+PDFTeX-djgpp v2019-10-02
+========================
+
+This package complements the current distribution of msdos-djgpp TeX by
+providing a working, updated binary for pdftex. Simply put it along the other
+binaries in the distribution and update the formats accordingly. Please check
+details of operation of djgpp-TeX at the main distribution.
+
+This binary is based on the 2018 sources for TeXLive, as published by the
+TeXLive team, and cross-compiled on CygWin64 on a Win10 machine. Sources and
+compilation instructions may be found at
+
+https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source
+
+For general discussions and bug reports for pdfTeX itself, use the mailing
+lists provided at
+
+http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/
+
+For inquiries for the djgpp-DOS port provided here, please refer to the
+discussions at
+
+http://tex.stackexchange.com/
+
+As a port of pdfTeX, this binary is distributed according to the GNU Public
+License, version 2, or above. To read the full license please visit
+
+https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html
+
+Along with the binaries, we have here two configuration files to produce the
+pdftex format. Names have been adapted to fit the 8.3 restriction for DOS
+filenames and avoid clashes with other or older systems.
+
+Good luck and happy PDFTeXing.
