DØ ÁÁThe files enclosed are listed below, mostly in several directories. ÁÁSome of these are described in a little more detail in the file MATERIAL, but the number of pages may differ between that given there and the versions on disc. Some of the files listed in MATERIAL are so out of date or are so specialised, that I have not included them here. ÁÁA number of catalogue documents are split into parts because they got too big for a single floppy disk and I have never re©combined them, and it is actually convenient to have the indexes in a separate file than the catalogue itself.

It was produced by my BSc project student Chris Vines in 1992/1993. Since I didn't usually use a mouse at the time, the package includes the relevant software for starting up the mouse. The program runs by entering this directory and typing or clicking POLYPACK. This directory has its own explanatory README file. I have added NOTES2 on the types of polyhedra and their history. A directory contains 43 images for these notes.
