       This package is designed for typesetting the programmable
       elements in digital hardware, i.e., registers.  Such registers
       typically have many fields and can be quite wide; they are thus
       a challenge to typeset in a consistent manner.  Register is
       similar in some aspects to the <xref
       refid="bitfield">bitfield</xref> package by Reuben Thomas.
       Anyone doing hardware documentation using LaTeX should examine
       both packages.  Register requires a fairly recent version of
       the <xref refid="float">float</xref> package.
