The IEEEtrantools.sty package provides several commands from the IEEEtran.cls
file so that they can be used under other LaTeX classes. The user guide
provided here covers only the differences in the use of the commands from
those provided by IEEEtran.cls. For complete documentation on these commands,
see the relevant sections in the IEEEtran_HOWTO manual of the IEEEtran LaTeX
class.

The IEEEtrantools.sty package provides the following IEEEtran.cls commands:

 1. \PARstart which produces large initial "drop cap" letters.
 2. the \bstctlcite command for the control entry types of IEEEtran.bst
    V1.00 and later
 3. the IEEE itemize, enumerate and description list environments
 4. the complete IEEEeqnarray family for producing multiline equations
    as well as matrices and tables, including the IEEEeqnarray support
    commands.

IEEEtrantools.sty should not be used with IEEEtran.cls.

*******
Version 1.1 (2002/11/18) changes:

 1) In addition to the IEEE IED lists, the original LaTeX IED style lists
    environments are now preserved as LaTeXitemize, LaTeXenumerate, and
    LaTeXdescription. Also, users can now redefine \makelabel within
    IEEE IED list controls.
