 Abstract
--------------

This package provides an easy and flexible user interface
to customize page layout. It impliments auto-centering and
auto-balancing mechanisms so that the users have only to give 
the least description for the page size and location. This package
requires the `keyval' package (CTAN:macros/latex/packages/graphics).

 Installation
--------------

1) latex geometry.ins
	to get `geometry.sty' and `geometry.cfg'.
	Edit `geometry.cfg' if you need to set your default options
	for page geometry.

2) latex geometry.dtx
	to get the package document `geometry.dvi'.
	You need to latex it three times to get correct cross references.

3) latex gtest.tex
	and preview or printout the resulted gtest.dvi to check 
	if the package works well. The test file contains several
	examples for page geometry. 
	Before checking geometry package, I would strongly recommend
	to `latex testpage' and print testpage.dvi with your printer
	to see if the printer margins are properly set.

4) move geometry.{sty,cfg} to /your/tex/input/directory.
