+This is the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) document, describing a runtime
+layout of TeX-related files intended to be portable,
+implementation-independent, etc. Most TeX distributions have adopted
+this in some form.
+
+If any questions, comments, or suggestions, email twg-tds@tug.org.
+Mailing list archives available at: http://tug.org/mail-archives/twg-tds/
+
+tds.tex is the master source file. A few extra LaTeX packages that it
+uses are in packages.zip, in the unlikely event that you don't already
+have them.
+
+http://tug.org/tds/ contains the current released version. For older
+versions, see ftp://tug.org/historic/docs/tds. <!-- For the current
+development sources, see http://tds.sarovar.org. -->
+
+Happy installing.

+<h2 class="chapter">1 Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>TeX is a powerful, flexible typesetting system used by many people
+around the world. It is extremely portable and runs on virtually all
+operating systems. One unfortunate side effect of TeX's flexibility,
+however, is that there has been no single &ldquo;right&rdquo; way to install it.
+This has resulted in many sites having different installed arrangements.
+
+ <p>The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard TeX
+Directory Structure (TDS): a directory hierarchy for macros,
+fonts, and the other implementation-independent TeX system files. As
+a matter of practicality, this document also suggests ways to
+incorporate the rest of the TeX files into a single structure. The
+TDS has been designed to work on all modern systems. In
+particular, the Technical Working Group (TWG) believes it is usable
+under MacOS, MS-DOS, OS/2, Unix, VMS, and
+Windows NT. We hope that administrators and developers of both
+free and commercial TeX implementations will adopt this standard.
+
+ <p>This document is intended both for the TeX system administrator at a
+site and for people preparing TeX distributions&mdash;everything from a
+complete runnable system to a single macro or style file. It may also
+help TeX users find their way around systems organized this way. It
+is not a tutorial: we necessarily assume knowledge of the many parts of
+a working TeX system. If you are unfamiliar with any of the programs
+or file formats we refer to, consult the references in
+Appendix&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Related-references">Related references</a>.

+<h3 class="section">1.2 The role of the TDS</h3>
+
+<p>The role of the TDS is to stabilize the organization of
+TeX-related software packages that are installed and in use, possibly
+on multiple platforms simultaneously.
+
+ <p>At first glance, it may seem that the Comprehensive TeX Archive
+Network (CTAN) fulfills at least part of this role, but this is
+not the case. The role of CTAN is to simplify archiving and
+distribution, not installation and use.
+
+ <p>In fact, the roles of the TDS and CTAN are frequently in
+conflict, as we will see. For distribution, many different types of
+files must be combined into a single unit; for use, it is traditional to
+segregate files (even similar files) from a single package into
+separate, occasionally distant, directories.

+
+<h3 class="section">1.3 Conventions</h3>
+
+<p>In this document, <samp><span class="file">/</span></samp> is used to separate filename components;
+for example, <samp><span class="file">texmf/fonts</span></samp>. This is the Unix convention but the
+ideas are in no way Unix-specific.
+
+ <p>In this document, &ldquo;TeX&rdquo; generally means the TeX system, including
+Metafont, DVI drivers, utilities, etc., not just the TeX
+program itself.
+
+ <p>The word &ldquo;package&rdquo; in this document has its usual meaning: a set of
+related files distributed, installed, and maintained as a unit. This is
+<em>not</em> a LaTeX2e package, which is a style file supplementing
+a document class.
+
+ <p>We use the following typographic conventions:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">literal</span></samp>'
+Literal text such as <samp><span class="file">filename</span></samp> is
+typeset in typewriter type.
+
+ <li>`<samp><var>replaceable</var></samp>'
+Replaceable text such as
+<samp><var>package</var></samp>, identifying a class of things, is typeset in
+italics inside angle brackets.

+
+<h3 class="section">2.1 Subdirectory searching</h3>
+
+<p>Older TeX installations store large numbers of related files in single
+directories, for example, all <samp><span class="file">TFM</span></samp> files and/or all TeX
+input files.
+
+ <p>This monolithic arrangement hinders maintenance of a TeX system: it
+is difficult to determine what files are used by what packages, what
+files need to be updated when a new version is installed, or what files
+should be deleted if a package is removed. It is also a source of error
+if two or more packages happen to have input files with the same name.
+
+ <p>Therefore, the TWG felt each package should be in a separate
+directory. But we recognized that explicitly listing all directories to
+be searched would be unbearable. A site may wish to install dozens of
+packages. Aside from anything else, listing that many directories would
+produce search paths many thousands of characters long, overflowing the
+available space on some systems.
+
+ <p>Also, if all directories are explicitly listed, installing or removing a
+new package would mean changing a path as well as installing or removing
+the actual files. This would be a time-consuming and error-prone
+operation, even with implementations that provide some way to specify
+the directories to search at runtime. On systems without runtime
+configuration, it would require recompiling software, an intolerable
+burden.
+
+ <p>As a result, the TWG concluded that a comprehensive TDS
+requires implementations to support some form of implicit subdirectory
+searching. More precisely, implementations must make it possible to
+specify that TeX, Metafont, and their companion utilities search in both
+a specified directory and recursively through all subdirectories of that
+directory when looking for an input file. Other forms of subdirectory
+searching, for example recursive-to-one-level searches, may also be
+provided. We encourage implementors to provide subdirectory searching
+at the option of the installer and user for all paths.
+
+ <p>The TDS does not specify a syntax for specifying recursive
+searching, but we encourage implementors to provide interoperability
+(see Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#More-on-subdirectory-searching">More on subdirectory searching</a>).

+
+<h3 class="section">2.2 Rooting the tree</h3>
+
+<p>In this document, we shall designate the root TDS directory by
+<samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> (for &ldquo;TeX and Metafont&rdquo;). We recommend using that name
+where possible, but the actual name of the directory is up to the
+installer. On PC networks, for example, this could map to a
+logical drive specification such as <samp><span class="file">T:</span></samp>.
+
+ <p>Similarly, the location of this directory on the system is
+site-dependent. It may be at the root of the file system; on Unix
+systems, <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/share</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>,
+<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/lib</span></samp>, and <samp><span class="file">/opt</span></samp> are common choices.
+
+ <p>The name <samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> was chosen for several reasons: it reflects the fact
+that the directory contains files pertaining to an entire TeX system
+(including Metafont, MetaPost, BibTeX, etc.), not just TeX itself; and it
+is descriptive of a generic installation rather than a particular
+implementation.
+
+ <p>A site may choose to have more than one TDS hierarchy installed
+(for example, when installing an upgrade). This is perfectly legitimate.

+
+<h3 class="section">2.3 Local additions</h3>
+
+<p>The TDS cannot specify precisely when a package is or is not a
+&ldquo;local addition&rdquo;. Each site must determine this according to its own
+conventions. At the two extremes, one site might wish to consider
+&ldquo;nonlocal&rdquo; all files not acquired as part of the installed TeX
+distribution; another site might consider &ldquo;local&rdquo; only those files
+that were actually developed at the local site and not distributed
+elsewhere.
+
+ <p>We recognize two common methods for local additions to a distributed
+<samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> tree. Both have their place; in fact, some sites employ
+both simultaneously:
+
+ <ol type=1 start=1>
+
+ <li>A completely separate tree which is a TDS structure
+itself; for example, <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/umbtex</span></samp> at the University of
+Massachusetts at Boston. This is another example of the multiple
+<samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> hierarchies mentioned in the previous section.
+
+ <li>A directory named <samp><span class="file">local</span></samp> at any appropriate level, for
+example, in the <samp><var>format</var></samp>, <samp><var>package</var></samp>, and
+<samp><var>supplier</var></samp> directories discussed in the following sections.
+The TDS reserves the directory name <samp><span class="file">local</span></samp> for this
+purpose.
+
+ <p>We recommend using <samp><span class="file">local</span></samp> for site-adapted configuration files,
+such as <samp><span class="file">language.dat</span></samp> for the Babel package or <samp><span class="file">graphics.cfg</span></samp>
+for the graphics package. Unmodified configuration files from a package
+should remain in the package directory. The intent is to separate
+locally modified or created files from distribution files, to ease
+installing new releases.
+
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>One common case of local additions is dynamically generated files, e.g.,
+PK fonts by the <samp><span class="file">mktexpk</span></samp> script (which originated in
+Dvips as <samp><span class="file">MakeTeXPK</span></samp>). A site may store the
+generated files directly in any of:
+ <ul>
+<li>their standard location in the main TDS tree (if it can be
+made globally writable);
+
+ <li>an alternative location in the main TDS tree (for
+example, under <samp><span class="file">texmf/fonts/tmp</span></samp>);
+
+ <li>a second complete TDS tree (as outlined above);
+
+ <li>any other convenient directory (perhaps under
+<samp><span class="file">/var</span></samp>, for example <samp><span class="file">/var/spool/fonts</span></samp>).
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>No one solution will be appropriate for all sites.
+

+<br>
+</div>
+
+<h3 class="section">2.4 Duplicate filenames</h3>
+
+<p>Different files by the same name may exist in a TDS tree. The
+TDS generally leaves unspecified which of two files by the same
+name in a search path will be found, so generally the only way to
+reliably find a given file is for it to have a unique name. However,
+the TDS requires implementations to support the following
+exceptions:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>Names of TeX input files must be unique within each first-level
+subdirectory of <samp><span class="file">texmf/tex</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">texmf/tex/generic</span></samp>, but not
+within all of <samp><span class="file">texmf/tex</span></samp>; i.e., different TeX formats may have
+files by the same name. (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Macros">Macros</a> discusses this
+further.) Thus, no single format-independent path specification, such
+as a recursive search beginning at <samp><span class="file">texmf/tex</span></samp> specifying no other
+directories, suffices. So implementations must provide format-dependent
+path specifications, for example via wrapper scripts or configuration
+files.
+
+ <li>Many font files will have the same name (e.g., <samp><span class="file">cmr10.pk</span></samp>),
+as discussed in Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Valid-font-bitmaps">Valid font bitmaps</a>. Implementations
+must distinguish these files by mode and resolution.
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>All implementations we know of already have these capabilities.
+
+ <p>One place where duplicate names are likely to occur is not an exception:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>Names of Metafont input files (as opposed to bitmaps) must be unique
+within all of <samp><span class="file">texmf/fonts</span></samp>. In practice, this is a problem with
+some variants of Computer Modern which contain slightly modified files
+named <samp><span class="file">punct.mf</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">romanl.mf</span></samp>, and so on. We believe the only
+feasible solution is to rename the derivative files to be
+unique.

+<h2 class="chapter">3 Top-level directories</h2>
+
+<p>The directories under the <samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> root identify the major components of
+a TeX system (see Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Summary">Summary</a> for a summary). A site
+may omit any unneeded directories.
+
+ <p>Although the TDS by its nature can specify precise locations only
+for implementation-independent files, we recognize that installers may
+well wish to place other files under <samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> to simplify administration
+of the TeX tree, especially if it is maintained by someone other than
+the system administrator. Therefore, additional top-level directories
+may be present.
+
+ <p>The top-level directories specified by the TDS are:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">tex</span></samp>'
+for TeX files (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Macros">Macros</a>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">fonts</span></samp>'
+for font-related files (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Fonts">Fonts</a>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">metafont</span></samp>'
+for Metafont files which are not fonts (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Non_002dfont-Metafont-files">Non-font Metafont files</a>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">metapost</span></samp>'
+for MetaPost files (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#MetaPost">MetaPost</a>).

+for BibTeX files (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#BibTeX">BibTeX</a>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">scripts</span></samp>'
+for platform-independent executables (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Scripts">Scripts</a>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">doc</span></samp>'
+for user documentation (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Documentation">Documentation</a>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">source</span></samp>'
+for sources. This includes both traditional
+program sources (for example, Web2C sources go in
+<samp><span class="file">texmf/source/web2c</span></samp>) and, e.g., LaTeX <samp><span class="file">dtx</span></samp> sources (which
+go in <samp><span class="file">texmf/source/latex</span></samp>). The TDS leaves unspecified any
+structure under <samp><span class="file">source</span></samp>.
+
+ <p><samp><span class="file">source</span></samp> is intended for files which are not needed at runtime by
+any TeX program; it should not be included in any search path. For
+example, <samp><span class="file">plain.tex</span></samp> does not belong under <samp><span class="file">texmf/source</span></samp>,
+even though it is a &ldquo;source file&rdquo; in the sense of not being derived
+from another file. (It goes in <samp><span class="file">texmf/tex/plain/base</span></samp>, as explained
+in Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Macros">Macros</a>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><var>implementation</var></samp>'
+for implementations (examples:
+<samp><span class="file">emtex</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">vtex</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">web2c</span></samp>), to be used for whatever
+purpose deemed suitable by the implementor or TeX administrator.
+That is, files that cannot be shared between implementations, such as
+pool files (<samp><span class="file">tex.pool</span></samp>) and memory dump files (<samp><span class="file">plain.fmt</span></samp>) go
+here, in addition to implementation-wide configuration files. See
+Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Example-implementation_002dspecific-trees">Example implementation-specific trees</a> for examples of
+real <samp><var>implementation</var></samp> trees.
+
+ <p>Such implementation-specific configuration files should <em>not</em>
+be located using the main TeX input search path (e.g.,
+<samp><span class="file">TEXINPUTS</span></samp>). This must be reserved for files actually read by a
+TeX engine. See Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Extensions">Extensions</a>.
+

+for program-specific input and

+<h3 class="section">3.1 Macros</h3>
+
+<p>TeX macro files shall be stored in separate directories, segregated
+by TeX format and package name (we use `format' in its traditional
+TeX sense to mean a usefully <samp><span class="file">\dump</span></samp>-able package):
+<pre class="example"> texmf/tex/<var>format</var>/<var>package</var>/
+</pre>
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><var>format</var></samp>'
+is a format name (examples: <samp><span class="file">amstex</span></samp>,
+<samp><span class="file">latex</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">plain</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">texinfo</span></samp>).
+
+ <p>The TDS allows distributions that can be used as either formats or
+packages (e.g., Texinfo, Eplain) to be stored at either level, at the
+option of the format author or TeX administrator. We recommend that
+packages used as formats at a particular site be stored at the
+<samp><var>format</var></samp> level: by adjusting the TeX inputs search path,
+it will be straightforward to use them as macro packages under another
+format, whereas placing them in another tree completely obscures their
+use as a format.
+
+ <p>The TDS reserves the following <samp><var>format</var></samp> names:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">generic</span></samp>',
+for input files that are useful across a wide
+range of formats (examples: <samp><span class="file">null.tex</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">path.sty</span></samp>).
+Generally, this means any format that uses the category codes of Plain
+TeX and does not rely on any particular format. This is in contrast
+to those files which are useful only with Plain TeX (which go under
+<samp><span class="file">texmf/tex/plain</span></samp>), e.g., <samp><span class="file">testfont.tex</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">plain.tex</span></samp>
+itself.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">local</span></samp>',
+for local additions. See Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Local-additions">Local additions</a>.
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Thus, for almost every format, it is necessary to search at least the
+<samp><var>format</var></samp> directory and then the <samp><span class="file">generic</span></samp> directory (in
+that order). Other directories may need to be searched as well,
+depending on the format. When using AMS-TeX, for example, the
+<samp><span class="file">amstex</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">plain</span></samp>, and <samp><span class="file">generic</span></samp> directories should be
+searched, because AMS-TeX is compatible with Plain.
+
+ <li>`<samp><var>package</var></samp>'
+is a TeX package name (examples:
+<samp><span class="file">babel</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">texdraw</span></samp>).
+
+ <p>In the case where a format consists of only a single file and has no
+auxiliary packages, that file can simply be placed in the
+<samp><var>format</var></samp> directory, instead of
+<samp><var>format</var><span class="file">/base</span></samp>. For example, Texinfo may go in
+<samp><span class="file">texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex</span></samp>, not
+<samp><span class="file">texmf/tex/texinfo/base/texinfo.tex</span></samp>.
+
+ <p>The TDS reserves the following <samp><var>package</var></samp> names:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">base</span></samp>',
+for the base distribution of each format,
+including files used by INITEX when dumping format files. For
+example, in the standard LaTeX distribution, the <samp><span class="file">ltx</span></samp> files
+created during the build process. Another example: the <samp><span class="file">.ini</span></samp>
+driver files for formats used by TeX Live and other distributions.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">hyphen</span></samp>',
+for hyphenation patterns, including the original
+American English <samp><span class="file">hyphen.tex</span></samp>. These are typically used only by
+INITEX. In most situations, this directory need exist only under the
+<samp><span class="file">generic</span></samp> format.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">images</span></samp>',
+for image input files, such as Encapsulated
+PostScript figures. Although it is somewhat non-intuitive for these to
+be under a directory named <samp><span class="file">tex</span></samp>, TeX needs to read these
+files to glean bounding box or other information. A mechanism for
+sharing image inputs between TeX and other typesetting programs
+(e.g., Interleaf, FrameMaker) is beyond the scope of the
+TDS. In most situations, this directory need exist only under
+the <samp><span class="file">generic</span></samp> format.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">local</span></samp>',
+for local additions and configuration files. See
+Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Local-additions">Local additions</a>.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">misc</span></samp>',
+for packages that consist of a single file. An
+administrator or package maintainer may create directories for
+single-file packages at their discretion, instead of using <samp><span class="file">misc</span></samp>.

+
+<p>TeX has spawned many companion and successor programs (&ldquo;engines&rdquo;),
+such as PDFTeX, Omega, and others. The TDS specifies
+that the input files for such programs (using a TeX-like syntax) be
+placed within the top-level <samp><span class="file">tex</span></samp> directory, either at the top
+level or within a format subdirectory, even though the original TeX
+program may not be able to read them. For example:
+
+<pre class="example"> texmf/tex/aleph
+ texmf/tex/enctex
+</pre>
+ <p>This is a change from TDS&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->1.0, which specified top-level
+<samp><var>extension</var></samp> directories for each such program. We felt the
+new approach is preferable, because:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>Authors of relevant packages typically make their code detect the
+engine being used, and issue error messages or adapt to circumstances
+appropriately. Furthermore, as a package matures, it may support
+multiple engines. Thus, a package could conceivably be placed in any of
+several top-level directories, at different times. Putting all packages
+under the top-level <samp><span class="file">tex</span></samp> directory provides a stable location over
+time.
+
+ <li>Users need to be able to switch between engines, and configuring
+different search paths for each engine is difficult and error-prone.
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Thus, in practice, having different top-level directories caused
+difficulties for everyone involved&mdash;users, package authors, site
+administrators, and system distributors.
+
+ <p>Please contrast this approach with the <samp><var>implementation</var></samp>
+top-level subdirectory (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Top_002dlevel-directories">Top-level directories</a>), which
+is to be used for configuration files that (presumably) do not use
+TeX syntax and in any case should not be found along the main TeX
+input search path.

