+Maybe we should change the subject of out list, after all S in NTS
+stands for ``System'' and N for ``New''. All we need is a small change
+of T abbreviation to ``Technology'' ;-)

+j"org knappen asks:

+ TeX--XeT, MLTeX and Sisisi, but there may be more. Specially I have heard
+ that some commercial implementations provide additional primitives or
+ extensions.
+
+vtex, by micropress, inc., forest hills, ny, has added a number of
+primitives. it reportedly has a "compatibility" switch that enables
+it to pass the trip test, but i've never had the opportunity to
+examine the evidence. the author, michael vulis, has said that
+vtex is *not* tex -- files using the extensions are not backward
+compatible. (see reference below.)
+
+among the new primitives are the following:
+ \aliasfont -- for substituting a scalable font for standard cm
+ \exec -- for adding new "commands" (primitives?) to vtex
+ additional keywords on the \font command:
+ slant, aspect, smallcaps, outline, shadow, gray, fillpattern
+probably more are described in the book by michael vulis, but i can't
+find my copy at the moment. the information given here appears in
+the tugboat article by vulis, "vtex enhancements of the tex language",
+11 #3 (sept. 1990), pp.429-434.
+
+ Do extended MF's exist (I'm aware of none) ?
+
+the vtex people have also created an implementation of mf that is
+advertised as being able to create "either bitmapped or scalable
+fonts".
+
+ What additions to the standard TeX kit exist (Roughly the following
+ programmes: weave, tangle, TeX, MF, gftopk, gftype, pktype, tftopl, pltotf,
+ dvitype, mft, vptovf, vftovp ... did I miss any? ) ?
+
+gftodvi is part of metafontware; a printed woven output of the four
+mfware programs (gftype, gftopk, gftodvi and mft) can be obtained
+from the tex users group as the publication texniques #13.
+
+along with the adaptation of type-1 (postscript) fonts to be used
+with tex, the pfa/pfb manipulation programs might be considered to
+be part of the font kit.

+Hallo J"org,
+
+I think that patgen could be considered an addition to the standard TeX kit.
+
+Perhaps MetaPost can be considered an `extension' to MF.
