teTeX is a complete TeX distribution for UNIX compatible systems.
It features:
* TeX 3.14159, Metafont 2.718, LaTeX2e Rel. 04 <1995/12/01> PL#1,
dvipsk 5.58f, xdvik 18f using kpathsea 2.6, and DC Fonts 1.2;
* file organisation according to upcoming TeX Directory Standard;
* easy to install with install.sh (not needed for this port!);
* easy to customize with `texconfig' utility;
* lots of extra LaTeX packages (most of them mentioned in the
LaTeX Companion);
* much documentation: more than 100 dvi-files plus teTeX manual,
teTeX FAQ and TeX FAQ;
* support for read-only inputs tree (it is thus possible to use
an alternate destination for newly created fonts);
* ready for multi platform setup;
* fast file searching: web2c was patched to work with kpathsea-2.6
so that the search paths are chosen to give high performance;
* run-time configuration files for DVI drivers as well as TeX &
friends;
* a nice set of fonts to play with: PostScript fonts, ams, pandora,
cm, dc, oldgerman -- all easily accessable by LaTeX;
* the whole distribution can be installed anywhere in the filesystem
(e.g., /usr/TeX or /usr/local/tex); you do not need to specify any
environment variable as long as you keep the original structure of
the package;
* mailing list for discussion: tetex@informatik.uni-hannover.de.
teTeX includes the following programs:
web2c: tex, mf, bibtex, gftopk, ...
dvi drivers: xdvi, dvips, dvilj, dvilj2p, dvilj4, dvilj4l

others: makeindex, kpsetool, gsftopk, ps2pk, afm2tfm, ...

establishing this fine distribution of TeX & friends, and thanks,
too, for his aid in this port.
Enjoy!
