Lout 3.13
    Win32 binary distribution (compiled with MS VC++ 5.0)
    by Valeriy E. Ushakov <address@hidden>


A link to this distribution can be found from the Lout home page:

    http://www.ptc.spbu.ru/~uwe/lout/lout.html


There are four archives:

        lt313w32.zip	- core distribution
	lt313col.zip	- binaries compiled with collation support
	lt313dps.zip	- preformatted documentation (PostScript)
	lt313dlt.zip	- documentation sources

All archives unpack into the Lout\3.13 hierarchy where all of the
distribution resides.  Hardcoded library directory is `C:\Lout\3.13',
so to use this default you should unpack archives into the root of
drive C.  Use LOUTLIB environment variable if you want to install this
distribution in a different place.

Please be careful to keep text files text and binary files binary when
unpacking!  Also note that your own documents and databases must be
text files.


* lt313w32.zip:

    This is the core distribution that contains everything you need to
    run Lout.  Index files for the standard database and compressed
    hyphenation patterns are prebuilt, so you are ready to go right
    after unpacking.

    Two lout binaries are provided in lt313w32 are:

	lout.exe	- without debugging support
	loutdbg.exe	- with lout debugging (i.e. -d flag)


* lt313col.zip:

    Contains just the two binaries that use collation:

	loutcoll.exe	- collating, without debugging
	loutcdbg.exe	- collating, with lout debugging

    NOTE WELL: if you are going to use collating binaries, you will
	have to rebuild the .li files in data subdirectory because
	collation sequence for ASCII is not the ASCIIbetical order.

	    del c:\lout\3.13\data\*.li
	    loutcoll -x c:\lout\3.13\include\init

	You can NOT use collating and non-collating binaries together
	and you can NOT run collating binaries in different locales
	(regional settings).


* lt313dps.zip:

    Preformatted documentation (PostScript, A4).  You need this unless
    you either know Lout by heart or prefer RTFS to RTFM.


* lt313dlt.zip:

    Lout sources for the documentation.  You need this if your printer
    is not A4 (America, go metric!).  This is also a good place to
    look for examples of almost everything - Jeff's Lout code is
    stylish.
