1 INTRODUCTION
==============
This package puts running, customizable thumb marks in the
outer margin, moving downward as the chapter number (or
whatever shall be marked by the thumb marks) increases.
Additionally an overview page/table of thumb marks can be
added automatically, which gives the respective names of the
thumbed objects, the page where the object/thumb mark first
appears, and the thumb mark itself at the respective
position. The thumb marks are probably useful for documents,
where a quick and easy way to find e.g. a chapter is needed,
for example in reference guides, anthologies, or quite
large documents.
2 DOWNLOAD
==========
`thumbs' is available on CTAN:
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/thumbs/
Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files, already
sorted in a TDS tree:
CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/thumbs.tds.zip
`CTAN:' means one of the `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network'
nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives
The CTAN stuff will be mirrored automatically from the
ftp server, so
ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/thumbs/
corresponds to
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/thumbs/
3 INSTALLATION
==============
Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
----------------------------------------
The ZIP file `thumbs.tds.zip' contains the files sorted
in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file
inside a TDS tree.
(See CTAN:tds.zip for an explanation of TDS.)
Example:
cd /...somewhere.../texmf
unzip /...downloadpath.../thumbs.tds.zip
Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this
TDS tree.
Example:
texhash /...somewhere.../texmf
Manual installation
-------------------
a) Download the thumbs files from CTAN or the TUG server.
If necessary, unpack them.
b) Generate the package and driver files:
tex thumbs.ins
c) Install the file `*.sty' in your TDS tree:
cp *.sty TDS:tex/latex/thumbs/
Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree
(texmf directory).
d) Copy the documentation files to
"TDS:doc/latex/thumbs/":
README, thumbs.pdf, thumbs-example.tex,
thumbs-example.pdf.
e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for teTeX:
mktexlsr .../texmf
4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
=====================
Depending on the driver and option settings, thumbs loads
other packages: kvoptions, atbegshi, xcolor, picture,
alphalph, pagesLTS, rerunfilecheck, ifthen, and warning,
which again load other packages
(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file
of the example).
5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
=======================
thumbs should be loaded AFTER the required packages,
but loding it before those packages schould be possible,
too.
6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER

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 informations 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". Then
a list of version informations 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!
