Description
-----------

LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text
occupy the same horizontal space on the page.  To that end, the eqparbox
package defines \eqparbox, \eqmakebox, \eqframebox, and \eqsavebox
commands, which work just like \parbox, \makebox, \framebox, and
\savebox, respectively, except that instead of specifying a width, one
specifies a tag.  All boxes with the same tag -- regardless of where
they are in the document -- will stretch to fit the widest box that uses
that tag.  This simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety
of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's
documentation.


Installation
------------

There's nothing special about building eqparbox:

    latex eqparbox.ins     <== Generate eqparbox.sty
    latex eqparbox.dtx     <== Produce the documentation (eqparbox.dvi)
    latex eqparbox.dtx     <== Again, to get labels and eqparboxes right
    makeindex -s gind.ist eqparbox    <== Generate an index
    makeindex -s gglo.ist eqparbox.glo -o eqparbox.gls    <== Generate a change list
    latex eqparbox.dtx     <== Incorporate the index into the document