+
+<p>Font files are stored in separate directories, segregated by file type,
+and then (in most cases) font supplier and typeface. PK and
+GF files need additional structure, as detailed in the next
+section.
+
+<pre class="example"> texmf/fonts/<var>type</var>/<var>supplier</var>/<var>typeface</var>/
+ texmf/fonts/enc,lig,map/<var>subpath</var>/
+</pre>
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><var>type</var></samp>'
+is the type of font file. The TDS
+reserves the following <samp><var>type</var></samp> names for common TeX file
+types:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">afm</span></samp>',
+for Adobe font metrics, and <samp><span class="file">inf</span></samp> files.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">gf</span></samp>',
+for generic font bitmap files.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">opentype</span></samp>',
+for OpenType fonts.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">pk</span></samp>',
+for packed bitmap files.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">source</span></samp>',
+for font sources (Metafont files, property lists, etc.).
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">tfm</span></samp>',
+for TeX font metric files.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">truetype</span></samp>',
+for TrueType fonts.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">type1</span></samp>',
+for PostScript Type 1 fonts (in <samp><span class="file">pfa</span></samp>,
+ <samp><span class="file">pfb</span></samp>, or any other format), and <samp><span class="file">pfm</span></samp> files.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">type3</span></samp>',
+for PostScript Type 3 fonts.
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">vf</span></samp>',
+for virtual fonts.
+</ul>
+
+ <p>The TDS also reserves the names <samp><span class="file">enc</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">lig</span></samp>, and
+<samp><span class="file">map</span></samp> for font encoding, ligature, and mapping files, respectively.
+All of these directories are structured the same way, with
+<samp><var>syntax</var></samp> subdirectories, and then <samp><var>package</var></samp>
+subsubdirectories. Each of these file types is intended to be searched
+along its own recursively-searched path. The names of the actual files
+must be unique within their subtree, as usual. Examples:
+ <pre class="example"> fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm.map
+ fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm.map
+ fonts/enc/dvips/base/8r.enc
+ </pre>
+ <p>The Fontname and Dvips packages have more examples of the <samp><span class="file">enc</span></samp> and
+<samp><span class="file">map</span></samp> types. The <samp><span class="file">afm2pl</span></samp> program uses <samp><span class="file">lig</span></samp> files.
+
+ <p><samp><span class="file">pfm</span></samp> files are included in the <samp><span class="file">type1</span></samp> directory, instead of
+being given their own directory, for two reasons: 1)&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->a <samp><span class="file">.pfm</span></samp> file
+is always an adjunct to a given <samp><span class="file">.pfb</span></samp> file; 2)&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->they must be
+installed from the same directory for Windows programs other than TeX
+to use them.
+
+ <p><samp><span class="file">inf</span></samp> files are included in the <samp><span class="file">afm</span></samp> directory, since
+an <samp><span class="file">inf</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">afm</span></samp> file can be used to generate a <samp><span class="file">pfm</span></samp>.
+(Unfortunately, Adobe Type Manager and perhaps other software requires
+that the <samp><span class="file">pfb</span></samp> be in the same directory as <samp><span class="file">afm</span></samp> and
+<samp><span class="file">inf</span></samp> for installation.)
+
+ <p>As usual, a site may omit any of these directories that are unnecessary.
+<samp><span class="file">gf</span></samp> is a particularly likely candidate for omission.
+
+ <li>`<samp><var>supplier</var></samp>'
+is a name identifying font source
+(examples: <samp><span class="file">adobe</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">ams</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">public</span></samp>). The TDS
+reserves the following <samp><var>supplier</var></samp> names:

+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">ams</span></samp>',
+for the American Mathematical Society's AMS-fonts
+collection.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">local</span></samp>',
+for local additions. See Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Local-additions">Local additions</a>.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">public</span></samp>',
+for freely redistributable fonts where the supplier
+neither (1)&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->requested their own directory (e.g., <samp><span class="file">ams</span></samp>), nor
+(2)&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->also made proprietary fonts (e.g., <samp><span class="file">adobe</span></samp>). It does not
+contain all extant freely distributable fonts, nor are all files therein
+necessarily strictly public domain.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">tmp</span></samp>',
+for dynamically-generated fonts, as is traditional on
+some systems. It may be omitted if unnecessary, as usual.
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <li>`<samp><var>typeface</var></samp>'
+is the name of a typeface family
+(examples: <samp><span class="file">cm</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">euler</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">times</span></samp>). The TDS
+reserves the following <samp><var>typeface</var></samp> names:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">cm</span></samp>' (within <samp><span class="file">public</span></samp>),
+for the 75 fonts defined in
+<cite>Computers and Typesetting, Volume&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->E</cite>.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">latex</span></samp>' (within <samp><span class="file">public</span></samp>),

+
+<h4 class="subsection">3.2.1 Font bitmaps</h4>
+
+<p>Font bitmap files require two characteristics in addition to the above
+to be uniquely identifiable: (1)&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->the type of device (i.e., mode) for
+which the font was created; (2)&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->the resolution of the bitmap.
+
+ <p>Following common practice, the TDS segregates fonts with
+different device types into separate directories. See <samp><span class="file">modes.mf</span></samp>
+in Appendix&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Related-references">Related references</a> for recommended mode names.
+
+ <p>Some printers operate at more than one resolution (e.g., at 300<span class="dmn">dpi</span> and
+600<span class="dmn">dpi</span>), but each such resolution will necessarily have a different
+mode name. Nothing further is needed, since implicit in the TeX
+system is the assumption of a single target resolution.
+
+ <p>Two naming strategies are commonly used to identify the resolution of
+bitmap font files. On systems that allow long filenames (and in the
+original Metafont program itself), the resolution is included in the
+filename (e.g., <samp><span class="file">cmr10.300pk</span></samp>). On systems which do not support
+long filenames, fonts are generally segregated into directories by
+resolution (e.g., <samp><span class="file">dpi300/cmr10.pk</span></samp>).
+
+ <p>Because the TDS cannot require long filenames, we must use the
+latter scheme for naming fonts. So we have two more subdirectory
+levels under <samp><span class="file">pk</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">gf</span></samp>:
+
+<pre class="example"> texmf/fonts/pk/<var>mode</var>/<var>supplier</var>/<var>typeface</var>/dpi<var>nnn</var>/
+ texmf/fonts/gf/<var>mode</var>/<var>supplier</var>/<var>typeface</var>/dpi<var>nnn</var>/
+</pre>
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><var>mode</var></samp>'
+is a name which identifies the device type
+(examples: <samp><span class="file">cx</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">ljfour</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">modeless</span></samp>). Usually, this is
+the name of the Metafont mode used to build the PK file. For fonts
+rendered as bitmaps by a program that does not distinguish between
+different output devices, the <samp><var>mode</var></samp> name shall be simply
+<samp><span class="file">modeless</span></samp>. The <samp><var>mode</var></samp> level shall not be omitted,
+even if only a single mode happens to be in use.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">dpi</span><var>nnn</var></samp>'
+specifies the resolution of the font
+(examples: <samp><span class="file">dpi300</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">dpi329</span></samp>). <samp><span class="file">dpi</span></samp> stands for
+dots per inch, i.e., pixels per inch. We recognize that pixels per
+millimeter is used in many parts of the world, but dpi is too
+traditional in the TeX world to consider changing now.
+
+ <p>The integer <samp><var>nnn</var></samp> is to be calculated as if using Metafont
+arithmetic and then rounded; i.e., it is the integer Metafont uses in its
+output <samp><span class="file">gf</span></samp> filename. We recognize small differences in the
+resolution are a common cause of frustration among users, however, and
+recommend implementors follow the level&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->0 DVI driver standard
+(see Appendix&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Related-references">Related references</a>) in bitmap font searches by
+allowing a fuzz of +-0.2% (with a minimum of 1) in the
+<samp><var>dpi</var></samp>.
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Implementations may provide extensions to the basic naming scheme, such
+as long filenames (as in the original Metafont) and font library files (as
+in emTeX's <samp><span class="file">.fli</span></samp> files), provided that the basic scheme is also
+supported.

+
+<p>The TWG recognizes that the use of short filenames has many
+disadvantages. The most vexing is that it results in the creation of
+dozens of different files with the same name. At a typical site,
+<samp><span class="file">cmr10.pk</span></samp> will be the filename for Computer Modern Roman 10<span class="dmn">pt</span> at
+5&ndash;10 magnifications for 2&ndash;3 modes. (Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Duplicate-filenames">Duplicate filenames</a> discusses duplicate filenames in general.)
+
+ <p>To minimize this problem, we strongly recommend that PK files
+contain enough information to identify precisely how they were created:
+at least the mode, base resolution, and magnification used to create the
+font.
+
+ <p>This information is easy to supply: a simple addition to the local modes
+used for building the fonts with Metafont will automatically provide the
+required information. If you have been using a local modes file derived
+from (or that is simply) <samp><span class="file">modes.mf</span></samp> (see Appendix&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Related-references">Related references</a>), the required information is already in your PK
+files. If not, a simple addition based on the code found in
+<samp><span class="file">modes.mf</span></samp> can be made to your local modes file and the PK
+files rebuilt.

+
+<h3 class="section">3.6 Scripts</h3>
+
+<p>The top-level <samp><span class="file">scripts</span></samp> directory is for platform-independent
+executables, such as Perl, Python, and shell scripts, and Java class
+files. Subdirectories under <samp><span class="file">scripts</span></samp> are package names. This
+eases creating distributions, by providing a common place for such
+platform-independent programs.
+
+ <p>The intent is not for all such directories to be added to a user's
+command search path, which would be quite impractical. Rather, these
+executables are primarily for the benefit of wrapper scripts in whatever
+executable directory a distribution may provide (which is not specified
+by the TDS).
+
+ <p>Truly auxiliary scripts which are invoked directly by other programs,
+rather than wrapper scripts, may also be placed here. That is,
+<samp><span class="file">scripts</span></samp> also serves as a platform-independent analog of the
+standard Unix <samp><span class="file">libexec</span></samp> directory.
+
+ <p>We recommend using extensions specifying the language (such as
+<samp><span class="file">.pl</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">.py</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">.sh</span></samp>) on these files, to help uniquely
+identify the name. Since the intent of the TDS is for programs
+in <samp><span class="file">scripts</span></samp> not to be invoked directly by users, this poses no
+inconvenience.
+
+ <p>For example, in the TeX Live distribution, the ConTeXt user-level
+program <samp><span class="file">texexec</span></samp> can exist as a small wrapper script in each
+<samp><span class="file">bin/</span><var>platform</var><span class="file">/texexec</span></samp> (which is outside the
+<samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> tree), which merely finds and calls
+<samp><span class="file">texmf/scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl</span></samp>.
+
+ <p>Examples:
+<pre class="example"> scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl
+ scripts/context/ruby/examplex.rb
+ scripts/thumbpdf/thumbpdf.pl
+</pre>
+ <p>The TDS does not specify a location for platform-dependent
+binary executables, whether auxiliary or user-level.

+<h3 class="section">3.7 Documentation</h3>
+
+<p>Most packages come with some form of documentation: user manuals,
+example files, programming guides, etc. In addition, many independent
+files not part of any macro or other package have been created to
+describe various aspects of the TeX system.
+
+ <p>The TDS specifies that these additional documentation files shall
+be stored in a structure that parallels to some extent the
+<samp><span class="file">fonts</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">tex</span></samp> directories, as follows:
+
+<pre class="example"> texmf/doc/<var>category</var>/...
+</pre>
+ <p><samp><var>category</var></samp> identifies the general topic of documentation
+that resides below it; for example, a TeX format name (<samp><span class="file">latex</span></samp>),
+program name (<samp><span class="file">bibtex</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">tex</span></samp>), language (<samp><span class="file">french</span></samp>,
+<samp><span class="file">german</span></samp>), a file format (<samp><span class="file">info</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">man</span></samp>), or other system
+components (<samp><span class="file">web</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">fonts</span></samp>).
+
+ <p>One possible arrangement is to organize <samp><span class="file">doc</span></samp> by language, with all
+the other category types below that. This helps users find
+documentation in the language(s) in which they are fluent. Neither this
+nor any other particular arrangement is required, however.
+
+ <p>Within each <samp><var>category</var></samp> tree for a TeX format, the
+directory <samp><span class="file">base</span></samp> is reserved for base documentation distributed by
+the format's maintainers.
+
+ <p>The TDS reserves the following category names:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>`<samp><span class="samp">general</span></samp>',
+for standalone documents not specific to any
+particular program (for example, Joachim Schrod's <cite>Components
+of TeX</cite>).
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">help</span></samp>',
+for meta-information, such as FAQ's,
+the TeX Catalogue, etc.
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">info</span></samp>',
+for processed Texinfo documents. (Info files, like
+anything else, may also be stored outside the TDS, at the
+installer's option.)
+
+ <li>`<samp><span class="samp">local</span></samp>',
+for local additions. See Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Local-additions">Local additions</a>.
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>The <samp><span class="file">doc</span></samp> directory is intended for implementation-independent and
+operating system-independent documentation
+files. Implementation-dependent files are best stored elsewhere, as
+provided for by the implementation and/or TeX administrator (for
+example, VMS help files under <samp><span class="file">texmf/vms/help</span></samp>).
+
+ <p>The documentation directories may contain TeX sources, DVI
+files, PostScript files, text files, example input files, or any other useful
+documentation format(s).

+
+ <ol type=1 start=1>
+
+ <li>The location of executable programs: this is too site-dependent
+even to recommend a location, let alone require one. A site may place
+executables outside the <samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> tree altogether (e.g.,
+<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin</span></samp>), in a platform-dependent directory within
+<samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp>, or elsewhere.
+
+ <li>Upgrading packages when new releases are made: we could find no
+way of introducing version specifiers into <samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> that would do more
+good than harm, or that would be practical for even a plurality of
+installations.
+
+ <li>The location of implementation-specific files (e.g., TeX
+<samp><span class="file">.fmt</span></samp> files): by their nature, these must be left to the
+implementor or TeX maintainer. See Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Example-implementation_002dspecific-trees">Example implementation-specific trees</a>.
+
+ <li>Precisely when a package or file should be considered &ldquo;local&rdquo;,
+and where such local files are installed. See Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Local-additions">Local additions</a> for more discussion.

+<br>
+</div>
+
+<h3 class="section">A.1 Portable filenames</h3>
+
+<p>The TDS cannot require any particular restriction on filenames in
+the tree, since the names of many existing TeX files conform to no
+standard scheme. For the benefit of people who wish to make a portable
+TeX distribution or installation, however, we outline here the
+necessary restrictions. The TDS specifications themselves are
+compatible with these.
+
+ <p>ISO-9660 is the only universally acceptable file system format
+for CD-ROMs. A subset thereof meets the stringent limitations of
+all operating systems in use today. It specifies the following:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>File and directory names, not including any directory path or
+extension part, may not exceed eight characters.
+
+ <li>Filenames may have a single extension. Extensions may not exceed
+three characters. Directory names may not have an extension.
+
+ <li>Names and extensions may consist of <em>only</em> the characters
+<samp><span class="file">A</span></samp>&ndash;<samp><span class="file">Z</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">0</span></samp>&ndash;<samp><span class="file">9</span></samp>, and underscore.
+Lowercase letters are excluded.
+
+ <li>A period separates the filename from the extension and is always
+present, even if the name or extension is missing (e.g.,
+<samp><span class="file">FILENAME.</span></samp> or <samp><span class="file">.EXT</span></samp>).
+
+ <li>A version number, ranging from 1&ndash;32767, is appended to the file
+extension, separated by a semicolon (e.g., <samp><span class="file">FILENAME.EXT;1</span></samp>).
+
+ <li>Only eight directory levels are allowed, including the top-level
+(mounted) directory (see Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Rooting-the-tree">Rooting the tree</a>). Thus, the
+deepest valid ISO-9660 path is:
+ <pre class="example"> texmf/L2/L3/L4/L5/L6/L7/L8/FOO.BAR;1
+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
+ </pre>
+ <p>The deepest TDS path needs only seven levels:
+ <pre class="example"> texmf/fonts/pk/cx/public/cm/dpi300/cmr10.pk
+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+ </pre>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Some systems display a modified format of ISO-9660 names,
+mapping alphabetic characters to lowercase, removing version numbers and
+trailing periods, etc.
+
+ <p>Before the December 1996 release, LaTeX used mixed-case names for
+font descriptor files. Fortunately, it never relied on case alone to
+distinguish among the files. Nowadays, it uses only monocase names.

+
+<h3 class="section">B.1 Adoption of the TDS</h3>
+
+<p>[This section is retained for historical purposes; the TDS
+is now quite firmly entrenched in most TeX distributions.]
+
+ <p>We recognize that adoption of the TDS will not be immediate or
+universal. Most TeX administrators will not be inclined to make the
+final switch until:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>Clear and demonstrable benefits can be shown for the TDS.
+<li>TDS-compliant versions of all key programs are available
+in ported, well-tested forms.
+<li>A &ldquo;settling&rdquo; period has taken place, to flush out problems. The
+public release of the first draft of this document was the first step in
+this process.
+</ul>
+
+ <p>Consequently, most of the first trials of the TDS will be made by
+members of the TDS committee and/or developers of TeX-related
+software. This has already taken place during the course of our
+deliberations (see Appendix&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Related-references">Related references</a> for a sample
+tree available electronically). They will certainly result in the
+production of a substantial number of TDS-compliant packages.
+Indeed, the teTeX and TeX Live
+distributions are TDS-compliant and in use now at many sites.
+
+ <p>Once installable forms of key TDS-compliant packages are more
+widespread, some TeX administrators will set up TDS-compliant
+trees, possibly in parallel to existing production directories. This
+testing will likely flush out problems that were not obvious in the
+confined settings of the developers' sites; for example, it should help
+to resolve system and package dependencies, package interdependencies, and
+other details not addressed by this TDS version.
+
+ <p>After most of the dust has settled, hopefully even conservative TeX
+administrators will begin to adopt the TDS. Eventually, most
+TeX sites will have adopted the common structure, and most packages
+will be readily available in TDS-compliant form.
+
+ <p>We believe that this process will occur relatively quickly. The
+TDS committee spans a wide range of interests in the TeX
+community. Consequently, we believe that most of the key issues
+involved in defining a workable TDS definition have been covered,
+often in detail. TeX developers have been consulted about
+implementation issues, and have been trying out the TDS
+arrangement. Thus, we hope for few surprises as implementations mature.
+
+ <p>Finally, there are several (current or prospective) publishers of TeX
+CD-ROMs. These publishers are highly motivated to work out
+details of TDS implementation, and their products will provide
+inexpensive and convenient ways for experimentally-minded TeX
+administrators to experiment with the TDS.

