+ | THE SAVETREES PACKAGE |
+ | By Scott Pakin, scott+st@pakin.org |
+ +------------------------------------+
+
+
+Description
+===========
+The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible
+onto each page of a LaTeX document. 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
