README for the `ncctools' bundle, release 2.03  (March 2002)
===============================================================

This `bundle' consists of LaTeX2e packages written and supported by
Alexander I. Rozhenko.

The documented source code of some packages is in files with extension
`.dtx'.  Other packages are not full documented yet.  They present as
files with extension `.sty'.  To install the bungle, run

  latex ncctools.ins

It will produce the package files from all `.dtx' files.
The files with extensions `.sty' should then be moved to a directory
on LaTeX's standard input path.


NOTE (docstrip version)
***********************
****
**** If   latex ncctools.ins
**** produces the `docstrip interactive mode' prompt:
****
****   * First type the extension of your input file(s):  *
****   \infileext=
****
**** Then your version of docstrip is too old.
**** Quit (eg by hitting `enter' to all questions) and get a newer
**** docstrip.tex. It must be at least version 2.4.
****
**** A suitable docstrip.tex may be found from `CTAN' archives such as
**** ftp.dante.de   tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked/docstrip.tex
****
**** Docstrip is part of the base LaTeX distribution, so if you have
**** an old docstrip then your LaTeX is out of date and you may consider
**** getting the whole of that directory and re-installing LaTeX.
**** However you need to fetch only the file docstrip.tex to unpack
**** this tools distribution with your existing format.


Documentation for the individual documented packages may then be
obtained by running LaTeX on the `.dtx' files.

For example:

  latex manyfoot.dtx

will produce the file manyfoot.dvi, documenting the manyfoot package.

Copyright is maintained by A. Rozhenko.
