This is version 0.3.3 of teTeX, a TeX distribution for UNIX.

===========================================================================
 Here - in short - the main features of teTeX, as listed in the file
 FEATURES:
===========================================================================

Main features of the teTeX distribution:

- very easy to install and customize

- a easy-to-use tool to configure tex formats, dvips, xdvi, ...

- support for read-only inputs tree

- the whole distribution can be installed anywhere in the
  filesystem (e.g. /usr/TeX or /usr/local/tex). You do not
  need to set any environment variable as long as you keep
  the original structure of the package.

- well organised inputs tree

- fast file searching. web2c was patched to work with kpathsea-2.6.
  The search paths are chosen to give high performance.

- kpathsea debugging via the environment variable KPATHSEA_DEBUG
  that allows you to trace:
	stat(2)-calls, hashtable-access, fopen(2)-calls
	searchpaths, variable-expansions and disk searches
  The kpathsea-tools (written by me myself :-) allow you to
  find files, expand variables and searchpaths.

- run-time configuration files for dvi-drivers and tex+friends.
  Search paths can be set up for each executable differently.
  So, you can specify a different TEXINPUTS path for latex2e
  and latex209 (without a shell-script wrapper).

- LaTeX2e (June 1995) patch level 3 together with a lot of
  extra LaTeX packages, including AmSLaTeX 1.2. with full
  LaTeX2e support.

- very much documentation in texmf/doc, browsable html-index for all
  (more than 100) dvi-files, plus TeX-FAQ. See
      http://www.informatik.uni-hannover.de/docs/teTeX/

- a nice set of fonts to play with: PostScript fonts, ams, pandora, cm, dc,
  oldgerman. All of those are accessable to LaTeX by a single \usepackage
  command (e.g. \usepackage{times} for the PostScript Times family).
 .pk fonts:

===========================================================================
  teTeX comes without .pk fonts. There are (at least) 5 ways to work around:
===========================================================================
	- use existing .pk-fonts from a different location (set PKFONTS
	  variable, or edit the run-time config file texmf.cnf)
	- copy existing .pk-fonts into the teTeX hierarchy (I provided
	  a script fontimport for that purpose)
	- generate all CM and/or DC fonts in a batch job (allcm, alldc)
	- generate all fonts needed by some dvi files (see allneeded(1))
	- generate .pk fonts automatically when they are needed (MakeTeXPK)

===========================================================================
 Documentation
===========================================================================

There is the teTeX manual (TETEXDOC.dvi) and lots of documentation in
texmf/doc.
