README for minitoc.sty version 27 (20Dec1996)
=============================================
NOTE: the file minitoc.sty.good (version 13)
is obsolete and must be destroyed.

Version #16 corrects typos in version #15
and a problem with ``markboth'' (headers).

Version #17 tries to allow compatibility
with latex2e. This will be the LAST version
usable under latex2.09. It runs also under
latex2e.

Version #17 adds the ``n'' key as synonym
for ``e'' as optional argument of some commands.
It add also keywords starchapter, starsection,
etc. for use with \addcontentsline in a \chapter*.

Version #18 is the first version specific for
the new version of LaTeX (2e patch 2 and after).

Version #19 adds the possibility to begin
your document with Chapter N (N=1 by default,
but now N may be 0, 7, etc., as you like).
Idem for the first part or the first section
(in articles).
Correction for appendices in articles.
Correction in mtcswedish.sty.

Version #20

minitoc.sty is useful to add mini-tables-of-contents (minitocs)
at the beginning of every chapter. They are also minilofs and minilots.
At the part level, they are parttocs, partlofs and partlots.
If the type of document does not use chapters, they are
section level secttocs, sectlofs and sectlots.

INSTALLATION:
1- Retrieve ALL the files of this package in a virgin directory.
2- If your operating system allows long extensions to
   filenames, (like UNIX), verify that the definition of
   \SHORTEXT is commented out, then go to step 3. If it allows
   only extensions of 3 characters (like MS-DOS), edit the file
   minitoc.sty and uncomment the definition of \SHORTEXT (remove
   the leading % from that line).
3- Put ALL *.sty files in the directory in which you
   put the LaTeX styles, and give the read access for everybody.
4- Edit the file minitoc.tex if you have not the manfnt font.
   Instructions are given in the beginning of this file.
5- Run LaTeX three times (yes, 3) on minitoc.tex and print
   minitoc.dvi with your dvi driver.
6- Read carefully this documentation.
7- Play with the toy documents minitoc-ex.tex and mini-art.tex,
   using various parameters...
   Distribute the documentation to users.
8- Send me your comments, complaints (with a short example) to the 
   address below, by e-mail.
