Abstract
--------

The `listings' package is a source code printer for LaTeX.
You can typeset stand alone files as well as listings with
an environment similar to  `verbatim' as well as you can
print code snippets using a command similar to \verb'.
Many parameters control the output and if your preferred
programming language isn't already supported, you can make
your own definition.

For more details read the documentation `listings.dvi'.


Quick Installation Guide
------------------------

0) If your TeX distribution comes with an update wizard,
   package manager, or anything similar, use that program
   to install or update the package. Otherwise follow
   the step below.

1) Following the TeX directory structure (TDS), you should
   put the files of the `listings' package into directories
   as follows:

     texmf/doc/latex/listings
       listings.dvi            

     texmf/source/latex/listings (or a temporary directory)
       listings.dtx
       listings.ins
       lstdrvrs.dtx
       lstpatch.sty (if you have a patch file)

   If you don't use the TDS, adjust the directories below.

2) Create `texmf/tex/latex/listings' or remove all files
   except `lst????0.sty' and `lstlocal.cfg' from that
   directory.

3) Go to the directory `texmf/source/latex/listings' and
   run `listings.ins' through TeX or LaTeX.

4) Move all .sty and .cfg of the current directory to
   `texmf/tex/latex/listings', if this is not already done.

5) If your TeX implementation uses a filename database,
   update it.

6) If you receive a patch file later on, put it where
   `listings.sty' is (and update file name database).

Note that `listings' requires at least version 1.10 of
`keyval' included in David Carlisle's `graphics' bundle.
You can download it from

    CTAN: macros/latex/required/graphics

You'll have to run  graphics.ins  through TeX.
