+ The `mdwtools' collection copyright (c) 2003 Mark Wooding. It
+ is free software. You are allowed (and encouraged) to share it
+ with your friends, or sell it to people. You may modify and
+ redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public
+ License, either version 2 or (at your option) any later version.
+ See the file `COPYING' for details. There's a pretty formatted
+ version in `gpl.tex'.
+
+ Clarification: I do /not/ consider that a document which uses
+ `mdwtools' is a `derived work'. Hence, authors need not provide
+ source to their documents just because they use `mdwtools'.
+ However, I encourage authors to share their LaTeX sources, even
+ if they're as grim as mine.
+
+
+Overview
+
+ For details about what the packages do, please read the individual
+ documentation. This is just a quick overview.
+
+ at.sty Define @-commands, just like you currently can
+ with \-commands. The advantage is that nobody's
+ already taken all the short names.
+
+ centre.sty Commands like \centre, for those of us who write
+ English.
+
+ cmtt.sty Typeset stuff in a typewriter face and use all
+ the fancy characters, without messing with
+ `verbatim' stuff.
+
+ colour.sty Like `color.sty', only with English spellings.
+
+ crypto.sty A grab-bag of stuff for writing crypto papers.
+ There's some simple algorithm typesetting and
+ some macros for typesetting some standard
+ notations.
+
+ doafter.sty A TeXnician's tool. \doafter<token>{...}
+ expands <token> after the {...} group is done,
+ including any \aftergroup tokens attached to
+ it. This is largely useful to deal with colour
+ hacking.
+
+ exercise.sty Typeset exercises, and keep the answers to the
+ end. Handles numbering the answers properly,
+ and inserting section titles in the answers
+ section.
+
+ footnote.sty A `footnote' environment for complex or long
+ footnotes; saving footnotes in tables and
+ parboxes. Sadly incompatible with Robin
+ Fairbairns's `footmisc'.
+
+ mathenv.sty Some mathematical alignment environments.
+ Replaces `eqnarray' with a good version; does
+ very good matrix typesetting. Documented in
+ `mdwtab.dtx'.
+
+ mdwkey.sty A TeXnician's tool. Like `keyval.sty', but
+ better -- more features, more correct behaviour
+ with braces.
+
+ mdwlist.sty Some simple list hacking. A versatile
+ `description' list; suspend and resume
+ enumerations; compactify lists by removing
+ vertical spacing between items.
+
+ mdwmath.sty A grab-bag of mathematical things. Square roots
+ without the overlines; fix spacing for \pmod in
+ running text; neato new generalized-fraction
+ thing; fix \bigg... to adjust with text size; a
+ bad \qed implementation. (Also contains an
+ earlier replacement for `eqnarray'.)
+
+ mdwtab.sty The flagship: a replacement for LaTeX's
+ `tabular' and `array' environments. Too many
+ improvements to list here. Highlights: correct
+ handling of lists in p{...} columns; good
+ vertical spacing around rules; correct vertical
+ alignment of ruled tables. Now supports
+ coloured tables (in `mtcolour.sty').
+
+ mdwthm.sty Theorem typesetting. Nothing earthshattering; I
+ just use it in my documents. Comes with a
+ theorem style to hang the numbers in the
+ margins.
+
+ mtcolor.sty Like `mtcolour.sty' (below) for Americans.
+
+ mtcolour.sty The colour support module for `mdwtab.sty'.
+ Documented in `mdwtab.dtx'.
+
+ poetry.sty Relatively straightforward typesetting for
+ poems, centred in the page. More a pile of
+ infrastructure than something immediately
+ usable.
+
+ slowbox.sty Skipping over boxes which are slow to draw.
+
+ svcolor.sty Like `svcolour.sty' (below) for Americans.
+
+ svcolour.sty The colour support module for `sverb.sty'.
+ Documented in `sverb.dtx'.
+
+ sverb.sty Verbatim-like commands and environments.
+ Supports `tab' characters; reads stuff from
+ files; writes stuff to files. Neato `demo'
+ environment for showing off LaTeX packages. Now
+ has colour support.
+
+ svsplit.sty Word-wrapping verbatim environment. Documented
+ in `sverb.dtx'.
+
+ syntax.sty Former flagship. Typesets grammars and syntax
+ diagrams.
