- Doc.sty was written by Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf. An article
- about it has been published in TuGboat (I forgot which issue). It makes
- litterate programming of TeX code possible. The companion program,
- docstrip.tex is meant to convert such a `well documented' TeX program
- into a fast loadable TeX program by removing (almost) all comments
- from the code. These programs can be found on any good fileserver,
- their `home' as David Jones calls it in his macro index is in Stuttgart
- on rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de.
