Running LaTeX on the file tools.ins will produce all the +package files, and some associated files. + +So you should first process tools.ins: + + latex tools.ins + +The files with extensions `.sty' and `.tex' (including a file whose +name is just `.tex') should then be moved to a directory on LaTeX's +standard input path. + +See the Note at the end of this file if you have problems processing +the tools.ins file. + +Documentation for the individual packages may then be obtained by +running LaTeX on the `.dtx' files. + +For example: + + latex array.dtx + +will produce the file array.dvi, documenting the array package. + + +The file manifest.txt contains a list of the main files in the +distribution together with a one-or-two line summary of each package. + + +Copyright +========= +Copyright is maintained on each of these packages by the author(s) +of the package. + + +Distribution Conditions +======================= + +All the files in this bundle may be distributed under the conditions +of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.1 of this +license or (at your option) any later version. The latest version of +this license is in + http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt +and version 1.1 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX +version 1999/06/01 or later. + +The list of all files belonging to the `Tools Bundle' is +given in the file `manifest.txt'. + +Commercial users of the multicol package are asked to read the +notice at the head of the file multicol.dtx. + +The use of these files is otherwise unrestricted. + + +Reporting Bugs +============== + +If you wish to report a problem or bug in any of these packages, use +the latexbug.tex program that comes with the standard LaTeX +distribution. Please ensure that you enter `tools' category when +prompted with a menu of categories, so that the message will be +automatically forwarded to the appropriate part of our database. + +When reporting bugs, please produce a small test file that shows the +problem, and ensure that you are using the current version of the +package, and of the base LaTeX software. + + +NOTE (docstrip version) +======================= + +If latex tools.ins +produces the `docstrip interactive mode' prompt: + + * First type the extension of your input file(s): * + \infileext= + +Then your version of docstrip is too old. +Quit (eg by hitting `enter' to all questions) and get a newer +docstrip.tex. It must be at least version 2.4. + +A suitable docstrip.tex may be found from `CTAN' archives such as +ftp.dante.de tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked/docstrip.tex + +Docstrip is part of the base LaTeX distribution, so if you have +an old docstrip then your LaTeX is out of date and you may consider +getting the whole of that directory and re-installing LaTeX. +However you need to fetch only the file docstrip.tex to unpack +this tools distribution with your existing format. + |
