\maketitle

A large part of this manual is automatically produced from the h-files of the 
LEDA system. This is a drastic change with respect to former versions of the 
manual. I used to keep the manual entry of each data type and its h-file in 
two disjoint files. This made is difficult to keep the two files consistent. 
In particular, many data types had features in addition to those documented in 
the manual. I have now incorporated all manual entries into the h-files. This 
will make it easier in the future to keep the manual and the library consistent.
However, it also means that some parts of the manual had to be retyped and that
additional software is needed to extract the manual from the h-file. This may 
have introduced errors into the manual and also changed the layout. I will keep
on improving the layout and therefore advise you to again ftp the manual in a 
few weeks time.
