\maketitle
\section*{Preface}
\texttt{ednotes[.sty]} is a macro package or bundle of
macro files for scholarly critical editions---typed
by U.\,L.\footnote{$\dots$ originally under the direction of
Christian Tapp at a research project granted by the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).}
It is little more than a user interface for combining
Stephan~I.\ B\"ottcher's \texttt{lineno.sty} and
Alexander~I.~Rozhenko's \texttt{manyfoot}.
Recent CTAN policy urges to upload \texttt{PDF}
documentation accompanying \TeX\ macro files.
% such files
% do exist for the underlying \texttt{lineno.sty}---
% \lcurl{lineno.pdf}
% (plus a supplementary \texttt{lnosuppl.pdf} there)---and
% as
% \lcurl{manyfoot.pdf}
% plus
% \lcurl{nccfoots.pdf}
% for the underlying \texttt{manyfoot.sty}\,.
%
% $\dots$ well,
Sorry, a documentation of this kind doesn't exist
at present for \texttt{ednotes} $\dots$---I am just offering
some ersatz \texttt{PDF} documentation: listings of the
\texttt{.sty} files belonging to the \texttt{ednotes} bundle,
structured and navigatable through a table of contents.
For making use of the options that \texttt{ednotes.sty}
provides, it is vital to know the underlying
\texttt{lineno.sty}---and its documentation.
\texttt{ednotes} just passes \texttt{lineno} commands and
options to the latter. So please notice
\lcurl{lineno/lineno.pdf}
as well as (if you need it)
\lcurl{lineno/lnosuppl.pdf\,.}
In the same directory, there are other macro files that
\texttt{ednotes.sty} may need and whose documentation may
be contained in \texttt{lnosuppl.pdf} (in the same
pseudo-\texttt{PDF}-style as present).
% Sorry, I haven't had the time for making a proper \texttt{PDF}
% documentation for the present \texttt{ednotes} bundle.
% What I am offering is nothing but a somewhat structured listing
% of the additional \texttt{.txt} and \texttt{.sty} files,
% deriving from the \texttt{verbatim} package and its
% \cs{verbatiminput} command. I hope that the high quality
% (scalable) output is worth it.
Please don't overlook that \lcurl{lineno/ednotugb.pdf} contains
a (printable) \emph{overview} on the facilities of
\texttt{ednotes}, as well as a comparison with Peter Wilson's
alternative \texttt{ledmac}.

\section{The \texttt{.txt} files}
\subsection{First encounter with \texttt{ednotes} on CTAN:
\texttt{README}}
\verbatiminput{README}
\subsection{Adding on installing etc.: \texttt{READMORE.txt}}
This is an extended "README" version
for learning how to complete your download.
\verbatiminput{READMORE.txt}
\subsection{What has changed since your earlier downloads:
\texttt{CHANGES.txt}}
\dots\ lists changes the bundle underwent in a chronolical order.
\verbatiminput{CHANGES.txt}
\subsection{Advice for installation: \texttt{visible.txt}}
Some very down-to-earth advices for real \TeX-newbies:
\verbatiminput{visible.txt}
\subsection{Really recent? \texttt{CHANGING.txt}}
You might consider whether the snapshot (TeXLive most notably)
of the \texttt{ednotes} bundle that you have received most
recently displays the most recent (and perfect) state of it.
\verbatiminput{CHANGING.txt}
\section{The main file: \texttt{ednotes.sty}}
\verbatiminput{ednotes.sty}
\section{Supplementary macro files}
\subsection{Tracking page break oscillations:
\texttt{lblchng1.sty}}
\verbatiminput{lblchng1.sty}
\subsection{A lemma repeated in a line: \texttt{edcntwd0.sty}}
\verbatiminput{edcntwd0.sty}
\subsection{Some \texttt{para}-footnote hack: \texttt{mfparptc.sty}}
This deals with a problem that still needs much thinking \dots
\par
\verbatiminput{mfparptc.sty}
\subsection{A reminder of obsoleteness: \texttt{mfparxsp.sty}}
This file just tells that some earlier facility dealing with
vertical spacing has been superseded by \texttt{manyfoot}'s
more recent \cs{ExtraParaSkip}\,.
\verbatiminput{mfparxsp.sty}
\section{\texttt{varnrule.tex}---customizing footnote rules}
