LaTeX Package : glossaries v 1.02

Last Modified : 25 May 2007

Author        : Nicola Talbot

This package is provided to assist generating glossaries.
The package supports acronyms and multiple glossaries.
New entries are defined to have a name and description (and
optionally an associated symbol.) Plural forms can also be
specified.  New glossary styles can be defined, and preambles
and postambles can be specified. There is provision for loading
a database of terms, only terms used in the text will be added
to the relevant glossary.

*This package replaces the glossary package which is now obsolete.*

The package is supplied using the TeX Directory Structure (TDS).
Files in texmf directory should go in the corresponding
$LOCALTEXMF directories. The scripts directory contains the Perl
script makeglossaries and the batch file makeglossaries.bat
which should go somewhere on your operating system's PATH. (Both
files are required for Windows, only the Perl script is 
required for other operating systems.)

*Remember to refresh TeX's database*

This package comes with a LaTeX2HTML style file glossaries.perl.
This is located in latex2html/styles and should be placed in
the relevant LaTeX2HTML styles directory, but note that 
glossaries.perl only supplies a sub-set of the commands provided
by glossary.sty, so some commands may not be implemented, or
may be implemented in a different way.

The package and documentation source code is also supplied as a
dtx and ins file located in texmf/source.
