This file is: iso/README

    This directory contains sources for LaTeX class and package
files for producing ISO standard documents in general.
Several parts of ISO 10303 have been published by ISO from
camera ready copy generated from the macros in this directory.

    Many editors of ISO documents do not have the latest version
of LaTeX. Therefore, both LaTeX2e and LaTeX v2.09 are supported.
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:
isoe.ins    Installation script for isoe.dtx
isoe.dtx    Commented source of ISO general LaTeX files
isosty.tex  User manual for ISO general 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 ISO documents from the initial
release LaTeX files.

o The commands \standard{}, \yearofedition{} and \languageofedition{}
  must be put in the preamble (otherwise the running heads get messed up).

o Several new clause heading commands have been introduced.

o The \example{}, \note{} and \anote{} commands have been changed into
  environments (e.g. \begin{example} ... \end{example} instead of
  \example{...}).

o The start of the `Normative references' clause has been changed.

o A new landscape environment is provided that prints all enclosed
  pages in landscape mode rather than portrait mode.

o A new environment is provided that automatically splits lon
  tables across pages.

o The parameters to the \reference command have changed
