Readme File for the package `localloc' by Bernd Raichle
Copyright (C) 1991,1994,1995 Bernd Raichle. All rights reserved.
The `localloc' package reimplements plain-TeX's basic allocation
macros to allow local allocation of registers. It can be used with
* plain-TeX,
* LaTeX2e,
* LaTeX 2.09,
and all other formats which are based on plain-TeX.
In the past people complained about the restriction of 256
registers imposed by TeX and want either more registers or a more
clever way to maintain this limited resource. This package shows
and implements a mechanism which doesn't remove this restrictions
but allows local allocation of registers. Using this mechanism
you can often replace global register allocations by ones local
to a group allowing the register to be used for other purposes
after the group is left.
Installation:
-------------
This package contains 2 files, namely
* localloc.README This README file
* localloc.dtx The docstrip archive file containing the
source for the macro file `localloc.sty'
and the documentation.
To unpack the archive file you need `docstrip.tex' version 2.x or
newer. You can find this file in the LaTeX2e release; it can be
used with plain-TeX _and_ LaTeX. Run `localloc.dtx' through
plainTeX or LaTeX to unpack the archive file:
tex localloc.dtx
or
latex localloc.dtx
