Installation
------------
The package is supplied in dtx format and as a pre-extracted zip file,
xecjk.tds.zip. The later is most convenient for most users: simply
unzip this in your local texmf directory and run texhash to update the
database of file locations. If you want to unpack the dtx yourself,
running "xetex xeCJK.dtx" will extract the package whereas
"xelatex xeCJK.dtx" will extract it and also typeset the documentation.

The package requires LaTeX3 support as provided in the l3kernel and
l3packages bundles and the fontspec package. All of these are available
on CTAN as ready-to-install zip files. Suitable versions are available
in the latest version of MiKTeX and TeX Live (updating the relevant
packages online may be necessary). Both of xpatch and etoolbox packages
are required. They are also available on CTAN.

To compile the documentation without error, you will need some specific
CJK scripts fonts (TrueType or OpenType).
