+A LaTeX template for NSERC-style documents
+==========================================
+
+Fill in the info in `application-config.tex` and write your text in
+`example.tex` (which you can rename to whatever you like). The rest should
+be self-explanatory.
+
+Note that I made up this class for my own personal use; I don't
+mind sharing it, but please don't contact me for support.
+
+Use notes
+---------
+
+- Don't use the `cite` package. The class already provides `natbib`, which is a
+  reimplementation of it.
