This is the final release of REFMAN.DTX for LaTeX2e. 
[1996/12/01]

Since I'm going to loose Internet access in the near future, you may have 
problems getting support. Nevertheless try a.kielhorn@tu-bs.de, I'll answer 
if I get the message.

Version 2.0

It is based on the Classes.dtx (1.3p) and the Refman.sty version 
1.1.

This new class is a class by it's own and no style-option.
I've made this change to support some things which would have
been difficult with a style-option.

The new class consists of
refart.cls	an article-like style (former refman-s)
refrep.cls	a report-like style (former refman)

The size-depending files
ref10.clo
ref11.clo
ref12.clo
are no longer needed because size{10|11|12} will be used now.

There is only little difference between refart and refrep:

Refrep supports chapters, has a titlepage by default and uses
chaptermark and sectionmark in footings and headings.
Refrep supports \pageperchapter

Refart supports an optional titlepage and uses sectionmark
and subsectionmark in footings and headings.

Changes:
========

Both classes support different papersizes in the same way as the
original LaTeX2e-classes, including the landscape option.
There is a new option to produce a square-layout.

The pagelayout is not 100% compatible to refman.sty due to the
multiple-papersize-support.
The running head and foot is not compatible to refman.sty.

I've changed the footnote-layout since a not indended footnote-
layout fits better to a not indended textlayout.

I've tried to support an index-environment.
The index is set in twocolumn-layout.

The maketitle-command sets title *and* autor *and* date. If you
don't want the date use \date{} before calling \maketitle.

I've followed the example of Markus Kohm and renamed the classes
to refart.cls and refrep.cls. Thus it is easier to remember what is
what and it can't be confused with refman.sty

Obsolete commands:
==================

The command setleftmarginwidth is no longer supported. There is no
use setting the leftmargin to a fixed value if you don't know
the fullwidth. (See Future commands)

The makeauthor is no longer supported, this is done by maketitle.

New commands (not in refman.sty v. 1.1)
=======================================
There are some commands I consider usefull in a reference
manual style:

\pageperchapter
This will give you new pagenumbers each chapter,
looking like 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1 ...
Prefacepages will be numberer 1,2,3 since 0-1 is not desireable.
The pagepc-package will implement this for the LaTeX-standard 
classes. (This is still experimental and does not work well
with MakeIndex)

A hack to make MakeIndex happy is included, but sadly MakeIndex
can no longer use the "|" command anymore since it is used to
format the indexentries.

\settextfraction{fraction}
This will reset the horizontal layout, giving you a textwidth
of fraction*fullwidth. The restriction to lines with 60-70 chars has
been removed.

Both commands should only be used in the preamble.

History:
========

1.9 a Included redefinition of pagestyle{plain} for twoside printing
1.9 b Refman now works with LaTeX2e [1994/06/01] and is in sync
      with classes 1.2 s
1.9 c Fixed refman: There should be an opening { in markright
      (every pagestyle, except for plain and empty)
      Moved changing of topmargin inside ps definition
1.9 d Fixed the pagestyles for oneside printing
      Changed chapter layout (uses fullwidth now)
      Changed typeout to ClassError where needed
1.9 e Renamed refman to refrep and refman-s to refart.
      Cleaned up fullwidth-environment, now it works on
      even-sides too:-)
      Added \pageperchapter to refrep.cls
      Added \settextfraction
      Removed ref{10|11|12}.clo. Refman is now using the
      size{10|11|12}.clo files.
1.9 f Synced with classes.dtx v. 1.2x
      Ref{art,rep} needs now LaTeX2e[1994/12/01]
      Pagestyle plain does not center the pagenumber, it is 
      always printed at the outside-margin.
      Documentation added (layout.tex layout2.tex)
1.9 g Final test release synced with LaTeX2e[1995/06/01]
      (Classes.dtx v.1.3e)
      Pagestyle plain did center the pagenumber in one-side
      documents, fixed it this time.
      Fixed fullpage-environment to reset leftmarginwidth and 
      set hsize to the correct value. (You may now start a new 
      chapter inside a fullpage environment.(Not encouraged))
      Made settextfraction an onlypreamble-command.
      Changed the \pageperchapter-command and included pagepc.sty
      which can be used with other LaTeX2e-classes (like report 
      and scrreprt) In pageperchapter-mode, the index will be in 
      a chapter of it's own and no longer belong to the last 
      appendix.
1.9 h Corrected some typos where the a in normalfont was missing
      Added my e-mail address to the dtx-file, so bug reports can
      reach me faster. Corrected typo in condbreak (There is seems to
      be at least one user who uses it)
      Synced with classes 1.3p, thus saving some memory.
1.9 i Corrected footnote in titlepage (refart only)
      Removed . after the chapternumber.
      Changed format of chapter-title. It now hangs after the
      chapter number.
1.9 k Corrected appendix in refrep. Now the chapter-counter is used
      to generate the chapter-number
1.9 l Again fixes to to the footnote-layout of refart. Now titlepage
      and normal text use the same code.      
1.9 m Added a forgotten \ to listfigurename
2.0   Synced with Classes 1.3u
