Among other things, it is useful for pictures and putting numbers on axes. multido.tex is compatible with most TeX macro packages. GETTING MULTIDO The complete multido.tex distribution is available in .tar.Z form from the /pub directory at Princeton.EDU. multido.tex is also available at various TeX archives. However, all you really need is multido.tex and md-doc.tex. FILES: multido.tex: The stripped input file. multido.sty: Same as multido.tex, but with .sty extension. multido.doc: Documented code, from which multido.tex was extracted. md-doc.dvi: Documentation, already typeset. md-doc.tex: The LaTeX file from which md-doc.dvi was generated. md-make.tex: For getting multido.tex from multido.doc. md-read.me: This file. PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION: Pages 1-4 of md-doc.dvi are the User's Guide. Pages 5-12 are the documentated code - probably not worth printing as there isn't much documentation. If this prints out OK for you, then you don't need to typeset md-doc.tex. INSTALLATION: Put multido.tex and multido.sty where your TeX looks for inputs. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% END md-read.me %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
