+The readarray package allows one to input formatted data into elements
+of a 2-D or 3-D array and to recall that data at will by individual cell
+number. The data can be but need not be numerical in nature. It can
+be, for example, formatted text.
+
+While the package can be used for any application where indexed data is
+called for, the package proves particularly useful when elements of
+multiple arrays must be recallable and dynamically combined at time of
+compilation, rather than in advance.
+
+When data is read from an input file, it may also be accessed by file
+record (1-D access), in addition to 2-D or 3-D array-cell access.
