    TeXshade v1.28
    >>
    >> A LaTeX package for setting nucleotide and peptide alignments.
    >>
    >> Setting alignments of nucleotides and peptides for publication 
    >> or presentation purposes  is usually a time consuming two-step 
    >> process. First, a scientific software is used for the calcula-
    >> tion of the alignment. This is done in a few minutes. Then, in
    >> order to highlight special sequence relationships and to label
    >> positions and regions of interest  a second software with high 
    >> output capability is needed.
    >>
    >> Manipulating sequence alignments with standard word processing
    >> or graphics programs  takes its time--often several hours--and 
    >> simple layout changes such as  re-breaking lines,  say from 50
    >> to 40 residues per line, elongate the working time considerab-
    >> ly.
    >> 
    >> TeXshade is  an alignment shading software  completely written 
    >> in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in
    >> the MSF, ALN and FASTA file format. It provides in addition to
    >> common  shading  algorithms  special  shading  modes featuring
    >> functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a plenitude
    >> of commands for handling shading colors,  text styles, labels,
    >> legends and even allows the user to define completely new sha-
    >> ding modes.  TeXshade  combines  highest  flexibility  and the
    >> habitual TeX output quality--with reasonable time expenditure.

    README         This file

    or
    texshade.pdf   Package documentation



2 - INSTALLATION

  (a) EXTRACTING FILES FROM THE DOCSTRIP ARCHIVE

    All files  provided by TeXshade  are  compacted to one single file,
    namely  "texshade.dtx".  To extract the archive run  "texshade.ins"
    -  which contains the corresponding instructions  -  through LaTeX. 
    A list of the generated files is given above, see 1(a).


  (b) THE DOCUMENTATION

    The file "texshade.dtx" further contains the package documentation.
    Therefore,  run this file through LaTeX now.  As you will recognize
    two runs are needed to make proper references within the document.

    TeXshade needs lots of TeX's memory,  so adjust your parameter set-
    tings to  make TeXshade  feel comfortable.  The documentation  is a
    good test for this.
    
    TeXshade makes use of "color.sty" by David Carlisle.  This style is
    part of the Standard LaTeX Graphics Bundle.  Usually, the bundle is
    present in  a comprehensive LaTeX installation.  If this is not the
    case for your system you have to download the package from  a CTAN-
    server, e.g. ftp.dante.de.


  (c) MAKING TEXSHADE.STY AVAILABLE FOR YOUR LATEX SYSTEM

    In the final step,  copy  at  least  the files  "texshade.sty"  and
    "ciliate.cod" to a directory searched by TeX in order to make these
    files available for all documents you'll produce in the future. The 
    remaining files are example files  which are not necessary for run-
    ning  TeXshade.  Nevertheless,  it would be a good idea to keep all 
    the files together.
