `myfilist' are licensed according to the LaTeX
+Project Public License (see files; NO WARRANTY!). They are
+author-maintained.
+
+The two packages are described in more detail in `readprov.pdf'
+and `myfilist.pdf'. These documentation files also serve to
+demonstrate some .txt->.tex functionality of the `nicetext' bundle.