+<h3 class="section">B.2 More on subdirectory searching</h3>
+
+<p>Recursive subdirectory searching is the ability to specify a search not
+only of a specified directory <samp><var>d</var></samp>, but recursively of all
+directories below <samp><var>d</var></samp>.
+
+ <p>Since the TDS specifies precise locations for most files, with no
+extra levels of subdirectories allowed, true recursive searching is not
+actually required for a TDS-compliant implementation. We do,
+however, strongly recommend recursive searching as the most
+user-friendly and natural approach to the problem, rather than
+convoluted methods to specify paths without recursion.
+
+ <p>This feature is already supported by many implementations of TeX and
+companion utilities, for example DECUS TeX for VMS,
+Dvips(k), emTeX (and its drivers),
+PubliC TeX, Web2C, Xdvi(k),
+and Y&amp;YTeX. The Kpathsea library is a reusable
+implementation of subdirectory searching for TeX, used in a number of
+the above programs.
+
+ <p>Even if your TeX implementation does not directly support
+subdirectory searching, you may find it useful to adopt the structure if
+you do not use many fonts or packages. For instance, if you only use
+Computer Modern and AMS fonts, it would be feasible to store them
+in the TDS layout and list the directories individually in
+configuration files or environment variables.
+
+ <p>The TWG recognizes that subdirectory searching places an extra
+burden on the system and may be the source of performance bottlenecks,
+particularly on slower machines. Nevertheless, we feel that
+subdirectory searching is imperative for a well-organized TDS,
+for the reasons stated in Section&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="#Subdirectory-searching">Subdirectory searching</a>.
+Implementors are encouraged to provide enhancements to the basic
+principle of subdirectory searching to avoid performance problems, e.g.,
+the use of a filename cache (this can be as simple as a recursive
+directory listing) that is consulted before disk searching begins. If a
+match is found in the database, subdirectory searching is not required,
+and performance is thus independent of the number of subdirectories
+present on the system.
+
+ <p>Different implementations specify subdirectory searching differently.
+In the interest of typographic clarity, the examples here do not use the
+<samp><var>replaceable</var></samp> font.

+<li>Dvips:

+
+ <p>AmiWeb2c 2 is compatible with Web2c 7 to the greatest possible
+extent, so only the very few differences are described in this
+section. Detailed information about the basic concepts is given in
+the section for Web2c 7 below.
+
+ <p>Thanks to the <samp><span class="file">SELFAUTO</span></samp> mechanism of Kpathsea 3.0 no specific
+location for the installation of AmiWeb2c is required as long as the
+general structure of the distribution is preserved.
+
+ <p>In addition to Kpathsea's <samp><span class="file">//</span></samp> notation recursive path search may
+also be started by <samp><var>DEVICE</var><span class="file">:/</span></samp>, e.g., <samp><span class="file">TeXMF:/</span></samp>
+will scan this specific device completely.
+
+ <p>Binaries coming with the AmiWeb2c distribution are installed in the
+directory <samp><span class="file">bin/amiweb2c/</span></samp> outside the common TDS tree
+<samp><span class="file">share/texmf/</span></samp>. In addition to the set of AmiWeb2c binaries
+you will find two subdirectories <samp><span class="file">local/</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">pastex/</span></samp>
+with auxiliary programs.
+
+ <p>A stripped version of the PasTeX system (used by kind permission of
+Georg He&szlig;mann) is coming with AmiWeb2c, pre-installed in its own
+<samp><span class="file">share/texmf/amiweb2c/pastex/</span></samp> directory. If you want to use
+PasTeX you have to <samp><span class="file">assign</span></samp> the name <samp><span class="file">TeX:</span></samp> to this place.
+
+ <p>Documentation files in AmigaGuide format should be stored at

+<h2 class="appendix">Appendix C Is there a better way?</h2>
+
+<p>Defining the TDS required many compromises. Both the overall
+structure and the details of the individual directories were arrived at
+by finding common ground among many opinions. The driving forces were
+feasibility (in terms of what could technically be done and what could
+reasonably be expected from developers) and regularity (files grouped
+together in an arrangement that &ldquo;made sense&rdquo;).
+
+ <p>Some interesting ideas could not be applied due to implementations
+lacking the necessary support:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>Path searching control at the TeX level. If documents could
+restrict subdirectory searching to a subdirectory via some portable
+syntax in file names, restrictions on uniqueness of filenames could be
+relaxed considerably (with the cooperation of the formats), and the
+TeX search path would not need to depend on the format.
+
+ <li>Multiple logical <samp><span class="file">texmf</span></samp> trees. For example, a site might have
+one (read-only) location for stable files, and a different (writable)
+location for dynamically-created fonts or other files. It would be
+reasonable for two such trees to be logically merged when searching.
+See Michael Downes' article in the references for how this can work in
+practice with Web2C.

+<h3 class="section">C.1 Macro structure</h3>
+
+<p>The TWG settled on the
+<samp><var>format</var><span class="file">/</span><var>package</var></samp> arrangement after long
+discussion about how best to arrange the files.
+
+ <p>The primary alternative to this arrangement was a scheme which reversed
+the order of these directories:
+<samp><var>package</var><span class="file">/</span><var>format</var></samp>. This reversed
+arrangement has a strong appeal: it keeps all of the files related to a
+particular package in a single place. The arrangement actually adopted
+tends to spread files out into two or three places (macros,
+documentation, and fonts, for example, are spread into different
+sections of the tree right at the top level).
+
+ <p>Nevertheless, the <samp><var>format</var><span class="file">/</span><var>package</var></samp>
+structure won for a couple of reasons:
+
+ <ul>
+<li>It is closer to current practice; in fact, several members of the
+TWG have already implemented the TDS hierarchy. The
+alternative is not in use at any known site, and the TWG felt it
+wrong to mandate something with which there is no practical experience.
+
+ <li>The alternative arrangement increases the number of top-level
+directories, so the files that must be found using subdirectory
+searching are spread out in a wide, shallow tree. This could have a
+profound impact on the efficiency of subdirectory searching.
+
+ </ul>

+
+<h3 class="section">C.2 Font structure</h3>
+
+<p>The TWG struggled more with the font directory structure than
+anything else. This is not surprising; the need to use the proliferation
+of PostScript fonts with TeX is what made the previous arrangement
+with all files in a single directory untenable, and therefore what
+initiated the TDS effort.

+
+<h4 class="subsection">C.2.1 Font file type location</h4>
+
+<p>We considered the supplier-first arrangement in use at many sites:
+
+<pre class="example"> texmf/fonts/<var>supplier</var>/<var>typeface</var>/<var>type</var>/
+</pre>
+ <p>This improves the maintainability of the font tree, since all files
+comprising a given typeface are in one place, but unless all the
+programs that search this tree employ some form of caching, there are
+serious performance concerns. For example, in order to find a
+<samp><span class="file">TFM</span></samp> file, the simplest implementation would require TeX to
+search through all the directories that contain PK files in all
+modes and at all resolutions.
+
+ <p>In the end, a poll of developers revealed considerable resistance to
+implementing sufficient caching mechanisms, so this arrangement was
+abandoned. The TDS arrangement allows the search tree to be
+restricted to the correct type of file, at least. Concerns about
+efficiency remain, but there seems to be no more we can do without
+abandoning subdirectory searching entirely.
+
+ <p>We also considered segregating all font-related files strictly by file
+type, so that Metafont sources would be in a directory
+<samp><span class="file">texmf/fonts/mf</span></samp>, property list files in <samp><span class="file">texmf/fonts/pl</span></samp>, the
+various forms of Type&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->1 fonts separated, and so on. Although more
+blindly consistent, we felt that the drawback of more complicated path
+constructions outweighed this. The TDS merges file types
+(<samp><span class="file">mf</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">pl</span></samp> under <samp><span class="file">source</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">pfa</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">pfb</span></samp>
+and <samp><span class="file">gsf</span></samp> under <samp><span class="file">type1</span></samp>) where we felt this was beneficial.

+<pre class="example"> texmf/fonts/pk/<var>supplier</var>/<var>typeface</var>/<var>mode</var>/<var>dpi</var>/
+</pre>
+ <p>In this case, however, it is difficult to limit subdirectory searching
+to the mode required for a particular device.
+
+ <p>We then considered moving the <samp><span class="file">dpi</span><var>nnn</var></samp> up to below
+the mode:
+<pre class="example"> texmf/fonts/pk/<var>mode</var>/<var>dpi</var>/<var>supplier</var>/<var>typeface</var>/
+</pre>
+ <p>But then it is not feasible to omit the <samp><span class="file">dpi</span><var>nnn</var></samp>
+level altogether on systems which can and do choose to use long

+<br>
+</div>
+
+<h4 class="subsection">C.2.3 Modeless bitmaps</h4>
+
+<p>The TDS specifies using a single directory <samp><span class="file">modeless/</span></samp> as
+the mode name for those utilities which generate bitmaps, e.g.,
+<samp><span class="file">texmf/fonts/modeless/times/</span></samp>. This has the considerable advantage
+of not requiring each such directory name to be listed in a search path.
+
+ <p>An alternative was to use the utility name below which all such
+directories could be gathered. That has the advantage of separating,
+say, <samp><span class="file">gsftopk</span></samp>-generated bitmaps from <samp><span class="file">ps2pk</span></samp>-generated ones.
+However, we decided this was not necessary; most sites will use only one
+program for the purpose. Also, PK and GF fonts generally
+identify their creator in the font comment following the <samp><span class="file">PK_ID</span></samp>
+byte.
+
+ <p>We are making an implicit assumption that Metafont is the only program
+producing mode-dependent bitmaps. If this becomes false we could add an
+abbreviation for the program to mode names, as in <samp><span class="file">mfcx</span></samp> vs.
+<samp><span class="file">xyzcx</span></samp> for a hypothetical program Xyz, or we could
+at that time add an additional program name level uniformly to the tree.
+It seemed more important to concisely represent the current situation
+than to worry about hypothetical possibilities that may never&nbsp;<!-- /@w -->happen.

+1 Introduction
+**************
+
+TeX is a powerful, flexible typesetting system used by many people
+around the world. It is extremely portable and runs on virtually all
+operating systems. One unfortunate side effect of TeX's flexibility,
+however, is that there has been no single "right" way to install it.
+This has resulted in many sites having different installed arrangements.
+
+ The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard TeX
+Directory Structure (TDS): a directory hierarchy for macros, fonts, and
+the other implementation-independent TeX system files. As a matter of
+practicality, this document also suggests ways to incorporate the rest
+of the TeX files into a single structure. The TDS has been designed to
+work on all modern systems. In particular, the Technical Working Group
+(TWG) believes it is usable under MacOS, MS-DOS, OS/2, Unix, VMS, and
+Windows NT. We hope that administrators and developers of both free
+and commercial TeX implementations will adopt this standard.
+
+ This document is intended both for the TeX system administrator at a
+site and for people preparing TeX distributions--everything from a
+complete runnable system to a single macro or style file. It may also
+help TeX users find their way around systems organized this way. It is
+not a tutorial: we necessarily assume knowledge of the many parts of a
+working TeX system. If you are unfamiliar with any of the programs or
+file formats we refer to, consult the references in Appendix *Note
+Related references::.

+===========
+
+Version 1.0 of the TDS was released in February 2003.
+
+ Version 1.1 was released in June 2004, with the following
+non-editorial changes:
+
+ * Inputs for TeX extensions included under `tex', instead of
+ in their own top-level directories (Section *Note Extensions::)
+
+ * New top-level directory `scripts' (Section *Note Scripts::).
+
+ * New subdirectories `lig', `opentype', `truetype', and
+ `type3' under `fonts' (Section *Note Fonts::).
+
+ * `enc', `lig', and `map' all use `SYNTAX/PACKAGE'
+ subdirectories (Section *Note Fonts::).
+
+ * `pfm' files specified to go under `type1', and `inf' files
+ under `afm' (Section *Note Fonts::).

+
+1.2 The role of the TDS
+=======================
+
+The role of the TDS is to stabilize the organization of TeX-related
+software packages that are installed and in use, possibly on multiple
+platforms simultaneously.
+
+ At first glance, it may seem that the Comprehensive TeX Archive
+Network (CTAN) fulfills at least part of this role, but this is not the
+case. The role of CTAN is to simplify archiving and distribution, not
+installation and use.
+
+ In fact, the roles of the TDS and CTAN are frequently in conflict,
+as we will see. For distribution, many different types of files must
+be combined into a single unit; for use, it is traditional to segregate
+files (even similar files) from a single package into separate,
+occasionally distant, directories.
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Conventions, Prev: The role of the TDS, Up: Introduction
+
+1.3 Conventions
+===============
+
+In this document, `/' is used to separate filename components; for
+example, `texmf/fonts'. This is the Unix convention but the ideas are
+in no way Unix-specific.
+
+ In this document, "TeX" generally means the TeX system, including
+Metafont, DVI drivers, utilities, etc., not just the TeX program itself.
+
+ The word "package" in this document has its usual meaning: a set of
+related files distributed, installed, and maintained as a unit. This is
+_not_ a LaTeX2e package, which is a style file supplementing a document
+class.
+
+ We use the following typographic conventions:
+
+ * `literal' Literal text such as `filename' is typeset in typewriter
+ type.
+
+ * `REPLACEABLE' Replaceable text such as `PACKAGE', identifying a
+ class of things, is typeset in italics inside angle brackets.

+
+2.1 Subdirectory searching
+==========================
+
+Older TeX installations store large numbers of related files in single
+directories, for example, all `TFM' files and/or all TeX input files.
+
+ This monolithic arrangement hinders maintenance of a TeX system: it
+is difficult to determine what files are used by what packages, what
+files need to be updated when a new version is installed, or what files
+should be deleted if a package is removed. It is also a source of error
+if two or more packages happen to have input files with the same name.
+
+ Therefore, the TWG felt each package should be in a separate
+directory. But we recognized that explicitly listing all directories to
+be searched would be unbearable. A site may wish to install dozens of
+packages. Aside from anything else, listing that many directories would
+produce search paths many thousands of characters long, overflowing the
+available space on some systems.
+
+ Also, if all directories are explicitly listed, installing or
+removing a new package would mean changing a path as well as installing
+or removing the actual files. This would be a time-consuming and
+error-prone operation, even with implementations that provide some way
+to specify the directories to search at runtime. On systems without
+runtime configuration, it would require recompiling software, an
+intolerable burden.
+
+ As a result, the TWG concluded that a comprehensive TDS requires
+implementations to support some form of implicit subdirectory
+searching. More precisely, implementations must make it possible to
+specify that TeX, Metafont, and their companion utilities search in both
+a specified directory and recursively through all subdirectories of that
+directory when looking for an input file. Other forms of subdirectory
+searching, for example recursive-to-one-level searches, may also be
+provided. We encourage implementors to provide subdirectory searching
+at the option of the installer and user for all paths.
+
+ The TDS does not specify a syntax for specifying recursive
+searching, but we encourage implementors to provide interoperability
+(see Section *Note More on subdirectory searching::).
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Rooting the tree, Next: Local additions, Prev: Subdirectory searching, Up: General
+
+2.2 Rooting the tree
+====================
+
+In this document, we shall designate the root TDS directory by `texmf'
+(for "TeX and Metafont"). We recommend using that name where possible,
+but the actual name of the directory is up to the installer. On PC
+networks, for example, this could map to a logical drive specification
+such as `T:'.
+
+ Similarly, the location of this directory on the system is
+site-dependent. It may be at the root of the file system; on Unix
+systems, `/usr/local/share', `/usr/local', `/usr/local/lib', and `/opt'
+are common choices.
+
+ The name `texmf' was chosen for several reasons: it reflects the fact
+that the directory contains files pertaining to an entire TeX system
+(including Metafont, MetaPost, BibTeX, etc.), not just TeX itself; and
+it is descriptive of a generic installation rather than a particular
+implementation.
+
+ A site may choose to have more than one TDS hierarchy installed (for
+example, when installing an upgrade). This is perfectly legitimate.
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Local additions, Next: Duplicate filenames, Prev: Rooting the tree, Up: General
+
+2.3 Local additions
+===================
+
+The TDS cannot specify precisely when a package is or is not a "local
+addition". Each site must determine this according to its own
+conventions. At the two extremes, one site might wish to consider
+"nonlocal" all files not acquired as part of the installed TeX
+distribution; another site might consider "local" only those files that
+were actually developed at the local site and not distributed elsewhere.
+
+ We recognize two common methods for local additions to a distributed
+`texmf' tree. Both have their place; in fact, some sites employ both
+simultaneously:
+
+ 1. A completely separate tree which is a TDS structure itself; for
+ example, `/usr/local/umbtex' at the University of Massachusetts at
+ Boston. This is another example of the multiple `texmf'
+ hierarchies mentioned in the previous section.
+
+ 2. A directory named `local' at any appropriate level, for example,
+ in the `FORMAT', `PACKAGE', and `SUPPLIER' directories discussed
+ in the following sections. The TDS reserves the directory name
+ `local' for this purpose.
+
+ We recommend using `local' for site-adapted configuration files,
+ such as `language.dat' for the Babel package or `graphics.cfg' for
+ the graphics package. Unmodified configuration files from a
+ package should remain in the package directory. The intent is to
+ separate locally modified or created files from distribution
+ files, to ease installing new releases.
+
+
+ One common case of local additions is dynamically generated files,
+e.g., PK fonts by the `mktexpk' script (which originated in Dvips as
+`MakeTeXPK'). A site may store the generated files directly in any of:
+ * their standard location in the main TDS tree (if it can be made
+ globally writable);
+
+ * an alternative location in the main TDS tree (for example, under
+ `texmf/fonts/tmp');
+
+ * a second complete TDS tree (as outlined above);
+
+ * any other convenient directory (perhaps under `/var', for example
+ `/var/spool/fonts').
+
+
+ No one solution will be appropriate for all sites.
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Duplicate filenames, Prev: Local additions, Up: General
+
+2.4 Duplicate filenames
+=======================
+
+Different files by the same name may exist in a TDS tree. The TDS
+generally leaves unspecified which of two files by the same name in a
+search path will be found, so generally the only way to reliably find a
+given file is for it to have a unique name. However, the TDS requires
+implementations to support the following exceptions:
+
+ * Names of TeX input files must be unique within each first-level
+ subdirectory of `texmf/tex' and `texmf/tex/generic', but not
+ within all of `texmf/tex'; i.e., different TeX formats may have
+ files by the same name. (Section *Note Macros:: discusses this
+ further.) Thus, no single format-independent path specification,
+ such as a recursive search beginning at `texmf/tex' specifying no
+ other directories, suffices. So implementations must provide
+ format-dependent path specifications, for example via wrapper
+ scripts or configuration files.
+
+ * Many font files will have the same name (e.g., `cmr10.pk'), as
+ discussed in Section *Note Valid font bitmaps::. Implementations
+ must distinguish these files by mode and resolution.
+
+
+ All implementations we know of already have these capabilities.
+
+ One place where duplicate names are likely to occur is not an
+exception:
+
+ * Names of Metafont input files (as opposed to bitmaps) must be
+ unique within all of `texmf/fonts'. In practice, this is a problem
+ with some variants of Computer Modern which contain slightly
+ modified files named `punct.mf', `romanl.mf', and so on. We
+ believe the only feasible solution is to rename the derivative
+ files to be unique.
+
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Top-level directories, Next: Summary, Prev: General, Up: Top
+
+3 Top-level directories
+***********************
+
+The directories under the `texmf' root identify the major components of
+a TeX system (see Section *Note Summary:: for a summary). A site may
+omit any unneeded directories.
+
+ Although the TDS by its nature can specify precise locations only
+for implementation-independent files, we recognize that installers may
+well wish to place other files under `texmf' to simplify administration
+of the TeX tree, especially if it is maintained by someone other than
+the system administrator. Therefore, additional top-level directories
+may be present.
+
+ The top-level directories specified by the TDS are:
+
+ * `tex' for TeX files (Section *Note Macros::).
+
+ * `fonts' for font-related files (Section *Note Fonts::).
+
+ * `metafont' for Metafont files which are not fonts (Section *Note
+ Non-font Metafont files::).
+
+ * `metapost' for MetaPost files (Section *Note MetaPost::).
+
+ * `bibtex' for BibTeX files (Section *Note BibTeX::).
+
+ * `scripts' for platform-independent executables (Section *Note
+ Scripts::).
+
+ * `doc' for user documentation (Section *Note Documentation::).
+
+ * `source' for sources. This includes both traditional program
+ sources (for example, Web2C sources go in `texmf/source/web2c')
+ and, e.g., LaTeX `dtx' sources (which go in `texmf/source/latex').
+ The TDS leaves unspecified any structure under `source'.
+
+ `source' is intended for files which are not needed at runtime by
+ any TeX program; it should not be included in any search path. For
+ example, `plain.tex' does not belong under `texmf/source', even
+ though it is a "source file" in the sense of not being derived
+ from another file. (It goes in `texmf/tex/plain/base', as explained
+ in Section *Note Macros::).
+
+ * `IMPLEMENTATION' for implementations (examples: `emtex', `vtex',
+ `web2c'), to be used for whatever purpose deemed suitable by the
+ implementor or TeX administrator. That is, files that cannot be
+ shared between implementations, such as pool files (`tex.pool')
+ and memory dump files (`plain.fmt') go here, in addition to
+ implementation-wide configuration files. See Section *Note
+ Example implementation-specific trees:: for examples of real
+ `IMPLEMENTATION' trees.
+
+ Such implementation-specific configuration files should _not_ be
+ located using the main TeX input search path (e.g., `TEXINPUTS').
+ This must be reserved for files actually read by a TeX engine.
+ See Section *Note Extensions::.
+
+ * `PROGRAM' for program-specific input and configuration files for
+ any TeX-related programs (examples: `mft', `dvips'). In fact, the
+ `tex', `metafont', `metapost', and `bibtex' items above may all be
+ seen as instances of this case.

