+GNU Octave Strings Toolkit
+=========================
+
+This is the official repository for the strings package for GNU Octave.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The Strings Toolkit contains additional functions for manipulation and
analysis of strings.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* Octave >= 3.8.0
+
+* libpcre3
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+To install, run the octave package manager:
+
+1. If running Windows, the package may already be installed:
+ type pkg list, to view the installed packages.
+
+ `pkg list`
+
+3. To install from Source Forge:
+
+ `pkg install -forge strings`
+
+4. To install from a local tarball.
+
+ `pkg install strings-XXXXXXX.tar.gz`
+
+ Where XXXXXXX is the version of the downloaded tarball.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+1. Load the package.
+
+ `pkg load strings`
+
+ (Required each time Octave is started)
+
+3. Use the function calls from the package.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+See the function list for
[strings](https://gnu-octave.github.io/octave-strings/) for function
documentation.
+
+Known limitations and bugs
+--------------------------
+
+Please report bugs on the [issue
tracker](https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave-strings/issues)
