# README,v 1.14 1995/02/18 16:56:27 ohl Exp
########################################################################
This is feynmf, a combined LaTeX/Metafont package for easy drawing
of professional quality Feynman diagrams. feynmf lays out most
diagrams satisfactorily from the structure of the graph without
any need for manual intervention. Nevertheless all the power of
Metafont is available for the most obscure cases. See the
documentation for appetizers, examples and more details.
Anyway, you are invited to share, use, abuse, and improve it, see
the file COPYING for details.
Enjoy,
-Thorsten

Installation:
You need a recent LaTeX (LaTeX2e, as of June 1994 is sufficient) to
use feynmf, docstrip.tex to install it and doc.sty to typeset the
documentation. If it is not already on your system, you can get
all this (and much more) from your nearest CTAN host.
To install, either use the Makefile or use the installation file
feynmf.ins:
$ latex feynmf.ins
then you can typeset the documentation by
$ latex fmfman.drv
$ mf '\mode:=laserjet; input fmfsampl'
$ latex fmfman.drv
$ makeindex -s gind.ist -o fmfman.ind fmfman.idx
$ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o fmfman.gls fmfman.glo
$ latex fmfman.drv
or by using the Makefile (`make man'). That's it.
There is another installation file for LaTeX 2.09 compatible
versions: feynmf209.ins.
########################################################################
There have been reports that the two LaTeX pictures in the
introduction are too big for memory starved MS-DOG systems. You
can use your favorite text editor to remove them, they're not
really essential (you can mail me for a PostScript file -- or you
can install Linux, the latter will cure your memory problems :-).

Comments, bug reports and improvements are welcome at:
Thorsten.Ohl@Physik.TH-Darmstadt.de
(aka: ohl@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de)
New versions can be found in:
crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de:/pub/ohl/feynmf
or at CTAN:
{ftp.shsu.edu,ftp.tex.ac.uk,ftp.dante.de}:
... macros/latex/contrib/supported/feynmf
There are two mailing lists
feynmf-announce@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
feynmf-bugs@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
both are open for subscription. The former should be very low
volume and carry only important announcements. The latter can
serve as a more general discussion forum.
To subscribe, send mail to
majordomo@crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de
and NOT to the lists itself. The following commands (on a line in
the body of the mail, not in the subject) are useful: `subscribe
feynmf-announce', `unsubscribe feynmf-bugs', `help', etc.
