+README 2006/08/26
+
+This file describes the directory
+ CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/
+
+It contains several packages:
+ <package>.dtx: source code
+ <package>.pdf: documentation
+The PDF file also embeds the source code. Thus it is enough to
+download the PDF file, if you want to have the package.
+See the section `Installation' how to unpack and install the
+package in more detail. Here just short instructions are given:
+ 1a. Download the DTX source file and the PDF documentation.
+ 1b. Or skip the DTX source download and extract the embedded
+ source file, e.g.:
+ pdftk <package>.pdf unpack_files output .
+ 2. Unpack the package using docstrip:
+ tex <package>.dtx
+ 3. Install the files in your preferred TDS (texmf) tree.
+
+Installation is easier, if you want to install all packages:
+Just download oberdiek-tds.zip and unzip it in your preferred
+TDS (texmf) tree.
+
+Hint for attachfile2: This package comes with a Perl script pdfatfi.pl
+that should be installed somewhere in PATH as `pdfatfi', see also
+package documentation.
+
+Hints for users of old PDF viewer software (AR <= 5) that cannot
+read PDF-1.5 files. Only the PDF files in oberdiek-tds.zip uses
+the compression features of PDF-1.5 to get smaller file sizes.
+If you must support older PDF viewers, then use the PDF files in
+the CTAN directory that do not use the new compression features.
+
+Other files in the CTAN directory:
+* README: This file.
+* oberdiek.tex, oberdiek.pdf:
+ Table of contents of all packages in the directory.
+ It contains the table of contents and the abstract of the packages.
+ The name is a convenience to users of the program `texdoc'.
