ABOUT

The elatex package is a toolbox of programming facilities geared
primarily towards LaTeX class and package authors. It provides LaTeX
frontends to some of the new primitives provided by e-TeX as well as
some generic tools which are not strictly related to e-TeX but match
the profile of this package. This package will not modify any part
of the LaTeX kernel. Its name is not meant to imply that it patches
LaTeX such that the kernel makes use of e-TeX facilities by default.
As of this writing, the package is work in progress in the sense
that it does not cover all e-TeX primitives. At present, it provides
facilities for macro definitions, expansion control, hook
management, and macro patching.

INSTALLATION

Copy the file `elatex.sty' to

	<TEXMFLOCAL>/tex/latex/elatex/

where <TEXMFLOCAL> denotes the root of the local TeX installation
tree, for example

	/usr/local/share/texmf/
or
	c:\localtexmf\

Note that you may have to create those directories if this is the
first package you're installing locally (as opposed to via a package
manager). Don't forget to update the file hash tables after
installing the files. Please see the following TeX FAQ answers for
further details:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=wherefiles
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tds

The manual may be copied to the `doc' subdirectory of the local TeX
installation tree or to any other place where you will find it later.
