gensymb – Generic symbols for both text and math mode
============================================================
Walter Schmidt

kjh@harcombe.net
This LaTeX package provides generic commands
\degree, \celsius, \perthousand, \micro and \ohm, which
work both in text and math mode. The package should
co-operate flawlessly with the well-known units.sty.
Various means are provided to fake the symbols or take
them from external symbol fonts, if they are not available
in the default fonts used in the document. The package
makes optionally use of upgreek.sty.
The style files can be unpacked by running the particular
installation script (.ins) through LaTeX. The files will
be created immediately in the appropriate TDS directory
tex/latex/was, if this directory exists and the DOCSTRIP
tool is properly configured -- otherwise they are written
into the current directory.
The documentation of a package can be generated by running
the particular .dtx file through LaTeX.
