+Nature package
+
+Version: 1.0, 24 Feb. 2004
+
+by Peter Czoschke, czoschke@mrl.uiuc.edu
+
+--------------------
+
+This package is meant to aid people preparing scientific papers
+in the journal Nature (Nature Publishing Group) using LaTeX.
+Nature does not officially accept preprints or final drafts in
+LaTeX. However, they DO accept papers in PDF format, which is
+of course not difficult to arrange.
+
+The file nature.cls is the LaTeX2e class file that should be
+used to write the document. It is designed so that papers written
+under a different class can be easily converted to Nature's style.
+I attempted to conform to NPG's style as set out in their Microsoft
+Word template file available from their website, including paragraph
+spacing, indentation, etc.
+
+The file naturemag.bst is the appropriate BibTeX style file to conform
+to NPG's reference style, generated using the custom-bib package. It
+should be up-to-date as of this writing.
+
+For more information, see the beginning of the class file. The file
+nature-template.tex gives an example/template of how to use the class
+and gives some limited tips on NPG's requirements for submission.
+
+I am in no way affiliated with NPG and make no claim that the style of
+any document prepared using this package will conform to NPG's preprint
+style exactly. When in doubt, refer to their website at:

+
+Good luck!
