+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.
