This is the file `00readme.drp', which accompanies the `dropping' 
package distribution.  The package defines a command, `\dropping', 
which drops the first character(s) of a paragraph.  It is based on 
the `dropcaps.sty' file by Fred J. Lauwers.  `dropping' can be 
regarded as an automatization of `dropcaps'.  To obtain the userguide 
and documentation, run LaTeX on `dropping.dtx' after running LaTeX 
on `dropping.ins'.  

The `dropping' package consists of two files:
    dropping.ins   -  the installation driver
    dropping.dtx   -  the macro code and  instructions on how to use 
                      the package, in `docstrip'-able format. 
Anyone is free to re-distribute these files provided the restrictions
mentioned in 'dropping.ins' are obeyed.  These are mainly that the 
two files always must be distributed together and that noone is 
allowed to distribute the files for profit.  

Inquiries can be sent to:  <matsd@homenet.se>.
