1 INTRODUCTION
==============
This LaTeX package puts the label LastPage at the end of the document
into the .aux file, allowing the user to refer to the last page
of a document. This might be particularly useful in places
like headers or footers. -
When more than one page numbering scheme is used, or another package
has output after this package, or the number of pages
instead of the last page's name is needed, or the page
numbers exceed a certain range, there might be problems,
which can be solved by using the pageslts package instead
[which needs updating to current LaTeX-format and therefore might fail].

2 DOWNLOAD
==========
"lastpage" is available on CTAN:
https://ctan.org/pkg/lastpage
Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files:
the manual (lastpage.pdf), the example (lastpage-example.tex),
the compiled example (lastpage-example.pdf),
driver (lastpage.drv), lastpage.dtx,
installation file (lastpage.ins),
the style files (lastpage.sty, lastpage209.sty, lastpage2e.sty,
lastpageclassic.sty, lastpagemodern.sty),
and this README, already sorted in a TDS tree:
https://mirror.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/lastpage.tds.zip
3 INSTALLATION
==============
Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
----------------------------------------
The ZIP file "lastpage.tds.zip" contains the files
sorted in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the
ZIP file inside a TDS tree.
See https://ctan.org/TDS-guidelines for an explanation
of TDS.
Example:
cd /...somewhere.../texmf
unzip /...downloadpath.../lastpage.tds.zip
Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this
TDS tree.
Example:
texhash /...somewhere.../texmf
Manual installation
-------------------
a) Download the lastpage files from CTAN.
If necessary, unpack them.
b) Generate the package and driver files:
tex lastpage.dtx
c) Install the files "*.sty" in your TDS tree:
cp lastpage.sty TDS:tex/latex/lastpage/
cp lastpage209.sty TDS:tex/latex/lastpage/
cp lastpage2e.sty TDS:tex/latex/lastpage/
cp lastpageclassic.sty TDS:tex/latex/lastpage/
cp lastpagemodern.sty TDS:tex/latex/lastpage/
Replace "TDS:" by the prefix of your TDS tree
(texmf directory).
d) Create the documentation, if necessary, e.g.
pdflatex lastpage.dtx
makeindex -s gind.ist lastpage.idx
pdflatex lastpage.dtx
makeindex -s gind.ist lastpage.idx
pdflatex lastpage.dtx
e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for TeXLive
texhash or mktexlsr.
f) Create the lastpage-example.pdf, if necessary, e.g.
pdflatex lastpage-example.tex
pdflatex lastpage-example.tex
pdflatex lastpage-example.tex
g) Copy the documentation files to
"TDS:doc/latex/lastpage/":
README, lastpage.pdf, lastpage-example.tex,
lastpage-example.pdf.
4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
=====================
The lastpage package does not depend on other packages,
but the lastpage.dtx does (for unpacking and constructing
the documentation), see "7.1 Downloads" in the manual
https://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/lastpage/lastpage.pdf
5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
=======================
lastpage is not compatible with the ancient version 2.0
(and earlier) of the endfloat package. The recent version of
endfloat is available at https://ctan.org/pkg/endfloat
6 AUTHORS/MAINTAINER
====================
* Author of the original main code:
Jeffrey P. Goldberg (Thanks!)
* Author of the recent package and current maintainer:
H.-Martin Münch
7 BUG REPORTS
=============
A bug report should contain:
* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or
warning messages.
* \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the
TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages.
* Minimal test file that shows the problem,
but does not contain any unnecessary packages and code.
* Used drivers/programs.
* Version information about used packages and programs.
* If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles" to the document.
Then a list of version information is printed at the end
of the LaTeX run.
* Please no other files than the minimal test file.
The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom
necessary, so send them only on request.
* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them!
