This package contains Mathematica functions to 
unfold general 3-dimensional convex polytopes.
The package consisits of four files:

   ReadMe
   UnfoldGallery-notebook.ma
   UnfoldPolytope-notebook.ma
   BadUnfolding-notebook.ma
   UnfoldPolytope.m

The UnfoldPolytope notebook explains how to use this package
through examples.  UnfoldGallery-notebook contains some
unfoldings of some interesting polytopes and Badfolding-notebook
contains several examples of unfoldings which are of theoretical
interests.

If your environment does not allow you to use notebooks, 
we suggest you to get it printed before using the package.  
For the moment, the notebook environment is supported
by the Macintosh, NeXT and Windows versions of 
Mathematica. 

This beta release is designed to run under 
Version 1.2/2.0./2.1/2.2 of Mathematica.
