2. Beschreibung
Dieses Paket definiert LaTeX- bzw. TeX-Befehle, die an den jeweiligen
Stellen eine protokollf"ahige Form der Sicherheitsratschl"age, der sog. R-
und S- S"atze, einsetzen. Dies beschleunigt z.B. das Erstellen von
Protokollen und Sicherheitsbl"attern erheblich. Die Datei r_und_s.sty ist
das LaTeX-Stylefile, die Datei r_und_s.tex enth"alt die gleiche
Funktionalit"at f"ur die Verwendung mit TeX.

2.1 Sprachen
Folgende Sprachen werden durch die entsprechenden Dateien unterst"utzt:
	Deutsch			r_und_s
	Englisch		eng_rs
	Niederl"andisch		nl_rs
	Franz"osisch		fr_rs

3. Verwendung
Zum Laden des Stylefiles und zur Verwendung der darin definierten Befehle
ziehe man die einschl"agigen LaTeX- bzw. TeX-Dokumentationen zu Rate.

Die S"atze S5, S6, S14, S28, S40, S43, S47, S48 und S50 sowie die
Kombinationen S3/14, S3/9/14, S3/9/14/19 und S47/49 erfordern die "Ubergabe
eines Parameters, der den jeweils vom Hersteller anzugebenden Stoff
bezeichnet.

4. Codierung der R- und S- Saetze (RSS)
Die Befehle des Paketes sind zun"achst grob unterteilt in R-S"atze und
S-S"atze. Erstere beginnen mit \cr, letzere mit \cs. Das 'c' am Anfang steht
f"ur 'Chemie' oder "ahnliches, um eine Abgrenzung zu anderen Befehlen zu
bieten.

Da die Numerierung der RSS in numerischer Form in LaTeX nicht "ubernommen
werden konnte, mu"ste eine Codierung erfolgen. Die Ziffern wurden wie folgt,
wie ich finde logisch, codiert:
  0 -> o (sieht "ahnlich aus, oder?)
  1 -> e (wie 'eins')
  2 -> z (wie 'zwei')
  3 -> d (...)
  4 -> v
  5 -> f
  6 -> s
  7 -> i (Tricky... :-)
  8 -> a
  9 -> n
Der R-Satz 2 ist also \crz, der R-Satz 17 wird analog \crei (Chemie, R-Satz,
eins-sieben)

Kombinierte S"atze besitzen zur eindeutigen Identifikation einen dritten 
Buchstaben 'c' (f"ur 'combined'), der R-Satz R23/24/25 wird damit zu
\crczdzvzf (Chemie, R-Satz, kombiniert, zwei-drei-zwei-vier-zwei-f"unf).

Umstaendlich vielleicht, aber der einzige mir vern"unftige Weg - und ich
habe mich mittlerweile daran gew"ohnt ;-)

5. Vollst"andigkeit
Die Datenbank umfasst Sicherheitss"atze bis einschlie"slich R64 und S62
sowie ihre gebr"auchlichen Kombinationen.
Die Kombination S37/38/39 ist in der franz"osischen und niederl"andischen
Version nicht vorhanden. Ersatzweise wird eine mit "XXX" gekennzeichnete
englische Fassung wiedergegeben.

6. Verbesserungsvorschl"age, Kommentare, etc.
Bitte per eMail an mich, ich werde den Dingen dann nachgehen und auf jeden
Fall den Eingang der Mails best"atigen.

2. Description
This packet provides LaTeX- resp. TeX-Commands, which will expand numeric R-
and S- codes to a full text form. This is usable for creating safety data
sheets and lab protocols. The *.sty files are for LaTeX, the *.tex files are
plain TeX.

2.1. Languages
The following languages are supported and contained in the mentioned files:
	German		r_und_s
	English		eng_rs
	Dutch		nl_rs
	French		fr_rs

3. Usage
For information on how to use external macros in LaTeX and TeX, please
consult one of the many documentations written on this subject. 
The phrases S5, S6, S14, S28, S40, S43, S47, S48, S50, and the combinations
S3/14, S3/9/14, S3/9/14/19, and S47/49 need a parameter specified by the
manufacturer of the product.

4. Coding of the numbers
First, the phrases contained in this package are divided into 'R-' and 'S-'
prases, beginning '\cr' and '\cs'. The 'c' at the beginning stands for
'Chemie' or 'chemistry' to avoid conflicts with other LaTeX-commands.

Because the numerical coding of the R- and S-phrases is not possible with
LaTeX, the phrases are 'numbered' with letters (unfortunately, the coding
requires the knowledge of a little bit germany, but it's really easy...)
  0 -> o (the 'o' looks like a zero, doesn't it?)
  1 -> e ('eins' is german for 'one)'
  2 -> z ('zwei', what means 'two')
  3 -> d ('drei')
  4 -> v ('vier')
  5 -> f ('f"unf')
  6 -> s ('sechs')
  7 -> i ('sieben', but 's' is already used, so took the second letter)
  8 -> a ('acht');
  9 -> n ('neun' and, how nice, 'nine' :-)
For example, R-phrase 2 becomes \crz, R-phrase 17 becomes \crei, which reads
'chemistry, r-phrase eins-sieben (one-seven)'.

Combined phrases need the additional character 'c' (for 'combined'), e.g.
R23/24/25 becomes '\crczdzvzf' (chemistry, r-phrase, combined, zwei-drei-
zwei-vier-zwei-f"unf (two-three-two-four-two-five).

Seems difficult? Maybe, but I've gotten used to it, and so will you ;-)

5. Completeness
The package contains R- and S-phrases up to R64 and S62 and their most
important combinations.
In the French and Dutch version, the combination S37/38/39 is missing and
included in English only, marked with "XXX".


6. Comments
Please send any comments to my email address given below, I will take a look
at them and promise to send at least a short confirmation when I recieved the 
mail.
