DESCRIPTION:
	This LaTeX package attempts to implement the manuscript format
described in misc.writing's FAQ.
	In brief, the m.w FAQ says that manuscripts should look as if
they had been typed on a manual typewriter, to accomodate editors. I
happen to think this looks ugly, and would rather use LaTeX's
"article" class, so I wrote the "story" class. Normally, it looks like
a LaTeX "article"-class document, unless you include the "manuscript"
option at the top. Then it looks like what the m.w FAQ wants.

REQUIREMENTS:
	- LaTeX2e. If you have LaTeX 2.09, forget it. You probably
won't even be able to unpack this. So do yourself a favor and get
LaTeX2e. It's much cleaner anyway, and you'll be happier.

	- Donald Arsenau's "ulem" package. I've included it with this
distribution, but maybe you know of a more recent version. In this
case, use the newer version, or whatever works.

INSTALLATION:
	The "story" class is distributed as a LaTeX2e ".dtx" file,
which means that one file serves as both source and documentation.
	This distribution should include these files:
	README		This file
	story.ins	The unpacker
	story.dtx	The story class and its documentation
	ulem.sty	Donald Arsenau's "ulem" package.

	- Unpack the files:
		latex story.ins
This will read "story.dtx" and generate the files "story.cls" and
"manuscript.clo".

	- Install the files:
	Put "story.cls" and "manuscript.clo" wherever they belong.
Normally, they belong in the same directory as "article.cls", but
maybe you've customized your environment and wish to put them
somewhere else.

	- Install "ulem.sty".
	If you have a newer version than that included in this
distribution, use your existing version.

	- Generate the documentation:
		latex story.dtx
This should generate the file "story.dvi", which you can then print
out and read.
	This file also contains technical notes on the "story" class.
They are not printed out by default. If you wish to hack on "story",
you should be able to figure out what to change so that the tech notes
are also printed.

FEEDBACK:
	If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know,
especially if you are a published writer, an editor, or have experience
with this sort of thing.
	In particular, I'd like to know how to handle multiple authors
on the cover page.

	You can send me mail at

	Enjoy!