+
+3.1 Macros
+==========
+
+TeX macro files shall be stored in separate directories, segregated by
+TeX format and package name (we use `format' in its traditional TeX
+sense to mean a usefully `\dump'-able package):
+ texmf/tex/FORMAT/PACKAGE/
+
+ * `FORMAT' is a format name (examples: `amstex', `latex', `plain',
+ `texinfo').
+
+ The TDS allows distributions that can be used as either formats or
+ packages (e.g., Texinfo, Eplain) to be stored at either level, at
+ the option of the format author or TeX administrator. We recommend
+ that packages used as formats at a particular site be stored at the
+ `FORMAT' level: by adjusting the TeX inputs search path, it will
+ be straightforward to use them as macro packages under another
+ format, whereas placing them in another tree completely obscures
+ their use as a format.
+
+ The TDS reserves the following `FORMAT' names:
+
+ * `generic', for input files that are useful across a wide
+ range of formats (examples: `null.tex', `path.sty').
+ Generally, this means any format that uses the category codes
+ of Plain TeX and does not rely on any particular format.
+ This is in contrast to those files which are useful only with
+ Plain TeX (which go under `texmf/tex/plain'), e.g.,
+ `testfont.tex' and `plain.tex' itself.
+
+ * `local', for local additions. See Section *Note Local
+ additions::.
+
+
+ Thus, for almost every format, it is necessary to search at least
+ the `FORMAT' directory and then the `generic' directory (in that
+ order). Other directories may need to be searched as well,
+ depending on the format. When using AMS-TeX, for example, the
+ `amstex', `plain', and `generic' directories should be searched,
+ because AMS-TeX is compatible with Plain.
+
+ * `PACKAGE' is a TeX package name (examples: `babel', `texdraw').
+
+ In the case where a format consists of only a single file and has
+ no auxiliary packages, that file can simply be placed in the
+ `FORMAT' directory, instead of `FORMAT/base'. For example,
+ Texinfo may go in `texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex', not
+ `texmf/tex/texinfo/base/texinfo.tex'.
+
+ The TDS reserves the following `PACKAGE' names:
+
+ * `base', for the base distribution of each format, including
+ files used by INITEX when dumping format files. For example,
+ in the standard LaTeX distribution, the `ltx' files created
+ during the build process. Another example: the `.ini' driver
+ files for formats used by TeX Live and other distributions.
+
+ * `hyphen', for hyphenation patterns, including the original
+ American English `hyphen.tex'. These are typically used only
+ by INITEX. In most situations, this directory need exist
+ only under the `generic' format.
+
+ * `images', for image input files, such as Encapsulated
+ PostScript figures. Although it is somewhat non-intuitive for
+ these to be under a directory named `tex', TeX needs to read
+ these files to glean bounding box or other information. A
+ mechanism for sharing image inputs between TeX and other
+ typesetting programs (e.g., Interleaf, FrameMaker) is beyond
+ the scope of the TDS. In most situations, this directory need
+ exist only under the `generic' format.
+
+ * `local', for local additions and configuration files. See
+ Section *Note Local additions::.
+
+ * `misc', for packages that consist of a single file. An
+ administrator or package maintainer may create directories for
+ single-file packages at their discretion, instead of using
+ `misc'.

+File: tds.info, Node: Extensions, Up: Macros
+
+3.1.1 Extensions
+----------------
+
+TeX has spawned many companion and successor programs ("engines"), such
+as PDFTeX, Omega, and others. The TDS specifies that the input files
+for such programs (using a TeX-like syntax) be placed within the
+top-level `tex' directory, either at the top level or within a format
+subdirectory, even though the original TeX program may not be able to
+read them. For example:
+
+ texmf/tex/aleph
+ texmf/tex/enctex
+
+ This is a change from TDS 1.0, which specified top-level `EXTENSION'
+directories for each such program. We felt the new approach is
+preferable, because:
+
+ * Authors of relevant packages typically make their code detect the
+ engine being used, and issue error messages or adapt to
+ circumstances appropriately. Furthermore, as a package matures,
+ it may support multiple engines. Thus, a package could
+ conceivably be placed in any of several top-level directories, at
+ different times. Putting all packages under the top-level `tex'
+ directory provides a stable location over time.
+
+ * Users need to be able to switch between engines, and configuring
+ different search paths for each engine is difficult and
+ error-prone.
+
+
+ Thus, in practice, having different top-level directories caused
+difficulties for everyone involved--users, package authors, site
+administrators, and system distributors.
+
+ Please contrast this approach with the `IMPLEMENTATION' top-level
+subdirectory (Section *Note Top-level directories::), which is to be
+used for configuration files that (presumably) do not use TeX syntax
+and in any case should not be found along the main TeX input search
+path.

+

+
+3.2 Fonts
+=========
+
+Font files are stored in separate directories, segregated by file type,
+and then (in most cases) font supplier and typeface. PK and GF files
+need additional structure, as detailed in the next section.
+
+ texmf/fonts/TYPE/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/
+ texmf/fonts/enc,lig,map/SUBPATH/
+
+ * `TYPE' is the type of font file. The TDS reserves the following
+ `TYPE' names for common TeX file types:
+
+ * `afm', for Adobe font metrics, and `inf' files.
+
+ * `gf', for generic font bitmap files.
+
+ * `opentype', for OpenType fonts.
+
+ * `pk', for packed bitmap files.
+
+ * `source', for font sources (Metafont files, property lists,
+ etc.).
+
+ * `tfm', for TeX font metric files.
+
+ * `truetype', for TrueType fonts.
+
+ * `type1', for PostScript Type 1 fonts (in `pfa', `pfb',
+ or any other format), and `pfm' files.
+
+ * `type3', for PostScript Type 3 fonts.
+
+ * `vf', for virtual fonts.
+
+ The TDS also reserves the names `enc', `lig', and `map' for font
+ encoding, ligature, and mapping files, respectively. All of these
+ directories are structured the same way, with `SYNTAX'
+ subdirectories, and then `PACKAGE' subsubdirectories. Each of
+ these file types is intended to be searched along its own
+ recursively-searched path. The names of the actual files must be
+ unique within their subtree, as usual. Examples:
+ fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm.map
+ fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm.map
+ fonts/enc/dvips/base/8r.enc
+
+ The Fontname and Dvips packages have more examples of the `enc' and
+ `map' types. The `afm2pl' program uses `lig' files.
+
+ `pfm' files are included in the `type1' directory, instead of
+ being given their own directory, for two reasons: 1) a `.pfm' file
+ is always an adjunct to a given `.pfb' file; 2) they must be
+ installed from the same directory for Windows programs other than
+ TeX to use them.
+
+ `inf' files are included in the `afm' directory, since an `inf'
+ and `afm' file can be used to generate a `pfm'. (Unfortunately,
+ Adobe Type Manager and perhaps other software requires that the
+ `pfb' be in the same directory as `afm' and `inf' for
+ installation.)
+
+ As usual, a site may omit any of these directories that are
+ unnecessary. `gf' is a particularly likely candidate for omission.
+
+ * `SUPPLIER' is a name identifying font source (examples: `adobe',
+ `ams', `public'). The TDS reserves the following `SUPPLIER' names:
+
+ * `ams', for the American Mathematical Society's AMS-fonts
+ collection.
+
+ * `local', for local additions. See Section *Note Local
+ additions::.
+
+ * `public', for freely redistributable fonts where the supplier
+ neither (1) requested their own directory (e.g., `ams'), nor
+ (2) also made proprietary fonts (e.g., `adobe'). It does not
+ contain all extant freely distributable fonts, nor are all
+ files therein necessarily strictly public domain.
+
+ * `tmp', for dynamically-generated fonts, as is traditional on
+ some systems. It may be omitted if unnecessary, as usual.
+
+
+ * `TYPEFACE' is the name of a typeface family (examples: `cm',
+ `euler', `times'). The TDS reserves the following `TYPEFACE' names:
+
+ * `cm' (within `public'), for the 75 fonts defined in
+ `Computers and Typesetting, Volume E'.
+
+ * `latex' (within `public'), for those fonts distributed with
+ LaTeX in the base distribution.
+
+ * `local', for local additions. See Section *Note Local
+ additions::.
+
+
+
+ Some concrete examples:
+ texmf/fonts/source/public/pandora/pnr10.mf
+ texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
+ texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/utopia/putr.pfa

+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Font bitmaps, Next: Valid font bitmaps, Up: Fonts
+
+3.2.1 Font bitmaps
+------------------
+
+Font bitmap files require two characteristics in addition to the above
+to be uniquely identifiable: (1) the type of device (i.e., mode) for
+which the font was created; (2) the resolution of the bitmap.
+
+ Following common practice, the TDS segregates fonts with different
+device types into separate directories. See `modes.mf' in
+Appendix *Note Related references:: for recommended mode names.
+
+ Some printers operate at more than one resolution (e.g., at 300dpi
+and 600dpi), but each such resolution will necessarily have a different
+mode name. Nothing further is needed, since implicit in the TeX system
+is the assumption of a single target resolution.
+
+ Two naming strategies are commonly used to identify the resolution of
+bitmap font files. On systems that allow long filenames (and in the
+original Metafont program itself), the resolution is included in the
+filename (e.g., `cmr10.300pk'). On systems which do not support long
+filenames, fonts are generally segregated into directories by
+resolution (e.g., `dpi300/cmr10.pk').
+
+ Because the TDS cannot require long filenames, we must use the
+latter scheme for naming fonts. So we have two more subdirectory levels
+under `pk' and `gf':
+
+ texmf/fonts/pk/MODE/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/dpiNNN/
+ texmf/fonts/gf/MODE/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/dpiNNN/
+
+ * `MODE' is a name which identifies the device type (examples: `cx',
+ `ljfour', `modeless'). Usually, this is the name of the Metafont
+ mode used to build the PK file. For fonts rendered as bitmaps by
+ a program that does not distinguish between different output
+ devices, the `MODE' name shall be simply `modeless'. The `MODE'
+ level shall not be omitted, even if only a single mode happens to
+ be in use.
+
+ * `dpiNNN' specifies the resolution of the font (examples: `dpi300',
+ `dpi329'). `dpi' stands for dots per inch, i.e., pixels per inch.
+ We recognize that pixels per millimeter is used in many parts of
+ the world, but dpi is too traditional in the TeX world to consider
+ changing now.
+
+ The integer `NNN' is to be calculated as if using Metafont
+ arithmetic and then rounded; i.e., it is the integer Metafont uses
+ in its output `gf' filename. We recognize small differences in the
+ resolution are a common cause of frustration among users, however,
+ and recommend implementors follow the level 0 DVI driver standard
+ (see Appendix *Note Related references::) in bitmap font searches
+ by allowing a fuzz of +-0.2% (with a minimum of 1) in the `DPI'.
+
+
+ Implementations may provide extensions to the basic naming scheme,
+such as long filenames (as in the original Metafont) and font library
+files (as in emTeX's `.fli' files), provided that the basic scheme is
+also supported.
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Valid font bitmaps, Prev: Font bitmaps, Up: Fonts
+
+3.2.2 Valid font bitmaps
+------------------------
+
+The TWG recognizes that the use of short filenames has many
+disadvantages. The most vexing is that it results in the creation of
+dozens of different files with the same name. At a typical site,
+`cmr10.pk' will be the filename for Computer Modern Roman 10pt at 5-10
+magnifications for 2-3 modes. (Section *Note Duplicate filenames::
+discusses duplicate filenames in general.)
+
+ To minimize this problem, we strongly recommend that PK files
+contain enough information to identify precisely how they were created:
+at least the mode, base resolution, and magnification used to create the
+font.
+
+ This information is easy to supply: a simple addition to the local
+modes used for building the fonts with Metafont will automatically
+provide the required information. If you have been using a local modes
+file derived from (or that is simply) `modes.mf' (see Appendix *Note
+Related references::), the required information is already in your PK
+files. If not, a simple addition based on the code found in `modes.mf'
+can be made to your local modes file and the PK files rebuilt.

+
+3.3 Non-font Metafont files
+===========================
+
+Most Metafont input files are font programs or parts of font programs
+and are thus covered by the previous section. However, a few non-font
+input files do exist. Such files shall be stored in:
+
+ texmf/metafont/PACKAGE/
+
+ `PACKAGE' is the name of a Metafont package (for example, `mfpic').
+
+ The TDS reserves the following `PACKAGE' names:
+
+ * `base', for the standard Metafont macro files as described in `The
+ Metafontbook', such as `plain.mf' and `expr.mf'.
+
+ * `local', for local additions. See Section *Note Local additions::.
+
+ * `misc', for Metafont packages consisting of only a single file
+ (for example, `modes.mf'). An administrator or package maintainer
+ may create directories for single-file packages at their
+ discretion, instead of using `misc'.

+3.4 MetaPost
+============
+
+MetaPost is a picture-drawing language developed by John Hobby, derived
+from Knuth's Metafont. Its primary purpose is to output Encapsulated
+PostScript instead of bitmaps.
+
+ MetaPost input files and the support files for MetaPost-related
+utilities shall be stored in:
+
+ texmf/metapost/PACKAGE/
+
+ `PACKAGE' is the name of a MetaPost package. At the present writing
+none exist, but the TWG thought it prudent to leave room for
+contributed packages that might be written in the future.
+
+ The TDS reserves the following `PACKAGE' names:
+
+ * `base', for the standard MetaPost macro files, such as `plain.mp',
+ `mfplain.mp', `boxes.mp', and `graph.mp'. This includes files
+ used by INIMP when dumping mem files containing preloaded macro
+ definitions.
+
+ * `local', for local additions. See Section *Note Local additions::.
+
+ * `misc', for MetaPost packages consisting of only a single file.
+ An administrator or package maintainer may create directories for
+ single-file packages at their discretion, instead of using `misc'.
+
+ * `support', for additional input files required by MetaPost utility
+ programs, including a font map, a character adjustment table, and
+ a subdirectory containing low-level MetaPost programs for rendering
+ some special characters.

+3.5 BibTeX
+==========
+
+BibTeX-related files shall be stored in:
+
+ texmf/bibtex/bib/PACKAGE/
+ texmf/bibtex/bst/PACKAGE/
+
+ The `bib' directory is for BibTeX database (`.bib') files, the `bst'
+directory for style (`.bst') files.
+
+ `PACKAGE' is the name of a BibTeX package. The TDS reserves the
+following `PACKAGE' names (the same names are reserved under both `bib'
+and `bst'):
+
+ * `base', for the standard BibTeX databases and styles, such as
+ `xampl.bib', `plain.bst'.
+
+ * `local', for local additions. See Section *Note Local additions::.
+
+ * `misc', for BibTeX packages consisting of only a single file. An
+ administrator or package maintainer may create directories for
+ single-file packages at their discretion, instead of using `misc'.
+
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Scripts, Next: Documentation, Prev: BibTeX, Up: Top-level directories
+
+3.6 Scripts
+===========
+
+The top-level `scripts' directory is for platform-independent
+executables, such as Perl, Python, and shell scripts, and Java class
+files. Subdirectories under `scripts' are package names. This eases
+creating distributions, by providing a common place for such
+platform-independent programs.
+
+ The intent is not for all such directories to be added to a user's
+command search path, which would be quite impractical. Rather, these
+executables are primarily for the benefit of wrapper scripts in whatever
+executable directory a distribution may provide (which is not specified
+by the TDS).
+
+ Truly auxiliary scripts which are invoked directly by other programs,
+rather than wrapper scripts, may also be placed here. That is,
+`scripts' also serves as a platform-independent analog of the standard
+Unix `libexec' directory.
+
+ We recommend using extensions specifying the language (such as
+`.pl', `.py', `.sh') on these files, to help uniquely identify the
+name. Since the intent of the TDS is for programs in `scripts' not to
+be invoked directly by users, this poses no inconvenience.
+
+ For example, in the TeX Live distribution, the ConTeXt user-level
+program `texexec' can exist as a small wrapper script in each
+`bin/PLATFORM/texexec' (which is outside the `texmf' tree), which
+merely finds and calls `texmf/scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl'.
+
+ Examples:
+ scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl
+ scripts/context/ruby/examplex.rb
+ scripts/thumbpdf/thumbpdf.pl
+
+ The TDS does not specify a location for platform-dependent binary
+executables, whether auxiliary or user-level.

