=============================== OVERVIEW =======================================

Army_tex is a set of LaTeX classes for U.S. Army documents, compliant with
AR 25-50.  The army_tex package provides classes to create memorandums
and letters.

Examples of the use of these classes can be found in memo.tex and
letter.tex.

new (1) templates for generating memos and letters are included in this
package.  These templates make use of the following environment variables:

ARMY_ADDRESS_1 -- First line of one's Army mailing address.
ARMY_ADDRESS_2 -- Second line of one's Army mailing address.
RANK -- One's fully written out rank, ie: Staff Sergeant.
SHORT_RANK -- One's abbreviated rank, ie: SSG.
SHORT_BRANCH -- One's abbreviated branch, ie: SC.
ARMY_POSITION -- One's position, ie: Platoon Leader.
ARMY_OFFICE -- One's office symbol.


=============================== BUILDING =======================================

To build, cross your fingers and try:

./configure
make
make install

Review the new templates templates/tex/army_memo and and
templates/tex/army_letter and install into /usr/share/new/templates
(or wherever your new templates reside -- see new (1)).

After installing let LaTeX know about the new classes.  The LaTeX
distribution I use, teTeX, provides a program called `mktexlsr` to
do this.

Read the ``INSTALL'' file for generic detailed information on installing
this program.
