Doc.sty was written by Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf. An article
about it has been published in TuGboat (I forgot which issue). It makes
litterate programming of TeX code possible. The companion program,
docstrip.tex is meant to convert such a `well documented' TeX program
into a fast loadable TeX program by removing (almost) all comments
from the code. These programs can be found on any good fileserver,
their `home' as David Jones calls it in his macro index is in Stuttgart
on rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de.
