OxUtils  -- General comments
----------------------------
OxUtils is an ox package containing a range of small routines for
measuring the time a program is expected to last (info), to print a
matrix in LaTeX format (PrintMatrix), to set the seed to a random value
(setseed), and a set of routines to check which part of a program takes
most of the time (TrackTime).


OxUtils  -- Installation instructions
-------------------------------------
To install OxUtils, follow the next steps:

 (1) Unzip the file <a href="software/oxutils.zip">oxutils.zip</a> from
     your Ox folder (using folder names). This creates files in the
     directory <ox-home>/packages/oxutils. In this case, no change of
     the OX3PATH environment variable is needed.

     Installation in a local directory is also possible; e.g. if you
     install under Windows in c:\myox, resulting in files in
       c:\myox\packages\oxutils
     then make sure that the directory c:\myox is included in the OX3PATH
     variable.

(2a) Put the file packages/oxutils/doc/oxutils.html in your list of
     bookmarks, or, better even,
(2b) Edit <ox-home>/doc/oxmenu.html, adding a line
       <tr><td><a href="../packages/oxutils/doc/oxutils.html">OxUtils reference</a></td></tr>
     before the line referring to the `Predefined constants'
     such that the documentation is available from the standard Ox
     documentation.


OxUtils  -- Remarks
-------------------
Check the sample files in packages/oxutils/samples for information on
the usage of the routines, or check out the explanation of these
examples at my web-page.

Please drop me a line if you encounter bugs or are missing special functionality.
