- The first time I uploaded this package it got corrupted. Here the next
- try.
-
- This is a collection of mostly binaries, put together to provide a minimal
- setup to print TeX/LaTeX/TeXinfo files.
-
- Its features:
- - TeX and LaTeX to convert a document from source form (.tex .texinfo)
- to a device-independent form (.dvi)
- - Programs to produce a sorted index from the raw index that LaTeX or
- texinfo outputs
- - dvips to convert the device-independent form to Postscript-form (.ps)
- - Metafont, to generate rasterized fonts on the fly when they are requested
- by dvips
- - ghostscript to output the Postscript-source to a non Postscript printer.
- Supported Printers are: the HP-Laserjet series, diverse HP-Desjket,
- Canon BJ's, epson-compatible Dot-Matrix-Printers (9 or 24 pin), NEC P6,
- P6+,P60 and several others.
- - only libc.so.3.* and libm.so.3.* needed as DLL, no X11.
- - a quick and dirty README_if_you_dont't_know_LaTeX, modified for this
- particular setup, called USAGE.
- Its NON-features:
- - No preview possibilities.
- - Almost no documentation about the programs themselves included. Most give
- a short help when called with no arguments however.
-
- The unpacked size of the package is less than 4.5 MB.
-
- Everything has been put together a bit hastily, so there are certainly bugs
- in it, maybe due to this installation (some file(s) missing, pathes
- compiled or set wrong, files in the wrong place, ...) which is more probable,
- maybe due to bugs in the original programs which is less probable.
- If something is wrong with the package, or if you have suggestions what
- needs to be added, report it to me, I'll try to make
- it more reliable, if it's an installation fault.
