	The \texttt{invoice} package requires additional CTAN
	software for meaningful operation. These packages are
	\texttt{realcalc}, \texttt{calc} and \texttt{longtable}.

		\section{The \texttt{invoice} Package}

		The \texttt{invoice} package was conceived in late 2000
		when the author had to dig through a truly aweful pile
		of expense bills without having a \LaTeXe-capable
		spreadsheet (or any spreadsheet) available. After several
		miscalculations with a pocket calculator due to forgotten
		entries or double entries the idea came up to have \LaTeXe\
		do the calculation work. As such, the package in its present
		stage is highly specialized with regard to the documents it
		generates. The \texttt{invoice} package is basically a
		tailor-made solution for a consultant who charges fees and
		claims all sorts of expenses, sometimes working on different
		assignments for the same client.

		Comments and suggestions are highly welcome and
		should be directed to the author at
		\texttt{corff@zedat.fu-berlin.de}.

		The \texttt{invoice} package is put under the GNU
		Public Licence.