+
+3.7 Documentation
+=================
+
+Most packages come with some form of documentation: user manuals,
+example files, programming guides, etc. In addition, many independent
+files not part of any macro or other package have been created to
+describe various aspects of the TeX system.
+
+ The TDS specifies that these additional documentation files shall be
+stored in a structure that parallels to some extent the `fonts' and
+`tex' directories, as follows:
+
+ texmf/doc/CATEGORY/...
+
+ `CATEGORY' identifies the general topic of documentation that
+resides below it; for example, a TeX format name (`latex'), program
+name (`bibtex', `tex'), language (`french', `german'), a file format
+(`info', `man'), or other system components (`web', `fonts').
+
+ One possible arrangement is to organize `doc' by language, with all
+the other category types below that. This helps users find
+documentation in the language(s) in which they are fluent. Neither this
+nor any other particular arrangement is required, however.
+
+ Within each `CATEGORY' tree for a TeX format, the directory `base'
+is reserved for base documentation distributed by the format's
+maintainers.
+
+ The TDS reserves the following category names:
+
+ * `general', for standalone documents not specific to any particular
+ program (for example, Joachim Schrod's `Components of TeX').
+
+ * `help', for meta-information, such as FAQ's, the TeX Catalogue,
+ etc.
+
+ * `info', for processed Texinfo documents. (Info files, like
+ anything else, may also be stored outside the TDS, at the
+ installer's option.)
+
+ * `local', for local additions. See Section *Note Local additions::.
+
+
+ The `doc' directory is intended for implementation-independent and
+operating system-independent documentation files.
+Implementation-dependent files are best stored elsewhere, as provided
+for by the implementation and/or TeX administrator (for example, VMS
+help files under `texmf/vms/help').
+
+ The documentation directories may contain TeX sources, DVI files,
+PostScript files, text files, example input files, or any other useful
+documentation format(s).
+

+*****************************
+
+The TDS cannot address the following aspects of a functioning TeX
+system:
+
+ 1. The location of executable programs: this is too site-dependent
+ even to recommend a location, let alone require one. A site may
+ place executables outside the `texmf' tree altogether (e.g.,
+ `/usr/local/bin'), in a platform-dependent directory within
+ `texmf', or elsewhere.
+
+ 2. Upgrading packages when new releases are made: we could find no
+ way of introducing version specifiers into `texmf' that would do
+ more good than harm, or that would be practical for even a
+ plurality of installations.
+
+ 3. The location of implementation-specific files (e.g., TeX `.fmt'
+ files): by their nature, these must be left to the implementor or
+ TeX maintainer. See Section *Note Example implementation-specific
+ trees::.
+
+ 4. Precisely when a package or file should be considered "local", and
+ where such local files are installed. See Section *Note Local
+ additions:: for more discussion.

+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Portable filenames, Up: Unspecified pieces
+
+A.1 Portable filenames
+======================
+
+The TDS cannot require any particular restriction on filenames in the
+tree, since the names of many existing TeX files conform to no standard
+scheme. For the benefit of people who wish to make a portable TeX
+distribution or installation, however, we outline here the necessary
+restrictions. The TDS specifications themselves are compatible with
+these.
+
+ ISO-9660 is the only universally acceptable file system format for
+CD-ROMs. A subset thereof meets the stringent limitations of all
+operating systems in use today. It specifies the following:
+
+ * File and directory names, not including any directory path or
+ extension part, may not exceed eight characters.
+
+ * Filenames may have a single extension. Extensions may not exceed
+ three characters. Directory names may not have an extension.
+
+ * Names and extensions may consist of _only_ the characters `A'-`Z',
+ `0'-`9', and underscore. Lowercase letters are excluded.
+
+ * A period separates the filename from the extension and is always
+ present, even if the name or extension is missing (e.g.,
+ `FILENAME.' or `.EXT').
+
+ * A version number, ranging from 1-32767, is appended to the file
+ extension, separated by a semicolon (e.g., `FILENAME.EXT;1').
+
+ * Only eight directory levels are allowed, including the top-level
+ (mounted) directory (see Section *Note Rooting the tree::). Thus,
+ the deepest valid ISO-9660 path is:
+ texmf/L2/L3/L4/L5/L6/L7/L8/FOO.BAR;1
+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
+ The deepest TDS path needs only seven levels:
+ texmf/fonts/pk/cx/public/cm/dpi300/cmr10.pk
+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+
+
+ Some systems display a modified format of ISO-9660 names, mapping
+alphabetic characters to lowercase, removing version numbers and
+trailing periods, etc.
+
+ Before the December 1996 release, LaTeX used mixed-case names for
+font descriptor files. Fortunately, it never relied on case alone to
+distinguish among the files. Nowadays, it uses only monocase names.

+********************************
+
+We believe that the TDS can bring a great deal of order to the current
+anarchic state of many TeX installations. In addition, by providing a
+common frame of reference, it will ease the burden of documenting
+administrative tasks. Finally, it is a necessary part of any
+reasonable system of true "drop-in" distribution packages for TeX.

+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Adoption of the TDS, Next: More on subdirectory searching, Up: Implementation issues
+
+B.1 Adoption of the TDS
+=======================
+
+[This section is retained for historical purposes; the TDS is now quite
+firmly entrenched in most TeX distributions.]
+
+ We recognize that adoption of the TDS will not be immediate or
+universal. Most TeX administrators will not be inclined to make the
+final switch until:
+
+ * Clear and demonstrable benefits can be shown for the TDS.
+
+ * TDS-compliant versions of all key programs are available in
+ ported, well-tested forms.
+
+ * A "settling" period has taken place, to flush out problems. The
+ public release of the first draft of this document was the first
+ step in this process.
+
+ Consequently, most of the first trials of the TDS will be made by
+members of the TDS committee and/or developers of TeX-related software.
+This has already taken place during the course of our deliberations
+(see Appendix *Note Related references:: for a sample tree available
+electronically). They will certainly result in the production of a
+substantial number of TDS-compliant packages. Indeed, the teTeX and
+TeX Live distributions are TDS-compliant and in use now at many sites.
+
+ Once installable forms of key TDS-compliant packages are more
+widespread, some TeX administrators will set up TDS-compliant trees,
+possibly in parallel to existing production directories. This testing
+will likely flush out problems that were not obvious in the confined
+settings of the developers' sites; for example, it should help to
+resolve system and package dependencies, package interdependencies, and
+other details not addressed by this TDS version.
+
+ After most of the dust has settled, hopefully even conservative TeX
+administrators will begin to adopt the TDS. Eventually, most TeX sites
+will have adopted the common structure, and most packages will be
+readily available in TDS-compliant form.
+
+ We believe that this process will occur relatively quickly. The TDS
+committee spans a wide range of interests in the TeX community.
+Consequently, we believe that most of the key issues involved in
+defining a workable TDS definition have been covered, often in detail.
+TeX developers have been consulted about implementation issues, and
+have been trying out the TDS arrangement. Thus, we hope for few
+surprises as implementations mature.
+
+ Finally, there are several (current or prospective) publishers of TeX
+CD-ROMs. These publishers are highly motivated to work out details of
+TDS implementation, and their products will provide inexpensive and
+convenient ways for experimentally-minded TeX administrators to
+experiment with the TDS.
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: More on subdirectory searching, Next: Example implementation-specific trees, Prev: Adoption of the TDS, Up: Implementation issues
+
+B.2 More on subdirectory searching
+==================================
+
+Recursive subdirectory searching is the ability to specify a search not
+only of a specified directory `D', but recursively of all directories
+below `D'.
+
+ Since the TDS specifies precise locations for most files, with no
+extra levels of subdirectories allowed, true recursive searching is not
+actually required for a TDS-compliant implementation. We do, however,
+strongly recommend recursive searching as the most user-friendly and
+natural approach to the problem, rather than convoluted methods to
+specify paths without recursion.
+
+ This feature is already supported by many implementations of TeX and
+companion utilities, for example DECUS TeX for VMS, Dvips(k), emTeX
+(and its drivers), PubliC TeX, Web2C, Xdvi(k), and Y&YTeX. The
+Kpathsea library is a reusable implementation of subdirectory searching
+for TeX, used in a number of the above programs.
+
+ Even if your TeX implementation does not directly support
+subdirectory searching, you may find it useful to adopt the structure if
+you do not use many fonts or packages. For instance, if you only use
+Computer Modern and AMS fonts, it would be feasible to store them in
+the TDS layout and list the directories individually in configuration
+files or environment variables.
+
+ The TWG recognizes that subdirectory searching places an extra
+burden on the system and may be the source of performance bottlenecks,
+particularly on slower machines. Nevertheless, we feel that
+subdirectory searching is imperative for a well-organized TDS, for the
+reasons stated in Section *Note Subdirectory searching::. Implementors
+are encouraged to provide enhancements to the basic principle of
+subdirectory searching to avoid performance problems, e.g., the use of
+a filename cache (this can be as simple as a recursive directory
+listing) that is consulted before disk searching begins. If a match is
+found in the database, subdirectory searching is not required, and
+performance is thus independent of the number of subdirectories present
+on the system.
+
+ Different implementations specify subdirectory searching differently.
+In the interest of typographic clarity, the examples here do not use the
+`REPLACEABLE' font.
+
+ * Dvips: via a separate `TEXFONTS_SUBDIR' environment variable.
+
+ * emTeX: `t:\subdir!!'; `t:\subdir!' for a single level of searching.
+
+ * Kpathsea: `texmf/subdir//'
+
+ * VMS: `texmf:[subdir...]'
+
+ * Xdvi (patchlevel 20): `texmf/subdir/**'; `texmf/subdir/*' for a
+ single level of searching. Version 20.50 and above support the
+ `//' notation.
+
+ * Y&Y TeX: `t:/subdir//' or `t:\subdir\\'.

+
+B.3 Example implementation-specific trees
+=========================================
+
+The TDS cannot specify a precise location for implementation-specific
+files, such as `texmf/ini', because a site may have multiple TeX
+implementations.
+
+ Nevertheless, for informative purposes, we provide here the default
+locations for some implementations. Please contact us with additions or
+corrections. These paths are not definitive, may not match anything at
+your site, and may change without warning.
+
+ We recommend all implementations have default search paths that start
+with the current directory (e.g., `.'). Allowing users to include the
+parent directory (e.g., `..') is also helpful.

+scripts used as subroutines are also stored there.
+
+ Non-TeX specific files are stored following the GNU coding
+standards. Given a root directory `PREFIX' (`/usr/local' by default),
+we have default locations as follows:
+
+ <prefix>/ installation root (`/usr/local' by default)
+ bin/ executables
+ man/ man pages
+ info/ info files
+ lib/ libraries (`libkpathsea.*')

+Appendix C Is there a better way?
+*********************************
+
+Defining the TDS required many compromises. Both the overall structure
+and the details of the individual directories were arrived at by
+finding common ground among many opinions. The driving forces were
+feasibility (in terms of what could technically be done and what could
+reasonably be expected from developers) and regularity (files grouped
+together in an arrangement that "made sense").
+
+ Some interesting ideas could not be applied due to implementations
+lacking the necessary support:
+
+ * Path searching control at the TeX level. If documents could
+ restrict subdirectory searching to a subdirectory via some portable
+ syntax in file names, restrictions on uniqueness of filenames
+ could be relaxed considerably (with the cooperation of the
+ formats), and the TeX search path would not need to depend on the
+ format.
+
+ * Multiple logical `texmf' trees. For example, a site might have one
+ (read-only) location for stable files, and a different (writable)
+ location for dynamically-created fonts or other files. It would be
+ reasonable for two such trees to be logically merged when
+ searching. See Michael Downes' article in the references for how
+ this can work in practice with Web2C.

+File: tds.info, Node: Macro structure, Next: Font structure, Up: Is there a better way?
+
+C.1 Macro structure
+===================
+
+The TWG settled on the `FORMAT/PACKAGE' arrangement after long
+discussion about how best to arrange the files.
+
+ The primary alternative to this arrangement was a scheme which
+reversed the order of these directories: `PACKAGE/FORMAT'. This
+reversed arrangement has a strong appeal: it keeps all of the files
+related to a particular package in a single place. The arrangement
+actually adopted tends to spread files out into two or three places
+(macros, documentation, and fonts, for example, are spread into
+different sections of the tree right at the top level).
+
+ Nevertheless, the `FORMAT/PACKAGE' structure won for a couple of
+reasons:
+
+ * It is closer to current practice; in fact, several members of the
+ TWG have already implemented the TDS hierarchy. The alternative
+ is not in use at any known site, and the TWG felt it wrong to
+ mandate something with which there is no practical experience.
+
+ * The alternative arrangement increases the number of top-level
+ directories, so the files that must be found using subdirectory
+ searching are spread out in a wide, shallow tree. This could have
+ a profound impact on the efficiency of subdirectory searching.
+
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Font structure, Next: Documentation structure, Prev: Macro structure, Up: Is there a better way?
+
+C.2 Font structure
+==================
+
+The TWG struggled more with the font directory structure than anything
+else. This is not surprising; the need to use the proliferation of
+PostScript fonts with TeX is what made the previous arrangement with
+all files in a single directory untenable, and therefore what initiated
+the TDS effort.

+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Font file type location, Next: Mode and resolution location, Up: Font structure
+
+C.2.1 Font file type location
+-----------------------------
+
+We considered the supplier-first arrangement in use at many sites:
+
+ texmf/fonts/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/TYPE/
+
+ This improves the maintainability of the font tree, since all files
+comprising a given typeface are in one place, but unless all the
+programs that search this tree employ some form of caching, there are
+serious performance concerns. For example, in order to find a `TFM'
+file, the simplest implementation would require TeX to search through
+all the directories that contain PK files in all modes and at all
+resolutions.
+
+ In the end, a poll of developers revealed considerable resistance to
+implementing sufficient caching mechanisms, so this arrangement was
+abandoned. The TDS arrangement allows the search tree to be restricted
+to the correct type of file, at least. Concerns about efficiency
+remain, but there seems to be no more we can do without abandoning
+subdirectory searching entirely.
+
+ We also considered segregating all font-related files strictly by
+file type, so that Metafont sources would be in a directory
+`texmf/fonts/mf', property list files in `texmf/fonts/pl', the various
+forms of Type 1 fonts separated, and so on. Although more blindly
+consistent, we felt that the drawback of more complicated path
+constructions outweighed this. The TDS merges file types (`mf' and `pl'
+under `source', `pfa' and `pfb' and `gsf' under `type1') where we felt
+this was beneficial.

+
+C.2.2 Mode and resolution location
+----------------------------------
+
+We considered having the `mode' at the bottom of the font tree:
+ texmf/fonts/pk/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/MODE/DPI/
+
+ In this case, however, it is difficult to limit subdirectory
+searching to the mode required for a particular device.
+
+ We then considered moving the `dpiNNN' up to below the mode:
+ texmf/fonts/pk/MODE/DPI/SUPPLIER/TYPEFACE/
+
+ But then it is not feasible to omit the `dpiNNN' level altogether on
+systems which can and do choose to use long filenames.
+
+
+File: tds.info, Node: Modeless bitmaps, Prev: Mode and resolution location, Up: Font structure
+
+C.2.3 Modeless bitmaps
+----------------------
+
+The TDS specifies using a single directory `modeless/' as the mode name
+for those utilities which generate bitmaps, e.g.,
+`texmf/fonts/modeless/times/'. This has the considerable advantage of
+not requiring each such directory name to be listed in a search path.
+
+ An alternative was to use the utility name below which all such
+directories could be gathered. That has the advantage of separating,
+say, `gsftopk'-generated bitmaps from `ps2pk'-generated ones. However,
+we decided this was not necessary; most sites will use only one program
+for the purpose. Also, PK and GF fonts generally identify their
+creator in the font comment following the `PK_ID' byte.
+
+ We are making an implicit assumption that Metafont is the only
+program producing mode-dependent bitmaps. If this becomes false we
+could add an abbreviation for the program to mode names, as in `mfcx'
+vs. `xyzcx' for a hypothetical program Xyz, or we could at that time
+add an additional program name level uniformly to the tree. It seemed
+more important to concisely represent the current situation than to
+worry about hypothetical possibilities that may never happen.

+
+C.3 Documentation structure
+===========================
+
+We considered placing additional documentation files in the same
+directory as the source files for the packages, but we felt that users
+should be able to find documentation separately from sources, since most
+users have no interest in sources.
+
+ We hope that a separate, but parallel, structure for documentation
+would (1) keep the documentation together and (2) make it as
+straightforward as possible for users to find the particular
+documentation they were after.

