NOTES
general
Three LaTeX packages are part of the Frankenstein bundle but are
unsupported. They are distributed on CTAN in a subdirectory of the
directory containing the supported Frankenstein filesets (i.e.,
CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/supported/frankenstein/unsupported/). In
a TeX installation, however, supported and unsupported macros,
sources, and documentation should be placed together, (e.g., in
TDS:/texmf/{doc,source,tex}/latex/frankenstein).
If you wish to use the unsupported packages, download the entire
"frankenstein" directory from CTAN (which will include the
"unsupported" subdirectory).
To use the Makefile on the unsupported filesets, you must do two
things.
1. Copy all the files in the "unsupported" subdirectory into its
parent directory ("frankenstein").
2. Set the variable USE_UNSUP to something nonempty either by:
a. uncommenting the line in the file Makefile, or
b. setting it in your environment, or
c. set the variable on the Make command line, e.g., "make
USE_UNSUP=t all".
Descriptions of the four unsupported packages are below.
Further important information about the Frankenstein bundle may be
found in the file README.
Installation instructions are in the file INSTALL.
The bits and drama packages depend on the non-Frankenstein package
"relsize.sty". Please see INSTALL for further information.
Both the README and INSTALL files are located in the parent
directory of this file (on CTAN) or in the same directory as this
file (in a TeX installation).
non-support
The package filesets in this directory are UNSUPPORTED. They are
furthermore possibly INCOMPLETE and NOT fully DOCUMENTED.
I hope one day to complete these packages, document them, and
support them. I will gladly listen to feedback on them, but I do
not take the same level of responsibility for them as for the
packages I call "supported". In the meantime, they are made public
under the conditions stated below so that I can refer interested
individuals to them.
These packages are indeed valuable in certain ways, such as
sometimes working as advertised, but of course I offer no
guarantees.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE DESCRIPTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
bits
(Frankenstein's guts)
Bits provides a programmer's interface for a new idea called a
"bit", which is like an environment but has a title, author, and
other attributes usually only associated with the "document"
environment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
drama
production-format stage script
(Frankenstein's heart)
Drama defines macros for typesetting a basic production-style stage
script.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
includex
extra ways to include files
Includex allows you to include just the contents of one source file
into another, ignoring the text outside the \begin{document}
... \end{document} in the included file. See also the supported
"newclude" package, which is intended to supersede includex, though
until I ensure that it is a satisfactory replacement I will keep
includex around.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION CONDITIONS
All Frankenstein files are copyrighted by Matthew Swift and released
under the conditions of the GNU General Public License contained in
the file COPYING, which should be in the parent directory or the
same directory as this file.
The unsupported filesets in the same directory as this file ought to
be distributed WITH the supported ones. They are useless without
the supported ones.
I am willing to specially license this code; please simply contact
me with your proposal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TERMINOLOGY
fileset: A group of files related to a single LaTeX package, LaTeX
class, or BibTeX bibliography style and any accompanying
option or configuration files. The files in a package or
class fileset have the same root name but different
filename extensions. In bibstyle filesets, some root names
differ by a "-bst" suffix.
CTAN: Comprehensive TeX Archive Network: a system of TeX-related
file archives available via FTP (see
ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/CTAN.sites) and often
reproduced on CDROMs.
TDS: TeX Directory Structure: a recommended directory structure
for TeX installations. See
ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/tds.
