+README file for release 0.83 of METAOBJ
+---------------------------------------
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+ Install the file inputs/metaobj.mp on your metapost path, typically under
+
+ .../texmf/metapost/metaobj/
+
+ On UNIX, you may need to run texhash or something like this, so that your
+ TeX installation knows about the new file.
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+ In order to test the package, take any .mp file from the examples
+ directory, for instance mobjstandard.mp, and do the following:
+
+ mpost mobjstandard.mp
+ tex mproof mobjstandard.[0-9]*
+ dvips mproof.dvi -o
+ gv mproof.ps
+
+ If you run into problems, you may have to increase your metapost
+ environment. Try to increase first the limits you have reached.
+ In order to do this, create a texmf.cnf file and put the
+ environment variables with the new values. Recreate the metapost format
+ with inimpost mpost.ini, but be sure the texmf.cmf file you have
+ created is taken into account. (Do something like setenv TEXMFCNF .:
+ or export TEXMF=.: if needed.) And then compile again.
+ Eventually, you should be able to compile the example.
+
+ Note: the compilation of proofex.mp is very slow, be patient.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+ A manual is in the doc directory.
+ The metaobj.mp code is not formatted with mft, because mft can't
+ handle many of metaobj's idiosyncrasies.
