IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You are not allowed to change this readme file.
For distribution of unchanged and changed versions see file readme.mz.
This is the multicol package that contains the multicol.sty option for
producing multi-column output with standard LaTeX. To generate
executable files from this package you need the utility programs
docstrip and doc.sty which are contained in the doc package mz0.
You should get the following files:
multicol.doc `multicolumn' style for LaTeX, you have to run this
through the docstrip.tex program to produce the
corresponding style file.
readme.mz File that describes distribution restrictions and
gives a short overview about other distributions from
Mainz.
readme.mz1 This file.
install.mz1 This is the installation script that will produce
the executable files in this package and the driver
files for the documentation.
To produce the executable files please run install.mz1 through LaTeX or
TeX, i.e., say
latex install.mz1
or whatever is necessary to run process a file with LaTeX on your
system. This will generate all necessary files. If you already have
older versions of the files, the script will ask whether or not you
want to overwrite those versions. Note, that the script calls
docstrip.tex internally which is distributed in the doc package (MZ0).
This script will produce the following files:
multicol.sty The multicol style option for LaTeX.
multicol.drv The driver file for producing the documentation.
To produce the documentation run the corresponding driver files
through LaTeX. You are allowed to change the driver files to get a
special layout, etc. To get an index and history listing run the idx
and glo files through the program MAKEINDEX. MAKEINDEX should be part
of every LaTeX installation.
Please note that you need to specify a style file for MAKEINDEX:
gind.ist for the index file (result should be named *.ind)
gglo.ist for the history file (result should be named *.gls)
Sample invocation for Unix:
makeindex -s gind.ist multicol
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o multicol.gls multicol.glo
The \fileversion and \filedate lines below are generated so that you can
easily check differences from your version by using diff etc.