+\section{Introduction}
+
+\TeX{} is a powerful, flexible typesetting system used by many people
+around the world. It is extremely portable and runs on virtually all
+operating systems. One unfortunate side effect of \TeX{}'s flexibility,
+however, is that there has been no single ``right'' way to install it.
+This has resulted in many sites having different installed arrangements.
+
+The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard \TeX{}
+Directory Structure (\abbr{TDS}): a directory hierarchy for macros,
+fonts, and the other implementation-independent \TeX{} system files. As
+a matter of practicality, this document also suggests ways to
+incorporate the rest of the \TeX{} files into a single structure. The
+\abbr{TDS} has been designed to work on all modern systems. In
+particular, the Technical Working Group (\abbr{TWG}) believes it is usable
+under Mac\abbr{OS}, \abbr{ms-dos}, \abbr{os/2}, Unix, \abbr{vms}, and
+Windows \abbr{nt}\@. We hope that administrators and developers of both
+free and commercial \TeX{} implementations will adopt this standard.
+
+This document is intended both for the \TeX{} system administrator at a
+site and for people preparing \TeX{} distributions---everything from a
+complete runnable system to a single macro or style file. It may also
+help \TeX{} users find their way around systems organized this way. It
+is not a tutorial: we necessarily assume knowledge of the many parts of
+a working \TeX{} system. If you are unfamiliar with any of the programs
+or file formats we refer to, consult the references in
+Appendix~\ref{sec:Related references}.
+
+
+\subsection{History}
+
+Version 1.0 of the \abbr{TDS} was released in February 2003.
+
+Version 1.1 was released in June 2004, with the following non-editorial
+changes:
+
+\begin{itemize-squeeze}
+\item Inputs for \TeX{} extensions included under \path|tex|, instead
+ of in their own top-level directories (Section~\ref{sec:Extensions})
+\item New top-level directory \path|scripts| (Section~\ref{sec:Scripts}).
+\item New subdirectories \path|lig|, \path|opentype|,
+ \path|truetype|, and \path|type3| under \path|fonts|
+ (Section~\ref{sec:Fonts}).
+\item \path|enc|, \path|lig|, and \path|map| all use
+ \replaceable{syntax}\path|/|\replaceable{package} subdirectories
+ (Section~\ref{sec:Fonts}).
+\item \path|pfm| files specified to go under \path|type1|, and
+ \path|inf| files under \path|afm| (Section~\ref{sec:Fonts}).
+\end{itemize-squeeze}
+
+
+\subsection{The role of the \abbr{TDS}}
+
+The role of the \abbr{TDS} is to stabilize the organization of
+\TeX{}-related software packages that are installed and in use, possibly
+on multiple platforms simultaneously.
+
+At first glance, it may seem that the Comprehensive \TeX{} Archive
+Network (\abbr{ctan}) fulfills at least part of this role, but this is
+not the case. The role of \abbr{ctan} is to simplify archiving and
+distribution, not installation and use.
+
+In fact, the roles of the \abbr{TDS} and \abbr{ctan} are frequently in
+conflict, as we will see. For distribution, many different types of
+files must be combined into a single unit; for use, it is traditional to
+segregate files (even similar files) from a single package into
+separate, occasionally distant, directories.
+
+
+\subsection{Conventions}
+
+In this document, ``\path|/|'' is used to separate filename components;
+for example, \path|texmf/fonts|. This is the Unix convention but the
+ideas are in no way Unix-specific.
+
+In this document, ``\TeX{}'' generally means the \TeX{} system, including
+\MF{}, \abbr{DVI} drivers, utilities, etc., not just the \TeX{}
+program itself.
+
+The word ``package'' in this document has its usual meaning: a set of
+related files distributed, installed, and maintained as a unit. This is
+\emphasis{not} a \LaTeXe{} package, which is a style file supplementing
+a document class.
+
+We use the following typographic conventions:
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\literal{literal}] Literal text such as \literal{filename} is
+typeset in typewriter type.
+
+\item[\replaceable{replaceable}] Replaceable text such as
+\replaceable{package}, identifying a class of things, is typeset in
+italics inside angle brackets.
+
+\end{description}
+
+
+\section{General}
+
+This section describes common properties throughout the \abbr{TDS} tree.
+
+\subsection{Subdirectory searching}
+\label{sec:Subdirectory searching}
+
+Older \TeX{} installations store large numbers of related files in single
+directories, for example, all \path|TFM| files and\slash or all \TeX{}
+input files.
+
+This monolithic arrangement hinders maintenance of a \TeX{} system: it
+is difficult to determine what files are used by what packages, what
+files need to be updated when a new version is installed, or what files
+should be deleted if a package is removed. It is also a source of error
+if two or more packages happen to have input files with the same name.
+
+Therefore, the \abbr{TWG} felt each package should be in a separate
+directory. But we recognized that explicitly listing all directories to
+be searched would be unbearable. A site may wish to install dozens of
+packages. Aside from anything else, listing that many directories would
+produce search paths many thousands of characters long, overflowing the
+available space on some systems.
+
+Also, if all directories are explicitly listed, installing or removing a
+new package would mean changing a path as well as installing or removing
+the actual files. This would be a time-consuming and error-prone
+operation, even with implementations that provide some way to specify
+the directories to search at runtime. On systems without runtime
+configuration, it would require recompiling software, an intolerable
+burden.
+
+As a result, the \abbr{TWG} concluded that a comprehensive \abbr{TDS}
+requires implementations to support some form of implicit subdirectory
+searching. More precisely, implementations must make it possible to
+specify that \TeX{}, \MF{}, and their companion utilities search in both
+a specified directory and recursively through all subdirectories of that
+directory when looking for an input file. Other forms of subdirectory
+searching, for example recursive-to-one-level searches, may also be
+provided. We encourage implementors to provide subdirectory searching
+at the option of the installer and user for all paths.
+
+The \abbr{TDS} does not specify a syntax for specifying recursive
+searching, but we encourage implementors to provide interoperability
+(see Section~\ref{sec:More on subdirectory searching}).
+
+
+\subsection{Rooting the tree}
+\label{sec:Rooting the tree}
+
+In this document, we shall designate the root \abbr{TDS} directory by
+`\texmf{}' (for ``\TeX{} and \MF{}''). We recommend using that name
+where possible, but the actual name of the directory is up to the
+installer. On \abbr{pc} networks, for example, this could map to a
+logical drive specification such as \path|T:|.
+
+Similarly, the location of this directory on the system is
+site-dependent. It may be at the root of the file system; on Unix
+systems, \path|/usr/local/share|, \path|/usr/local|,
+\path|/usr/local/lib|, and \path|/opt| are common choices.
+
+The name \texmf{} was chosen for several reasons: it reflects the fact
+that the directory contains files pertaining to an entire \TeX{} system
+(including \MF{}, \MP{}, \BibTeX{}, etc.), not just \TeX{} itself; and it
+is descriptive of a generic installation rather than a particular
+implementation.
+
+A site may choose to have more than one \abbr{TDS} hierarchy installed
+(for example, when installing an upgrade). This is perfectly legitimate.
+
+
+\subsection{Local additions}
+\label{sec:Local additions}
+
+The \abbr{TDS} cannot specify precisely when a package is or is not a
+``local addition''. Each site must determine this according to its own
+conventions. At the two extremes, one site might wish to consider
+``nonlocal'' all files not acquired as part of the installed \TeX{}
+distribution; another site might consider ``local'' only those files
+that were actually developed at the local site and not distributed
+elsewhere.
+
+We recognize two common methods for local additions to a distributed
+\texmf{} tree. Both have their place; in fact, some sites employ
+both simultaneously:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item A completely separate tree which is a \abbr{TDS} structure
+itself; for example, \path|/usr/local/umbtex| at the University of
+Massachusetts at Boston. This is another example of the multiple
+\texmf{} hierarchies mentioned in the previous section.
+
+\item A directory named `\path|local|' at any appropriate level, for
+example, in the \replaceable{format}, \replaceable{package}, and
+\replaceable{supplier} directories discussed in the following sections.
+The \abbr{TDS} reserves the directory name \path|local| for this
+purpose.
+
+We recommend using \path|local| for site-adapted configuration files,
+such as \path|language.dat| for the Babel package or \path|graphics.cfg|
+for the graphics package. Unmodified configuration files from a package
+should remain in the package directory. The intent is to separate
+locally modified or created files from distribution files, to ease
+installing new releases.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+One common case of local additions is dynamically generated files, e.g.,
+\abbr{PK} fonts by the \path|mktexpk| script (which originated in
+\application{Dvips} as \path|MakeTeXPK|). A site may store the
+generated files directly in any of:
+\begin{itemize-squeeze}
+\item their standard location in the main \abbr{TDS} tree (if it can be
+made globally writable);
+
+\item an alternative location in the main \abbr{TDS} tree (for
+example, under \path|texmf/fonts/tmp|);
+
+\item a second complete \abbr{TDS} tree (as outlined above);
+
+\item any other convenient directory (perhaps under
+\path|/var|, for example \path|/var/spool/fonts|).
+
+\end{itemize-squeeze}
+
+No one solution will be appropriate for all sites.
+
+
+\subsection{Duplicate filenames}
+\label{sec:Duplicate filenames}
+
+Different files by the same name may exist in a \abbr{TDS} tree. The
+\abbr{TDS} generally leaves unspecified which of two files by the same
+name in a search path will be found, so generally the only way to
+reliably find a given file is for it to have a unique name. However,
+the \abbr{TDS} requires implementations to support the following
+exceptions:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Names of \TeX{} input files must be unique within each first-level
+subdirectory of \path|texmf/tex| and \path|texmf/tex/generic|, but not
+within all of \path|texmf/tex|; i.e., different \TeX{} formats may have
+files by the same name. (Section~\ref{sec:Macros} discusses this
+further.) Thus, no single format-independent path specification, such
+as a recursive search beginning at \path|texmf/tex| specifying no other
+directories, suffices. So implementations must provide format-dependent
+path specifications, for example via wrapper scripts or configuration
+files.
+
+\item Many font files will have the same name (e.g., \path|cmr10.pk|),
+as discussed in Section~\ref{sec:Valid font bitmaps}. Implementations
+must distinguish these files by mode and resolution.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+All implementations we know of already have these capabilities.
+
+One place where duplicate names are likely to occur is not an exception:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Names of \MF{} input files (as opposed to bitmaps) must be unique
+within all of \path|texmf/fonts|. In practice, this is a problem with
+some variants of Computer Modern which contain slightly modified files
+named \path|punct.mf|, \path|romanl.mf|, and so on. We believe the only
+feasible solution is to rename the derivative files to be
+unique.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\section{Top-level directories}
+\label{sec:Top-level directories}
+
+The directories under the \texmf{} root identify the major components of
+a \TeX{} system (see Section~\ref{sec:Summary} for a summary). A site
+may omit any unneeded directories.
+
+Although the \abbr{TDS} by its nature can specify precise locations only
+for implementation-independent files, we recognize that installers may
+well wish to place other files under \texmf{} to simplify administration
+of the \TeX{} tree, especially if it is maintained by someone other than
+the system administrator. Therefore, additional top-level directories
+may be present.
+
+The top-level directories specified by the \abbr{TDS} are:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[\path|tex|]
+for \TeX{} files (Section~\ref{sec:Macros}).
+
+\item[\path|fonts|]
+for font-related files (Section~\ref{sec:Fonts}).
+
+\item[\path|metafont|]
+for \MF{} files which are not fonts (Section~\ref{sec:Non-font MF files}).
+
+\item[\path|metapost|]
+for \MP{} files (Section~\ref{sec:MetaPost}).
+
+\item[\path|bibtex|]
+for \BibTeX{} files (Section~\ref{sec:BibTeX}).
+
+\item[\path|scripts|]
+for platform-independent executables (Section~\ref{sec:Scripts}).
+
+\item[\path|doc|]
+for user documentation (Section~\ref{sec:Documentation}).
+
+\item[\path|source|] for sources. This includes both traditional
+program sources (for example, \application{Web2C} sources go in
+\path|texmf/source/web2c|) and, e.g., \LaTeX{} \path|dtx| sources (which
+go in \path|texmf/source/latex|). The \abbr{TDS} leaves unspecified any
+structure under \path|source|.
+
+\path|source| is intended for files which are not needed at runtime by
+any \TeX{} program; it should not be included in any search path. For
+example, \path|plain.tex| does not belong under \path|texmf/source|,
+even though it is a ``source file'' in the sense of not being derived
+from another file. (It goes in \path|texmf/tex/plain/base|, as explained
+in Section~\ref{sec:Macros}).
+
+\item[\replaceable{implementation}] for implementations (examples:
+\path|emtex|, \path|vtex|, \path|web2c|), to be used for whatever
+purpose deemed suitable by the implementor or \TeX{} administrator.
+That is, files that cannot be shared between implementations, such as
+pool files (\path|tex.pool|) and memory dump files (\path|plain.fmt|) go
+here, in addition to implementation-wide configuration files. See
+Section~\ref{sec:Example implementation-specific trees} for examples of
+real \replaceable{implementation} trees.
+
+Such implementation-specific configuration files should \emphasis{not}
+be located using the main \TeX{} input search path (e.g.,
+\path|TEXINPUTS|). This must be reserved for files actually read by a
+\TeX{} engine. See Section~\ref{sec:Extensions}.
+
+\item[\replaceable{program}] for program-specific input and
+configuration files for any \TeX{}-related programs (examples:
+\path|mft|, \path|dvips|). In fact, the \path|tex|, \path|metafont|,
+\path|metapost|, and \path|bibtex| items above may all be seen as
+instances of this case.
+
+\end{description}
+
+
+\subsection{Macros}
+\label{sec:Macros}
+
+\TeX{} macro files shall be stored in separate directories, segregated
+by \TeX{} format and package name (we use `format' in its traditional
+\TeX{} sense to mean a usefully \path|\dump|-able package):
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/tex/\replaceable{format}/\replaceable{package}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\replaceable{format}] is a format name (examples: \path|amstex|,
+\path|latex|, \path|plain|, \path|texinfo|).
+
+The \abbr{TDS} allows distributions that can be used as either formats or
+packages (e.g., Texinfo, Eplain) to be stored at either level, at the
+option of the format author or \TeX{} administrator. We recommend that
+packages used as formats at a particular site be stored at the
+\replaceable{format} level: by adjusting the \TeX{} inputs search path,
+it will be straightforward to use them as macro packages under another
+format, whereas placing them in another tree completely obscures their
+use as a format.
+
+The \abbr{TDS} reserves the following \replaceable{format} names:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|generic|, for input files that are useful across a wide
+range of formats (examples: \path|null.tex|, \path|path.sty|).
+Generally, this means any format that uses the category codes of Plain
+\TeX{} and does not rely on any particular format. This is in contrast
+to those files which are useful only with Plain \TeX{} (which go under
+\path|texmf/tex/plain|), e.g., \path|testfont.tex| and \path|plain.tex|
+itself.
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions. See Section~\ref{sec:Local
+additions}.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+Thus, for almost every format, it is necessary to search at least the
+\replaceable{format} directory and then the \path|generic| directory (in
+that order). Other directories may need to be searched as well,
+depending on the format. When using \AMSTeX{}, for example, the
+\path|amstex|, \path|plain|, and \path|generic| directories should be
+searched, because \AMSTeX{} is compatible with Plain.
+
+\item[\replaceable{package}] is a \TeX{} package name (examples:
+\path|babel|, \path|texdraw|).
+
+In the case where a format consists of only a single file and has no
+auxiliary packages, that file can simply be placed in the
+\replaceable{format} directory, instead of
+\replaceable{format}\path|/base|. For example, Texinfo may go in
+\path|texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex|, not
+\path|texmf/tex/texinfo/base/texinfo.tex|.
+
+The \abbr{TDS} reserves the following \replaceable{package} names:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|base|, for the base distribution of each format,
+including files used by \iniTeX{} when dumping format files. For
+example, in the standard \LaTeX{} distribution, the \path|ltx| files
+created during the build process. Another example: the \path|.ini|
+driver files for formats used by \TeX{} Live and other distributions.
+
+\item \path|hyphen|, for hyphenation patterns, including the original
+American English \path|hyphen.tex|. These are typically used only by
+\iniTeX{}. In most situations, this directory need exist only under the
+\literal{generic} format.
+
+\item \path|images|, for image input files, such as Encapsulated
+PostScript figures. Although it is somewhat non-intuitive for these to
+be under a directory named ``\path|tex|'', \TeX{} needs to read these
+files to glean bounding box or other information. A mechanism for
+sharing image inputs between \TeX{} and other typesetting programs
+(e.g., Interleaf, FrameMaker) is beyond the scope of the
+\abbr{TDS}\@. In most situations, this directory need exist only under
+the \literal{generic} format.
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions and configuration files. See
+Section~\ref{sec:Local additions}.
+
+\item \path|misc|, for packages that consist of a single file. An
+administrator or package maintainer may create directories for
+single-file packages at their discretion, instead of using \path|misc|.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{description}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Extensions}
+\label{sec:Extensions}
+
+\TeX{} has spawned many companion and successor programs (``engines''),
+such as \abbr{PDF}\TeX{}, Omega, and others. The \abbr{TDS} specifies
+that the input files for such programs (using a \TeX{}-like syntax) be
+placed within the top-level \path|tex| directory, either at the top
+level or within a format subdirectory, even though the original \TeX{}
+program may not be able to read them. For example:
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/tex/aleph
+texmf/tex/enctex
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+This is a change from \abbr{TDS}~1.0, which specified top-level
+\replaceable{extension} directories for each such program. We felt the
+new approach is preferable, because:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Authors of relevant packages typically make their code detect the
+engine being used, and issue error messages or adapt to circumstances
+appropriately. Furthermore, as a package matures, it may support
+multiple engines. Thus, a package could conceivably be placed in any of
+several top-level directories, at different times. Putting all packages
+under the top-level \path|tex| directory provides a stable location over
+time.
+
+\item Users need to be able to switch between engines, and configuring
+different search paths for each engine is difficult and error-prone.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+Thus, in practice, having different top-level directories caused
+difficulties for everyone involved---users, package authors, site
+administrators, and system distributors.
+
+Please contrast this approach with the \replaceable{implementation}
+top-level subdirectory (Section~\ref{sec:Top-level directories}), which
+is to be used for configuration files that (presumably) do not use
+\TeX{} syntax and in any case should not be found along the main \TeX{}
+input search path.
+
+
+\subsection{Fonts}
+\label{sec:Fonts}
+
+Font files are stored in separate directories, segregated by file type,
+and then (in most cases) font supplier and typeface. \abbr{PK} and
+\abbr{GF} files need additional structure, as detailed in the next
+section.
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/fonts/\replaceable{type}/\replaceable{supplier}/\replaceable{typeface}/
+texmf/fonts/enc,lig,map/\replaceable{subpath}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\replaceable{type}] is the type of font file. The \abbr{TDS}
+reserves the following \replaceable{type} names for common \TeX{} file
+types:
+
+\begin{itemize-squeeze}
+\item \path|afm|, for Adobe font metrics, and \path|inf| files.
+\item \path|gf|, for generic font bitmap files.
+\item \path|opentype|, for OpenType fonts.
+\item \path|pk|, for packed bitmap files.
+\item \path|source|, for font sources (\MF{} files, property lists, etc.).
+\item \path|tfm|, for \TeX{} font metric files.
+\item \path|truetype|, for TrueType fonts.
+\item \path|type1|, for PostScript Type 1 fonts (in \path|pfa|,
+ \path|pfb|, or any other format), and \path|pfm| files.
+\item \path|type3|, for PostScript Type 3 fonts.
+\item \path|vf|, for virtual fonts.
+\end{itemize-squeeze}
+
+The \abbr{TDS} also reserves the names \path|enc|, \path|lig|, and
+\path|map| for font encoding, ligature, and mapping files, respectively.
+All of these directories are structured the same way, with
+\replaceable{syntax} subdirectories, and then \replaceable{package}
+subsubdirectories. Each of these file types is intended to be searched
+along its own recursively-searched path. The names of the actual files
+must be unique within their subtree, as usual. Examples:
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm.map
+fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm.map
+fonts/enc/dvips/base/8r.enc
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+The Fontname and Dvips packages have more examples of the \path|enc| and
+\path|map| types. The \path|afm2pl| program uses \path|lig| files.
+
+\path|pfm| files are included in the \path|type1| directory, instead of
+being given their own directory, for two reasons: 1)~a \path|.pfm| file
+is always an adjunct to a given \path|.pfb| file; 2)~they must be
+installed from the same directory for Windows programs other than \TeX{}
+to use them.
+
+\path|inf| files are included in the \path|afm| directory, since
+an \path|inf| and \path|afm| file can be used to generate a \path|pfm|.
+(Unfortunately, Adobe Type Manager and perhaps other software requires
+that the \path|pfb| be in the same directory as \path|afm| and
+\path|inf| for installation.)
+
+As usual, a site may omit any of these directories that are unnecessary.
+\path|gf| is a particularly likely candidate for omission.
+
+\item[\replaceable{supplier}] is a name identifying font source
+(examples: \path|adobe|, \path|ams|, \path|public|). The \abbr{TDS}
+reserves the following \replaceable{supplier} names:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|ams|, for the American Mathematical Society's \AmS{}-fonts
+collection.
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions. See Section~\ref{sec:Local additions}.
+
+\item \path|public|, for freely redistributable fonts where the supplier
+neither (1)~requested their own directory (e.g., \path|ams|), nor
+(2)~also made proprietary fonts (e.g., \path|adobe|). It does not
+contain all extant freely distributable fonts, nor are all files therein
+necessarily strictly public domain.
+
+\item \path|tmp|, for dynamically-generated fonts, as is traditional on
+some systems. It may be omitted if unnecessary, as usual.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\item[\replaceable{typeface}] is the name of a typeface family
+(examples: \path|cm|, \path|euler|, \path|times|). The \abbr{TDS}
+reserves the following \replaceable{typeface} names:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|cm| (within \path|public|), for the 75 fonts defined in
+\citetitle{Computers and Typesetting, Volume~E}.
+
+\item \path|latex| (within \path|public|), for those fonts distributed
+with \LaTeX{} in the base distribution.
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions. See Section~\ref{sec:Local additions}.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{description}
+
+Some concrete examples:
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/fonts/source/public/pandora/pnr10.mf
+texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
+texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/utopia/putr.pfa
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+For complete supplier and typeface name lists, consult
+\citetitle{Filenames for \TeX{} fonts} (see Appendix~\ref{sec:Related
+references}).
+
+\subsubsection{Font bitmaps}
+
+Font bitmap files require two characteristics in addition to the above
+to be uniquely identifiable: (1)~the type of device (i.e., mode) for
+which the font was created; (2)~the resolution of the bitmap.
+
+Following common practice, the \abbr{TDS} segregates fonts with
+different device types into separate directories. See \path|modes.mf|
+in Appendix~\ref{sec:Related references} for recommended mode names.
+
+Some printers operate at more than one resolution (e.g., at 300\,dpi and
+600\,dpi), but each such resolution will necessarily have a different
+mode name. Nothing further is needed, since implicit in the \TeX{}
+system is the assumption of a single target resolution.
+
+Two naming strategies are commonly used to identify the resolution of
+bitmap font files. On systems that allow long filenames (and in the
+original \MF{} program itself), the resolution is included in the
+filename (e.g., \path|cmr10.300pk|). On systems which do not support
+long filenames, fonts are generally segregated into directories by
+resolution (e.g., \path|dpi300/cmr10.pk|).
+
+Because the \abbr{TDS} cannot require long filenames, we must use the
+latter scheme for naming fonts. So we have two more subdirectory
+levels under \path|pk| and \path|gf|:
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/fonts/pk/\replaceable{mode}/\replaceable{supplier}/\replaceable{typeface}/dpi\replaceable{nnn}/
+texmf/fonts/gf/\replaceable{mode}/\replaceable{supplier}/\replaceable{typeface}/dpi\replaceable{nnn}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[\replaceable{mode}] is a name which identifies the device type
+(examples: \path|cx|, \path|ljfour|, \path|modeless|). Usually, this is
+the name of the \MF{} mode used to build the \abbr{PK} file. For fonts
+rendered as bitmaps by a program that does not distinguish between
+different output devices, the \replaceable{mode} name shall be simply
+\path|modeless|. The \replaceable{mode} level shall not be omitted,
+even if only a single mode happens to be in use.
+
+\item[\path|dpi|\replaceable{nnn}] specifies the resolution of the font
+(examples: \path|dpi300|, \path|dpi329|). `\literal{dpi}' stands for
+dots per inch, i.e., pixels per inch. We recognize that pixels per
+millimeter is used in many parts of the world, but dpi is too
+traditional in the \TeX{} world to consider changing now.
+
+The integer \replaceable{nnn} is to be calculated as if using \MF{}
+arithmetic and then rounded; i.e., it is the integer \MF{} uses in its
+output \path|gf| filename. We recognize small differences in the
+resolution are a common cause of frustration among users, however, and
+recommend implementors follow the level~0 \abbr{DVI} driver standard
+(see Appendix~\ref{sec:Related references}) in bitmap font searches by
+allowing a fuzz of $\pm0.2$\% (with a minimum of $1$) in the
+\replaceable{dpi}.
+
+\end{description}
+
+Implementations may provide extensions to the basic naming scheme, such
+as long filenames (as in the original \MF{}) and font library files (as
+in em\TeX{}'s \path|.fli| files), provided that the basic scheme is also
+supported.
+
+\subsubsection{Valid font bitmaps}
+\label{sec:Valid font bitmaps}
+
+The \abbr{TWG} recognizes that the use of short filenames has many
+disadvantages. The most vexing is that it results in the creation of
+dozens of different files with the same name. At a typical site,
+\path|cmr10.pk| will be the filename for Computer Modern Roman 10\,pt at
+5--10 magnifications for 2--3 modes. (Section~\ref{sec:Duplicate
+filenames} discusses duplicate filenames in general.)
+
+To minimize this problem, we strongly recommend that \abbr{PK} files
+contain enough information to identify precisely how they were created:
+at least the mode, base resolution, and magnification used to create the
+font.
+
+This information is easy to supply: a simple addition to the local modes
+used for building the fonts with \MF{} will automatically provide the
+required information. If you have been using a local modes file derived
+from (or that is simply) \path|modes.mf| (see Appendix~\ref{sec:Related
+references}), the required information is already in your \abbr{PK}
+files. If not, a simple addition based on the code found in
+\path|modes.mf| can be made to your local modes file and the \abbr{PK}
+files rebuilt.
+
+
+\subsection{Non-font \MF{} files}
+\label{sec:Non-font MF files}
+
+Most \MF{} input files are font programs or parts of font programs and
+are thus covered by the previous section. However, a few non-font input
+files do exist. Such files shall be stored in:
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/metafont/\replaceable{package}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+\replaceable{package} is the name of a
+\MF{} package (for example, \path|mfpic|).
+
+The \abbr{TDS} reserves the following \replaceable{package} names:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|base|, for the standard \MF{} macro files as described in
+\citetitle{The \MF{}book}, such as \path|plain.mf| and \path|expr.mf|.
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions. See Section~\ref{sec:Local additions}.
+
+\item \path|misc|, for \MF{} packages consisting of only a single file
+(for example, \path|modes.mf|). An administrator or package maintainer
+may create directories for single-file packages at their discretion,
+instead of using \path|misc|.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection{\MP{}}
+\label{sec:MetaPost}
+
+\MP{} is a picture-drawing language developed by John Hobby, derived
+from Knuth's \MF{}. Its primary purpose is to output Encapsulated \PS{}
+instead of bitmaps.
+
+\MP{} input files and the support files for \MP{}-related utilities
+shall be stored in:
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/metapost/\replaceable{package}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+\replaceable{package} is the name of a \MP{} package. At the present
+writing none exist, but the \abbr{TWG} thought it prudent to leave room
+for contributed packages that might be written in the future.
+
+The \abbr{TDS} reserves the following \replaceable{package} names:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|base|, for the standard \MP{} macro files, such as
+\path|plain.mp|, \path|mfplain.mp|, \path|boxes.mp|, and
+\path|graph.mp|. This includes files used by \iniMP{} when dumping mem
+files containing preloaded macro definitions.
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions. See Section~\ref{sec:Local
+additions}.
+
+\item \path|misc|, for \MP{} packages consisting of only a single file.
+An administrator or package maintainer may create directories for
+single-file packages at their discretion, instead of using \path|misc|.
+
+\item \path|support|, for additional input files required by \MP{}
+utility programs, including a font map, a character adjustment table,
+and a subdirectory containing low-level \MP{} programs for rendering
+some special characters.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection{\BibTeX{}}
+\label{sec:BibTeX}
+
+\BibTeX{}-related files shall be stored in:
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/bibtex/bib/\replaceable{package}/
+texmf/bibtex/bst/\replaceable{package}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+The \path|bib| directory is for \BibTeX{} database (\path|.bib|) files,
+the \path|bst| directory for style (\path|.bst|) files.
+
+\replaceable{package} is the name of a \BibTeX{} package. The
+\abbr{TDS} reserves the following \replaceable{package} names (the same
+names are reserved under both \path|bib| and \path|bst|):
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|base|, for the standard \BibTeX{} databases and styles, such
+as \path|xampl.bib|, \path|plain.bst|.
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions. See Section~\ref{sec:Local
+additions}.
+
+\item \path|misc|, for \BibTeX{} packages consisting of only a single
+file. An administrator or package maintainer may create directories for
+single-file packages at their discretion, instead of using \path|misc|.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection{Scripts}
+\label{sec:Scripts}
+
+The top-level \path|scripts| directory is for platform-independent
+executables, such as Perl, Python, and shell scripts, and Java class
+files. Subdirectories under \path|scripts| are package names. This
+eases creating distributions, by providing a common place for such
+platform-independent programs.
+
+The intent is not for all such directories to be added to a user's
+command search path, which would be quite impractical. Rather, these
+executables are primarily for the benefit of wrapper scripts in whatever
+executable directory a distribution may provide (which is not specified
+by the \abbr{TDS}).
+
+Truly auxiliary scripts which are invoked directly by other programs,
+rather than wrapper scripts, may also be placed here. That is,
+\path|scripts| also serves as a platform-independent analog of the
+standard Unix \path|libexec| directory.
+
+We recommend using extensions specifying the language (such as
+\path|.pl|, \path|.py|, \path|.sh|) on these files, to help uniquely
+identify the name. Since the intent of the \abbr{TDS} is for programs
+in \path|scripts| not to be invoked directly by users, this poses no
+inconvenience.
+
+For example, in the \TeX{} Live distribution, the Con\TeX{}t user-level
+program \path|texexec| can exist as a small wrapper script in each
+\path|bin/|\replaceable{platform}\path|/texexec| (which is outside the
+\path|texmf| tree), which merely finds and calls
+\path|texmf/scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl|.
+
+Examples:
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl
+scripts/context/ruby/examplex.rb
+scripts/thumbpdf/thumbpdf.pl
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+The \abbr{TDS} does not specify a location for platform-dependent
+binary executables, whether auxiliary or user-level.
+
+
+\subsection{Documentation}
+\label{sec:Documentation}
+
+Most packages come with some form of documentation: user manuals,
+example files, programming guides, etc. In addition, many independent
+files not part of any macro or other package have been created to
+describe various aspects of the \TeX{} system.
+
+The \abbr{TDS} specifies that these additional documentation files shall
+be stored in a structure that parallels to some extent the
+\path|fonts| and \path|tex| directories, as follows:
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/doc/\replaceable{category}/...
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+\replaceable{category} identifies the general topic of documentation
+that resides below it; for example, a \TeX{} format name (\path|latex|),
+program name (\path|bibtex|, \path|tex|), language (\path|french|,
+\path|german|), a file format (\path|info|, \path|man|), or other system
+components (\path|web|, \path|fonts|).
+
+One possible arrangement is to organize \path|doc| by language, with all
+the other category types below that. This helps users find
+documentation in the language(s) in which they are fluent. Neither this
+nor any other particular arrangement is required, however.
+
+Within each \replaceable{category} tree for a \TeX{} format, the
+directory \path|base| is reserved for base documentation distributed by
+the format's maintainers.
+
+The \abbr{TDS} reserves the following category names:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \path|general|, for standalone documents not specific to any
+particular program (for example, Joachim Schrod's \citetitle{Components
+of \TeX{}}).
+
+\item \path|help|, for meta-information, such as \abbr{faq}'s,
+the \TeX{} Catalogue, etc.
+
+\item \path|info|, for processed Texinfo documents. (Info files, like
+anything else, may also be stored outside the \abbr{TDS}, at the
+installer's option.)
+
+\item \path|local|, for local additions. See Section~\ref{sec:Local
+additions}.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+The \path|doc| directory is intended for implementation-independent and
+operating system-independent documentation
+files. Implementation-dependent files are best stored elsewhere, as
+provided for by the implementation and/or \TeX{} administrator (for
+example, \abbr{VMS} help files under \path|texmf/vms/help|).
+
+The documentation directories may contain \TeX{} sources, \abbr{DVI}
+files, \PS{} files, text files, example input files, or any other useful
+documentation format(s).
+
+See Section~\ref{sec:Documentation tree summary} for a summary.

