OVERVIEW
--------
Package xlop proposes two main features.  First, xlop prints
operations (displayed or running), that is, user write only
operands.  Second, xlop is able to deal with unlimited numbers, in
fact, limitations are due to TeX memory.  This features include
basic arithmetic operations, input/ouput, numeric variables, tests,
and some high level operation (without operations which imply infinite
processing such roots, exponential, trigonometric functions, etc.).

DISTRIBUTION
------------
Contents
--------
Distribution consists of files:
  * README (the file you are reading)
  * LISEZ.MOI (same in french)
  * XLOP03 indicates what features the next version should be provide
  * history.txt relates project history
  * manual.sty package file to compile fr-user.tex
  * fr-user.tex xlop user's manual input file
  * fr-user.pdf xlop user's manual
  * xlop.tex xlop code
  * xlop.sty allow the use of xlop as LaTeX package

Installation
------------
xlop can be used under TeX or LaTeX.  Thus, TDS recommendations are
that the best place to put files (xlop.tex and xlop.sty) is
[texmf]/tex/generic/xlop/.

For documentation files (README, history.txt, manual.sty, and
fr-user.*), best place should be [texmf]/doc/generic/xlop/.

You have just to run texhash command (or mktexlsr, or ...) to refresh
your texmf base and all should work fine.

BUGS AND TROUBLES
-----------------------------
If you detect some bug, whatever its seriousness (that could be just
spurious spaces), try to illustre this error with an example as short
as possible.  Particularly, don't use unecessary package.  Sent your
code with a short explanation at:
