Readme File for the package `localloc' by Bernd Raichle Copyright (C) 1991,1994,1995 Bernd Raichle. All rights reserved. The `localloc' package reimplements plain-TeX's basic allocation macros to allow local allocation of registers. It can be used with * plain-TeX, * LaTeX2e, * LaTeX 2.09, and all other formats which are based on plain-TeX. In the past people complained about the restriction of 256 registers imposed by TeX and want either more registers or a more clever way to maintain this limited resource. This package shows and implements a mechanism which doesn't remove this restrictions but allows local allocation of registers. Using this mechanism you can often replace global register allocations by ones local to a group allowing the register to be used for other purposes after the group is left. Installation: ------------- This package contains 2 files, namely * localloc.README This README file * localloc.dtx The docstrip archive file containing the source for the macro file `localloc.sty' and the documentation. To unpack the archive file you need `docstrip.tex' version 2.x or newer. You can find this file in the LaTeX2e release; it can be used with plain-TeX _and_ LaTeX. Run `localloc.dtx' through plainTeX or LaTeX to unpack the archive file: tex localloc.dtx or latex localloc.dtx This package is supported by Bernd Raichle Stettener Str. 73 D-73732 Esslingen, FRG Email: raichle@Informatik.Uni-Stuttgart.DE