+\section{Unspecified pieces}
+
+The \abbr{TDS} cannot address the following aspects of a functioning
+\TeX{} system:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item The location of executable programs: this is too site-dependent
+even to recommend a location, let alone require one. A site may place
+executables outside the \texmf{} tree altogether (e.g.,
+\path|/usr/local/bin|), in a platform-dependent directory within
+\texmf{}, or elsewhere.
+
+\item Upgrading packages when new releases are made: we could find no
+way of introducing version specifiers into \texmf{} that would do more
+good than harm, or that would be practical for even a plurality of
+installations.
+
+\item The location of implementation-specific files (e.g., \TeX{}
+\path|.fmt| files): by their nature, these must be left to the
+implementor or \TeX{} maintainer. See Section~\ref{sec:Example
+implementation-specific trees}.
+
+\item Precisely when a package or file should be considered ``local'',
+and where such local files are installed. See Section~\ref{sec:Local
+additions} for more discussion.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+\subsection{Portable filenames}
+\label{sec:Portable filenames}
+
+The \abbr{TDS} cannot require any particular restriction on filenames in
+the tree, since the names of many existing \TeX{} files conform to no
+standard scheme. For the benefit of people who wish to make a portable
+\TeX{} distribution or installation, however, we outline here the
+necessary restrictions. The \abbr{TDS} specifications themselves are
+compatible with these.
+
+\abbr{ISO}-9660 is the only universally acceptable file system format
+for \abbr{CD-ROM}s. A subset thereof meets the stringent limitations of
+all operating systems in use today. It specifies the following:
+
+\begin{itemize-squeeze}
+
+\item File and directory names, not including any directory path or
+extension part, may not exceed eight characters.
+
+\item Filenames may have a single extension. Extensions may not exceed
+three characters. Directory names may not have an extension.
+
+\item Names and extensions may consist of \emphasis{only} the characters
+\literal{A}--\literal{Z}, \literal{0}--\literal{9}, and underscore.
+Lowercase letters are excluded.
+
+\item A period separates the filename from the extension and is always
+present, even if the name or extension is missing (e.g.,
+\path|FILENAME.| or \path|.EXT|).
+
+\item A version number, ranging from 1--32767, is appended to the file
+extension, separated by a semicolon (e.g., \path|FILENAME.EXT;1|).
+
+\item Only eight directory levels are allowed, including the top-level
+(mounted) directory (see Section~\ref{sec:Rooting the tree}). Thus, the
+deepest valid \abbr{ISO}-9660 path is:
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/L2/L3/L4/L5/L6/L7/L8/FOO.BAR;1
+1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
+\end{ttdisplay}
+The deepest \abbr{TDS} path needs only seven levels:
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/fonts/pk/cx/public/cm/dpi300/cmr10.pk
+1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+\end{itemize-squeeze}
+
+Some systems display a modified format of \abbr{ISO}-9660 names,
+mapping alphabetic characters to lowercase, removing version numbers and
+trailing periods, etc.
+
+Before the December 1996 release, \LaTeX{} used mixed-case names for
+font descriptor files. Fortunately, it never relied on case alone to
+distinguish among the files. Nowadays, it uses only monocase names.
+
+\section{Implementation issues}
+
+We believe that the \abbr{TDS} can bring a great deal of order to the
+current anarchic state of many \TeX{} installations. In addition, by
+providing a common frame of reference, it will ease the burden of
+documenting administrative tasks. Finally, it is a necessary part of
+any reasonable system of true ``drop-in'' distribution packages for
+\TeX{}.
+
+
+\subsection{Adoption of the \abbr{TDS}}
+
+[This section is retained for historical purposes; the \abbr{TDS}
+is now quite firmly entrenched in most \TeX{} distributions.]
+
+We recognize that adoption of the \abbr{TDS} will not be immediate or
+universal. Most \TeX{} administrators will not be inclined to make the
+final switch until:
+
+\begin{itemize-squeeze}
+\item Clear and demonstrable benefits can be shown for the \abbr{TDS}.
+\item \abbr{TDS}-compliant versions of all key programs are available
+in ported, well-tested forms.
+\item A ``settling'' period has taken place, to flush out problems. The
+public release of the first draft of this document was the first step in
+this process.
+\end{itemize-squeeze}
+
+Consequently, most of the first trials of the \abbr{TDS} will be made by
+members of the \abbr{TDS} committee and/or developers of \TeX{}-related
+software. This has already taken place during the course of our
+deliberations (see Appendix~\ref{sec:Related references} for a sample
+tree available electronically). They will certainly result in the
+production of a substantial number of \abbr{TDS}-compliant packages.
+Indeed, the \application{te\TeX{}} and \application{\TeX{} Live}
+distributions are \abbr{TDS}-compliant and in use now at many sites.
+
+Once installable forms of key \abbr{TDS}-compliant packages are more
+widespread, some \TeX{} administrators will set up \abbr{TDS}-compliant
+trees, possibly in parallel to existing production directories. This
+testing will likely flush out problems that were not obvious in the
+confined settings of the developers' sites; for example, it should help
+to resolve system and package dependencies, package interdependencies, and
+other details not addressed by this \abbr{TDS} version.
+
+After most of the dust has settled, hopefully even conservative \TeX{}
+administrators will begin to adopt the \abbr{TDS}. Eventually, most
+\TeX{} sites will have adopted the common structure, and most packages
+will be readily available in \abbr{TDS}-compliant form.
+
+We believe that this process will occur relatively quickly. The
+\abbr{TDS} committee spans a wide range of interests in the \TeX{}
+community. Consequently, we believe that most of the key issues
+involved in defining a workable \abbr{TDS} definition have been covered,
+often in detail. \TeX{} developers have been consulted about
+implementation issues, and have been trying out the \abbr{TDS}
+arrangement. Thus, we hope for few surprises as implementations mature.
+
+Finally, there are several (current or prospective) publishers of \TeX{}
+\abbr{CD-ROM}s. These publishers are highly motivated to work out
+details of \abbr{TDS} implementation, and their products will provide
+inexpensive and convenient ways for experimentally-minded \TeX{}
+administrators to experiment with the \abbr{TDS}.
+
+
+\subsection{More on subdirectory searching}
+\label{sec:More on subdirectory searching}
+
+Recursive subdirectory searching is the ability to specify a search not
+only of a specified directory \replaceable{d}, but recursively of all
+directories below \replaceable{d}.
+
+Since the \abbr{TDS} specifies precise locations for most files, with no
+extra levels of subdirectories allowed, true recursive searching is not
+actually required for a \abbr{TDS}-compliant implementation. We do,
+however, strongly recommend recursive searching as the most
+user-friendly and natural approach to the problem, rather than
+convoluted methods to specify paths without recursion.
+
+This feature is already supported by many implementations of \TeX{} and
+companion utilities, for example \abbr{DECUS} \TeX{} for \abbr{VMS},
+\application{Dvips(k)}, \application{em\TeX{}} (and its drivers),
+\application{PubliC \TeX{}}, \application{Web2C}, \application{Xdvi(k)},
+and \application{Y\&Y\TeX{}}. The Kpathsea library is a reusable
+implementation of subdirectory searching for \TeX{}, used in a number of
+the above programs.
+
+Even if your \TeX{} implementation does not directly support
+subdirectory searching, you may find it useful to adopt the structure if
+you do not use many fonts or packages. For instance, if you only use
+Computer Modern and \abbr{ams} fonts, it would be feasible to store them
+in the \abbr{TDS} layout and list the directories individually in
+configuration files or environment variables.
+
+The \abbr{TWG} recognizes that subdirectory searching places an extra
+burden on the system and may be the source of performance bottlenecks,
+particularly on slower machines. Nevertheless, we feel that
+subdirectory searching is imperative for a well-organized \abbr{TDS},
+for the reasons stated in Section~\ref{sec:Subdirectory searching}.
+Implementors are encouraged to provide enhancements to the basic
+principle of subdirectory searching to avoid performance problems, e.g.,
+the use of a filename cache (this can be as simple as a recursive
+directory listing) that is consulted before disk searching begins. If a
+match is found in the database, subdirectory searching is not required,
+and performance is thus independent of the number of subdirectories
+present on the system.
+
+Different implementations specify subdirectory searching differently.
+In the interest of typographic clarity, the examples here do not use the
+\replaceable{replaceable} font.
+
+\begin{description-squeeze}
+
+\item[\application{Dvips}:] via a separate
+\systemitem{ENVIRONVAR}{TEXFONTS\_SUBDIR} environment variable.
+
+\item[\application{em\TeX{}}:] \path|t:\subdir!!|; \path|t:\subdir!| for
+a single level of searching.
+
+\item[\application{Kpathsea}:] \path|texmf/subdir//|
+
+\item[\abbr{VMS}:] \path|texmf:[subdir...]|
+
+\item[\application{Xdvi} (patchlevel 20):] \path|texmf/subdir/**|;
+\path|texmf/subdir/*| for a single level of searching. Version 20.50
+and above support the \path|//| notation.
+
+\item[\application{Y\&Y \TeX{}}:] \path|t:/subdir//| or
+\path|t:\subdir\\|.
+
+\end{description-squeeze}
+
+
+\subsection{Example implementation-specific trees}
+\label{sec:Example implementation-specific trees}
+
+The \abbr{TDS} cannot specify a precise location for
+implementation-specific files, such as \path|texmf/ini|, because a site
+may have multiple \TeX{} implementations.
+
+Nevertheless, for informative purposes, we provide here the default
+locations for some implementations. Please contact us with additions or
+corrections. These paths are not definitive, may not match anything at
+your site, and may change without warning.
+
+We recommend all implementations have default search paths that start
+with the current directory (e.g., `\path|.|'). Allowing users to
+include the parent directory (e.g., `\path|..|') is also helpful.
+
+
+\subsubsection{AmiWeb2c 2.0}
+
+(Email \email|scherer@physik.rwth-aachen.de| to contact the maintainer
+of this implementation.)
+
+AmiWeb2c 2 is compatible with Web2c 7 to the greatest possible
+extent, so only the very few differences are described in this
+section. Detailed information about the basic concepts is given in
+the section for Web2c 7 below.
+
+Thanks to the \path|SELFAUTO| mechanism of Kpathsea 3.0 no specific
+location for the installation of AmiWeb2c is required as long as the
+general structure of the distribution is preserved.
+
+In addition to Kpathsea's \path|//| notation recursive path search may
+also be started by \replaceable{DEVICE}\path|:/|, e.g., \path|TeXMF:/|
+will scan this specific device completely.
+
+Binaries coming with the AmiWeb2c distribution are installed in the
+directory \path|bin/amiweb2c/| outside the common \abbr{TDS} tree
+\path|share/texmf/|. In addition to the set of AmiWeb2c binaries
+you will find two subdirectories \path|local/| and \path|pastex/|
+with auxiliary programs.
+
+A stripped version of the Pas\TeX{} system (used by kind permission of
+Georg He\ss{}mann) is coming with AmiWeb2c, pre-installed in its own
+\path|share/texmf/amiweb2c/pastex/| directory. If you want to use
+Pas\TeX{} you have to \path|assign| the name \path|TeX:| to this place.
+
+Documentation files in AmigaGuide format should be stored at
+\path|doc/guide/| similar to \path|doc/info/|.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Public \abbr{DECUS} \TeX{}}
+
+If another \abbr{VMS} implementation besides Public \abbr{DECUS} \TeX{}
+appears, the top level implementation directory name will be modified to
+something more specific (e.g., \path|vms_decus|).
+
+\begin{tdsSummary}
+ texmf/
+ . vms/ \abbr{VMS} implementation specific files
+ . . exe/ end-user commands
+ . . . common/ command procedures, command definition files, etc.
+ . . . axp/ binary executables for Alpha \abbr{AXP}
+ . . . vax/ binary executables for \abbr{VAX}
+ . . formats/ pool files, formats, bases
+ . . help/ \abbr{VMS} help library, and miscellaneous help sources
+ . . mgr/ command procedures, programs, docs, etc., for system management
+\end{tdsSummary}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Web2c 7}
+
+All implementation-dependent \TeX{} system files (\path|.pool|,
+\path|.fmt|, \path|.base|, \path|.mem|) are stored by default directly
+in \path|texmf/web2c|. The configuration file \path|texmf.cnf| and
+various subsidiary \path|MakeTeX...| scripts used as subroutines are
+also stored there.
+
+Non-\TeX{} specific files are stored following the \abbr{GNU} coding
+standards. Given a root directory \replaceable{prefix}
+(\path|/usr/local| by default), we have default locations as follows:
+
+\begin{tdsSummary}
+ <prefix>/ installation root (\path|/usr/local| by default)
+ . bin/ executables
+ . man/ man pages
+ . info/ info files
+ . lib/ libraries (\path|libkpathsea.*|)
+ . share/ architecture-independent files
+ . . texmf/ \abbr{TDS} root
+ . . . web2c/ implementation-dependent files (\path|.pool|, \path|.fmt|, \path|texmf.cnf|, etc.)
+\end{tdsSummary}
+
+See \url|http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html| for the
+rationale behind and descriptions of this arrangement. A site may of
+course override these defaults; for example, it may put everything under
+a single directory such as \path|/usr/local/texmf|.
+
+
+\section{Is there a better way?}
+
+Defining the \abbr{TDS} required many compromises. Both the overall
+structure and the details of the individual directories were arrived at
+by finding common ground among many opinions. The driving forces were
+feasibility (in terms of what could technically be done and what could
+reasonably be expected from developers) and regularity (files grouped
+together in an arrangement that ``made sense'').
+
+Some interesting ideas could not be applied due to implementations
+lacking the necessary support:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Path searching control at the \TeX{} level. If documents could
+restrict subdirectory searching to a subdirectory via some portable
+syntax in file names, restrictions on uniqueness of filenames could be
+relaxed considerably (with the cooperation of the formats), and the
+\TeX{} search path would not need to depend on the format.
+
+\item Multiple logical \texmf{} trees. For example, a site might have
+one (read-only) location for stable files, and a different (writable)
+location for dynamically-created fonts or other files. It would be
+reasonable for two such trees to be logically merged when searching.
+See Michael Downes' article in the references for how this can work in
+practice with Web2C.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Macro structure}
+
+The \abbr{TWG} settled on the
+\replaceable{format}\path|/|\replaceable{package} arrangement after long
+discussion about how best to arrange the files.
+
+The primary alternative to this arrangement was a scheme which reversed
+the order of these directories:
+\replaceable{package}\path|/|\replaceable{format}. This reversed
+arrangement has a strong appeal: it keeps all of the files related to a
+particular package in a single place. The arrangement actually adopted
+tends to spread files out into two or three places (macros,
+documentation, and fonts, for example, are spread into different
+sections of the tree right at the top level).
+
+Nevertheless, the \replaceable{format}\path|/|\replaceable{package}
+structure won for a couple of reasons:
+
+\begin{itemize-squeeze}
+\item It is closer to current practice; in fact, several members of the
+\abbr{TWG} have already implemented the \abbr{TDS} hierarchy. The
+alternative is not in use at any known site, and the \abbr{TWG} felt it
+wrong to mandate something with which there is no practical experience.
+
+\item The alternative arrangement increases the number of top-level
+directories, so the files that must be found using subdirectory
+searching are spread out in a wide, shallow tree. This could have a
+profound impact on the efficiency of subdirectory searching.
+
+\end{itemize-squeeze}
+
+
+\subsection{Font structure}
+
+The \abbr{TWG} struggled more with the font directory structure than
+anything else. This is not surprising; the need to use the proliferation
+of PostScript fonts with \TeX{} is what made the previous arrangement
+with all files in a single directory untenable, and therefore what
+initiated the \abbr{TDS} effort.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Font file type location}
+
+We considered the supplier-first arrangement in use at many sites:
+
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/fonts/\replaceable{supplier}/\replaceable{typeface}/\replaceable{type}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+This improves the maintainability of the font tree, since all files
+comprising a given typeface are in one place, but unless all the
+programs that search this tree employ some form of caching, there are
+serious performance concerns. For example, in order to find a
+\path|TFM| file, the simplest implementation would require \TeX{} to
+search through all the directories that contain \abbr{PK} files in all
+modes and at all resolutions.
+
+In the end, a poll of developers revealed considerable resistance to
+implementing sufficient caching mechanisms, so this arrangement was
+abandoned. The \abbr{TDS} arrangement allows the search tree to be
+restricted to the correct type of file, at least. Concerns about
+efficiency remain, but there seems to be no more we can do without
+abandoning subdirectory searching entirely.
+
+We also considered segregating all font-related files strictly by file
+type, so that \MF{} sources would be in a directory
+\path|texmf/fonts/mf|, property list files in \path|texmf/fonts/pl|, the
+various forms of Type~1 fonts separated, and so on. Although more
+blindly consistent, we felt that the drawback of more complicated path
+constructions outweighed this. The \abbr{TDS} merges file types
+(\path|mf| and \path|pl| under \path|source|, \path|pfa| and \path|pfb|
+and \path|gsf| under \path|type1|) where we felt this was beneficial.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Mode and resolution location}
+
+We considered having the \path|mode| at the bottom of the font tree:
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/fonts/pk/\replaceable{supplier}/\replaceable{typeface}/\replaceable{mode}/\replaceable{dpi}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+In this case, however, it is difficult to limit subdirectory searching
+to the mode required for a particular device.
+
+We then considered moving the \path|dpi|\replaceable{nnn} up to below
+the mode:
+\begin{ttdisplay}
+texmf/fonts/pk/\replaceable{mode}/\replaceable{dpi}/\replaceable{supplier}/\replaceable{typeface}/
+\end{ttdisplay}
+
+But then it is not feasible to omit the \path|dpi|\replaceable{nnn}
+level altogether on systems which can and do choose to use long
+filenames.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Modeless bitmaps}
+
+The \abbr{TDS} specifies using a single directory \path|modeless/| as
+the mode name for those utilities which generate bitmaps, e.g.,
+\path|texmf/fonts/modeless/times/|. This has the considerable advantage
+of not requiring each such directory name to be listed in a search path.
+
+An alternative was to use the utility name below which all such
+directories could be gathered. That has the advantage of separating,
+say, \path|gsftopk|-generated bitmaps from \path|ps2pk|-generated ones.
+However, we decided this was not necessary; most sites will use only one
+program for the purpose. Also, \abbr{PK} and \abbr{GF} fonts generally
+identify their creator in the font comment following the \path|PK_ID|
+byte.
+
+We are making an implicit assumption that \MF{} is the only program
+producing mode-dependent bitmaps. If this becomes false we could add an
+abbreviation for the program to mode names, as in \path|mfcx| vs.\
+\path|xyzcx| for a hypothetical program \application{Xyz}, or we could
+at that time add an additional program name level uniformly to the tree.
+It seemed more important to concisely represent the current situation
+than to worry about hypothetical possibilities that may never~happen.
+
+
+\subsection{Documentation structure}
+
+We considered placing additional documentation files in the same
+directory as the source files for the packages, but we felt that users
+should be able to find documentation separately from sources, since most
+users have no interest in sources.
+
+We hope that a separate, but parallel, structure for documentation would
+(1)~keep the documentation together and (2)~make it as straightforward
+as possible for users to find the particular documentation they were
+after.

