TOPtesi bundle version 5.80 of 2014/10/05
Copyright 2014 Claudio Beccari
LaTeX Project Public Licence LPPL v.1.3 (or later)

The TOPtesi bundle contains everything is needed for typesetting a
bachelor, master or PhD thesis in Italian (or in any other language
supported by LaTeX: the bundle is constructed to support multi-language
use).

The infix strings may be selected and specified at will by means
of a configuration file, so as to customise the information of the
front page to the requirements of a specific university and a specific
language.

Thanks to its language management, the bundle is suited for
multi-language theses that are more and more frequent thanks
to the double degree programs of the European Union Erasmus programs
or the Life Long Learning European programs.

This important upgrade is intended to be compliant also with XeLaTeX 
and LuaLaTeX; the documentation explains how to obtain PDF/A-1b 
archivable files from pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX. 
Since version number 5.70 this is a stable bundle, although some 
corrections are introduced from time to time. 

To say the whole truth, version 5.80 has been enhanced with few more 
class options that allow toptesi to be used with external packages 
for typesetting the title page with different styles.

For installation, if the package is not already installed in your
TeX system distribution, either read the Italian documentation in
toptesi-it-xetex.pdf or quickly decompress the toptesi.zip file 
and move all files to:

.../texmf/source/latex/toptesi.

Run pdflatex on toptesi.dtx in order to get the class, style and
configuration files (and the pdf documentation in English) and move
the .tex, .cls, .sty, .xmpdata, .ps  and .cfg files (including the
 example .tex files) to .../texmf/tex/latex/toptesi

Move the .txt and  .pdf files plus this README file to 
.../texmf/doc/latex/toptesi.

If the mentioned folders do not exist, create them.

For a personal installation, the /texmf folder is your personal 
texmf folder rooted in your home directory: ~ on Linux; ~/Library 
on Mac OS X; on a path with different names on different Windows 
systems, all of them containing in one form or another your login name.

If you are running a Windows platform change the slashes into backslashes
and prefix all paths with the drive letter and any other specific prefix
that is present in your texmf tree. In any case remember to refresh the 
filename database! 

If the package is already installed (it is with a complete TeXLive or 
complete MiKTeX TeX system distributions), the texmf folder should be the 
<prefix>/texmf-dist system one. But in this case you don't need to 
decompress anything and move files around. Possibly check if the 
CTAN repository contains a newer version and, in case, use your package 
manager to upgrade your installation, but don't ever move or change 
anything in the TeX system directories.
