All installers should run test0.tex through LATEX and print
the result, after installing their chosen setup, to ensure that things
are more or less working. The OT1 encoding demonstration will
not have a proper set of pounds signs! They will all be italic.
test1.tex will exercise your supply of
PostScript fonts.
Do not worry if nothing but test0.tex works!.
test0.ps is a prebuilt version of test0.tex for you
to compare.
