  The `fancyvrb' package provides very sophisticated facilities for reading
and writing verbatim TeX code. Users can perform common tasks like changing
font family and size, numbering lines, framing code examples, colouring text
and conditionally processing text.

  `fancyvrb' was heavily used in the typesetting of the "LaTeX Graphics
Companion", by Michel Goossens, Sebastian Rahtz and Frank Mittelbach, Addison
Wesley, 1997.

  The "contrib" subdirectory contain the `fvrb-ex' package (from Denis Girou),
built above `fancyvrb', which offer some "example" environments showing both
the code in verbatim mode and the result of it normally formatted.

                                   Warning!
                                   --------

  * Support is provided by Denis Girou and Sebastian Rahtz and not by
Timothy Van Zandt. Do not bother him with questions relative to `fancyvrb'!

  * The standard `color' package must be available, with a correct "color.cfg"
file defining the dvi converter that must be used.
