Admittedly, this makes the +document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way +to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also +be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a +conference or journal submission. + + +Installation +============ +Building the savetrees package is fairly straightforward: + + latex savetrees.ins <= Extract savetrees.sty, savetrees.bst, + and makethin.pl. + latex savetrees.dtx <= Build the documentation (savetrees.dvi). + makeindex -s gind.ist savetrees <= Generate an index (makeindex.ind). + latex savetrees.dtx <= Add the index to the documentation. + +Then, on Unix: + + mv makethin.pl makethin <= Drop the unnecessary .pl extension. + chmod +x makethin <= Make the Perl script executable. + +To install savetrees, move savetrees.sty into a directory searched by +LaTeX (e.g., .../texmf/tex/latex/misc/) and move savetrees.bst into a +directory searched by BibTeX (e.g., .../texmf/bibtex/bst/misc/). + +If you have both Perl and a Kpathsea-based TeX distribution -- i.e., +you have a "kpsewhich" command -- then you should additionally install +the makethin script somewhere in your path (e.g., /usr/local/bin). On +a Unix system, you can produce a man page using a command like the +following: + + makethin --man=/usr/local/man/man1/makethin.1 + + +Copyright and license +===================== +Copyright (C) 2004 by Scott Pakin <scott+st@pakin.org> + +This file may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of +the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.2 of this license +or (at your option) any later version.
