			    Making a Mn_Fit Manual

   The Mn_Fit manual is made several introductory LaTeX files plus the Mn_Fit
help files converted to LaTeX.  I have written a facility which takes the
Mn_Fit help files and makes a LATEX document out of them. The Mn_Fit
Makefile described below enable you to run this procedure and to make the
figures. Postscript, PDF and HTML versions of the manual are available from
the Mn_Fit homepage:
http://www-zeus.physik.uni-bonn.de/~brock/mn_fit.html
which should be easier for most users than making the manual themselves.

You should be able to make a manual with the command:
   make manual

   The FORTRAN program that is used to do this is src/extras/mn_latex.fpp. It
makes a LaTeX file mn_fit.tex which you can then run through LaTeX and print in
the usual way.

   The pictures for the appendices are usually made in Encapsulated Postscript
format. The demo05 picture covers 2 pages. In Encapsulated Postscript form
this is automatically put into 2 files. I no longer support any other formats.
The default syntax for including pictures uses \includegraphics.

   All picture sizes are 16x18cm in the pictures macro. In the demonstration
macros the pictures are 20x20cm, except for the fits which are 20x25cm.
