This file is: iso10303/README

    This directory contains sources for LaTeX package files for 
producing ISO documents for ISO 10303, commonly known as STEP.
Several parts of ISO 10303 have been published by ISO from
camera ready copy generated from the macros in this directory.

    Even if you are not generating STEP documents, you may find
some of the facilities will give you ideas for your own documents.

    The package files require the use of the general LaTeX ISO
class and package files in directory ../iso.
The originals are maintained in directory /pub/step/latex/current
at ftp.cme.nist.gov or URL http://elib.cme.nist.gov:70


    The principal files are:
stepe.ins   Installation script for stepe.dtx
stepe.dtx   Commented source of STEP style files
stepsty.tex User manual for STEP files

    If you want your own working copies of of these files, copy the
above files to a directory of your own and then do the following.

o    To generate the working class/package/style files: 
  Run LaTeX2e on the .ins file(s). This will produce files with extensions
  .cls and/or .clo and/or .sty and/or .tex and/or .drv.

o    To generate typeset versions of the commented source file(s):
  Run LaTeX2e on the .dtx file(s), then process the resulting .dvi file(s)

o    To generate typeset versions of the user manuals:
  If not already done, generate the class/package/style files. Run LaTeX
  on the .tex files and print per normal.

   If you are willing to take a chance you could instead just add this
directory to your TEXINPUTS environment variable so as to pick up the
relevant class/style files automatically when you run LaTeX on your
documents.


CHANGES FROM 1st RELEASE LaTeX FILES
====================================

    The following is a (possibly incomplete) list of the changes to
the LaTeX commands for producing STEP documents from the STEP 1st
release LaTeX files to the post-1st release files. 

o There is now one general STEP style file and then specific separate
  styles for the following kinds of documents: IRs, APs, AICs, ATSs.

o Some changes to the cover sheet commands

o The parameters for the \Foreword and \endForeword commands have changed

o The parameters for the \Introduction command have changed

o The \stepparttitle command has changed

o Many new clause heading commands have been introduced
