So, this is only an estimation without +guarantee - do not sue me, if you have got to pay excess postage! + +Further it allows to compute "base to the power of exponent" inside LaTeX. + + +2 DOWNLOAD +========== + +`papermas' should become available on CTAN soon: + CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/muench/papermas/ + +Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files, already +sorted in a TDS tree (should become available on CTAN soon): + CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/muench/papermas.tds.zip + +`CTAN:' means one of the `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network' +nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in + http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives + +The CTAN stuff will be mirrored automatically from the +ftp server, so + ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/muench/pagesLTS/ +corresponds to + CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/muench/pagesLTS/ + + +3 INSTALLATION +============== + +Installation with ZIP file in TDS format +---------------------------------------- +The ZIP file `papermas.tds.zip' contains the files sorted +in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file +inside a TDS tree. +(See CTAN:tds.zip for an explanation of TDS.) +Example: + cd /...somewhere.../texmf + unzip /...downloadpath.../papermas.tds.zip +Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this +TDS tree. +Example: + texhash /...somewhere.../texmf + +Manual installation +------------------- +a) Download the papermas files from CTAN or the TUG server. + If necessary, unpack them. +b) If directory `beta' exists, replace the files by the + counterparts in this directory, if you want to use the + latest versions. +c) Generate the package and driver files: + tex papermas.ins +d) Install the files `*.sty', and `*.cfg' in your TDS tree: + cp *.sty *.cfg TDS:tex/latex/muench/papermas/ + Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree + (texmf directory). +e) Copy the documentation files to + "TDS:doc/latex/muench/papermas/": + README, papermas.pdf, papermas-example.tex, + papermas-example.pdf. +f) Update the databases if necessary, e. g. for teTeX: + mktexlsr .../texmf + + +4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES +===================== + +Depending on the driver and option settings, papermas loads +other packages: +* kvoptions.sty: + CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/kvoptions.pdf +* pagesLTS.sty: + CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/muench/pagesLTS.dtx + (submitted, should become available on CTAN soon) +which again load other packages +(see the result of the \listfiles comman in the log-file + of the example). + + +5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY +======================= + +papermas should be loaded AFTER package pagesLTS. + + +6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER +===================== + +* Hans-Martin Münch + + +7 BUG REPORTS +============== + +A bug report should contain: +* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or + warning messages. + * \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the + TeX code to get more informations in TeX error messages. +* Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not + contain any unnecessary packages and code. +* Used drivers/programs. +* Version information about used packages and programs. + * If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles". Then + a list of version informations is printed at the end + of the LaTeX run. +* Please no other files than the minimal test file. + The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom + necessary, so send them only on request. +* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them! + +Bug address +----------- +Bug reports can be send to the maintainer: + Hans-Martin Münch + <Martin [dot] Muench [at] Uni-Bonn [dot] de> + + +8 KNOWN PROBLEMS +================= + +* as yet: none...
