1 INTRODUCTION
==============
This package allows to compute the mass of a printed version of a
document, useful e.g. when sending it by mail to determine the postage.
Warning/Disclaimer: The mass of (printer's) ink has to be added and that
of envelope, address sticker, stamps,... Thus this is only an estimation
without guarantee - do not sue me, if you have got to pay excess postage!

2 DOWNLOAD
==========
`papermas' is available on CTAN:
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/papermas/
Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files, already
sorted in a TDS tree:
CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/papermas.tds.zip
`CTAN:' means one of the `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network'
nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives
The CTAN stuff will be mirrored automatically from the
ftp server, so
ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/papermas/
corresponds to
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/papermas/
3 INSTALLATION
==============
Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
----------------------------------------
The ZIP file `papermas.tds.zip' contains the files sorted
in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file
inside a TDS tree.
(See CTAN:tds.zip for an explanation of TDS.)
Example:
cd /...somewhere.../texmf
unzip /...downloadpath.../papermas.tds.zip
Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this
TDS tree.
Example:
texhash /...somewhere.../texmf
Manual installation
-------------------
a) Download the papermas files from CTAN or the TUG server.
If necessary, unpack them.
b) Generate the package and driver files:
tex papermas.ins
c) Install the file `*.sty' in your TDS tree:
cp *.sty TDS:tex/latex/papermas/
Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree
(texmf directory).
d) Copy the documentation files to
"TDS:doc/latex/papermas/":
README, papermas.pdf, papermas-example.tex,
papermas-example.pdf.
e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for teTeX:
mktexlsr .../texmf
4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
=====================
Depending on the driver and option settings, papermas loads
other packages:
* kvoptions.sty:
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/kvoptions.dtx
* intcalc.sty:
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/intcalc.dtx
* pageslts.sty:
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/pageslts/pageslts.dtx
which again load other packages
(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file
of the example).
5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
=======================
papermas should be loaded AFTER package pageslts.

7 BUG REPORTS
==============
A bug report should contain:
* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or
warning messages.
* \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the
TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages.
* Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not
contain any unnecessary packages and code.
* Used drivers/programs.
* Version information about used packages and programs.
* If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles". Then
a list of version information is printed at the end
of the LaTeX run.
* Please no other files than the minimal test file.
The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom
necessary, so send them only on request.
* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them!

8 KNOWN PROBLEMS
=================
TeX 2011/06/27 has changed \enddocument and
thus broken the \AtVeryVeryEnd command/hooking
of atveryend package as of 2011/04/23, v1.7.
Until it is fixed, \AtEndAfterFileList is used.
