-
- This is feynmf, a combined LaTeX/Metafont package for easy drawing
- of professional quality Feynman diagrams. feynmf lays out most
- diagrams satisfactorily from the structure of the graph without
- any need for manual intervention. Nevertheless all the power of
- Metafont is available for the most obscure cases. See the
- documentation for appetizers, examples and more details.
-
- Anyway, you are invited to share, use, abuse, and improve it, see
- the file COPYING for details.
-
- Enjoy,
- -Thorsten

- Installation:
-
- You need a recent LaTeX (LaTeX2e, as of June 1994 is sufficient) to
- use feynmf, docstrip.tex to install it and doc.sty to typeset the
- documentation. If it is not already on your system, you can get
- all this (and much more) from your nearest CTAN host.
-
- To install, either use the Makefile or use the installation file
- feynmf.ins:
-
- $ latex feynmf.ins
-
- then you can typeset the documentation by
-
- $ latex fmfman.drv
- $ mf '\mode:=laserjet; input fmfsampl'
- $ latex fmfman.drv
- $ makeindex -s gind.ist -o fmfman.ind fmfman.idx
- $ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o fmfman.gls fmfman.glo
- $ latex fmfman.drv
-
- or by using the Makefile (`make man'). That's it.
-
- There is another installation file for LaTeX 2.09 compatible
- versions: feynmf209.ins.
-
- ########################################################################
-
- There have been reports that the two LaTeX pictures in the
- introduction are too big for memory starved MS-DOG systems. You
- can use your favorite text editor to remove them, they're not
- really essential (you can mail me for a PostScript file -- or you
- can install Linux, the latter will cure your memory problems :-).

- Comments, bug reports and improvements are welcome at:
-
- Thorsten.Ohl@Physik.TH-Darmstadt.de
- (aka: ohl@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de)
-
- New versions can be found in:
-
- crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de:/pub/ohl/feynmf
-
- or at CTAN:
-
- {ftp.shsu.edu,ftp.tex.ac.uk,ftp.dante.de}:
- ... macros/latex/contrib/supported/feynmf
-
- There are two mailing lists
-
- feynmf-announce@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
- feynmf-bugs@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
-
- both are open for subscription. The former should be very low
- volume and carry only important announcements. The latter can
- serve as a more general discussion forum.
-
- To subscribe, send mail to
-
- majordomo@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
-
- and NOT to the lists itself. The following commands (on a line in
- the body of the mail, not in the subject) are useful: `subscribe
- feynmf-announce', `unsubscribe feynmf-bugs', `help', etc.
