xkeyval v2.0 and pst-xkey v1.3
------------------------------

This package is an extension of the keyval package by David Carlisle
and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and
setting class or package options. This distribution also includes
the pst-xkey package which is a specialization of the xkeyval
package for PSTricks packages. See for more information the pdf
documentation of this package.


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

First check whether this package can be installed by the distribution
that you use, since that will simplify installation. For manual
installations, the structure and supposed location in a TDS compliant
TeX-tree is shown in the overview below. In words, keyval.tex,
pst-xkey.tex, xkvtxhdr.tex and xkeyval.tex should be available to TeX
and LaTeX; pst-xkey.sty, xkeyval.sty and xkvltxp.sty should be available
to LaTeX. Don't forget to update your filename database after installing
the files.

The package includes pregenerated run and doc files, but you can
reproduce them from the source if necessary. See the first lines
of xkeyval.dtx and pst-xkey.dtx for information how to do this.
Example files can be produced by running the file xkeyval.dtx with
LaTeX once.

See the documentation of your LaTeX distribution or the TeX
Frequently Asked Questions for more information on installing
xkeyval into your LaTeX distribution
