(This README file itself is public domain.) + +Primary distribution point: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/teximpatient/ + automatic redirection: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/teximpatient + list of mirrors for manual selection: http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html + +Home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/teximpatient/ + +Development sources, etc.: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/teximpatient/ + +Information about the free edition is included at the end of the preface +and on the copyright page. + +A French translation is included in the distribution, +and a Chinese translation is at https://bitbucket.org/zohooo/impatient +(with PDF at +http://zoho.is-programmer.com/user_files/zoho/epics/tex-impatient-cn.pdf). + +Original high-resolution scans of the artwork are available from +http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/teximpatient/artwork. Reduced-size bitmaps are +in the artwork/ subdirectory here. + + +Some random thoughts for people thinking of working with the source: + +- See errata.future for some relatively small ideas for enhancements. + +- You may want to translate the source into some more standard +format, such as Texinfo; we used many homegrown macros mostly to make +typing and markup easier. + +- You may also want to redo the index creation to use makeindex or some +other standard program, instead of the homegrown Icon programs (or else +they need to be fixed; right now somehow the + characters used for +spaces in book.idx are preserved in book.sdx, which is wrong). Until +the index can be easily regenerated, the page breaks can't change +without the index becoming useless. + +- Printing the GFDL required many kludges, a true Eplain-compatible +version is needed (which in turn would require using the current eplain +to print the book). + +Happy TeXing. |
