+% user manual/requirement definition for footnpag package

+% (history at end)

+% This file is either a subdocument of the style doc or a document on
+% its own. In the former case it's a chapter, in the latter it's a
+% ``normal'' LaTeX progltx document.
+% If it's a subdocument, this file will be included after
+% \begin{document}. We can detect this: \document redefines
+% \documentclass to be \@twoclasseserror. Then we also have to define
+% how this document is ended: Either by \endinput or by an additional
+% revision log.
+% Of course, this test works only if LaTeX 2e is used for processing.

+
+This package is appropriate for numbering footnotes separately on each
+page. It may be used with all standard document classes (and I assume
+with all other well written ones). `Numbering' here does not only mean
+supplying Arabic numbers, if your class or another package sets up
+appropriate symbols, they are used instead.
+
+You just have to use the |footnpag| package, the rest will happen
+automagically. You will need two \LaTeX{} runs, as with cross
+references or citations.
+
+
+\sect \textsl{Known Problems}.
+
+\medskip
+
+\noindent Unlike with references, \LaTeX{} will not issue a warning if
+a footnote number is incorrect due to new page breaks. Thus run
+\LaTeX{} always another time if you want a final document.
+
+This is scheduled to change in the next revision.
+
+
+\sect An auxiliary file is used, named \textit{jobname}|.fot|. This is
+not necessary by itself, it would have been better to use the
+|aux| file. (Actually, this package was written for plain \TeX{}
+originally, there is no |aux| file there.)
+
+This is also scheduled to change in the next revision. In fact, it's
+the same problem like the previous one: When I use the |aux| file,
+\LaTeX{}'s warning mechanism can be utilized.
+
+
+\sect There is no possibility to change the number that's used for the
+first footnote on a page.
+
+Some people like to start their footnotes with~`0', there exists even
+a package for that named |zero|. |footnpag| should cooperate with that
+package.
+
+If one uses symbols as footnote markers, the first footnote is marked
+with an asterisk. One might want to use a dagger instead, that's not
+possible currently.
+
+Most probably this feature will be made available via the new
+``keyword-value'' option scheme, as you'll find it in the |graphicx|
+package.

+Made a \LaTeXe{} package from this style option.
+
+User manual is a separate document now, that's better for
+installation. Started to change the distribution into one that
+conforms to the `supported bundle guidelines.'
