User Documentation
==================
grfguide.tex    User Guide to all the packages in this bundle.
                WARNING: 
                This file calls color and graphics packages
                without a driver option. 
                You *must* set up two files 
                                 color.cfg and graphics.cfg
                containing (for example)
                                \ExecuteOptions{dvips}
                Before running this file.

=============================================

TO UNPACK THE PACKAGES
======================

latex graphics.ins

This will produce the 

.sty package files
.def driver files.


NOTE (docstrip version)
***********************
****
**** If   latex graphics.ins
**** produces the `docstrip interactive mode' prompt:
****
****   * First type the extension of your input file(s):  *
****   \infileext=
****
**** Then your version of docstrip is too old.
**** Quit (eg by hitting `enter' to all questions) and get a newer
**** docstrip.tex. It must be at least version 2.4.
****
**** A suitable docstrip.tex may be found from `CTAN' archives such as
**** ftp.dante.de   tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked/docstrip.tex
****
**** Docstrip is part of the base LaTeX distribution, so if you have
**** an old docstrip then your LaTeX is out of date and you may consider
**** getting the whole of that directory and re-installing LaTeX.
**** However you need to fetch only the file docstrip.tex to unpack
**** this graphics distribution with your existing format.

=============================================

USING THE PACKAGES
==================

Move files ending in .sty .def  to a standard TeX input directory.

Make a default option for your site by creating two files
     color.cfg and graphics.cfg
containing (if dvips is your default driver)
\ExecuteOptions{dvips}

You may then LaTeX the user guide:
latex grfguide.tex.

==============================================

MAIN CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE

dvipdfm driver added.
New package option in keyval to control error handling.
Distribution Notice changed to refer to LPPL.
