Directory lout/doc/design

This directory contains the Lout source files
for the report entitled `The design and
implementation of the Lout document formatting
language'  which appeared in Software--Practice
and Experience, vol 23, pp1001-1041 (September
1993).  To produce the report, type the command

	lout -r3 all > outfile.ps

in this directory.  The -r3 flag causes Lout to
run over the document three times, which is
needed to completely resolve all cross references,
although a readable PostScript file outfile.ps
would be produced after one run if -r3 is omitted.
Auxiliary files with .li and .ld suffixes will be
created in this directory.  A copy of the final
outfile.ps is included.

The second and third runs should produce no error
messages (although changing the paper size might
produce one or two benign ones).
