+README for the `tools' bundle (December 1999)
+=============================
+
+This `bundle' consists of LaTeX2e packages written and supported by
+members of the LaTeX3 Project Team.
+
+The documented source code of each package is in a file with extension
+`.dtx'. 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.
