This is the file `00readme.acs', which accompanies the `achemso'
package distribution.  The package formats BibTeX output in 
accordance with the requirements of most journals of The American 
Chemical Society.  It also provides a convenient LaTeX interface to 
be used with the BibTeX style file(s).  To use the package, run LaTeX on 
`achemso.ins', this produces the files `achemso.sty', which contains 
the LaTeX macro definitions, the file `acslist.tex', which is a 
template file to produce a complete listing of a BibTeX data base, 
`achemso.bst' which is the main BibTeX style file of the package, 
and `achemsol.bst' which is a BibTeX style file to be used when 
producing complete BibTeX data base listings.   To obtain the userguide 
and documentation, run LaTeX on `achemso.dtx' twice.

The 'achemso' package consists of two files:
    achemso.ins   -  the installation driver
    achemso.dtx   -  the macro code, instructions on how to use 
                     the package, the listing template, and the 
                     BibTeX style files `achemso.bst' and 
                     `achemsol.bst' in `docstrip'-able format.
Anyone is free to re-distribute these files provided the restrictions
mentioned in 'achemso.ins' are obeyed.  These are mainly that the 
two files always must be distributed together and that noone is 
allowed to distribute the files for profit.
