This is the first of a series of posts regarding the Mainz packages on
FILESERV/Niord.  I'm just about caught up with the archiving and would like
to thank Rainer for getting the files to me.

***************************************************************************
                                   NFSS
                                   ----
The NFSS package includes the files of the New Font Selection Scheme for
LaTeX, authored by Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Schoepf.  This package
includes the NFSS release of 26 August 1992.  The NFSS is to be a base part
of the LaTeX3 project.  A number of bugs have been fixed.  This release
contains new support for using the so-called `dc' fonts, which implement
the 256 character extended text font layout, and for scaling the math
extension font with the current text size.

The main characteristics of the NFSS are:
  --  The possibility to change family, series, shape and sizes
      independently of one another.
  --  The existence of a style file to process older documents without
      any changes to their layout and their input files.
  --  A macro setup which is consistent with existing standard document
      styles.

To retrieve the set of 28 files, include:
 SENDME NFSS
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
To retrieve a specific file, such as NFSS.ARRAY_STY, include:
 SENDME NFSS.ARRAY_STY
in your mail to FILESERV.  For anonymous ftp retrieval, the individual
files, as well as a ZIP archive, NFSS-AUG92.ZIP, are available in the
directory [FILESERV.NFSS] on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).
