+numprint.sty and nbaseprt.sty
+=============================
+
+numprint.sty:
+Print numbers with a separator every three digits and convert numbers
+given as 12345.6e789 to 12\,345,6\cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed
+in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font.
+ Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as
+well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach
+12,345.6\times 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to
+a given number of digits.
+ If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit.
+Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits.
+ The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the
+number format.
+ Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable
+environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported
+using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and
+after the formatted number.
+
+If you prefer to use the old version 0.32 you may use numprint032.sty
+which will stay fixed.
+
+
+nbaseprt.sty:
+This package prints integer numbers in different bases (octal,
+decimal, hexadecimal, binary) similarly to the numprint package.
+But here, the number of digits within one group depends on the
+base.
+ This version of nbaseprt.sty is a BETA VERSION. The main command
+\nbaseprint will stay stable but all configuration commands and the output
+of \nbaseprint may change in future. Please give me feedback what can be
+improved and if the abbreviations for the different number bases are correct.

+
+Installation:
+
+automatic: - run make
+ - run make install
+ or
+ - run make
+ - copy numprint.sty, nbaseprt.sty, and numprint032.sty to a place
+ where LaTeX can find them
+ - run texhash or the corresponding command of your distribution
+
+by hand: - execute latex on numprint.ins
+ - copy numprint.sty, nbaseprt.sty, and numprint032.sty to a place
+ where LaTeX can find them
+ - run texhash or the corresponding command of your distribution
+ If you also want to re-compile the documentation which should not
+ be necessary do the following items, too:
+ - execute:
+ pdflatex numprint.dtx
+ pdflatex numprint.dtx
+ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o numprint.gls numprint.glo
+ makeindex -s gind.ist numprint
+ pdflatex numprint.dtx
+ - copy numprint.pdf to the documentation tree of your
+ TeX implementation
+ - do the same replacing `numprint' by `nbaseprt' resp. 'numprint032'
+ - run texhash or the corresponding command of your distribution,
+ again
