[ho-tex] Feedback for /pkg/oberdiek?lang=en

[Victor Eijkhout]

Would it be possible to include instructions in the oberdiek README about how to obtain cls and sty files?

For instance, this link seems to indicate that they are anomalous:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/29763/can-i-convert-a-dtx-file-to-tex-file

And even with those instructions I’m not getting there:
