This file is part of the DINBRIEF package
It may be distributed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public
License (LPPL), as described in lppl.txt in the base LaTeX distribution.
Either version 1.1 or, at your option, any later version.
The latest version of this license is in
http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
LPPL Version 1.1 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX
version 1999/06/01 or later.
For error reports in case of UNCHANGED versions see readme files.
Please do not request updates from us directly. Distribution is
done through Mail-Servers, TeX organizations and others.
If you receive only some of these files from someone, complain!
Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that all files
listed in the corresponding package README file are distributed
including this readme file.
However, if these files are distributed by established suppliers as
part of a complete TeX distribution, and the structure of the
distribution would make it difficult to distribute the whole set of
files, *those parties* are allowed to distribute only some of the
files provided that it is made clear that the user will get a
complete distribution-set upon request to that supplier (not me).
Notice that this permission is not granted to the end user.
Generation and distribution of changed versions:
The generation of changed versions of the files included in the
packages is allowed under the following restrictions:
- You rename the file before you make any changes to it.
- You acknowledge the origin of the original version in the file and
keep the information that it (or a changed version) has to be
distributed under the restrictions mentioned in this file.
- You change the ERROR REPORT address so that we don't get error
reports for files *not* maintained by us.
The distribution of changed versions of the files included in the
packages is allowed under the following restrictions:
- You provide the user with information how to obtain the original
package or, even better, distribute it with your files.
- You make sure that the changed versions contain a notice that
prevents others to take money for distribution or use of your
files, i.e. they have to be distributed under the restrictions
mentioned in this file.
- You inform us that you created a changed version of the files.
This is only necessary if you want to distribute it to others.
2. ERROR REPORTS
================
Before you report an error please check that
- the error is not already mentioned in the *.bug file of the
distribution. (In this case it is a feature :-)
- the error isn't caused by obsolete versions of other software;
LaTeX from 1986 is a good candidate ...
- you use an original version of the package.
If you think you found a genuine bug please report it together
with the following information:
- version of the file
- version (date!) of your LaTeX
- a short test file showing the behavior with all unnecessary
code removed.
- a transcript (log file) of the session that shows the error.
Please note that it is important to make the file as small as possible
to allow us to find and fix the error soon.

3. FILES IN THIS DISTRIBUTION
=============================
You should get the following files:
dinbrief.dtx `dinbrief' class/style for LaTeX in docstrip format.
readme This File
dinbrief.ins This is the installation script that will produce
the executable files in this package and the driver
files for the documentation when run through LaTeX
or TeX.
4. INSTALLATION
===============
To produce the executable files please run dinbrief.ins through LaTeX or
TeX, i.e., say
latex dinbrief.ins
or whatever is necessary to process a file with LaTeX on your
system. This will generate all necessary files. If you already have
older versions of the files, the script will ask whether or not you
want to overwrite those versions. Note, that the script calls
docstrip.tex internally which is distributed with LaTeX.
This script will produce the following files:
dinbrief.cls The dinbrief class file for LaTeX2e.
dinbrief.sty The dinbrief style file for LaTeX 2.09.
dinbrief.cfg A sample configuration file for the dinbrief class
for LaTeX2e.
dinbrief.drv The driver file for producing the Users Guide
and the documentation.
dinbrief.tex The Users Guide.
dintab.tex A list of available commands.
example.tex An example of a letter (needs brfkopf.tex).
brfkopf.tex An example letter head.
brfbody.tex LaTeX input file for the testXXXX.tex files.
test10.tex Files for testing the class/style.
test11.tex "
test12.tex "
testnorm.tex "
dbold.tex letter with R. Sengerlings commands.
To produce the documentation run the corresponding driver files
through LaTeX. You are allowed to change the driver files to get a
special layout, etc.

dinbrief – German letter DIN style
Implements a document layout for writing letters according to the rules of DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung, German standardisation institute). A style file for LaTeX 2.09 (with limited support of the features) is part of the package. Since the letter layout is based on a German standard, the user guide is written in German, but most macros have English names from which the user can recognize what they are used for. In addition there are example files showing how letters may be created with the package.
A graphical interface for use of the dinbrief is provided in the dinbrief-GUI bundle.
