Assuming that you mean *my* enumerate.sty then of the 254 lines, 198
are comment lines beginning with %, and 11 more lines  are
meta-comments inside \iffalse.  Just how much documentation do you
want?

There is no enumerate.doc

just go 
latex enumerate.sty 
and you will get the dvi form of the documentation (Once you get doc.sty!)

New versions of doc.sty were announced in this newsgroup last week by
George Greenwade. 

I will put some info on obtaining these files from SHSU at the end.
Actually I have sent new versions of all my files, including
enumerate to SHSU and aston, to take advantage of some new features of
this new doc.sty. Expect an announcement about that within a few days
once the archives have them in place.

You say--- My guess: \begin{enumerate}[I]  failed

Do you mean that it produced an error, or did not work as you
expected? This should produce items labelled I, II etc. So it may be
that you have found a bug, but it is impossible to tell. Please *email*
me and I wll see what I can do.

If you would like to retrieve the file, include the command:
 SENDME DOC
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
If you would like an overview of FILESERV, include the command HELP in your
message.  For anonymous ftp access, use Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) and
look in the directory [FILESERV.DOC].

similarly

 SENDME MULTICOL  
for the MULTICOL package
and

 SENDME STY.ENUMERATE
for the latest enumerate.sty (wait a few days until GDG has had time
to install it.)
