installation guide (in one form or another) *before* you click that
install button.)  *.bin is smaller than *.hqx

NEW!  Today, February 23 1996, I can say that no-one has 
complained about this package.  Therefore I have gone to the 
trouble of making an installer.

The installer will need to be pointed at your Textures folder.
Not a subfolder!  The button at the bottom of the installer-
pointer-dialog box should say "Install into `Textures'".

The installer does not contain the CTAN files.  The babel
package is included in its un-unpacked form.  Most of the
notes above still pertain, especially the one about flattening.

Let me know if there's anything wrong!

More notes:
As of 4/23, there are some Adobe pdf files of the LaTeX2e install guides
available.  One's made by PDFWriter and is about 300K.  It looks
pretty good on screen, but has some problems which don't go away
in the printout.  The smaller one was made by Distiller, looks crazy
on screen, but prints fine.
