+# knuth-hint – HINT collection of typeset C/WEB sources in TeX Live
+
+Here you find a large collection of HINT documents for many C/WEB programs in
+TeX\ Live, both in their original form as written by their respective authors,
+and in the changed form as they are actually used in the TeX Live system. Care
+has been taken to keep the section numbering intact, so that you can study the
+sources and their changes in parallel. Also included is the collection of
+‘errata’ for Donald Knuth's “Computers & Typesetting” series.
+
+Although not all the texts here are written or maintained by Donald Knuth, it
+is more convenient for everything to be collected in one place for reading and
+searching. They all stem from the system that Knuth created. The central
+entry point is the ‘index’ file, with links to the individual documents, either
+in HTML or in PDF format.
+
+If you believe to have found anything that remains technically, historically,
+typographically, or politically incorrect in any of these files, please feel
+free to [report bugs in \TeX\ and friends](https://tug.org/texmfbug/).

+The “License” of the `knuth-hint` package is “Public Domain” and it covers only
+the contents of this package, _not_ the various (and varying) “free software”
+licenses of the presented software codes.

+This is version “1.0” of the `knuth-hint` package — 2022-04-06, Andreas Scherer.
