The abstract package gives you control over the typesetting of the
abstract environment, and in particular provides for a one column abstract
in a two column paper. 

    The distribution consists of the following files:
README (this file)
abstract.dtx
abstract.ins

    The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX
Project Public License (LPPL).

    To install the package:
o run: latex abstract.ins (which will generate abstract.sty)
o run: latex abstract.dtx
o For an index, run: makeindex -s gind.ist abstract
o run: latex abstract.dtx
o Print abstract.dvi for a hardcopy of the user manual 
o Move abstract.sty to a location where LaTeX will find it.