+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Description:
+;;
+;; This file provides a limited LaTeX-to-Texinfo conversion function
+;; `tds2texi-convert' which is intended to convert the LaTeX
+;; source of the TDS draft document `tds.tex', using a couple of
+;; special markup tags defined in the document class `tdsguide.cls'.
+;; It is definitely *not* suitable to be used as a general-purpose
+;; LaTeX-to-Texinfo converter and is not intended to be used as such.
+;;
+
+;; Usage (also see the Makefile):
+;;
+;; 0. load or autoload this file, e.g: (load-library "tds2texi")
+;;
+;; 1. go to a directory containing `tds.tex', e.g. in dired mode
+;;
+;; 2. run M-x tds2texi-convert -- this does all the conversion and
+;; leaves you in a buffer `tds.texi' containing the converted file
+;;
+;; 3. edit the buffer if necessary and save it -- you will be asked
+;; for a file name (which should be `tds.texi', of course)
+;;
+;; 4. run M-x makeinfo-buffer or invoke makeinfo and/or texi2html
+;; from the shell -- don't try texi2dvi, it may work all right,
+;; but it's not recommended since it will only cause confusion
+;; with the DVI file created from the original LaTeX source!
+;;
+
+;; Bugs:
+;;
+;; * whitespace (esp. blank lines) before and after environments
+;; will be inconsistent (should be fixed in the LaTeX version!)
+;;
+;; * whitespace (esp. indentation) in tdsSummary environments
+;; will be inconsistent (should be fixed in the LaTeX version!)
+;;
+;; * labels are references are assumed to coincide with names
+;; of @nodes -- this is not always true, e.g. for MF vs. \MF{}
+;;
+;; * the last comma in the list of contributors should be a period
+;;
+;; * the list of contributors should be handled in a better way
+;; (currently: LaTeX tabbing -> @quotation -> HTML <blockquote>)
+;;
+;; * the contents of the top node may get lost in the texi2html
+;; conversion under some circumstances, or else it may end up
+;; in the wrong split file -- this seems to be a texi2html bug
+;;

+% TDS SUMMARIES
+%
+
+% Typeset a figure that shows the TeX directory layout. The layout is
+% input with optical markup:
+%
+% \begin{tdsSummary}
+% dir/ explanation of dir
+% . subdir/ explanation of subdir
+% . . subsubdir/ next subdir level
+% . dir/dir/ more than one dir in one line
+% . <category>/ explanation of category
+% \end{tdsSummary}
+%
+% Directories and category names don't have dots.
+
+% We transform that input into a table. The first table column (the
+% directory spec) is terminated by a slash that's followed by white
+% space. Directory names are typeset in monocase. <categories> are
+% tagged with \replaceable. Subdirectory levels are indented by one
+% quad. A quad is placed between columns. The explanation text
+% is typeset in one line.
+
+% As this is a special implementation for a special document, these
+% design decisions are hardwired, no protected interface is available.
+% Design changes will be realized by changes to the macro code.
+
+
+% The environment is realized as a trivlist to behave correctly in list
+% environments. I don't use a tabular environment, since I don't know
+% exactly how the first column is tokenized. Instead a halign is used.
+% IMO it does not matter, as tdsSummary does not use table markup
+% anyhow. If somebody wants to use longer explanations and if they must
+% be broken then, I have to use one of the tabulars of the tools bundle.
+
+% The first column (the directory names) is typeset in typewriter type. The
+% font chosen hereby must have the underscore at its ASCII position. If
+% that is not the case, one has to generalize \tds_dir_tags below.
+% Namely, this macro sets up the special lexical convention for this
+% column. As TeX will look at the first token of the column to check for
+% the table end, \cr, or \omit before \tds_dir_tags is evaluated, the
+% redefinition of the lexical analysis will not have happened for that
+% token. So we have to check this token specially if it's one of the
+% special optical markup chars.
+
+% After we started the trivlist, we need to supply the item (as this
+% macro really adds the vertical space). But it does not actually
+% start an item, it sets up the everypar register to do so. We fake
+% the item start as we don't want to go in horizontal mode, \halign
+% needs to be evaluated in vertical mode.
+%
+% \par is not evaluated by \endtrivlist and \end, so we don't need
+% another group around its redefinition.

+% Revision 1.19 2004/03/28 14:21:10 karl
+% (\tdsSummary): \let\obeylines=\relax after we set
+% it, so url.sty v3.0's usage of \obeylines does not
+% cause errors.
+%
+% Revision 1.18 1998/01/26 21:26:10 karl
+% (\TeXinfo): Remove unused and incorrect name.
+% (\parsep): Decrease slightly.
+% (\l@section): Decrease section spacing for toc slightly.
+% (\@maketitle): Remove word `draft'.
+%
+% Revision 1.17 1997/02/07 20:47:16 karl
+% Fix : in tdsSummary, more doc.
+%
+% Revision 1.16 1996/11/16 14:23:58 karl
+% fancyhdr requires different commands.
+%
+% Revision 1.13 1995/11/21 18:57:35 schrod
+% Add description-squeeze environment.
+%
+% Revision 1.12 1995/11/14 18:33:18 schrod
+% Drop draft hint in legalnotice environment, make title more
+% squeezed. Changes by Karl, to make title & toc fit on one page.
+%
+% Revision 1.11 1995/11/14 12:36:54 schrod
+% Use url.sty instead of path.sty. (On request of Karl, better input
+% syntax and different line breaks [0.103].)
+% Rename environment explicate to ttdisplay. (Proposal of Karl.)
+%
+% Revision 1.10 1995/11/11 16:29:01 schrod
+% Identify version of class in log file.
+% Change layout of table of contents. Implementation of a discussion
+% between Karl Berry and myself.
+%
+% Revision 1.9 1995/11/11 15:43:34 schrod
+% Replace alltt environment by explicate environment. Change
+% requested by Karl at 09 Nov 95.
+%
+% Revision 1.8 1995/11/02 10:52:29 schrod
+% Add option nomflogo, mflogo is default now.
+% Don't need provision for slanted typewriter type any more,
+% replacable texts are set in italics now.
+% Add logos \texmf and \CTAN:. [kb]
+% Set margins in addition to \textwidth. It's a bit wider, too. [kb]
+% Wider distance between item label and item text. [kb]
+% New environment itemize-squeeze, without space between items. [kb]
+%
+% Revision 1.7 1995/05/18 09:06:39 schrod
+% Don't parse arguments unnecessarily early, one might change
+% catcodes in them.
+% Use \tds_tt to switch to typewriter, also typesets backslashs and
+% underscores [kb].
+% Increase width to 33pc [kb].
+%
+% Revision 1.6 1995/05/12 23:19:07 schrod
+% \f@size may be a fraction, so use dimension register to compute
+% the reduced size for abbreviations [dc].
+% In summary tables, terminate the directory names with slashes [kb, nw].
+%
+% Revision 1.5 1995/05/09 01:46:24 schrod
+% Typeset abbreviation one point smaller than surrounding font [uv,
+% kb, bb], use always uppercase letters for them. Rename the tag from
+% \acronym to \abbr [kb, nw].
+%
+% Revision 1.4 1995/05/09 00:39:57 schrod
+% Repair vertical spacing around tdsSummary environment.
+%
+% Revision 1.3 1995/05/08 17:14:52 schrod
+% For TDS 0.72 Norm changed the document to use \abbr (argument with
+% lowercase letters) instead of \acronym. It's not looking better, of
+% course; small caps is not really a good font for abbreviations. This
+% revision just tracks his change, I'll look later if I can improve the
+% rendering.
+%
+% Revision 1.2 1995/05/07 18:22:53 schrod
+% In environment tdsSummary: Next directory level indented by one
+% quad, without dots for indentation [kb, !uv, js].
+% Renamed Draft flag to TdsDraft, to keep namespace clean.
+% Headline now features a centered short title [kb, uv, nw]. It's
+% still ruled.
+% \replaceable used spurious \selectfont [uv]. \dir & \ext are not
+% used [uv].
+% Subsubsections are also numbered and not indented [uv]. But they
+% are still not added to the table of contents. Actually, we have only
+% _one_ subsubsection...
+% Set erroneously counter `secnumdepth' when I wanted fewer section
+% headings in the table of contents. That's controlled by counter
+% `tocdepth' [uv].
+% Inherit tdsguide from article class, not from ltxguide. The tags
+% of the latter class are not appropriate and we define our layout
+% ourselves.
+%
+
+%
+% pre-CVS Log:
+%
+% 19 Apr 95 js Made a LaTeX2e class.
+% Use mflogo option to select MF/MP logo typesetting,
+% support configuration file.
+% 1994-1995 nw Initial revision.
